Boney don't know soccer

(as an aside, I survived the night with no ill effects. No clue to the cause, and I hope it doesn't repeat).

The final score was Kixx 14, Baltimore Blast 7. Interestingly, scoring rules have changed since I've played -- every goal is now 2 points unless you're behind the yellow line, in which case it's 3 points. *shrugs* Whatever

All in all, much better than the NHL game we went to because they played for more than three minutes at a time. Again though, I was surprised at how not "great" the players were on average. Also, both teams failed to make much use of the walls for passing or scoring attempts. I don't know if it's because of poor ball handling or because the walls at the Spectrum aren't very accurate. (I always played indoor at places that were dedicated to indoor so the field was never dismantled and were much sturdier than the walls appeared to be here).

Bad taste in my mouth.

Okay, so someone I was talking politics the other day made an issue of the fact that democrat and republican leaderships are equally corrupt - as proof of the point, they cited an over extravagant party that Pelosi had thrown for donors and such. they didn't state when or anything, but I figured it should be easy enough to google for verification.

So I googled and I found this article on the party that Pelosi threw after being named speaker of the house. The source is the National Review Online.

OMG. Can someone pass me the brain bleach? The author's utter contempt for anything a) democrat and b) not rich is amazing.
