Hey look! All the posts from yesterday have appeared, and things seem to be working normally. Anyway, as I was trying to say yesterday, things have been happening over the last couple of weeks, while I was stomping through the woods of southern Ontario. Vijay Singh made an ass of himself (I was going to make that a Lame Moment in Sports, our second, but it's kind of old news now). Ari Fleischer, Bush's chief liar, finally choked on his own bile and quit. So did Christine Todd Whitman, Bush's chief environment-raper. Now, on the surface, this would seem like good news, but we all know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that those two are going to be replaced by worse. And, on the subject of American politics, it seems likely that a couple of their Supreme Court Justices may be retiring, and if the prospect of Bush and his fellow travellers getting the right to replace them doesn't fill you with terror, then you haven't been paying attention. Happily, the Texas Dems seem to have found a way to foil the worst excesses of the Republican regime, and, even more happily, Molly Ivins has written an excellent column about it.

Sporting-wise, Arsenal won the FA Cup, and Spurs cut loose Teddy Sheringham, leading to speculation that the boy might be returning to his South-East London roots. The Senators have pushed the Devils to game 7, and the Minnesota Wild actually scored a goal in their series against Anaheim before heading home for the summer. The Blue Jays seem to have an offense. Canada seems to have a professional baseball league (more on this later).

I'm sure other things happened too, but that's all I can think of for now...
