In best announcer voice "And nw Dale Jarret makes his 400th left turn, the crowd goes wild, and here is the 401st left turn, and he is getting ready for the 402nd left turn, wow, now he is going into the 403rd left turn..."
How anyone can get riled up watch cars turn left is beyond me. Yeah they may be going faster than 180mph, but I have done that on regular roads and it is not really very impressive. And before you go dissing soccer keep in mind more people follow that sport than any other. Tennis can be boring, but there are alot of hot eastern bloc chicks playing, so unless you are a homo you should be able to enjoy some of it (quit looking at agassis' butt dude)

The monster is dead. Great, now lets all move on with our lives and hope that things will get better where terrorizm is concerned. I am proud to be an American, and I wish that everyone would simply represent thier country with respect and dignity. All any of it reminded me of was that scene from the Wizard of Oz when everyone began singing the wicked witch is dead. Pretty silly don't you think?

I was not impacted much by the world trade center diasaster, but I understand that alot of people were. And if they want to celebrate OBL death then I am 100% behind them. Poor taste, really? Have you been to america recently, we are the originators of poor taste!!! Just trun on the tv, every other show is some sort of reality debacle that runs on poor taste and stupidity. Ignorance is the fuel that fires this country, sad to say. Plus i could care less what the french (or anyone else) thinks about the US. If it was not for the US they would be speaking German.
