What a Week!
Bend it like What's-his-face

Bend it like What's-his-face
Los Angelians (all 3.8 million) were invited to meet David Beckham on Friday. Only 2,500 chose to take up the offer. Yep, Beckhamania (which CNN has been hyping like crazy) is in full force. Do Americans care? The story isn't even on the Sports Illustrated website landing page, so probably not.

Stop the insanity!
Korean War to finally end? the rumour is that the White House wants to start a peace process with North Korea. Maybe some good will come out of Bush's hand-wringing over his legacy.

Let's do the time warp again!
First Bush goes all "American empire" on everyone, then Putin tries to re-ignite the cold war, now the pope is trying to undo Vatican II. It doesn't matter if you don't remember the 70s, you're doomed to relive them anyway. But please, this time, no bellbottoms.

I've never tried this approach
A shy guy makes a Craigslist listing about how he would like to meet a girl but can't talk to her.

We're NASA, we don't need to spell.
It's all about getting the little things right, really, like how to spell the names of your space shuttles.

FUN FINAL NOTE

Holy Air Brush, Bettman!
