Around the mall in 80 minutes
Quick news and notes for today.
It's hot. Over 32 degrees Celsius in North Bay. Nasty heat and humidity.
North Korea - Nothing to worry about for now. Once their missiles come close to Hawaii, look for the US to park a nearly decommissioned ship or sub in the waters near the island state. The missiles will land in the water, but not hit the ship. But the ship will blow up anyway. 200 sailor pictures will be on CNN and Fox and there will be public support for a war. It's happened before, and it'll happen again.
Zidane's Headbutt - nearly everyone is defending his actions. Not me. If I'm being paid what he's being paid, I'm deaf to every comment coming from the opposition. Tie Domi made the same mistake and I didn't defend him, either. At my job, if someone calls me a name, and they have, I have to basically suck it up. Out on the street, totally different matter. Zidane should have let it go until after the game, and then found the guy in the parking lot.
This month's cover of Cosmopolitan - man, Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas is ugly. She looks like a man in a dress. I'd rather spend two hours drooling over the latest in woodchippers at Home Depot, because frankly, a woodchipper is a hell of a lot more attractive to me. And I really have no use for a woodchipper, either. Still looks better.
TOO MUCH POWER - Saw the Northlander at the mall. They had a 4300 horsepower SD75i at the helm. That's way too much power for a passenger train.
The Middle East - Things are getting worse as days pass. Too many problems in Iraq. Too many potential problems in Iran. Now we have Israel bombing Lebanon over the kidnapping of two soldiers. I don't see it getting better. One of two things has to happen for this whole situation to improve:

- America has to get the hell out of the region. They've caused enough problems.
- Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Comments
1. You can let the anger sink in and then when you hit the guy, it's been cooking for a while and it'll explode a lot more.
2. Not too many cameras in the parking lot. No need to explain your actions if nobody's watching.
And you gotta admit, the guy dropped way too easily from that headbutt. In hockey, he'd be called a diver. They've got to do something about diving in soccer.
