On the list of people you're embarassed to admit you share a species with, alledged human Kim Jong
Il, North Korea's Lunatic-in-Chief, is certainly way up there.
When the Dear Leader is not busy kidnapping actresses or SCORING FIVE HOLES IN ONE whenever he
plays golf, or building nuclear weapons while millions of his countrymen quite literally starve to
death, Kim seems to be something of a football fan.

In an article by Greg Auman for the St Petersburg Times, Zak Boggs is looking to be USF's first
Rhodes Scholar. If selected for the study program at Oxford University in England, Zak would be in
the company of such folk as Bill Clinton, Kris Kristofferson (I kid you not), and Richard Danzig
(no, not the rock band leader).

Cresci com a ideia e convicção que do outro lado do Atlântico Norte, só existiam imperialistas
e gente que lançava o mal por todo o mundo. Hoje espanto-me com o que vou lendo e ouvindo acerca

Read Naomi Wolf's thorough and absolutely horrific article about the sexual perversity
perpetrated by the Bushies in Iraq and elsewhere. I do not understand why Obama is rationalizing
and temporizing about releasing the photos and really going after these sadomasochistic pricks.

There's lots to be said for symmetry! Indeed, back in '80, the first time the Phillies won it
all, yours truly was about to turn 28 ... and now here we are 28 years later! Yeah,
symmetry! :) On a chilly night in Philly, they did it again! That training Scene from
Rocky 1 still [...]

Here's Beulah's match report. I'm always so pleased when one or two things I noticed show up in
Beulah's write-up! I continue to be impressed with HAO's play - and was also very glad to see Mitts
playing more like her old self. Hope A-Rod gets her scoring started against New Zealand

Tonight's full moon will look unusually large. Apparently that is a big fat moon illusion - and one
that is particularly pronounced in June. Speaking of June and moons ... what was that movie with
Cher that had the word moon in the title? Anybody know? Maybe it'll come to me
