- Cindy Sheehan is considering running against Nancy Pelosi in 2008. Um...that's sort of like when Notre Dame and Ohio State played in the Fiesta Bowl a couple years ago. I don't want either to win, I just kind of want some disaster to wipe them both off the face of the earth.
- The Hell Family is engaged in a struggle with a Catholic school in Australia. LOL.
- The Chinese have been invaded by mice.
- Silly Aussies: An Australian company is seeking live testers for their condom products.

Sports:
- Dan Haren and Jake Peavy will be the starting pitchers in the All-Star Game tomorrow night.
- Jim Leyland - the manager for the AL in the All-Star Game - put Magglio Ordonez, Ivan Rodriguez and Placido Polanco - his players with the Tigers - at the bottom of the AL batting order.

- The Red Wings have signed 38-year old forward Dallas Drake to a one-year, $550,000 contract.
