Who Cares? News You Might Have Missed

God Is Sued

It has been reported that State Senator Ernie Chambers (D - Nebraska) has decided to go straight to the top and sue God.

Chambers says that this is an effort to stop natural disasters from befalling the world.

The suit asks for a "permanent injunction ordering the Defendant (God) to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats."

Chambers also cites that the, "Defendant directly and proximately has caused inter alia (what is this?), fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornados, pestilential plagues..."

You have to admire his use of alliteration, but this guy is a goofball.

Judgement Day could be a real thrill for him, but on the other hand God may not be able to stop laughing.

Bonds' Ball Up For Vote

Turning to the world of professional baseball, this is for Caleb, Travis and other baseball followers.

Marc Ecko, the designer of the Ecko clothing line you can leisurely shop at T. J. Maxx, has purchased the record-breaking home run ball for a figure that is just south of $1 million.

Ecko is offering to let fans choose on Vote756.com one of the following three options:
  • Donate it as is to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N. Y.
  • Brand it with an asterick and donate it to the Hall of Fame.
  • Put it on a rocket, and blast it into space.

I kind of lean to the latter. Choose wisely because you are making baseball history.

Who cares?

Tennessee Coaches File For Divorce

Staying on the sports theme, Bruce Pearl, Tennessee Men's Basketball Coach, has filed for divorce from his wife, Kim, citing irreconcilable differences.

This follows the announcement in early August by Pat Summitt, Tennessee Women's Basketball Coach, that she was filing for divorce from her long-time husband.

Is this a coincidence or does it have something to do with Pearl's topless apperance at a women's basketball game and Summitt going to a men's basketball game dressed in a cheerleader's outfit -- short skirt and all?

Looks to me like hormones are running high among Tennessee coaches. If football coach Phil Fulmer is not careful he is going to get a divorce from the Volunteers.

This is not a pretty sight in my mind, but again, who cares?

Sorry, long time, no comment. I want them to put it up for a vote. I have wavered about how I feel about Bonds--maybe he cheated (anecdotal evidence seems to suggest so), but maybe not (empirical evidence says it's entirely possible that his power surge has lots of other reasons). I want them to just donate it to the Hall of Fame. Let's let people decide how it is to be viewed (though I do think it'll be neat to go someday to Cooperstown and hear the curator explain how a rich man branded the ball with an asterisk).

And shame on Ecko for using this as a publicity stunt for his stuff. Ralph Lauren would never stoop to such shameless plugs.
