Random Thought 7/2/08

• Snopes.com reports on gruesome golf fatalities. Perhaps that's why I don't play golf.
• Brett Favre has an "itch" to play another year. For Pete's sake, please just retire already. Or don't. But stop going back and forth!
  
• The surge in Iraq has been an undeniable and resounding success. It's truly an historic moment. But that's not what everyone was predicting a year ago. Do you remember who the naysayers were?
• Speaking of historic moments, I read the other day that 25-40% of the news in 2007 was about Iraq. Now that violence is down and the Iraqis are taking charge of their own country, only about 3-4% of the news in 2008 is about Iraq. Nobody seems to know that we've done something incredible in the Middle East. I guess it doesn't fit the "America is bad" template.
• If you're one of the Fantasy Football owners in my league, the WFFL, and you haven't been talked to yet, please call me. We need to establish who's playing this year and there's a waiting list of folks wanting in. The Draft is August 25.
