Very bad pun…

The true story of how John McCain chose Sarah Palin?  McCain was talking to his aides about needing a strong woman on the ticket to attract Hillary Clinton voters, but said he wasn’t sure where he should be looking and didn’t feel confident about approaching any of them with the offer  –  A   Southern aide volunteered  “Ay’ll ask her?.”

Leland Yee,  a state senator in California,  may introduce leglislation against a new LPGA  policy that will require  players to speak “effective English”  starting in 2009.    He feels that it is unfair that the tour will hold its players to higher standards than the US presidency.

 And fans in Oakland cannot wait for the football season to start.  After enduring the woeful second half of the As, it will be a refreshing change to root for a team that only loses once a week.
