I’ve slowly started to follow basketball a bit more this year. With the Pistons being so dominant, and with them being in the Finals for the past two years, its starting to even get my attention. Nice to have something to be proud of sports wise considering the Lions are an embarassment. […]
I saw this in the Detroit Free Press:
Al Michaels was traded from ABC to NBC for a cartoon bunny, four rounds of golf and Olympic highlights. The rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a bunny created by Walt Disney in the 1920s before he invented Mickey Mouse, were transferred from NBC Universal to The Walt […]
Israel plans to build ‘museum of tolerance’ on Muslim graves:
Skeletons are being removed from the site of an ancient Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem to make way for a $150m (£86m) “museum of tolerance” being built for the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Centre.
