(Is this worth $3.7 Million for a night?)First I would like to add to second SayHey's notion before on congratulating the greatest of all time Rickey Henderson.
As a pseudo-fan of the late 80's Oakland Athletics (mostly for Jose Canseco though admittedly), I was able to watch the greatest of all time take bases and get into pitchers heads at-will. It was truly a sight to see.
It does hammer the point home that the baseball writers again do not deserve their votes when they have again denied someone that should have been a unanimous pick (self-righteous pricks is the term I'd go with), but they will have their final chance to prove me wrong for having no faith in them when Greg Maddux comes up in a few more years. Try giving one reason why Maddux shouldn't receive all the votes EXCEPT for the "because nobody else has" bullsh*& they've said about folks like Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn...
This just in, Jim Rice STILL shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame!
Thought I'd make sure that was out there before moving on to the news of the day...
Leading off, it seems that President Bush is trying to leave office in the typical grace of a lame-duck by playing a bit of revisionist historian. Normally this is something that's tolerable and even accepted as the country tries to ready itself for the new chief coming into town, but given the polarizing forces that are soon to be kicked out of town, it begs the question "do we owe him a graceful exit?". Do we allow Dubya to ignore the facts of his biggest mistakes in office after leading his "unitifier" campaign the way a jilted lover would have circa late 1600's Salem Mass?
In "Old World" news, Bush's British butt-boy Blair appears to be on the shortlist to take over the EU.

"I don't know if you want to call those mistakes or not, but they were—things didn't go according to plan, let's put it that way," Bush said.Short answer, hell no, in my humble opinion. You do not earn the right to go out in style after pushing so much divisive politics on this nation, nor should you be given the right to sweep all those things under the rug and walk away...
In "Old World" news, Bush's British butt-boy Blair appears to be on the shortlist to take over the EU.
According to EU officials and diplomats, the impressive performance of Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s president, during his six-month spell in charge of the EU last year has strengthened the hand of those who say a big name should guide the 27-nation blocInteresting train of thought on this anyway, in that they feel they need a "rock-star" type leader, but why keep recycling leaders that probably wouldn't win in their own country's general elections? Smacks a bit of more of an Aristocratic Parliamentary system to me...
Finally, and probably most importantly, in a story we've been following at LSWTF for a while now... Natalie Dylan 22, from beautiful San Diego has auctioned off her own virginity as a one-night-stand online in order to pay for school. Apparently Natalie's older sister was able to pay for her own schooling after working as a prostitute for three weeks...
Bidding has gotten as high now as $3.7 million dollars...
Maybe we'll need Mr. SanDiego or Noodle to chime in on this one, but are jobs so scarce in San Diego that all 20 somethings have to sell themselves in order to pay for school?
Just can't make this stuff up!
That is all...
