Note the 'mustache.' What a joke.
I did not want the Penguins to win the Stanley Cup. I wanted the euro-trash, hockey dynasty from Detroit to make Sidney Crosby cry. It didn’t happen. I’m bitter.
In other news, Cristiano Ronaldo is evidently worth somewhere between a lot and way too much. I’ll say this much as a Man U fan–we sold him in his prime for more than any other player in history. We will be just fine.
World News:
Moussavi won the election. Lets be real.
Obama wants to bankrupt us. Or hospitals. Or save us money? Fix debt? Put us in debt? Kinda depends on what kind of mood you are or what/who you are reading.
I don’t know what Pakistan is doing on the best of days; usually it’s somewhere between driving US officials absolutely mad and freewheeling some kind of manhunt from a cubical in Islamabad. Good people.
Israel has spies!? Thats ludicrous. That’s like saying the United States has a convoluted history with Native Americans. Can’t imagine it being true.

If you are in the mood for crying on a Saturday morning, go ahead and read this story about a basketball team and their coach. Most of the older generation in this country have a certain world-view when it comes to younger generations and our shenanigans. But this story is proof that you can expect great things if you believe it is something we are capable of.
I also challenge you not to weep openly when you read about Bill Simmons’s dog.
On a lighter note, Manchester toasted Tottenham. But the real story was about how much of a baby Ronaldo is. I don’t care though. Name a soccer player who can score at will playing today other than Ronaldo.
Why is this news?
And finally, a letter from the leader of Libya, Muammar Qaddafi, explaining the need for a ‘one state solution’ in Israel and Palestine. That name might ring a bell; he is the one who took responsibility for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people, most of them Americans. When you read between the lines in this letter, it is blatantly obvious why he is suggesting a single state: the current birth rate of Palestinians is almost 20 percent higher than that of Israel’s. The ability for the Israeli’s to have any power in a democratic government would be wiped out in no more than 40 years.
