“ If some copycat terrorists try to bring their liquid bomb through airport security and the screeners catch them (3 oz limit) the terrorists can simply try again. They can try again and again. They can keep trying until they succeed. Because there are no consequences to trying and failing, the screeners have to be 100 percent effective. Even if they slip up one in a hundred times, the plot can succeed.

The most senior judge in Saudi Arabia has said it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV channels which broadcast immoral programmes.

This is just sad. Taking Muslim extremism to the limit.

Bill: Why are we doing this again?

Jerry: Why bill? Because as we discussed, you and i are a little out of it. You’re living in some kinda moon house hovering over Seattle like the mothership. I’ve got so many cars I get stuck in my own traffic. We need to connect with real people.

“ I think at this point we need to confront the fact that we don’t know yet which is more uncomfortable: watching Sarah Palin try to demonstrate her qualifications to be president or watching John McCain try to describe them.

It’ll cost mucho dinero for Chad Ocho Cinco to switch jerseys

Mr. Johnson would be forced to buy out the stock of the 100,000 remaining “C. Johnson” jerseys before making the switch to “Ocho Cinco”. If Reebok asked Ocho Cinco to pay for the cost of making the unsold jerseys, the total could reach upwards of $4 million (or $50 million pesos).

“ If there is a bigger prize to be had in your particular sport - be it the Ashes, a World Cup, or even the Champions Trophy - then you simply don’t belong at the Olympics. Even the women’s beach volleyball, which somehow managed to transform itself from soft porn to an Orwellian style war minus the shooting when Russia and Georgia went head to head in the preliminary rounds, has more of a claim to the Games than cricket, for the simple fact that it is the sport’s athletic apex.

Cricinfo - Why cricket isn't an Olympic sport

This is a must read for any cricket fan.

Too Many Chris's

Football has too many Chris’s and most of those RB - it gets bloody confusing.

All of these guys are pretty much backups. Then there are the Steve Smiths Wide Receivers in NYG and Carolina. Tracking them in Fantasy Football confusing, bloody confusing.

“ Till now Mendis was never under any pressure and was bowling at his best,” Dhoni said. “You need to punish him if he bowls a bad ball. If you continue to defend him, he will always be on top.

Somewhere a lightbulb turned on over a cricketer’s head. That’s how you handle Mendis, that’s how you handle any good bowler. Wait for the bad ball and pownce like a tiger.
