After completing the pool play on Friday with a 3-1 record after beating Mississippi, Florida and Eastern North Carolina with a lone loss to Louisiana. They were seeded No. 2 in the tournament.
1. Alabama
2. Virginia
3. North Carolina
4. Louisiana
5. Tennessee
6. Florida
7. Mississippi
8. Georgia
9. Eastern North Carolina
10. South Carolina
So Virginia opened in the tournament with a rematch of Mississippi and won 2-1 (26-24, 22-25 & 25-21). The Cardinals then trashed North Carolina 2-0 (25-16 & 25-22) to earn the rematch with Louisiana who upsets No. 1 Alabama today. Hopefully, the Cardinals will be able to avenge the lone loss to Louisiana during the pool play to advance to the Championship game. Either way, if they lose to Louisiana, they are not still out of reach with the Championship. Check the bracket at Mason-Dixon to get the idea.
So far, Virginia is 11-5 for the season with few games left.
Go Cardinals!

Few Jabs
During the lunch break, I read NY Press with an interest regarding the America's worst campaign journalists -- among the list is none other than Jason Lamberton's favorite girl, Ann Coulter.
About the hurricanes, we have to accept the fact that hurricanes are becoming frequent -- hello, we had four hurricanes in six weeks hitting Florida -- how often is that? Why is it happening? It is because the ocean temperatures has been rising. Even with few degrees, the sea can dictate the climatic changes. And its impact will be so severe and profound. It shall produce a lot of disastrous results for millions of people, economy and crops. This article by Alexander Zaitchik is the exact thing that I had been trying to explain about the need to eject that fool out of White House.
So Jason, Moveon.org made a sensible argument that GW Bush is responsible for his inactions regarding the environmental issues. GW Bush always used "sound science" to support the industries with fraudulent data and questionable researches.
Tony Blair is campaigning to make global warming an issue with European Union because he knew that if the climatic changes do occur in near future, Great Britain will be threatened.

Sports Talk III & Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif)
Virginia Cavaliers routed Clemson, 30-10 to alleviate my worries. They are off to a best start since '91, I believe at 5-0, 2-0 in the ACC. They also continued to make gains in offense and limited the opponents' points -- 212-58 for the season. Up next is ... gonna be tough one. Off to Tallahassee, Florida to play Free Shoes University and that prick, Chris Rix! I am predicting a loss for Virginia but am hoping for an upset in Tallahassee.
As for Virginia Cardinals in Talladega, Alabama -- they are currently 1-1 in the Pool Play, losing to Louisiana War Eagles 2-1 this morning at 9 AM, then crushed Eastern North Carolina 2-0 at 11 AM. They are slated to play Mississippi and Florida later in the day. After that, the tournament will be based on the records of pool plays. Hope Virginia gets to do well in the next two games.
Go Cardinals!
Now with another assault on that Republican fag in the closet, Rep. David Dreier. Mike Rogers reported that David travelled to 25 countries in the past few years. They are Italy, Russia, Spain, Nepal, Greece, Senegal, Brazil, Nicaragua, Mali, Tunisia, Malta, Cyprus, Iceland, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Estonia, Georgia, New Zealand, Australia, Micronesia, Argentina, Chile and the Dominican Republic.
So what, you say? They also managed to find time to visit Italy, Brazil and Nicaragua twice in the last three years!
To work in the public service is one thing, to hire his boyfriend as Chief of Staff with the salary base of $156,100 per year is another thing. To travel to these countries, using the public funds as their pay are simply outrageous. The Republicans consistently denied us the chances to raise the minimum pay wages but lavished on each other, using the government's money.
Somebody has to do something about Dreier and Brad Smith.

No More Republican
This is interesting, though.
I saw him twice or thrice in DuPont Circle when I lived in the District. I always wanted to give him the dirty looks, just because he's the fag Republican. But I never did get around to do that, though. I will admit that he did very good job with the DC City Council.
So it was very surprising to see him disassociating himself from the GOP party.
I guess, being an independent is better than Republican, since the GOPers frequently screwed the Americans in almost everything from the minimum pay wages to Iraq. It is certainly nice to see David Catania coming to his senses. Too bad, not many people are like him.

What Else Is New With Abercrappie & Bitch?
Once upon a time at 30 Degrees, a bar in DuPont Circle, I met Mark for few drinks. It was a time to catch up with our typical gossips, swiping at feeble-minded people around us as usual. Mark is aware that I cringed at the sight of gay men wearing Abecrappie & Bitch clothes. Mainly because it discriminates against the bigger men and it lingers on vanity which turned me off. Today, I can wear these shirts from A&F, but I chose not to.
However, at that bar with Mark, we were chatting when a good-looking guy in his late 40s-trying-to-act-like-early 20s interrupted us to tell Mark that he finds him attractive. Of course, I was irked by that -- Mark and I came to the bar to talk, not to be interrupted by fags like him. I rolled my eyes gently and Mark snickered. He knew what I was thinking about.
This guy kept on making an effort to communicate with Mark while I stared at his chest with contempt. He asked me if I liked it, I chuckled and said, "Ugh. It should be bombed."
He said, "This is my first A&F shirt, it was on sale for $18! Not bad?" I shot back, "I can find 10 t-shirts for that price. And?"
He turned to Mark, "He hates me?"
Mark said, "Yes and no."
We laughed. That was 2 years ago in Washington, DC.
Today, you can see another stupid design by the Abercrappie & Bitch company. Wonder if Paul & Morgan Hamm will wear it?
Ugh.

Stuff To Ponder
Last night at The Equinox, I asked Benis a question, "Who is your favorite Disney character?"
Benis grinned, "Maleficent."
I smiled, "That is cool, mine is Ursula the Sea Witch."
We laughed and thought it was interesting that our favorite Disney character are villains. I always loved the way Ursula laughed, smiled and her arrogant reactions. When Ariel failed to get a kiss from the Prince before the sun sets down, she was reverted to a mermaid once again. Ursula screamed, "Yes!" Then she raised her hands in the sky as the thunders and lightning rumbled around her as she was transformed into a huge octopus body and quickly crawled to Ariel across the terrified gawkers. Once she grabbed Ariel like a rag doll, Ursula quickly turned her head to the Prince, "So long, lover boy!"
Then she just dived in the sea, took Ariel with her back in the sea. That was ruthless but I loved it. She rocks! What's yours?
Now on another subject, I was thinking about what Elisa said earlier about the prom thing. I personally do not like the idea of proms. If Elisa still cherished her silly moments with the proms, more power to her. But I personally think it is waste of my time, energy and bullshit to put up with fake looks from different persons.
Like Jake once said to me before that he observed one person standing few feet away. That person saw the other person standing few feet away, then quickly confided to his girlfriend that the "bastard" is here! His girlfriend saw him and goes, "ugh!" Then few minutes later, the "bastard" did the same thing to that person with his friend. About 10 minutes later, the bastard and that person stumbled on each other and said, "How are you? I did not see you here!" All that fakey boo hoos are silly.
When I was a junior in high school, I wanted to be with Todd, a hearing boyfriend of mine -- but it was "bad" to do that back then. I was pressured to take some broad to the prom -- it was very awkward and weird feeling. I had to do this because it is the "right" way, it is the American way (not entirely true!), it is memorable (My ass!) and all that bullshit. I stayed for an hour and half before slipping out to meet Todd in a car and went away for the weekend.
Suffice to say, my weekend with Todd was memorable than the ones I spent at the prom. The prom is always overated. It is silly high school thing. Certainly not a tradition to be proud of. Not for me, but if it does for you, yay. Should I do the cheerleading fer ya? Fuck, no!
Basically, what I am trying to say is that ... stop conform to the society's ideals because they said so. Just follow your heart and be happy, regardless of what one thinks about you. Maybe I should take Todd to the prom, but again that is irrelevant, though. The prom remained to be the most overated thing out of high school. My lovemaking with Todd wasn't overated, though.
Carter, Hilton, Rex, Culkin and Brunner? Such a drama!

Visulite Theater Is Sold & That BoiFromTroy
It is certainly nice to know that a movie theater in downtown Staunton was sold to a screenwriter from New York. When I was a kid at VSD, I occasionally went to Dixie Theaters and Visulite Theater to watch many films. Visulite Theater was the first movie that I watched with 3-D. Nice to know that the downtown is looking much better. Last time I visited, I was bit stunned with how good it looked.
Way to go, Staunton!
I have to do something about BoiFromTroy -- that guy is gay Republican. Not only that, he's a die-hard fan of Southern Cal. It is double whammy. Southern Cal is overrated, filled with meaningless pretty bois. Gay Republicans are blind as shit. But this one is very charming. I enjoyed reading his blog -- I had to insert him into Hearies category. It goes against my rules but again, the rules are meant to be broken, though.
The chances of me meeting him is slim, which I do not care much ... but it's been fun reading his entries from time to time.
