Americans are furious over perceived blown calls in the US match against Slovenia today by a referee from Mali. Which is kind of interesting when you think about it. It’s a sport we largely don’t care about, with rules most of us don’t understand, and most Americans probably couldn’t find either Slovenia OR Mali on a map.

–

At least Mali has been independent from France for 50 years. The world sporting community doesn’t need another incident regarding a French judge.

–
Actually, it does appear from replays that the US has valid complaints in the second half. On the other hand, what about that first half? The blown call(s) wouldn’t have mattered if the team wasn’t down 2-0 to a country with approximately the population of West Virginia.

–
If the US does get bounced out of the World Cup in the first round, Americans will be upset about it for a long time. Just like we were after the Olympic gold medal hockey game….say, who won that anyhow?

–
More disturbing World Cup news from Marc Ragovin, “Paris Hilton was arrested last night for flashing her vuvuzela in public.”

–

Stephen Strasburg set a major league record with 32 strikeouts in his first three major league starts. And amazingly he did it without facing the Giants and Mariners.

–
Manny Ramirez was distinctly underwhelming in his first return to Fenway Park as a Dodger. But to be fair, he may not have been at his best mid-second trimester.

–
In a FOX News interview, Sarah Palin indicated she felt that police should just leave marijuana users alone if they are not out in public – – “If somebody’s gonna smoke a joint in their house and not do anybody else any harm.” Hmm, wonder who’s inhaling in Wasilla?

–

Suddenly that new fence Palin built around her home makes a lot more sense.

–
Campbell’s is recalling their SpaghettiOs with Meatballs products because of concerns about undercooked beef. Those of us who grew up on SpaghettiOs are shocked – the meatballs actually contain beef?

–

Female employees at Walt Disney World no longer have to wear panty hose to work. This change was prompted by a simple question from most new hires – “What are panty hose?”

–
Meg Whitman says in new Spanish ads targeting Latino voters that she is a “Una Candidata diferente.” Yeah, for starters “diferente” than she was in the Primary.

–
BP’s CEO Tony Hayward not only said he was “out of the loop” and unaware of anything wrong at his company, he has now been removed from his position overseeing the oil spill situation. So since he’s sort of out of a job what will Hayward do now? It’s too late to declare for the Senate race in California.
