It’s been pointed out that athletes are rarely as stupid as other celebrities. Neal Boortz has told some interesting tales about this from his time as a sports agent. In particular, athletes coming from a single-welfare-mom background are shocked and horrified by how much of their money the Feds are taking in taxes. That’s frequently a big enough bump on the head by the ClueBat to keep them far away from Donks.

Normally only squishy diarybloggers do this sort of thing, but both Acidman and Venomous Kate posted today’s so I think it’s safe to without being considered a wuss

1. Who is your favorite celebrity?
Jackie Chan. He has Real Ultimate Power.

Michael Moore.

3. Have you ever seen or met any celebrities in real life?
Sure. I’ve met and spoken with Daunte Culpepper, and several other NFL players.

The missing Iraqi museum pieces have started to surface…in France.

Michele’s Ackbar-sense tingled and she decided the CNN appearance was a trap. So she won’t be on TV.

Hey cool, we have a “market cap” of $645, and I didn’t even set us up on there (howzat work, anyway?). Check it out here. I see that David Raynes has already written a nifty plugin that lets you include BlogShares data in your template. Behind the scenes I’ve been messing with the template again anyway (Andrea Harris is a bad influence) so watch for it to show up.

Victor Davis Hanson has written a typically superb summary of the war.
