1. Keith Richards claimed to have mixed some of his late father's ashes with cocaine and snorted them. Bud Selig immediately announced new testing measures to make sure no MLB players do the same.
2. Nancy Pelosi is in Syria, meeting with Syrian President Assad. Assad just wanted to see what it was like to meet with a woman who isn't wearing a burqua.
3. Iran announced the release of the 15 British sailors and marines they had been holding hostage for over a week, as a gesture of good will in light of Mohamed's birthday and Easter. You gotta give the Iranians credit, they know how to win a PR war.
4. Cardinal's announcer Joe Buck was presented with a World Series ring last night. Yep, an announcer got a ring. I guess all his homerism during Fox's coverage of the NLCS pushed them over the top.
5. Britney says that K-Fed was her biggest mistake. I guess she completely forgot about thinking she had talent.
6. Courtney Love had a nose job, in order to look less fake. I'm thinking she really needed it to fix all the damage from the coke, but that's just me.
7. I really didn't need to know that John Travolta and Kelly Preston write lists about what they want from each other, including how much sex.
8. Harlequin is holding tryouts for real men to be on the cover of their romance novels. I'm thinking the last thing women who read them want is a picture of some fat shirtless slob on the cover.
9. The FCC has decided to not allow cell phones on planes. Snakes are still OK.
10. After 500 days of rest, Carl Pavano started the Yankees opener. Of course, he sucked. He later blamed it on not enough rest, so he will push back his next start to opening day 2009.
11. A-Rod had the trifecta in the opener. Error. Stolen base. Two run home run with Yankees ahead by two runs.
12. Derek Jeter also made an error in the game, which led to a run for the Devil Rays. Yankee announcers blamed it on A-Rod for daring to be on the field at the same time.
13. After being blasted in their first two games by a combined score of 18-5, the Washington Nationals have forfeited the rest of the season.
14. Keith Richards is claiming that the story about snorting his dad's ashes was an April Fools prank. I'm sure dad would be proud.
15. Just for the hell of it - Looper is a Douche.
On a serious note.
Former Grambling Football coach Eddie Robinson passed away today after a long illness. Godspeed Eddie.

I don't care if Kelly Preston is a nutty scientologist married to a closeted gay guy - she's SMOKIN'. Always has been.
Derek Jeter also made an error in the game, which led to a run for the Devil Rays. Yankee announcers blamed it on A-Rod for daring to be on the field at the same time.
I thought they just pulled a Bush, changed the truth mid-inning, and by the end of the game the box score gave the error to A-Rod.
Will Jeter give his Gold Glove to Michael Kay?
True that Toasty.
Possibly the only redeeming quality of Jerry McGqire was the scene when she tells Tom Cruise that she would invite in another woman.
Not that I've ever seen the movie...
Ed, are you writing under a pseudomym at Flushing U? I looked for you just now, but I don't see anything.
Mike -
Don't know what happened there today.
Maybe they didn't like what I sent in.
Don't think that's it. Maybe it'll be up later today. Or maybe they want you to submit Wednesdays to post on Thursday.
it's up Mike.
You don't have to give anything to Iran Ed...they'll just take it when they feel like it.
How is releasing kidnapped prisoners anything good or indifferent. I guess they didn't kill them like the hostages at the Olympics or hold them for months like the hostages from the US embassy back in the day...but is it really good PR? They took them hostage in the first place!
I have problems with our foreign policy too but I think it's a weird joke to call anything Iran does good...this is the same country who just had a conference trying to disprove the Holocaust!
Is there any way that Nancy Pelosi can stop over in Iran for a visit before she returns home?
Anyway, what a great start to the Mets season...and a weird start for the Yanks. Sure the Yanks beat the Devil Rays but only by default (Homer Simpson's two favorite words). I see trouble ahead for the Bummers.
And how weird will it be for you to root for the Rangers over the next couple of days? Or are you focusing all of your attention on baseball and calling the NHL season quits?
Lets Go Mets! Bloopers up next...how sweet it is!
Be good dude...
Cool stuff, Ed. Nice to see your thoughts up in a larger forum.
And a good article too. I especially like the Glavine-Smoltz & Pelfrey-Hamels analogies.
I would've commented there, but not sure how it works exactly. Someone "commented" in the forum (the one with the Groucho Marx quotation), but not sure how to play along.
