I am at Wild Wing Cafe with Dave Watching the game. First corner kick...weak header by Dempsey... should have done the full volley.

Ghana scored.  I never liked Reyna.

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did the JItterbug know he could make that pass.

Penalty Kick. Disgusting.

I can't watch anymore.

Hey, this is depressing too: Apparantly Valet Parking, even at the Hospital (which is really the one place where they are needed) is unsafe:

The disturbing video shows the convicted stalker carefully hiding his video camera on a desk in the victim's bedroom. When he hears the woman and her boyfriend come in the apartment, he disappears under her bed. Carlo Castellanos-Feria remained there for two days until he was discovered by the victim's boyfriend. .......the victim told the judge that the discovery of the valet in her bedroom was in her words -- a horrible experience.

 

In lighter news. It just occured to me that I might be able to ask Chip and Pepper for a new pair of jeans, having mentioned them on T.V.  I just sent them an email.

Well, I sent two. One to chip@chipandpepper.com one to pepper@chipandpepper.com. 

Here is Lileks, on ABC's request that we all send in evidence of Global Warming:

I am not susceptible to disaster scenarios. I do not believe we have ten years to prevent the inevitable collapse of civilization. As long as I can remember I have been fed end-times scenarios – death by ice, death by fire, death by famine, death by smothering from heaps of clambering humans scrabbling for purchase on an overpopulated world, death by full-scale nuclear exchange, death by unstoppable global AIDS, death by a two-degree rise in temperatures, death by radon, death by alar, death by inadvertent Audi acceleration, death by juju. Doesn’t mean we won’t die of juju. But somehow we survive. The only thing I take away is a vague wistful wonder what it would be like to live in an era when things were generally so bad that the futurists spent their time assuring us it would be better. Say what you will about the past, but at least they had a future. All I’ve ever had, according to the experts, is a grim narrow window of heedless ignorance bliss followed by a dystopian irradiated world characterized by scarcity, mutation, and quite possibly intelligent chimps. You have no future. Oh, and don’t smoke!

Moving on to the next item, which is quite near the end I might add, Monks make Raisin Bread.

Ok, wait, you have to hear this. Its a guy, with heroic patience, trying to cancle his AOL account.

Update: Neither email address worked.  Any ideas?
