Late Friday Shenanigans

Don't forget the Manager's Scramble starting at 8am in the morning. We'll follow with skins. And yes we're still looking for our hole-in-one for the week.

In other news:

Supreme Court to hear case on whether US government has right to hold enemy combatants forever and a day without ever giving them a day in court. About time. A long time ago, maybe as far back as the 60's, I remember someone telling me that America was a great respecter of laws and that Americans were in general a law abiding people. He did say there was one stipulation, that that respect stopped at the border, that outside our own borders, unlawful stuff was fair game. Remember the Frank Church hearings back in the '70's? Where all sorts of illegal things were being planned and carried out by the CIA? (Of course, our current administration is going for broke in a similar fashion with the stipulation that they insist it is all legal because in time of war the president is god, is above the law, makes the law to protect the American people...) So, now the Supreme Court is going to listen and hopefully again slap down the administration for going overboard in its curtailment of individual freedom in the pursuit of security. Again, it's about time.

Cubbies win 7th in a row. WOW!

Heading out on the course - clean up round.
