Has Howard Dean's campaign ruined the Blog??
US election officials have as yet eschewed oversight of the internet, siding with activists who claim an unregulated web is an essential incubator for expanded political participation and free speech.
However, subsequent presidential election campaigns have illustrated how online political activity has become increasingly sophisticated, leading to calls that bloggers who receive outside financial support should be identified and subject to regulation.
Figures, When the government does not understand something they just regulate it. Hey, Government, RELAX!!

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Kenny Rogers' immediate future will be decided by Major League Baseball, following the outburst by the Texas Rangers ace that sent a television cameraman to the hospital and prompted a police investigation.
Rogers shoved two cameramen before the Rangers' game against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday in a videotaped tirade that included throwing a camera to the ground, kicking it and threatening to break more.
Are players trying to ditch the traditional media?
According to Howard's Homepage :
A little while ago a asked a question about Sen. Obama's luster
So that's what Lincoln's for. Actually Lincoln's life is a lot like Mr. Obama's. Lincoln came from a lean-to in the backwoods. His mother died when he was 9. The Lincolns had no money, no standing. Lincoln educated himself, reading law on his own, working as a field hand, a store clerk and a raft hand on the Mississippi. He also split some rails. He entered politics, knew more defeat than victory, and went on to lead the nation through its greatest trauma, the Civil War, and past its greatest sin, slavery.
Barack Obama, the son of two University of Hawaii students, went to Columbia and Harvard Law after attending a private academy that taught the children of the Hawaiian royal family. He made his name in politics as an aggressive Chicago vote hustler in Bill Clinton's first campaign for the presidency.
You see the similarities.
There is nothing wrong with Barack Obama's résumé, but it is a log-cabin-free zone. So far it also is a greatness-free zone. If he keeps talking about himself like this it always will be

Some news from the world of Mtv:
Donovan Slack of the Boston Globe reported this Gem:
At a meeting of American business executives and Putin on Saturday in Russia, according to Russian news reports, Kraft showed his 4.94-carat, diamond-encrusted 2005 Super Bowl ring to the Russian president, who, after trying it on, put it in his pocket and left.
Interesting, the Russians have not changed a bit. Putin will probably go home and copy it and pass it off as an original (B-25?)Will Smith is calling out Rappers and Memembers of the Hip Hop Community:

Since I was about 5 years old I have been swimming competitively. I started on a year round club team and now swim in college. I always wonder if people feel that swimming is an important thing to learn?

Cnet News. com staff writer Ina Friend revealed some monster info:
We seriously need rain. I know some lifeguards that would disagree with me but things are getting pretty scarry. One of my many sources informed me that up until last night, it had been something like 22 days without rain.

If you are a fan of Baseball and a Fan of Blogs, Here is Tommy Lasorda's offical Blog. There are some real interesting stories from one of the games all time greats.
The Interleague Schedual is finally over with. Thank you Jesus. After taking 2-3 from the Red Sox, Getting Swept by the Yankees, and losing 2-3 at the hands of the Blue Jays, The Cubbies were able to salvage the White Sox Tournament by spliting the 6 games. The White Sox are a good team and since there is NO CUBS & SOX RIVALRY i would like to wish the 50 game winners good luck on the rest of their season, hopefully we'll be able to play 7 more in October.
Recently I went to a Cingular Wireless story to look at the new phones. For some reason nowadays everything is becoming one big ordeal. All i wanted was to look at the phones and maybe purchase the new razor. But then i was informed that although my contract stated that i was entitled to new phone every year at the discounted rates, I would have to switch plans because the contract that we signed was with AT&T not Cingular. Furthurmore I would have to break my contract, pay the early termination fee, then pay more setup fees. So in the end the new phone would cost something like $600 with fees.
