I am just back from the Tuesday football luncheon at the Quality Inn. Towards the end of the discussion of the game, it came to light that the River Falls Homecoming featured a "streaker" during the third quarter of the game.
I asked my friend Wil about it when coach mentioned it in passing and Wil said that the guy ran the entire length of the field with good speed, wearing only shoes and socks. When I asked if the police caught him, Wil said no one seemed interested in arresting him.
How come I miss out on all the fun?
Got an nteresting e mail from my bano playijng ex-marine buddy Andy Munich, the contents of which follow:
Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq , here's a sobering statistic:
There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraqi theatre of operations during the last
22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths. That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq .
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington
I don't agree. Unfortunately it is the poor who are killing the poor. we need someone to step up and dispatch politicians with as much gusto.
