David Beckham is a wuss. There. I said it.

I was just reading a news story on Yahoo about how polar bears sometimes resort to cannibalism to survive when their food supply runs short. Man, that's a tough life. I would never judge a polar bear because, well, I'm no polar bear, but any situation where you look to your left and then your right and your cousin, Betty, starts to look like a good dinner...well, that's just sucky.

I saw that the American soccer team got whomped by the Czech Republic yesterday. Sigh. I think the Czech Republic is about the size of Kentucky, but it sounds like they've got some really good soccer players there, so you can't begrudge them their victory. I actually spent a couple days in the Czech Republic back in '95 when I studied abroad. It's a neat country. Back then, you could get a lunch of 2 hot dogs, chips, cookies and a Coke for about 75 cents. Sweet. The people were really nice...although I didn't speak the language so they could have been calling me stupid for all I know. I really loved visiting Switzerland and Germany, too. I'd love to get back to both of those countries sometime. Good food, nice people and excellent cheese and pretzels. Mmmm.
