The Cavaliers kept on proving me wrong. They are now 12-3, riding on a 8-game winning streak after posting two important road wins at Wake Forest and at Georgia Tech. They also handed Georgia Tech its lowest offensive output in Division I history.
Up next is No. 1 Duke Blue Devils in Charlottesville. Payback is a bitch, Barry Uhrman.
Reading Debbie's comments in the The Daily Progress brought me the goosebumps but a chilly warning to the damned Duke loyalists as she said:
"It is a great opportunity for us on Friday night, I hope we get a lot of fans out there on Friday night. We need the entire Cavalier Nation to fill University Hall for us, because we are going to get them this time."

A Message to Pope John Paul II
Pope John Paul II, you are in no position to decide about the gay rights. You are supposed to be celibate. And the worst part is that you are supposed to be dead a while ago. So drop dead already.

Armstrong Williams and Bush
Where art thou, Bush? Why are you hiding behind this growing scandal?
Armstrong Williams, the conservative columnist who was fired after the press learned that he accepted $240,000 from the Bush Administration to promote the "No Child Left Behind" program that Bush supported which, in reality, is disaster in the making for the Americans.
There is a law that does not allow the White House to do the propaganda on subjects like NCLB program, but that does not stop and Bush from breaking the law.
Not only that, it was also revealed that Armstrong Williams, himself an African American, criticized the former President of NAACP for sexual harrassments. Well, well, you know the rules -- when you pointed your finger at someone else, there are three fingers pointing back at you! It turned out that Armstrong himself settled his own sexual harassment lawsuit right before he attacked on the NAACP!
To amuse myself even more with the plight of the conservative columnist Armstrong Williams, Armstrong was a conservative who supported the conservative senator Trent Lott who said that homosexuals should be treated like those who have a problem with "alcohol ... or sex addiction ... or kleptomaniacs." In other words, Armstrong was pretty much anti-gay.
Wanna know about his sexual harassment settlement? He sexually harassed a male trainer. That does not mean anything else, really? Well, there are two other male persons who also claimed that the conservative Armstrong Williams also harassed them. That makes three men that accused Armstrong Williams.
I told you so. Conservatives are often hypocrites, they often think of themselves -- greed. Anything to pull people's lives down in order to be part of the status quo. The invisible status quo that we knew are there but they always denied it from day one.
Now on other hand, what does it has to do with Bush except that his office paid $240,000 to Armstrong Williams to promote the NCLB? Well, there is. Who benefits directly from the No Child Left Behind program? GW Bush's brother, Neil Bush. He founded a software company that helps students to prepare for the comprehensive tests required under the NCLB program.
See? Corruption reigns.
Remember the Clinton Era where the Republicans were harsh on Bill Clinton with Whitewater Scandal that amounted to nothing. Making a mountain out of hill has been the Republicans' theme during Clinton Era. Now with the conflict of interest and propaganda issues within the White House, where is the call for impeachment?
UPDATE: White House claimed that Armstrong Williams was an "isolated incident", reported by FOXNews. Actually, who really believes in FOXNews? They were busted several times for altering the information at times. Sorry I do not believe anything that comes out of White House and FOXNews. As always, McCock is an idiot. Why does he bothers to read a liberal blog?

Few Interesting Tidbits about Deaflympics
FAVORITISM IN TEAM HANDBALL? Is it only me but I noticed the pattern of selective players from the same cycle of friends. If you look at the current roster, its Rome roster and its Copenhagen roster and observed who's who -- you'll notice that the majority (perhaps 80%) of the players hung out with each other on a daily basis.
RUSSIAN DISQUALIFIED! One Russian wrestler was disqualified after he was discovered to be hearing. What the fuck?
USA MEN'S BASKETBALL: USA 77, Lithuania 72. USA 102, Ukraine 74.
That's it for the day, folks!

One Interesting Tidbit
As some of you already knew that I read stuff on the subway train everyday to kill the time while I get to work or home. I am almost done with "Only in New York" Q&A Book about New York's Oddest Mysteries.
There is one Q&A that I thought is interesting for everyone else.
Q. A doctor once identified an affliction he called "Newyorkitis." What was it?
A. Dr. John H. Girdner listed the telltale symptons: "haste, rudeness, restlessness, arrogance, contemptuousness, excitability, anxiety, pursuit of novelty and of grandeur, pretensions of omniscience, and therefore prescience, which of course undermines any pleasure taken in novelty." His book, Newyorkitis, was published in New York in 1901. Girdner studied medicine at New York University. He was a close friend of William Jennings Bryan and President Grover Cleveland, according to his first cousin, James Madison Girdner, who set down a family history in 1911. The cousin wrote that John Girdner was "a profilic writer on medical and social subjects," and more important, the author of a "tongue-in-cheek book, 'Newyorkitis', satirizing the provincialism of life in New York."
Girdner was not the first to note the debilitating effects of city living. In 1869, a New York neurologist, Dr. George M. Beard, described a psychological condition he called "neuraesthenia," which resulted in fatigue, anxiety, lassitude, irritability, hypochondria, "brain collapse" and other forms of "elementary insanity."
In 1881, he published American Nervousness, Its Causes and Consequences and named the five elements of modern culture that were enfeebling the country's urban elite: "steam power; the periodical press, the telegraph, the sciences and the mental activity of women." Beard wrote: "When civilization, plus these five factors, invades any nation, it must carry nervousness and nervous diseases with it."
Ain't this very interesting? I think I have it.

A Politically Incorrect Joke
Did you hear about the Polish Terrorists? They raided the Special Olympics!
That was funny one, thanks to a certain friend of mine. Not sure if he wanted to be mentioned by that.

An Update About VSDB
A nice editorial by Staunton News-Leader, a local newspaper in Staunton, Virginia -- in the central part of Shenandoah Valley in the western part of Virginia where I grew up. It is about my alma mater, VSDB.
