There's Gold in Them Thar Hills
Posted onIts nice that someone other than Michael Phelps has won a gold medal. Nastia Liukin took the women’s all around title and the head of US Gymnastics Bela Karolyi goes nuts while watching the routine. Gotta love the enthusiasm. I believe his exact words were, “Beautiful!

To Be Batman
Posted onIn preparation for the hotly anticipated “The Dark Knight,” it seems that everyone is talking about, as the Joker puts it, “The Batman.” While he may be “at home, washing his tights” (okay, that would never happen, Alfred would handle that chore) it is precisely that that idea which so endears Bruce Wayne’s alter ego […]
