Not sure laughter is the best revenge, but to all those who think it’s inappropriate to laugh on September 11, I think if we don’t laugh, it’s another way the bad guys win.

Good to see Bill Clinton taking the high road and working with John Boehner to raise funds for a Flight 93 memorial. Especially as Bill could have said he wanted a John Boehner tribute to 9/11 simply by placing the U.S. permanently at threat level Orange.

–
Police are on alert because of “credible but unconfirmed” rumors of a vehicle bomb in New York and/or Washington tomorrow. Not sure what that means but probably a really bad day to be moving to either of those cities and driving around semi-lost in a rental U-Haul.

–
With “Contagion” coming out the same weekend as the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the only thing longer than airport security lines are the lines to wash hands at theater bathrooms.

Despite Nevada’s 69-20 loss to Oregon today, there’s evidence Ducks coach Chip Kelly was taking the Wolfpack seriously. Kelly reinstated star cornerback and punt returner Cliff Harris before the game. Harris had been suspended indefinitely after being cited for driving 118 mph in June, while driving with a suspended license.

(And no doubt Harris has been warned, if he messes up again he’ll be dropped from the team barely with time to enter the NFL supplemental draft.)

Houston businessman Jim Crane has been waiting since May for MLB to approve his purchase of the Houston Astros. Considering that the team is on pace to lose about 110 games, maybe the delay is due to the time required to complete a sanity evaluation.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly has reinstated star cornerback and punt returner Cliff Harris for today’s game. Harris had been suspended indefinitely after being cited for driving 118 mph in June, while driving with a suspended license. Apparently driving that fast is forgivable – if you run that fast on a football field.

Apparently over 20 Fresno State footballl players from Fresno State have been accused of filing for false benefits in a welfare fraud investigation. In the players’ defense they said “Well, it’s not like we could make any money selling memorabilia from the Humanitarian Bowl.”

Facing increasing more allegations of NCAA violations, Ohio State needed a last minute fourth-down stop to hold off Toledo today – 27 to 22. A loss would have been the most embarrassing thing to happen to the Buckeyes since at least Thursday.

A Continental Connection plane landed uneventfully at Sulphur, Louisiana Wednesday night. Except that they were supposed to land at Lake Charles, Louisiana, about a half-hour drive away. That’s it. No more pilot happy hours. (Or at least they need to stick to beer over hurricanes.
