Random Shots
Just some random thoughts after perusing the news...
The big stink about the judicial filibusters: If guys like Kennedy, Schumacher, Boxer and Reid are mainstream, I don't want to be.
Yankees/Red Sox: After pushing the fan that made contact with him the other night, Sheffield should be suspended. Also I don't care if they are two of the best teams in baseball, I'm sick of hearing about them. If it wasn't for teams like them, playing in big money markets and keeping it all, the Pirates may have a chance to win a World Series this century.
Washington Nationals: Now that they have finally played the first game in DC, can we not have to hear about them as much now? After all, they're only the Expos.
The Minutemen project: Illegal border crossings in the area where they are observing are down amazingly. Maybe that's what the federal government should be doing...protecting the border.
Football: The draft is coming up. The off season holy days of the football faithful. I'm looking forward to it.
Related football: Pitt is it! The University of Pittsburgh has reclaimed its old name. Now everyone can call it what it has been called all along.
Court news: If there is a bigger waste of time than the Michael Jackson trial, I'm not aware of it. Can we just convict the guy of being weird and sentence him to France or something equally nasty.
Speaking of France: A bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys. ( I just wanted to type that)
Money: It's a nice thing. I wish I had more. Well, I did in my retirement account until the market tanked this week.
Retirement: By the time they finally get around to fixing Social Security (which is neither social nor secure) I'll probably be too old to get in on the fix.
The Pope: As an out of practice Catholic, I admired the man for his steadiness. I wish I could be as strong in faith as he was.
The next Pope: Early odds are on a European to be the next Pope. Cardinal Ratzinger is the early favorite. Sounds solid to me but I think that I'm putting my money on Cardinal Arinze from Africa.
Well, it's a loverly day in the neighborhood, I think I'm going to go outside and play. Actually I'm just going to walk through the campus at Gettysburg College and look at how loverly the day can be.
