Apropos of nothing, really –

— but today’s local paper doesn’t mention the vote by Democrats to scuttle the John Doe provision from the homeland security bill — at least, I didn’t see it. It does, however, feature a full front page story on David Beckham, and the hopes and dreams of MLS soccer — as well as a news section spread on this year’s Emmy nominations.

Kyra Sedgwick, nominated for best actress for “The Closer”; David Beckham considered a “hottie” by some fawning tramp hanging over a security barrier, her bra straps strategically exposed, her face flush.

Okay then. September 10 it is. Bring on the end of history!

    I tell you one thing, if ESPN keeps trying to force feed me soccer over baseball for the next few weeks, then the terrorists have already won.

    Saw this over at the Corner:

    The Gitmo Votes [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

    A reader connects the dots:

    So let’s see…they voted to close Guantanamo, which also meant that they could not be detained outside the continental U.S., but they ALSO voted that they should not be transferred to facilities inside the continental U.S.

    The only logical conclusion I can draw from those votes, taken together, is that they support RELEASING the detainees altogether.

    The readers’ conclusion is faulty – the other option is to chum the bay, set up the catapult and START FLINGIN’ BABY!

    Release the detainees? Not the Dems.

    As if we needed a newspaper story to tell us that David Beckham was a hottie.

    I’ll be in my bunk.

    Who is this David Beckham you speak of, and what is this game called soccer you are talking about?

    Donut – great link.

    As the immortal Jim Rome once said, “Soccer is nothing other than an excuse to riot.”

    I do NOT need soccer as an excuse to riot.
