Things I do not understand:
1. Baseball suspended Manny Ramirez for fifty games. He spent that time "rehabbing". Apparently that means playing baseball for the Dodger's farm club instead of the major league club. That's a suspension? Now he's playing again for the big club. If you take drugs while working in the real world your suspension is permanent.
2. NFL player Donte Stallworth served 24 days in jail for killing a pedestrian while driving under the influence. 24 days. How is that possible?
3. Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin's ex-boyfriend and father of her child, is making the rounds of the new organizations talking about her and her family. Hey, dude, that's your child grandparents. And get a job. Make money on your own. You're a leech.
4. And speaking of Palin, how can she be a fighter if she's quitting?
5. Twitter.

Re: #4 I think it was McCain that said she did not quit, she just "changed her priorities".

Lewis, I just read a thing this morning (hosted by TypePad) where bloggers were asked to talk about Twitter. Most seemed to agree that it takes them away from blogging... and that it's kind of like crack.
I think I will continue to avoid it for those reasons alone. You and I have seen many, many bloggers--often excellent ones--fall by the wayside because they were lured away by the latest techno-fad.
Blogging, to my way of thinking (and as the son of a journalist) is akin to publishing one's own newspaper. That's a wonderful capability to have, and I don't intend to give it up. I hope you don't either.
