''Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country.'' —President George W. Bush, Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004



Irish Thunder was my nickname in middle school for obvious reasons, so I had to read this book. It's about the great Micky Ward and his asshole brother Dickie. I was shocked when the book turned out to be really good. It was written by Bob Halloran, the weekend sports anchor on Channel 5 in Boston. I guess if you only work on the weekends you have a lot of extra time to do research for a book. Tons of interviews, inside access and great fight descriptions. Halloran only sold 10,000 hard copies of the book when it came out a few years ago...so it's only available in paperback. I'm guessing "The Fighter" hasn't hurt sales. If you like boxing, pick up this book.



I was running on E the other day, so I pulled into a gas station to fill up. Stuck the old credit card on the meter, hit the 87 unleaded... $56!!! Are you fucking kidding me Gaddafi! But seriously this guy is a dead man walking, kind of like Charlie Sheen. The question isn't if he's going to die, but how he's gonna die. My guess for Gaddafi... cocaine overdose.


An Irish guy named Murph playing for the Celtics? Pinch me. Just last week I was complaining about the lack of token white guys on this team after the departure of Scalabrine. They did add a red head in the off season with Delonte West, but it just wasn't the same. Murphy has played 639 games in his career and has never made the playoffs, which is the longest active streak in the NBA. But it's tough to make the playoffs when you play for the Nets, Warriors and Pacers.
The FBI released documents from 1961 alleging that Ted Kennedy rented out a brothel in Chile for an entire night while on a diplomatic visit to the South American country. Kennedy even invited a US Embassy chauffeur to double team some whores with him. What a guy! I'm going to bed.
