Mavs have heart! Yeah! Take that, Houston! I know it took about two games for my boys to show it, but I am glad they did it. Of course, there are still two more games to be won, so I will refrain from counting my chickens before they are hatched. Hopefully, the German Pope will pray hard enough for Nowitzki to realize the play-offs have started.
Speaking of the German Pope, a former Hitler youth leading one of the world’s largest religion? In Dennis Miller’s words, anytime there is an adoring throng ardently and passionately in love with a German, it makes me nervous.
Via Prashant Kothari comes this story about a guy put to death in the Saud and they find out five-days later they find out he is innocent - turns out justice delayed was justice forever not served in this case. I am not surprised the Indian Government has not raised a stink over this - we are the kind of people who will put up crap just so others can tolerate us. We never believe we deserve respect like any other nationality. We will continue to be treated like crap until we decide we are as good as anyone else. It is one thing to be a squeaky wheel - it is another to go through impossibly great lengths to avoid confrontation of any kind.
Who woulda thunk it, but Laura Bush was genuinely fine in her well-scripted jokes about “Desperate Housewives” and “Chippendale’s”. Rock on, First Lady - a sense of humor only makes people more likeable - especially a self-deprecating one.
Thousands apparently marched for peace and against nuclear devices - I wonder how many flags were there denouncing North Korea or Iran who have nuclear ambitions…I am not exactly holding my breath trying to figure it out.

So, it takes a Mavs victory to wake you up from your slumber :angry:. Though, I moved out of DFW area some years back, I try to keep in touch with the Mavs. This year, we did better than the Lakers,Wolves. Now, even Kings are struggling in the play-offs. About the game, in the previous years, it was Van Excel who rose up to the occasion, this time it is Terry. Dirk puts too much pressure on himself. Apparently, AJ is doin a fine job for a rookie coach. Let’s see if the boyz can take a lead during the home game.

Hi L,
I heard Holger Gershwinder is back in town, so I expect Dirk to have a monster game tonight - let’s see how that goes :)

just one more game now, so that’s one less chicken to count:)
on nuclear weapons…isn’t it strange that we don’t refer to them more often as weapons of mass destruction?

Avinash, I am keeping my fingers firmly crossed.
As for referring to nuclear weapons as WMD, I am guessing WMD is a four-letter-word in a lot of circles these days.
