Trackers Kill Tiger in Ventura County
The decision by government trackers to use high-powered rifles instead of tranquilizer darts to bring down the elusive cat outraged animal rights activists. But state officials said they had no alternative but to shoot to kill, because the animal could have attacked or bolted onto a highway or into a public park nearby.
I agree with Tippi Hedren, though… They could have at least tried sedating it first with the big guns at the ready.
I just want them to string up whomever brought the cat to suburbia in the first place.
In case a home invasion/robbery isn’t exciting enough for the soccer moms…
Last night we were disturbed by (at least) a pair of police helecopters (or maybe they were just news choppers, don’t really know) hovering over our whitebread ‘hood like we we suddenly in Compton or something. While it was fun for me to watch the flyboys zoom around — they were a lot higher than I expected considering our walls were shaking, it was more than a little creepy overall.
Turns out some ass was trying to shake Johnny Law in a car chase that went right around our neck of the woods.
I can think of a handful of possible locations for that sign the police officer ran into. All of them are within maybe a mile of my house.
Mesi to Submit Further Medical Tests; Hearing on Hold
Mesi (29-0) was the WBC’s top-ranked contender before falling out of the ratings entirely in October. The suburban Buffalo native has been suspended indefinitely, pending a review of his medical records, since winning a unanimous decision over Vassiliy Jirov in Las Vegas last March.
Mesi hung on for the win, knocked down three times in the final two rounds, and sustained a subdural hematoma - bleeding on the brain.
I enjoyed the one Mesi fight I’ve seen (don’t remember if it was the Jirov contest, but you’d assume so). He’s the first heavyweight in a while to really pique my interest.
Ooh! Regarding the title, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson is a fantastic show.
Since the NHL sucks, let’s review some nice happenings in the hockey world, shall we?
Now, if only I could get NESN broadcasts of BU hockey games here in Denver…
BTW, the XML output from Google Maps, that I mentioned earlier has been disabled.
Mais c’est la vie, non?
[The funny bit is I found out about this because Jon added my "pee a little" response to his original post to his del.icio.us links.]
