Short Takes

The Nascar race is in Richmond Saturday night. This is the best race in Nascar. It has speed and finesse. Here is the projected finish. 1) Harvick 2) Stewart 3) Matt Kenseth 4) Kyle Busch 5)Kurt Busch. A couple of longshots that will do pretty well are Joe Nemechek and Robbie Gordon.

Do you wonder what Keith Richards was doing in a palm tree? Boy does he look bad. He reminds me of my first girlfriend in Orleans.

Dwight in "The Office" should get some kind of award. He is unbelieveable. Did you see the show called "Dwight's Speech"? Last Thursday was a classic with the "Drug Test".

Won't it be something to see the Clippers beat the Lakers in the next round of the playoffs. Should be fun but I think the Clippers can take them.

Leon Jackson is back on the NU football team.

Aaron Marsden will play for the Lincoln Saltdogs this year. He is better than his performances the past couple of years. Look for him to play well and draw some nice crowds to Haymarket Park. Pete Rose Jr. who played for the Saltdogs a couple of years ago will spend time in prison for the distribution of steroids.

In May the "DaVinci Code" comes out at the movies starring Tom Hanks. There will be large counts at the theatres for this one. I just hope people remember it is highly fictional.

Senator John McCain is endorsing Tom Osborne. We saw him at the Phoenix Raceway last week. I guess our talk with him paid off. He did the worst "Gentlemen, start your engines I have ever seen."

60-65% of the math and science students who get their masters are recent immigrants to the US. Will we lose our "brains" if we keep them out? Where are the kids that live here in the US? Experts say they have lost their ambition. We need to change that as leaders in our communities.
