Roger Clemens, Love Monkey, and Exploding Paperweights?

3 quick items of note. I'll even number them for you so you can be sure that I actually provide 3 items:

1. Way to go, Roger Clemens! The list of people that strongly dislike you is continuing to grow. The people of Boston, Toronto, and New York dislike you, and the people of Houston will probably dislike you if you keep them waiting any longer to make a decision about whether or not you'll be playing this season. After all, it's not like the season has just started or anything. Any case, now a big piece of the Asian population dislikes you as well. The only reason I'm posting this is because I secretly enjoy when an athlete or team gets a 'public black eye', and the athlete/team isn't related to the city of Philadelphia. (Doesn't mean I condone the comment.) Here's the excerpt from an ESPN.com article:

Roger Clemens was discussing his future Tuesday at the Astros season opener when he responded to a question about his health after the World Baseball Classic with a comment that some might consider racially insensitive.

Clemens, who broke down late last season with injuries, said he felt fine after the WBC and left the tournament impressed by the quality of the international teams.
But he made a questionable comment when speaking about the devotion of the Japanese and South Korean fans.

"None of the dry cleaners were open, they were all at the game, Japan and Korea," Clemens said. "So we couldn't get any dry cleaning done out there, but I guess the neatest thing is that 50,000 of them were at Anaheim Stadium."

2. To all of the Love Monkey fans out there, rejoice! The CBS "dramady" we enjoyed in January and was abruptly cut after only 3 episodes was picked up by VH1. They will be showing the 3 previously aired episodes back-t0-back on Tuesday, April 11 at 7pm, and then the 5 unaired episodes from the first season will be on beginning Tuesday, April 18 at 9pm. Read more about it right here. I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited.

3. Thank you to Julie for passing along this human interest story , and by that I mean, "the stupid things that people in this country do". It should also be noted that Julie wants to file this one under "Things not to keep on your desk at work". Moral of the story: when dealing with ammunition, don' be so quick to assume that it's not live.
