A false prophet

June 9, 2009

So Jon Voight is calling Obama a false prophet.  Hey Jon, “24” ended last month.  Next up, Kiefer Sutherland calling for an overall of the FBI.

 

A court threw out a lawsuit by a San Diego woman alleging fraud because she just found out Cap’n Crunch Crunchberries weren’t a real fruit. She had previously sued after she discovered there was no real fruit in Froot Loops. Think she would have had a better chance if she sued on the premise that eating too much sugared cereal rots your brain.

 

Congrats to Stanford closer Drew Storen, chosen as the number 10 pick in the MLB draft by the Washington Nationals. Even though these days being a closer for the Nationals is kind of like being a wedding planner for Trekkies.

Manny Ramirez  said he isn’t going to talk about what led to his suspension because “it’s in the past.”  Yeah, that line worked so well for Mark McGwire.

And in the  You-can’t-make-this-stuff-up department,  Ramirez added that he didn’t want “to be a distraction for this team.”

The Major League Baseball draft continues Wednesday and Thursday.  MLB’s draft never receives as much attention as the NBA and NFL draft, partly because it goes on forever, and for the most part it features players most Americans have never heard of… Sort of like the Stanley Cup playoffs.
