A break from the WBC.

6:01 a.m. Obama says buy things, isn’t this what president Bush said and was beaten up for.

6:02 a.m. “Rush Hour” continues. It must make for good ratings.

6:13 a.m. No other ideas out there? You mean no other ideas that are publicized.

6:20 a.m. The Rock thing was very funny.

6:39 a.m. They compare what Obama is doing domestically to what President Bush did during 9/11. This is not without merit.

7:02 a.m. Let em fail says Shelby. I think he is right.

7:14 a.m. Clip of News, Joe mentions the push poll.

7:16 a.m. I know I’m small on this today, checking out the Japan/Korea Game on ESPN.

7:30 a.m. I’m not giving up my salad shooter either. I used to work in a plastic plant that made them.

7:42 a.m. Jack Welch is cool, but not as cool as a 6-2-5 double play with runners on 2nd & 3rd with nobody out. What a play by Japan!

7:46 a.m. “There is no critical thinking on Barak Obama.” Jack Welch says out loud what everyone knows but is unwilling to say; if you criticize Barak you are a pariah; Mika is horrified.

8:22 a.m. We can’t send it troops to Dafur, we have to work with other countries to do what they haven’t been doing already. This is apparently will allow us to feel good about ourselves without actually risking anything. That is liberalism in a nutshell.

8:38 a.m Jack Welch stayed on. One of the great things about being in his position is he is strong enough not to worry about what other people think of him.

8:42 a.m. Was it the right thing to save one and not the other. The author thinks a firm needed to fail.

8:49 a.m. Cortney doesn’t want to get into Barnicle’s pay per view habits.

8:51 a.m. Cortney must not know many comic book people. Those guys are going to go again and again to the picture.

UPDATE: Finkelblog spots Welch’s quote.

Australia makes me eat crow.

Last week I posted the following:

It will take a real miracle for Cuba or Mexico to fail to get to the 2nd round sharing a bracket with South Africa and Australia. Australia would like to think otherwise but sorry that’s the way it is.

Looks like nobody told Australia as they had to invoke the Mercy rule as they crushed Mexico 17-7 after being down 7-3 after 4.

Tim Blair didn’t post on it, a shame as its a huge win.

I was about as wrong as I could be, even more wrong then my prediction that Panama would beat Puerto Rico. Not only did they not win but than managed to go scoreless for the entire tourney!

On the Bright side Hugo’s boys were spanked by us. That was nice.
