Geography Game
dammit, why did I think Mali was in southeast asia... You were confusing it with Bali, which is one of the Indonesian islands. My big problems were totally-obscure places in the long nations of South America as well as Australia; and the relative positions of the Pacific island nations, which I did know but couldn't seem to reconcile on their map. In the first try I also got a couple errors that I smacked myself in the head for later, like choosing Mali instead of Malawi, Djibouti instead of Burundi, and Bharain instead of Bhutan.

Geography Game
http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq What's your traveler IQ? Mine is 122, that's the highest so far 504,372 points. 11 levels. IQ 125. First try. And they say Americans don't know their Geography. :mischief EDIT: 578,717 points, IQ 133 on second try.

Joe Gibbs Retires
Just when he was breaking through, he calls it quits. Didn't quite turn out the way they hoped, but I think that's more a talent issue than a Joe Gibbs issue. Good luck with the racecars, Joe.

Clemens: Trainer Only Injected Me With Legal Drugs
McNamee wasn't testifying to a grand jury and I don't think was charged with anything yet. He was under no pressure to tell the truth as to avoid perjury. He was under pressure to be cooperative to gain leniency. Outing Clemens served that purpose. McNamee is like a street dealer offering up a king pin, only there's nothing to link the king pin to anything. Well, Andy admitting to exactly what McNamee said he did doesn't exactly make McNamee look like a liar.

Clemens: Trainer Only Injected Me With Legal Drugs
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3184646 Clemens has officially filed suit. I expect that McNamee will counter-sue shortly. It's on like Donkey Kong now. :mischief

American al-Qaeda leader: Traps set for Bush in Middle East
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4093635&page=1 So this douche who claims to be the top American in al-Qaeda says that they have set traps for President Bush in Jerusalem, and that he's going to get whacked on this trip. Even if there's any credibility to this whatsoever (and this guy looks more apt to be that loser who killed himself playing World of Warcraft nonstop than lead any sort of terrorism planning), the last thing you want to do is make an American President a martyr. Just ask the American South.

Damn that's the most nerve racking game for me in a long time. Glad we got out of there with a win. Treasure every moment as if they were your last. And root for San Diego, so we can pull New England next week.

2008 Presidential Primaries
This could be a nice all inclusive topic for all things related to the 2008 Presidential Primaries. Here is a list of when the primaries are: * January 29: Florida Just a brief reminder that this Democratic primary will not count because they pushed up the date and the DNC is punishing the state party. The Florida DNC sued, and a federal judge declared that since the primaries are not part of the actual general election, they are not a voting right. So Florida and Michigan are both f***ed. The GOP has tried to dissuade their state parties from doing the same, but has not taken such action against the Florida GOP. They aren't expected to.

Ricky Williams Contract Renewed
For once, it's not his fault that he got knocked out for the season. Considering the price, it's not a bad decision.

McNamee threatens to sue Clemens
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3178698 A lawyer for Brian McNamee, the man who told investigators for the Mitchell report that he injected steroids and human growth hormone into Roger Clemens, told The New York Times he will sue Clemens if he accuses McNamee of lying in a "60 Minutes" interview scheduled to air Sunday. "He's got a chance to protect himself," Richard D. Emery, a New York-based lawyer who specializes in libel and defamation actions, told The Times. "We're not going to sue him if he doesn't do it. But if he does it, we're going to sue him." Clemens was interviewed by "60 Minutes" correspondent Mike Wallace last Friday. The interview is set to be aired Sunday following CBS' coverage of the NFL playoffs. And it gets even more interesting. The thing is, Clemens can't deny using roids and HGH without calling McNamee a liar. Now, we have to find the truth.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!1!!11!!!
Happy New Year to all. I was in Times Square for the event last night, it's my 10th year present at it in a row. Has anyone else here ever attended it? I've only attended one New Year's Eve party, let along go to Times Square. :confused You have to see Times Square on New Years one year, it is a unique experience. I did that last year. :thumbup I even stayed right on 46th St. at the Paramount. If I had known the Church of Scientology were next door I would have found a different hotel. :|

Dolphins GM out
According to Fox Sports, Jeff Ireland will be allowed to interview for the GM job tomorrow and obviously, he'll be offered and accept it. Hopefully, that will be followed by a news conference announcing that hire and the firing of Cameron. I'm not usually one to call for the coach's head, but there are few would deserve being let go more than Cam after this year. It was a complete disaster from the start. It wasn't all his fault because of the injuries, but his handling of John Beck alone makes me want him gone. Plus the whole Keith Traylor thing will probably seal his fate. Remember: Jimmy Johnson went 1-15 his first year in Dallas, and look where it got him: three Super Bowl victories in four years.

Bowl Challenge Standings (as of 1/5)
Sorry I've been enjoying my time off from work to be with my family and also out of the state. You'll probably get one tonight. Lucky SOB. Then again, I've been in DC and Times Square the previous two New Years, so why am I complaining?
