After a week of being sick and being screwed by people I assumed I could trust( details will be in my personal blog), I am ready to delve into the human condition once more.

As I was picking up lunch while at the gas station, I noticed the cover of FHM magazine. Once I stopped...ummm...drooling over Teri Hatcher on the cover, I noticed a banner across the top of the front cover. "Special Pull-Out About What Women Really Want!!!" I have expected to see a graphic representation of the male equipment, but I figured FHM hasn't gone the way of the adult mags quite yet. I will be honest I didn't look to see what it was. What else could it be? Best answer submitted will be posted here.

Major league Baseball players and owners have agreed to a steroid policy. You can bet it is pretty weak. A first positive test will result in a 10 day suspension, a 2nd gets you 30 days, a third gets you 60 days unpaid vacation, and a 4th bans you for a year. How about that possessing steroids in this country is illegal. Period. John and Jane Public Citizen would get thrown in jail on felony drug charges, not to mention many states have a 3 strike rule regarding controlled substances, but this is supposed to deal with the problem. Once again baseball and professional sports miss the fact that they are supposed to obey by the same rules we do.

Want to make a point that these children will get? Charge Barry Bonds with felonious possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute. By all accounts, he convinced Gary Sheffield to try them. If that isn't distribution, than how do you justify calling more than 2 ounces of marijuana as the level when having pot becomes a felony?

Also, amphetamines weren't added to the banned list, even though they too are illegal in this country without a prescription. Talk about restoring fan confidence. The only thing I'm confident of is that if I go to rehab someday, I think I can get Darryl Strawberry's autograph.

But I'm only a fan and I pay for tickets. Hey maybe we can start buying tickets with an appropriate amount of street drugs. A half kilo of blow should get you seats right next to Steinbrenner. If not you'll definitely be popular in the locker room.

This just in...... Darryl Strawberry just read the previous paragraph and is attempting another comeback.

I've heard on the news last night that Indonesia ( I may have the country wrong) is throwing all foreign military soldiers on aid relief out of the country because their government is spooked by all that military force inside their country. And you wonder why the area had no early warning capability?

Something else has been getting under my skin about the tsunami relief. A lot of people around the world are bitching that the United States hasn't sent enough money or that we should have set up early warning systems in these countries. Many of these same people bitch about our so-called imperialistic actions through-out the world. So what is it? Should we strongarm our technology into countries whose governments don't want our help or should we let them forage for themselves? Remember that Britain brought roads, sanitation, and medicine to parts of the world they colonized, but they were vilified for that too.

Where does this need for us to be #1 on the list of contributors come from? I would think that ponying up $350 million with a promise to add more as it is needed would be more important. You don't get a merit badge and tickets to Disney World for being the highest donator.

On another note, GWB's approval rating have gone up from 47% to 52% in an Opinion Dynamics poll. This means that at least 1% more people than who voted in the election believe he's doing a good job. Actually it doesn't mean that. Polls are flawed because they only ask 1000 or so people generally, sometimes more. Since their random, you never know what the breakdown is.
