What's been in the news lately...

Since i last posted, Barry Bonds is now at 749 Homeruns. I can't believe we are having the debate if he should be in the All-Star Game. There is no discussion. He should be in and I urge all the fans to vote him in. The greatest baseball player of all time should be in the All-Star Game, especially when it might be his last, if he retires next year.

Paris Hilton went to jail, although i'm still not sure why. I don't think she should have gone, but I really don't care. Bob Barker retired from the Price is Right. That was a sad day, as a true American Icon is now finished. The Price is Right will never be the same, but thankfully, it looks like Drew Carey is in line to get the gig, and not that loudmouth Rosie O'Donnell.

Rogue Duke prosecutor, Mike Nifong was disbarred and immediately removed as District Attorney in Durham after his reckless and unethical handling of the Duke lacrosse Non-Rape case. Only, at the end, did Nifong apologize to the 3 Duke players who had their lives ruined for 390+ days by Nifong, Duke University, the Media, and the people of Durham and Raleigh. I am glad that the University had to pay some Money to the boys and their families. Now, if we could hold the "Duke 88" accountable for their actions, then it would be progress. I thank William Anderson, a columnist on LewRockwell.com, for keeping the heat on Nifong, the Attorney General of NC and for being the first person to right about the real facts of the case and to proclaim the innocence of the players. We owe him a debt of gratitude.

Finally, the Amnesty Bill was defeated today, which i will talk about in an upcoming post.
