The USA is bidding for the 2018 or 2020 World cup !
http://www.gousabid.com/( they got Clinton to go along by showing him a video of Mia Hamm ripping off her jersey )
They are quite optimistic that if they start giving away tickets now they can fill a stadium by 2020 !
( of course biggest competition in US in that time slot will be baseball ( zzzzz ) so as long as Fox doesn't reschedule Idol or the NFL start broadcasting summer practice they should be fine ... )
In a related story, Brazil has announced its bid to host the Superbowl ....
maybe i'm not getting enough fiber ....

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
