Oh No Barbaro...
It looks like he's still fighting for his life, but having some fun while doing it. His doctors give his chances of survival at 50/50, but he jogged back to his stall after his surgery & was checking out the female horses, which is good because they hope to breed him. It's too bad b/c I really thought that he could be a triple-crown winner. Read an article from the New York Times about Barbaro.
Congressman Bill Jefferson of Greater New Orleans got caught taking a bribe from a wealthy Virginia on tape. Pretty dumb, especially since he is apparently the 1st black Louisiana Congressman since Reconstruction.
NOAA is predicting an above-normal hurricane season, including 4-6 MAJOR hurricanes (Cat 3+), along w/all the other predictors, who I can't keep up w/. They will not make a prediction on when & where they will hit. There currently is a tropical disturbance in the Caribbean, but it's not expected to turn into anything.
Finally, I know I don't watch NBA, but does it seem that the NBA finals have been going on FOREVER? Be done w/it already! I think even if I was a fan, I'd be bored by now (it's probably the one pro sport I don't watch at all!).
