Rockets aim for US ships in Port

CNN is reporting that 3 rockets were fired at US ships in a Jordanian port. The rockets were fired from a warehouse rented by 4 people with Iraqi and Egyptian roots. No US personel were injured, but one Jordanian was killed and one injured.

Ouch!!! Poor Mets

In the Mets game last night Mike Cameron and Carlos Beltran collided as they both dove for a ball in right center field. Cameron suffered fractures to both cheek bones and his nose.

Please name your college sports team after me

The NCAA in a horrible decision recently decided that colleges can no longer show any images or nicknames that have to do with Native Americans in their post season tournaments. So teams like Florida State, Utah and others are defacto being forced to change their mascots and nicknames. Finally Governor Jeb Bush has decided to fight this Madness. I wonder what the BCS would do if FLorida State was ranked Number 1 and said that they were going to bring their mascot to the Bowl game for the Championship?

Cheerleaders should be hired as Police Chiefs

After witnessing a hit and run accident, some cheerleaders used the skills they practice every day to help police identify the culprit.

Cheerleaders are not just easy on the eyes. They can also be an important part of law enforcement. Now, lets just figure out how they can be used in the War on Terror.
