Leonard's Loser
When I lived in the south I always enjoyed hearing the unique predictions of Leonard, now he's online. Here is a sample of a game that is being played today...
Leonard's Losers -- Smart Pill Machine:
"The Volunteer Army is looking to play a game of capture the flag, and the banner they want ownership of is decorated with the words 'SEC Champions.' Before they claim that title, they first have to trap the official reptiles of the Sunshine State that are hanging out in the Gainesville Swamp Lands. General Fulmer will have his Tennessee Troops eating hardtack and drinking black coffee, but I ain't sure that's enough nourishment to see them through the war ahead.
Leonard's Loser -- Tennessee by 7."

From Pregnant teen's death under investigation / East Bay woman had taken RU-486, according to father:
"The Alameda County coroner's office is investigating the case of an 18- year-old East Bay woman who died Wednesday, days after reportedly taking the abortion pill RU-486.
The victim's father told The Chronicle that his 18-year-old daughter had gotten a prescription for RU-486 at a Planned Parenthood office in Hayward on Sept. 10 to end her seven-week pregnancy.
Planned Parenthood issued a statement Thursday night that it was working with the young woman's family to look into the cause of death.

Near Disaster for Dixie Chicks
From FOXNews.com - Foxlife - Dixie Chicks' Plane Clips Building During Landing:
"The wing of a plane carrying the country band the Dixie Chicks clipped the side of a building after the jet landed at Glasgow Airport Friday afternoon, their spokeswoman said.
The Texas trio had just arrived from Dublin on a private, twin-engine plane for an evening concert at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Center in Glasgow.
'The girls are all absolutely fine,' their publicist, Barbara Charone, said from London. 'I'm sure it wasn't pleasant. The incident happened when part of the wing just hit a corner of the building.'
She said the band would go ahead with the concert"

Richest Americans
Happy Days are here again...
Bill Gates is at the top of the list with 46 billion and that could lead one to conclude that computers are the way to wealth. But the reality is that the richest person, if he were alive would be Sam Walton and his heirs are worth 20.5 billion each (and there are five of them). So discount department store/warehouse is the way to go...because Mr. Sam would be worth a whopping 102 billion if he were still around.

Arafat Threatens Suicice
I wonder if he'll kill himself if he "thinks" they are going to try to expell or kill him. If so they might do something to let him do the dirty work.
From New Zealand News - World - Arafat threatens suicide over expulsion:
"Israeli forces killed a Hamas militant during a firefight with gunmen in the Gaza Strip yesterday, hours after Palestinian President Yasser Arafat said he would kill himself if Israel tried to expel or kill him.
Israeli soldiers shot and killed Jihad Abu Swerah, 34, a senior activist in the Izz-el-Deen al-Qassam armed wing of Hamas during an operation to arrest him at his home in central Gaza, military sources said. "

The Miracle of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
From
The Spectator.co.uk:
"We also met the miracle lady herself. Monica Besra is an illiterate tribal woman, mother of five children, who appears composed and elegant as she recounts her story. She was suffering from headaches, fever and a large abdominal lump, which, after she had spent several months intermittently taking anti-tubercular medicines and visiting a variety of doctors, was getting worse. She could no longer afford any more treatment and, in a very weak condition, was taken to the Missionaries of Charity home in Patiram for rest. Besra thought that she was going to die. On 5 September 1998, the first anniversary of Mother Teresa’s death, the nuns prayed for her recovery and placed on her stomach a small medallion that Mother Teresa had once touched. In the morning the lump had disappeared. It is the speed of her recovery that makes her cure inexplicable, according to Professor Bonomo, head of the Vatican Medical Board. It must also be declared spontaneous, complete and permanent before being considered by the Theological Board: it was.
Besra’s version of events is convincing. Those with faith say it is a divine miracle wrought by the intercession of Mother Teresa; others maintain that science will one day have the answer for what happened, even if it does not yet. "
