What I've Learned Today

This has absolutely nothing to do with baseball cards, let alone sports.

But, this is what I've learned today:

I have learned that I despise the term "Veep" in reference to the Vice Presidency

I have learned that we will either have a black male earn the Presidency or a white woman earn the Vice Presidency

I have learned that said Vice President candidate, Sarah Palin, is under investigation for getting her ex-brother-in-law fired from his occupation as a state trooper in Alaska. No, I'm not slamming her... I just want to hear the saucy details behind it!

I have learned that today is the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina striking New Orleans.

I have learned that most of the unidentified bodies of the Katrina victims were laid to rest today at a Katrina memorial. They were laid to rest at the same time that the first levee broke.

I have learned that Tropical Storm Gustav is projected to become a Category 3 or 4 hurricane by the time it makes landfall in the United States. Be safe and best of luck to those on the Gulf Coast.

I am off to Gainesville for the weekend for the Gators home opener against the Warriors of Hawaii. It's Tebow time, boys and girls.

That is all
