Miscellaneous Rambling
The cultural bludgeoning continues, the likes of which haven't been seen since early 1930s Germany: 25 LGBT groups send letter to Big 12 urging it to shun BYU. Whatta wild swing of the pendulum it's been. If you're a sincere Catholic, traditional Christian, or LDS and voting Democrat, you're a flat-out idiot. I can't explain it anyway else.
Good reading: The Riot Caused by a Performance of Macbeth. NYC, 1849, when people took their Shakespeare--and the England v. USA rivalry--a bit more seriously.
Michael Phelps should've declared Singapore citizenship years ago: It pays gold medal Olympians $750,000 per medal. Of course, they've never had a gold medal Olympian, but there's hope . . . and a ton of cash to the person who does it. This link has a list of what each country pays its gold medalists (the U.S. pays $25,000).

I figure it won't be long until 360-dunks are declared sexist.
