a short drive in Los Angeles, most people just walk.
The North Dakota Fighting Sioux logo was ruled damaging and
offensive by the NCAA on Wednesday. They nailed the wrong school.
If the NCAA wants to get rid of a mascot that's damaging and
offensive they ought to abolish the Miami Hurricanes.
The Oakland Raiders upended the Dallas Cowboys behind the
arm of quarterback Kerry Collins on Sunday. He's been a particular
nemesis. For seven years Kerry Collins has been a member of the

USA Today reported Friday that gasoline sales are down
fifteen percent. They said high gas prices are wiping out
cigarette, candy and soft drink sales. There's a risk everyone
could live to a hundred and bankrupt the entire Social Security system.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was sworn into
office Thursday and he will preside when the court opens Monday.
At his young age he could swear in the next ten presidents. He

fear of violence from pro-independence activists on her arrival.
