QUICK HITS

--Environment Canada says today's hail storm in Calgary arrived so quickly, they were unable to issue any warnings.  That's a joke, surely, as typing up this brief note about Environment Canada and posting it online has taken me under 60 seconds.

--Mel Gibson needs to be put in a room with some stuffed animals and rubber walls so he can get out whatever is causing him to be so angry at anything and everything that isn't white skinned and heterosexual.

--Speaking of skin color, Jesse Jackson does far more to hurt racial relations than he does to help them.  His most recent target is Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert.  Gilbert lashed out at Lebron James following last week's announcement he was leaving the Cavs for the Miami Heat.  Jackson said Gilbert's comments personified a slave master mentality.  I wish Jesse would just go away.

--Major League Baseball should not have a home run derby as part of its All-Star festivities.  Most of the players don't want to take part.  Tonight's event, which I'm not watching, features B and C list power hitters.  I can't believe hitters that are so good they are considered to be the top dozen or so in the world are so worried that one night of 'fun' will ruin their swing for the next month.  It's childish, immature, and snotty.

--I'm not a fan of All-Star Games in any sport.  I'd be happier if leagues simply named players who would play in a game if one was to be held and then move on (symbolic).  Give everyone 3 days off and then pick it up later in the week.

--People that show up at Craven two weeks in advance of the weekend concert proceedings are either nuts or have no lives.  If you are one of these people and you are reading this, please email me so I can understand better.  mikestackhouse@hotmail.com .

--Furthermore, if organizers promised nothing more than bar bands for entertainment would you still go provided 15-thousand other people would also commit to going?
