Fox News:Police say an Iraqi soccer player has been shot dead just as he was about to kick what could have been the tying goal in a weekend game south of Baghdad. Police Maj. Muthanna Khalid says a striker from the Buhairat amateur team was facing only the goalie during a Sunday match in Hillah when a supporter of the rival Sinjar club shot him in the head in the final minute of play. Sinjar was leading 1-0 when the shooting occurred. Khalid said a spectator was arrested. More Iraqis are turning out for sports events now that security is improving. Major matches in Baghdad are heavily guarded but security in amateur games in smaller cities is often lax.
We at JimmyFenimore.com always search out the silver lining. I think it's pretty obvious what that is here. The psychopaths and loony tunes are back to being normal every day citizens and not country leaders. If you recall, one of Saddam's sons had severely burned the entire national teams feet after losing in international competition. That's just wrong on so many levels. Now .com doesn't support any sort of violence towards athletes unless it's being directed at O.J. Simpson or Adam "Pacman" Jones but we see progress in this tragedy. No longer do Iraqi athletes have to fear being tortured by their leaders. Instead, like the rest of the athletes around the world, they have to fear unruly fans. The truth is, this is small potatoes compared to some of the other Soccer related deaths around the world. We've heard of some nasty brawls regarding Yanks/Sox but these soccer nuts take the cake. From riots to gang beatings, when their team loses, forget it. No one is safe. That's why you need Bruce Willis to be commissioner of all sports. After all, he is the last boy scout.

Fox News: COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A 15-year-old Colorado Springs boy has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother after she discovered his stash of marijuana. Police say the boy hit, kicked and choked the woman at their home Sunday afternoon until she lost consciousness. Family members took her to Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and later released.
What's going on here? Colorado parents actually try to catch their kids with pot? I thought that was a perk of living out there, if it grows out of the ground you can smoke it. So maybe some of the parents hold to traditional values. This kid needs to down shift and take a deep breath. You got caught smoking a joint so you try to kill your mother? That's just not cool man. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I think 89% of teenagers get caught blazing by their parents. It's not big deal. Take the few weeks banned to your room where you can chat online, play Xbox, and yes, continue to smoke joints. Then you learn from your mistakes. Like, maybe not leave your stash on your nightstand when you come home wasted at night and sleep through your mom walking in your room at 1 in the afternoon to check on you because you're still sleeping. Am I projecting here? I think I'm projecting. Let's really think about this, he obviously wasn't high when he freaked out. No stoner is motivated enough to kill someone. So he was probably stone cold sober. What kind of punishment do you think she was trying to implement here? 700 lashings? The only rational thing I could think of is that he got home after a stressful day of being taught how America is the worst place on the planet (this is Colorado after all), and all he wanted to do was unwind with a spliffer. What happens? He finds out his mom stole his stash! (This is Colorado after all). Sometimes you got to put people in line when they steal your stash, I don't doubt that, but come on kid, that's your mom. Sharing is caring.

London Times One in seven people believe it is acceptable in some circumstances for a man to hit his wife or girlfriend if she is dressed in “sexy or revealing clothes in public”, according to the findings of a survey released today. A similar number believed that it was all right for a man to slap his wife or girlfriend if she is “nagging or constantly moaning at him”.
Once again the good people of England show their true colors. When the Prime Minister gave Obama some awesome historic gift the other day and Obama gave him 25 DVD's, I had no problem with the English being salty about that. Now, I don't really care what they think. Are they a nation of pimps? This is coming off the heels or the whole Rihanna beating. This is something I would have liked to addressed in a podcast, but who knows if those things will be coming back. I don't know if you heard, but she struck a deal with Chris Brown saying if he does so much as squeeze her arm too tight he has to give her 10 million bucks. Now if I was her, millionaire or not, I'd be saying some pretty mean stuff to him and "chase that papah eyy eyyy eyyy". That's obviously not the most sound relationship.
Getting back to England. 1 in 7 think it's ok to slap a woman because she dresses sexy? What about if she doesn't put out? Is that like, 5 in 7? You can hit a woman in England if she nags at you? Heres what I say to the Queen. Make this law, let men hit a woman for dressing sexy or nagging, but also put in the law that a woman can cut off a mans appendages if they come home drunk, refuse to turn off the "football" game in favor of England Idol, get laid off, forget a major birthday or holiday, and finally, if they ever complain about their in-laws. At the end of the day, a man should be happy his woman wants to dress sexy, it beats the alternative.
