Well, it's my first annual State of the Blog. You know, it always bothered me. How is it the first annual of anything? That is really weird, because to be annual, it gots to be ongoing, you know. I guess that it would have been ridiculous to have one on my first day here at the Greenmantle desk, so whatever. Anyway, here it is: The major problem is that nobody reads this thing. That really is a problem. Obviously, I have some secret admirers, like Rainier, but still, it's pretty tough. Another problem is that Idon't know how to jazz this thing up. I'm referring to the functions of bold, underline, italics, and hyperlinks. Oh well, as I said, no one reads this anyway.
On to a new topic. Bush made two references to Israel. The first was all right, as he at least didn't mention any palistinian terrorists dying. The second was not as good, however, because he partially blamed Israel for terrorism in the Middle East. His talk about sports was cute. Obviously, hockey, basketball, rugby, tennis (John Mackenroe), and water polo feel disenfranchised, but I'll explain. W owned a baseball team, the woeful Rangers, and he practiced with the Packers in training camp 4 years ago, throwing a pass to Bubba Franks that I believe went for 23 yards. I doubt the man has ever ice-skated, and since he is bereft of sons, he probably never shot hoops. Well, I forgive him. Anyway, about the steroids, that's just cute. But of course it will do absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, Andre Aggasi won again, which is just sweet. Here's to a Roddick-Agassi semifinal, and then a Aggasi-Blake final. I'll take it. Bye
