2. don't call for the assassination of venezuela's president on a Christian TV program

in case you haven't heard about this, televangelist Pat Robertson remarked on The 700 Club the other night that the United States should assassinate Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. He said the government has tried to do it before anyway, so they should just follow through with it and kill Chavez. Robertson's nothing if not brave (or incredibly dumb, one of the two) for what he said. It's true that Chavez and Fidel Castro are good friends, and that we get a lot of oil from Venezuela (we actually get more from them than we get from the Middle East). But still, to publicly say, on a popular Christian show nonetheless, that the president of Venezuela should be offed is a pretty brave thing to do. The United States banned assassinations of foreign leaders in the late 1970s, by the way, because we kept shooting and missing.

Random thoughts...

Speaking of Venezuela, have tests been done on that arm that washed ashore there?

Why can't Lawrence Phillips (former St. Louis Rams player) keep himself out of trouble?

How the hell does a car jump a curve at a racetrack and end up in the stands, killing two people?

The Cardinals are going to the World Series. I'm convinced of it. They look good. I think they can make it even with out Grudzielanek and Rolen, both of who are injured.

The president of Turkmenistan banned lip synching today, saying it hurts new development of the country's culture. Hmm, maybe we should ban American Idol for the same reason.

Eli Manning is injured. Hurt his elbow. Poor Eli. I'm being sarcastic, I don't really feel sorry for him, because I think his daddy bought him that first round draft pick. That's just me, though.

That's all from here.
