Al-Jimzeera Talking Points

* Sean Cole's new Boog book releases tonight at the ACA Gallery. Sean is Boston's loudest laugher and brightest smile. Check him out, 6 PM. With music from Aaron 7 Kiely.

* It'll be a Blue Christmas! Rove is *toast.*

* Stan Van Gundy was probably tired of Pat Riley breathing down his neck. Pat--why don't you try to win with Jason Williams and Antoine Walker and without Shaq. Please! Show us how it's done!

* Almost forgot: Happy Birthday, Jacqueline Waters.
