If G.W. didn't have a war on his hands he would likely enjoy great popularity because America's economy seems to be rosy. Oh, but that's right, the best thing for a country's economy is a war machine...it's just a matter of how long will a war remain popular with it's people.

And in world news...looks like Iran is ready to go to war over having nukes. Great. now another conflict for us to get tangled in. If America just said fuck it and left every country alone would they leave us alone? I think so. One of my favorite Thomas Jefferson quotes is: "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." Makes only perfect sense.

Mike Vick may have been caught with some herb. With all the money these guys have don't they just make sure some pot is waiting for them at the airport? Why do you have to carry it on your person? He probably could have easily stashed it in his luggage and would have been fine. But the description of the drug sounds more like hash than pot...but we'll wait for the lab results and find out then.

Chargers' Cam Cameron talking with the Dolphins. It was just yesterday when I heard sports pundits talking about that if the Chargers fired Marty that they would lose a lot of their coaching staff because they are all loyal to Marty. Lofton talking with the Raiders, Cameron with the Dolphins...which coaches are so loyal to Marty? The ones that help make bonehead calls and mismanage the game? Yeah, make sure we keep them.

Here is yet another example of why MLB is a joke. It isn't the players that are opposing stricter penalties for drug use in their league, it is the owners. Yes, it is clear that the owners endorse drugs in baseball because they know when they have a hopped up player that can hit 70 homeruns a year they will be raking in the dough thanks to sold-out stadiums.

Sampras inducted into the International Tennis Hall Of Fame. One of my all-time favorite tennis players and the man who introduced the world to the big serve, Pete Sampras gets inducted into the HOF. A class act and Wimbeldon king. In other tennis news, of course the Australian Open is underway with lots of big match-ups coming up. I really liked Martina Hingis and am curious to see how she will do after coming back last year after a long lay-off from a foot injury.

iPhone's now! It only gets funnier for Apple Inc. (formerly Apple Computer). Last week Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, comes out with much fan-fare and hoopla to announce Apple's latest product, the iPhone. A all-in-one device that will let a person email, listen to music, cell-phone, internet, etc.... (and yes they are already available now but called PDA's). The device's most note-worthy quality, a touchscreen rather than buttons. Well, you don't have to wait until June and for Apple's iPhone, LG is releasing a similar looking device available in March. Next month Jobs will be out touting Apple's latest, greatest gadget the iToast. It will play music and toast bread at the same time...they will most certainly have the early jump on that market.


The Doomsday Clock was set to 5 minutes before midnight yesterday. With North Korea having nukes, Iran getting Nukes and the volatility of the global political scene right now, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the creators/caretakers of the Doomsday Clock, have moved the hand to 5 midnights before doomsday...the first movement of the hand since 2002. It was previously at 7 midnights to midnight.
