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!

    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.

    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.
