Watched Fahrenheit 9/11 last Sunday. The sobbing of the woman sitting next to me certainly amplified the movie's impact on me. I left the theater in a daze. Anyone else seen it yet?

Whether you supported the war or not, it's heartening to see the Iraqi soccer team doing so well in the Olympics.

USA basketball team (AKA Scream Team) got drubbed by PUERTO RICO. It's becoming obvious that NBA's basketball and the international brand are very different games. It's possible to be a superstar in NBA and be a benchwarmer in int'l games, and vice versa.

Plus, beige Americans have pretty much given up on playing basketball seriously, seeing it as a black thing. So our team really represents a talent pool of about 36 million people. That's less than most Western European nations.
