Image? You noticed? Seen on the beach on Cape Cod on Saturday. When body-surfing in the Atlantic, the ocean waves can play fun tricks with a gal's bathing top.
World Cup - Great game, until the end. The trouble with low-scoring sports is the larger role of luck. Maybe just eliminate the goalies? Naw, that would worsen unemployment in Europe.
What are colleges warning the kids about in freshman orientation these days? Poker, facebook photos, etc.

Last week I posted the following:
Hamas can't let Israel go. That's right - opposing the existence of Israel is their only claim to power. If the Palestinians were interested in anything else - like running a country, and an economy, having normal happy lives, getting educated, etc. - these terrorist creeps would be outta there. Tiny Israel, with no natural resources other than people, is the Great Middle-Eastern scapegoat and distraction from their own failings. Without Israel, or the Americans, they'd have to look at themselves in the mirror - and who wants to do that? So killing Jews, a handful at a time, can keep them in power for a long time, because there are lots of Jews in Israel.
As if to confirm that notion, Ahmadinejab said this on the 8th (Gateway):
"The basic problem in the Islamic world is the existence of the Zionist regime, and the Islamic world and the region must mobilise to remove this problem," the president said at the opening of the two-day conference.
Well, if Israel is the greatest problem, then the Middle East has no problems. These guys learned from history that distraction, hatred, and scapegoating are effective political tools, especially with the ignorant and the uneducated.
