And isn't it ironic...don't you think?

George Bush continues to gloat that one of the great things about liberating Iraq and Afghanistan will be that these countries will now have elections that allow the general public to choose their leader. While the United States works to get these elections going across seas, it is clear that Americans don't even have faith in our own election procedures. In a recent Time magazine poll, 48% of those polled said they think the winner of this November's presidential election will not be legitimate. Over 50% of those polled think that the Supreme Court will decide who is our next president. It's unbelievable that after the debacle in Florida in 2000, that the American people haven't demanded election reform.

Who's the SOD now?

When the Minnesota Vikings drafted running back Onterio Smith in the fourth round, Smith crowned himself the SOD - Steal Of the Draft. Now that Smith is serving a four game suspension for violating the NFL's drug policy, the Vikings have found a new SOD. Mewelde Moore has racked up over 600 total yards in his first three starts in the NFL. The Vikings have won all three of those games. Rumors in Minneapolis are that even when Michael Bennett is healthy and Smith is allowed to play again, that Moore will still be the Vikings guy. As long he continues to make big plays without turnovers, I've got no problem with that.

8 errors, 2 wins

The bats and some solid pitching by Curt Schilling bailed the Boston Red Sox out again tonight as they made four errors for the second straight game in the World Series. Normally eight errors in two games will equal at least one loss, so the Sox have to feel lucky being up 2-0 right now as they get ready to head back to St. Louis.
