Woke up this morning and the lead news story started out with footage of rioters running from police swinging billy clubs. It wasn't until the newsmodel told me that it was Egypt that I realized it wasn't Portland.

Sidney Crosby is the only hope that the NHL has of anyone paying attention to hockey. With the NBA season totally scuttled, this year is the only hope they have of attracting viewers and advertisers. In the midst of this all-in situation Crosby returned to the ice last night and promptly scored two goals and two assists. If the NHL has any clue, they'll institute a " no checking Crosby" rule and immediately ban any player who makes contact with him on or off the ice.

While on the subject of oft-injured prodigies, Tiger Woods is back. The last 3 months the pundits have written Tiger off. They conventional wisdom is that he'll never return to his former self and that his run of majors is over. I suppose they've forgotten that he won the US Open with a busted leg, almost won the Master two weeks back, and finished 4th in this year's Masters while running dangerously low on Hooters waitresses. The President's Cup proved that he's back to 85%, which makes him 110% better than anyone else. This may not mean much to you, but with no NBA, and after Ovenchkin breaks Crosby's arm, they'll be no sports left to watch in the spring so you might was well brush up.

My daughter has become and evangelical christian. Not because she believes in God, but because she knows that
a. If she asks my wife to read a bible story to her at night, my wife is in capable of saying no so it extends bedtime by 20 minutes.
and
b. She's supposed to read 15 minutes each night for school. By listing The Bible on her sheet as the book she's reading, the teacher never blames her for anything that goes wrong in the class, and she never actually has to read...she make my wife do it for her before bed.

Huck Finn is funny...unless he's your daughter.
