Upsets are what sports are all about.

GHANA WINS!

Can there be anything as great?

*EDIT*
Well, it would have been almost as great if the US had won, rather than draw.

Italy now leads group E with 4 pts and the US brings up the rear with a lonely point. To guarantee a spot in the second round, the US needs to beat Ghana, and Italy needs to beat the Czech Republic. If the US wins and the Czech Republic is able to pull a tie/win the contest goes into goal differentials which would almost be a lost cause for the US (we have only scored a measly one goal so far).

Of course, if we make it to the second round, we aren't going to get any further unless we can somehow come up with a plan on beating Brazil...

Butterflies makes good eating.

It is unfortunate that Marvel has chosen to use Spiderman as the spokesman for the "Super-Hero Registration Act" in the seven-book series "Civil War." All super-heroes have to have a flaw, and Peter Parker has always been one to act without thinking. Maybe Captain America can set him to rights: the Captain knows full well the atrocities committed after so-called "innocent" profiling.

I think this will be the only time in which I will cheer for someone to kick the living tar out of Spidey.

Did someone say World Cup?

Dang, I feel sorry for the goalies in the World Cup this year. The ball is designed a bit differently, with less seams, which causes unpredictable knuckleball-like behavior. Read more about is at LiveScience.com.

In other World Cup news, the good 'ol USA lost. Alas. Let's hope they fare better against Italy and Ghana. We have a lot of goal scoring to do to garner a good differential, which will more than likely decide who second place is in Group E.

More news: England fans were quite tame for once. Way to go England! Let's see if they're as tame when (if?) they lose. I'm betting on a whole lotta not.

Klingons are stupid.

NASA has cut the wrong funding. Just recently, NASA has announced they have slashed the funds to its green projects, whereas the funding for manned space missions still has the go ahead. The Deep Space Climate Observatory, which has already been built, is now grounded indefinetely.

Our manned space missions are a joke. Until we seriously redesign our tactics to getting people into space, it is a much better use of NASA's money to supply data for scientists to better understand climate change.

So, people actually read Ann Coulter? Oh, how I love you crazy, crazy people.

Anne Coulter is the new Marilyn Manson. She even sometimes dresses like a woman, I hear.

If you haven't seen Goonies, you don't exist.

Maybe our focus has been a bit off lately. For the first time in 5 years, the US violent crime rates have risen.

James Alan Fox, a criminal justice professor, as well as other experts believe this is because of complacency in fighting crime and the lack of federal funding towards police.
