Two games is a good time. Three games is as full as you can make the day. Four games is an example of bad judgement closely related to the consumption of controlled beverages. We bowled four games. Bad day all around, we managed only twelve strikes be

Dec 29 2006, 23:01 EST
Saddam Hussein was hanged by the neck until dead. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Or if you prefer William F Buckley put it a little more nicely in his AM piece today: But this is the point at which we are entitled to a measure of satisfaction
