Ok, I found what the nutties in 'Bama are claiming is their reason for suing - removing the monument would amount to a government endorsement of "a religion of non-theistic beliefs". Uh, yeah, because Hinduism is so non-theistic and doesn't do the whole Ten Commandments thing. Right.

I confess, I'd just about given up on the Red Sox. They'd lost 7 out of 9 against the Oakland As and Seattle Mariners, the Yankees had gotten yet further ahead...they looked cooked. But now they've torn off a nice little five game winning streak, including their first four game sweep of the Mariners at Fenway since '91. They're now (pending tonight's Yankees and Oakland games) 4 1/2 behind the Yankees for the division, half a game ahead of the As for the wild card, and tied with the Mariners for the wild card (Seattle and Oakland are fighting for the West division title). They've got a real chance after all. Fun bit - if the Mariners, Sox, and As all end the season with the same record, the Sox automatically get the wild card spot while the As and Mariners have a one-game playoff for the West. Since whomever loses that game will have a worse record than the Sox, there's no need for another game to determine the wild card. Seems nuts, but hey.

So some Christian talk show host is planning on suing to keep that commandments monument in the courthouse down in Iranabama. What in the blue hells are the grounds he's suing on? Not getting what he wants?

Hey! Rockin'! I go to post a little tidbit and discover that the Radio WYSIWYG editor is suddenly working in Netscape 7.1.
