Before I ruminate about F1 and other things, you need to know it is now tourist season in Alaska. Friday morning, what normally takes me about 5 minutes to drive took nearly 20. All Alaskans now are anxiously awaiting Labor Day !
The Rookie wins again
McLaren's rookie took his second win at the USGP in a totally superior manner. I understand that all succesful race car drivers are overflowing with confidence, but this kid has a self-effacing confidence that absolutely makes you think he will take the driver's championship this year. Meanwhile, Alonso appears increasingly frustrated; but, he has made a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes which cost him. Perhaps the rookie's performance is unsettling?
Elsewhere, Ferrari continues to find the answer, while BMW-Sauber improves with each race ... I think they will get at least one win before it's over. Honda continues to stumble like a drunken sailor, "green car" not withstanding.
Baseball
The Braves are hanging in in 2nd place behind the Mets, but they are inconsistent. Sometimes they can't hit, sometimes the fielding mistakes look like rookie league stuff. If they want to make the playoffs, it's time to get their act(s) together !Guvmint
Can the country survive until the next election/inauguration ? The shrubbies increase the amount of egg on their collective faces daily. The AG continues to say their wasn't anything political about firing "his" US Attorneys, despite testimony otherwise; Cheney claims his office isn't really in the Executive branch (gee, dick, read the Constitution lately?); and Shrub 2 blissfully demonstrates his knack for blundering and a complete unwillingness to admit the majority of his administration's decisions have caused the nation more harm than good.You know, things are getting somewhat surreal.
