“Why are the Koreans rooting for Germany in the World Cup? Because they hate us, of course!” …At least, so argues the Indepundit… My take? Who cares? It’s freakin’ soccer. Speaking of Koreans, though — did I ever tell you guys about my final minor league game, for Modesto in 1993? We beat Albuquerque 8-2, and I had a pair of doubles and a homerun — the homerun and one

“Saudi Arabia announced its first al Qaeda-related arrests since September 11 yesterday, saying it was holding 11 Saudis, an Iraqi and a Sudanese man who told authorities that he had fired a surface-to-air missile at a U.S. military plane taking off from a Saudi air base,” The Washington Times reports.
