Any Two-some Newsome
Its interesting to watch most of the main stream media treat Gavin Newsome as a "hero" because he breaks the law because of his so-called principles. Justifying his actions as noble and good, despite the fact that he is ignoring the laws of the state.
If the media feels its a good thing to honor those public servants who break the law for their personal beliefs, why not then the same media-hero status for Judge Roy Moore?
Or George Wallace?
Both men defied the law (or a higher court ruling), yet they are portrayed as evil-law breaking extremists.
Media bias strikes again.

UN Math, 2 + 2 = Fish
So the UN must of taken those "new math" classes in many public schools, where self esteem and not correct answers are important. Claudia Rosett points out the UN numbers on the oil for food program don't add up because everyone seems to have different numbers and no explanation for them.

Rugby Revelations
This past weekend I was having a conversation with a friend who knows the organizers for the past USA Sevens tournament and found out something quite interesting.
They ran out of beer, on the first day, at 1:30pm.
So a little background:
Home Depot Center is a 22,000 seat stadium, only 7,000 tickets were sold for the first day of the tournament.
The gates opened at 9:00, games started at 10:00 went until 7:30pm (when I got there at 9:30 and at most 3,000 people where there, it got up to 6-7,000 around noon).
So in summary, In 4.5 hours 7,000 rugby fans did what 22,000 soccer fans could not do in 2 hours.
IF there were the same amount of rugby fans as soccer fans, the beer would of lasted 1 and a half hours. Good thing there are lots of bathrooms.

World Court
Well Kangaroo Court is in session to determine that the Israeli Security Fence is illegal. Well I am just making a guess on what they will rule, but with the UN history of spite for Israel would you expect any less?
Maybe Israel should ship the latest blown up bus and body parts to the court house as a defense, but they won't. Mostly because they Israelis respect the bodies of the dead and will give all of the body parts a proper burial, because deep down they are more humane and moral than the murderers, murderers who hide behind a joke of a court to justify their actions.
