24-7 Lamont Afternoon Open Forum

Just kidding...

Two pieces of Lamont news:

1. Lamont has a new ad comparing Lieberman to Bush

2. Move On went national in its fundraising appeal for Lamont (and Farrell and Patrick Murphy)

One piece of World Cup news - Australia loses to Italy in the 93rd minute on a penalty kick (the actual flop, I mean, foul, was of the questionable variety) after being up a man for more than 40 minutes. Is it me or are the refs deciding more games than in previous Cups?

Chris Murphy=don't underestimate him.

I think the 5CD race is the most interesting of all the Congressional races.

Just a heads-up, some of us are TiVoing the Wrld Cup games so we can watch them when we get home from work.

Yesterday's refs were the worst I've ever seen for any sport. They totally lost control of the game. Totally disgraceful for the world's largest and most watched tournament...

ESPN just flashed a statistic on the screen that this WC has already set a record for yellow cards and red cards and we aren't done with the round of 16 yet. Great.

Today's flop bothered me more than yesterday through because I was pulling hard for the Socceroos...

Sorry John... No more score updates from me...
