1. Congratulations to Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners for besting George Sisler's single season hits. Beating an 84-year-old record is quite an achievement. It was a nice touch that Sisler's daughter and family members were there. During the 70's a friend, cousin and I would play Sports Illustrated's All Time-All Star baseball game (used dice). When picking the players for our team we always fought for George Sisler. He was one of the best in the game. I wish it was still around. It was a great game!
2. As I said at the first post, I am a liberal, but I have to say that Bush dropped the ball on the debate. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there. His "um's" and "er's" really didn't do him well. I'm not saying that Kerry hit a home run; however, he held his own and looked a lot more polished than Bush. For the record, I will vote for Kerry, because I feel Bush is real trouble for our country if he is re-elected.
3. I lived in Las Vegas, NV when the 2000 Presidential election occurred. At that time, Bush came into Nevada and was asked about the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Storage facility. He said at the time that he would wait for the scientific evidence before making a decision whether to give the go ahead or not. My friends and I were aghast that Nevadans bought that line of feces from a male bovine. Sure enough, he arbitrarily gave the go ahead to make it a nuclear dump without waiting for the scientific results. Now I'm told that Nevada is a "swing state." What???? Bush jobs the state and the populace, endangering them without waiting for the final scientific results, and there is still enough forgiving that he might carry the state? Shame on Nevadans for even THINKING about voting for him after he lied about his decision-making!
