Friday Friday Friday. Why did I start this bullets thing? It's a demand on me when I least need it. Friday is the new Saturday half-day, you know. Along with there being no jet pack in the yard, where did the four day week go? That was a promise, wasn't it? Computers and robots were supposed to be doing all the heavy lifting by now.
- Unimportant Sports Fact Update: "Centre-fielder Vernon Wells hit his 15th homer and drove in all four runs Thursday for Toronto, which was coming off a three-game sweep of Baltimore." Who cares?
- Further Update: 23% of the UK's population of persons in prison, or on parole or probation are vets. That is shameful.
- Update: I feel badly for Wayne but hope the Hamilton team is called the Tigers or even the Bulldogs
- Oh, goodie. Goodie-goodie-gumdrops. I do love that crazies have bomb making materials. What if Einstein had known that? Would he have put down the pen?
- More seats for you, no seats for you. I am not sure I want a majority ever again. "It takes almost four Calgary votes to equal one PEI vote."
- Glambo: superhero of villainesse?
- I'd say Francona is the best Sox manager ever. If they take 2 of 3 from the Yankees this weekend, he's at least better than Girardi head to head. That's all that matters.
More later. Running.

I would like to see the Hamilton Blackberrys, complete with a Blackberry team logo. Sports announcers would refer to them as 'the berrs' (ie pron. 'bears'). Fans would be referred to as 'Crackheads'. Hmm, can't think of nickname for the rink.
Anyway, all that would please Mr. Bettman, I'm sure. 8-)
I think the league has set a precedent with Might Ducks of Anaheim in allowing franchise names that support non-hockey business initiatives of the owners.

I vote for the Tigers. I prefer history to govern.
As for Iran... well, "Where have you gone, Bibi Netanyahu -- a Western world turns its lonely eyes to you, woo woo wooo..."

I think if we're even friendlier to Russia (see missisle defense switch) we'll find out much, much more about Iran.
And, if the Red Sox dont win 2 of 3 vs. the resting up for playoffs Yankees, Francona should take a pay-cut.
I vote for Hamilton Raiders, a tribute to Al Davis.

Whither the British Army?
"Ti-Berrys"?

Glambo is a force of nature -- neither heroine nor villainesse. Just don't offend her.
