Weekend Update

The soccer post was one I don't want on the blog given my hatred for that sport. Believe me, I think it's a waste of time. It's a sport that can't even get 10 anything in a span of 5 minutes. In basketball, baseball, or anything else with contact, those sports are a lot better to watch.

Anyway, I saw Click over the weekend starring Adam Sandler (SNL) and Kate Beckinsale. Overall, it wasn't that bad but I've rarely been to comedies where I cry. I'm not sure if there was a dry eye in the theatre by the time that I left.

Iowa wants a visit by Senator Barack Obama. Speaking of Iowa, it will sure be busy in July.

While they vote theirselves a pay raise every year for a "cost of living" increase, they could care less for the people that vote for them. Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh care about the people and voted in favor of raising the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour.

Indiana Senators Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh supported the amendment to raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour.

Wednesday, the vote on that bill was 52-to-46 for the amendment by Senator Edward Kennedy, but under budget rules, 60 votes were needed to pass the measure.

Indiana's Senators split on an alternative amendment, to raise the minimum wage by $1.10 in two steps over 18 months. However, that was also voted down 53-to-45.

I hope they can find the additional eight votes needed. With no doubt, I am sure that they will come January 2007!

Senator George McGovern, the party's 1972 presidential candidate, has encouraged former Senator Tom Daschle to run for president in 2008.

I don't know how I missed this one the other day but it appears that Natlie Portman will star in The Other Boleyn Girl as Anne. Eic Bana (Munich, Hulk) is set to play King Henry VIII in the Columbia Pictures film expected to be released in 2007.

Catch up with Second City in Denver, Colorado.

Manfred Mann was once blinded by the light. Whatever happened to them?

Former UK basketball star Ravi Moss is giving up on football.

"After much thought and consideration, Ravi has decided to forego the football season," Coach Rich Brooks said. "He felt that missing half the games would not make it worth doing what was needed to prepare for the season. Given the NCAA ruling, we certainly understand and wish him well. We appreciate the effort he gave us."

Enquirer editorial with regards to the blog ban.
