Bush on Global Warming

President Bush says he plans to address the question of global emissions in an effort to reduce greenhouse gasses. Environmentalists are skeptical, because over the last 6 years Bush's administration has consistently rolled back environmental protection regulation and refused to participate in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.

I am willing to give the President a chance on this issue. Perhaps he has had a change of heart on the question. Perhaps his daughters said, "Dad, your environmental policies will result in the destruction of the planet before you see your grandchildren."

Environmentalists distrust President Bush, and so should anyone who likes to breath clean air and drink clean water. But the question isn't President Bush, the question is the environment. If it is the environment hating President Bush that fixes the environment, so be it.

American Injustice

In California, a district attorney decided not to press charges against eight men from a college basketball team who gang raped a 17 year old girl. Though there were two witnessness, the DA decided he didn't have enough evidence.

Meanwhile, in Atlanta, a federal judge sentenced a woman to ten years in prison for stealing soft drink secrets from Coke. Federal Judge Forrester exceeded the prosecutions request for 63-78 month sentence and instead gave her 8 years. Judge Forrester said, "This is the kind of offense that cannot be tolerated in our society."

The Moral of the Story: If you gang rape a 17 year old girl, its OK, but if you steal the secret formula for a soda from international corporation you will do hard time and lots of it. What a great country.

America's Cup Racing

The Italians will tackle the Kiwis to compete for the America's Cup against the Swiss. The Swiss? Aye, the Swiss. Not a nation with a great sailing tradition, but for sure a well financed nation. The Swiss bought the Kiwi team five years ago and staged a curious victory. As there is no salt water in the lovely Swiss countryside, the Swiss decided to let the races occur in Spain.

Andiamo Luna Rossa!

AC Milan slips past Liverpool

AC Milan got some help from the Hand of Maradonna's God and a faulty stopwatch on the wrist of the referee. Still, Inzaghi's second goal was world class and was enough to ensure the Italian side would take home the cup.

No doubt Liverpool fans will wonder why the referee stopped the match about 45 seconds early, or why fan favorite Crouch didn't get into the game until the end, but the English side played a fairly good match, excluding the curious hands in the air defense that took the place of actually marking the players from Milan.

Bush Get's US out of Iraq War

Credit to George Bush for finally figuring a way out of Iraq. It was a stroke of genius, really. I wouldn't have thought him capable. He has insisted on a war budget that the Democrats in congress wont give him. So they will keep sending him budgets, he will veto them, the money will run out and the troops will come home. The Republican's can blame the Democrats for the retreat and failed financing of the war effort. The Democrats can blame the Republicans for failing to finance the war effort. It will be business as usual and Bush should get the credit for managing such a fine exit from the middle east.

AC Milan crushes Manchester United

Kaka and friends crushed the English side in the second leg of the Champions League semi final. The Mann U showed none of the brilliance they had produced earlier in their 3-2 victory over the Italian side in England.

AC Milan fans have to feel good after their team scored five goals against Manchester United in two matches. Liverpool managed only one goal in two matches against Chelsea. Still, it will be a clean slate in Greece, and Liverpool beat the Italians in the same final two years ago.

Meanwhile, the Manchester United fans will be dreaming of Sir Alex's replacement.
