...that Osama Bin Laden thinks he can influence our election with threats of terrorism. This country has never been stronger or more united behind our President than it was on September 11, 2001.
What a gross misjudgement he has made in believing that Americans are so weak we would be swayed by such a threat. If anything, he has helped President Bush immensely. I think even John Kerry has to believe that. I'm certain that Kerry doesn't want the support of a known mass murderer.
Screw you, Osama. I already voted!
Congrats to the Boston Red Sox on their sweeping victory over the St. Louis Cardinals to become the World Series Champs!
The Sox really wanted this thing, no doubt about it. They weren't letting St. Louis gain even a tiny bit of momentum.
Now we can all put this curse nonsense to rest...
I took advantage of a smokin' deal on a shiny new Dell Inspiron 700m notebook, but its on backorder until November 10.
This means it won't be here in time for me to take it to London.
If it doesn't make it in time for my trip to Maui, I think I might cry.
Hey, Yankee fans... "Who's your daddy?"
Congrats to the Boston Red Sox for doing what no other team has done in the history of baseball. And, as Curt Schilling said, "make 55,000 New Yorkers shut up".
I'm pullin' for the Sox in the series all the way...
I feel really bad for the Red Sox fans. These poor people have been through emotional hell for the past two games, watching their team hang on by a thread for 12 innings, 14 innings...
Sure, they've come out victorious, but let's be realistic here--nobody in the history of baseball has ever come back and won four straight after losing the first three games in the playoffs. And to do it in Yankee Stadium? It just isn't going to happen.
Don't get me wrong--I hate the Yankees. I'd love nothing more than for the Red Sox to prove me wrong and keep the Yankees out of the World Series. If nothing else, I'm grateful that their bullpen is being beaten down by these incredibly long battles. If they had swept the Red Sox, they'd have had plenty of rest to get ready, as the Astros and Cardinals series will probably go to seven games.
With any luck, the Red Sox will take another victory tonight, although that would just be pure torture for their fans.
The poor folks in Boston probably haven't slept much this week...
Michael Jackson is upset with the way he is being portrayed in Eminem's newest video, so he's asking music television networks to stop airing it.
Hmmm... does Michael have that much pull with MTV these days? My guess is, no.
I could be wrong, but I think Eminem sells a whole lot more records these days than Michael Jackson does. And whether Michael is guilty or not, he puts himself in a position to be made fun of by the lifestyle that he leads. Innocent or not (probably NOT), it's not normal to sleep in a bed with other people's children.
Eminem is kind of a dick... he makes fun of everyone. But its damn entertaining if you're not so uptight and politically correct that you let things get to you. His forum is MTV, where that kind of behavior is almost expected. If you find it offensive, don't' watch it.
Its not like he whipped it out on the Superbowl or anything...
Dammit.
Every time the Cardinals give me something to get excited about, they go out and take a nosedive. The game against the 49'ers was about as disappointing as any game they've lost in years.
The offense finally starts to gel a little, and suddenly the defense that has been so dominating in the first four games of the season lays an egg. The same defense who hadn't allowed a touchdown in twelve quarters of football allows two in the last five minutes of the game--when we're up by 16 points.
Oh yeah, and two 2-point conversions.
And suddenly the guy who kicks the ball nearly to the end-zone on every kickoff can only manage to get the ball to the 20 yard line in overtime. We get the stop on 3rd down but wait--personal foul! Automatic 1st down!
Egads... what a horrible game.
How nice of us to give the 49'ers their first win of the season.
Huh... I thought Abercrombie & Fitch were famous for touting their products were "Made in America".
But this t-shirt must have been made in Korea.
I mean, why would an American company poke fun at an innocent American athelete who worked hard his entire life to earn a gold medal?
For God's sake, leave Paul Hamm alone already. Regardless of whether a judging mistake was made, he did nothing wrong. Besides, it was pretty much decided that even if they had used the same starting value in the Korean gymnast's routine, other mistakes went "unnoticed" that should have resulted in higher markdowns. And the Korean gymnastic team should have protested immediately, not waited until the next day.
Its all a bunch of crap. But then, I shouldn't be surprised that a company that uses sex to sell overpriced clothing to teenagers would put out a product like this.
L is for Loser... that's right, Abercrombie. Take that to heart!
A must read for dog lovers...
Watch yourself, though. I found myself bawling at work over this one.
Remember what I said earlier in the week about not getting hit by Adrian Wilson? I guess the NFL agrees... he was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
No doubt about it, this boy can lay the wood. Its so much fun to hear the entire crowd go, "Ooooh!"
Good job, Adrian... keep up the heavy hits!
This could revolutionize sports medicine.
Imagine your star players being able to return from a knee injury in a couple of weeks without invasive surgery.
Fascinating...
In his weekly analysis of the NFL, Terry Bradshaw said this:
"The Cardinals continue to impress me. They played great against the Saints, who I still can't figure out. You can just see the Cardinals turning it around. Heck, they played the Falcons better last week than the Panthers did on Sunday. Explain that to me. I can't name three guys on that Arizona defense, but they are flying around, making plays.
Think of the microscope that Joe Gibbs is under in Washington. Well, Gibbs is 1-3 just like Dennis Green is. But Green, he's flying a stealth bomber. Some people in Arizona probably don't even know they have a team and he's coaching it. I'm telling you, Green could be the first coach to win four or five games and be named coach of the year. He's doing that good of a job."
I think he'll have to win more than four or five to be considered for "Coach of the Year", but if we can even pull out a .500 season at this point, Dennis Green will have my vote.
Not that my vote counts...
Its so much more fun to win than to lose...
Cheers to the Cards for kicking the crap out of the New Orleans Saints.
Yeah, so maybe the Saints ain't all that, but our defense is a lot of fun to watch (attention wide receivers--do not get hit by Adrian Wilson--you'll regret it) and the offense is starting to come together.
My only regret is that there were so few Saints fans to heckle.
Next week San Francisco, and from the looks of them we should be able to win that game. A couple of wins is a nice way to get back on track...
I think Dennis Green is making great strides with this team.
for ruling that Jake Plummer could not continue to wear #40 on the back of his helmet without violating NFL policy.
I know that other players outside the Cardinals organization also requested to wear it through the end of the season. I don't see how wanting to honor Pat Tillman constitutes a "personal statement" and I find it particularly irritating in Jake's case. After all, they were friends and college teammates before they played in the NFL.
They can wear Reebok or Nike logos on their jerseys, but they can't wear a little sticker on the back of their helmet to honor a fallen war hero.
Give me a break.
