Odds and Ends



Right before the World Cup Finals, I wanted to give a shout out to the Collina the Italian ref who also doubles as a creepy Mr. Clean. The two World Cup semi-final matches were well called by the refs in question. Let's face it- some teams dive. Just because a player falls to the ground does not make it a foul. The ref must ignore it and allow the players on the field to determine the outcome of the match. Cheers to the refs and my hope is that Italy v. France is equally well called.

After debating topics such flag burning, cutting and running in Iraq, gay marriage and not passing a budget, several members of Congress have jumped into the fight that has prevented those of us who live 15 minutes from the stadium to watch Nationals Games.

We shall if the FCC acts on this request from Congress. But hey, what do I care, I have a dish!!!!

And the Italians win 2-1 and the Germans win 3-1. Viva the World Cup.
