The Raiders…Al Davis and Lane Kiffin. He said! He said!

Sure Pops, whatever you say…

Well, it had all the appeal of a train wreck.
Smacked of a messy divorce, perhaps?
Funny that.
If two women get into a war of words, it’s a cat fight alright!
But, when men start to batten down the hatches, they’re just posturing.

Los Angeles Times…quote of the day! Blogger screws up…

Posted by: Julian Ayrs on: October 3, 2008

A controversy arose when a writer from a blog site (Blue Tidal Wave) submitted a story for consideration on Digg – which alleged that footage from a Katie Couric interview – was being “held back” to gain some advantage in the leverage game.

Wayne Gretzky…the great one!

Posted by: Julian Ayrs on: October 3, 2008

On campus at UCLA last night, I came across an attentive group of Asian Students in the courtyard studying the ancient ritual of the Dragon Dance.
The Chinese have a long-held belief they are descendants of the dragon, a conviction which is firmly embedded in their customs and traditions.
On these shores (in our Western Culture) [...]
