Thursday's Quick Hitters

Sudan rebels hold key to peace pact. So I guess we can count on it not happening.

Earth Day, my ass!

A high school baseball team in Orange County, Fla., was angered after a concert at their home stadium left the venue damaged and the playing field littered with debris and feces, according to a Local 6 News report.

The Lake Highland Prep baseball team was scheduled to play Umatilla inside Tinker Field Tuesday night.

However, damage to the historical field from Sunday's Earth Day Birthday concert left the team without a home field.

"You don't have to look very far here at Tinker Stadium to see why tonight's game cannot go on as planned," Local 6 reporter Jessica Sanchez said. "The Lake Highland Prep baseball coach is disgusted with what he sees. A bathroom in shambles, a grass-less field littered with debris and feces. [emphasis added]"
(and incidentally, have I mentioned lately that Local 6 is the bestest site on INTERNET?)

Well, I'll be darned. Maybe we haven't lost the war in Iraq.

Just because YOU thought it was funny doesn't mean that EVERYONE thought it was funny: Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow is outraged that not everybody thought Steven Colbert's mocking of President Bush was funny (link NSFW if your site uses SmartFilter, which still thinks Boing Boing is a porn site). Look, Cory, I know that every breath President Bush continues to draw is a grievious personal insult to you, but stick to writing SF and you'll be OK.
