July 2006 Archives
Paul McCartney's long and winding road with Heather Mills is on the expressway to Overville. Sir Paul has filed for divorce from Heather in what is expected to be one of Britain's most expensive breakups. In the papers, Paul -- who never made Heather sign a prenup to protect his $1.5 BILLION fortune (duh!) -- is said to call his soon-to-be ex both "unreasonable" and "argumentative." Heather's mouthpiece, Phil Hall, issued his own statement saying that Heather is upset about the reports. “Heather's going to be filing her own counterclaims about matters both in this country and America. She does not feel the need to repudiate claims that she may be headstrong or feisty. She is hugely disappointed that matters of such a confidential nature should be aired in public and feels it is inappropriate to speak about such delicate matters when a child is involved." Way to bring baby Beatrice into this, Heather.

Cougar in photos hails from West
About 160 scoutmasters within the Derby-based Housatonic Council of the Boy Scouts of America recently received e-mail copies of photos of the mountain lion, which was apparently photographed five years ago outside someone's home in Wyoming. State Department of Environmental Protection officials and staff members of the Connecticut Audubon Society also received copies. "I'm not sure what the distribution net was, but it's way out there," said Dale May, director of the DEP's wildlife division. "I've had people from the DEP who called me who got it at home and they wanted to know if it's true." May said it's the third mountain-lion fraud in recent months. The last trick featured a photo of a hunter holding up a dead cougar in New York state, but it was actually snapped five years earlier in Washington state, May said.
For U, four goals and a win is a start
Gophers coach Don Lucia has coached for 21 seasons at Alaska Fairbanks, Colorado College and Minnesota. Never had one of his teams gone through a scoring slump as bad as this team has endured recently: 10 goals in the past eight games. It had to end sometime. And Friday it did, at least for one night. Minnesota, which had scored a conference-low 44 goals entering Friday, scored four goals, including two in the second period, to beat Wisconsin 4-2 at Mariucci Arena. The Gophers' last four-goal game was a 4-4 tie at St. Cloud State on Jan. 12. "You could tell who the desperate team was," Badgers coach Mike Eaves said. "We did not wake up until the third period." The Gophers were well-rested, too, after a week off during which they slipped two spots to ninth place in the WCHA.

NELLY'S TOTAL RULE OVER OTHER PEOPLE?
Nelly is supposedly restarting the T.R.O.O.P. clothing line. What's funny about that is TROOP been “back" but they didn't get any burn. They used to say TROOP was owned by the KKK and mean Total Rule Over Other People. He needs to bring back VoKal (that site ain't been updated in 3 full years)!

Before you take out a second mortgage or otherwise deplete your savings in order to pay for your child's college education, you might want to ask the colleges to which your child is applying some questions. 1. Can one obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree at your college without having read a single Shakespeare play, one Federalist Paper or one book of the Bible? If so, why attend such a college? 2. Does the college allow military recruiters on its campus? Before being threatened by Congress with a cutoff of federal funds, many colleges denied military recruiters access to their campus. They did so either because of their hostility to military in general or specific hostility to the war in Iraq, or because of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding gays.
