Squilky comments on the news...

Surfing the Web at work is equivalent to reading a newspaper or talking on the phone, an administrative law judge said in recommending the lightest possible punishment for a city worker accused of disregarding warnings to stay off the Internet.


Sweet!!! If they banned web surfing in the work place, I don't think anyone with computer access would still have a job. I remember when I was a kid, my dad and my sister would bring home photocopied jokes they got at work. So goofing off in the workplace has been going on for a while. It's probably just a lot more efficient and widespread thanks to the Al Gore and the Internet.

President Bush, under pressure about high gas prices, has ordered an investigation into possible cheating in the markets. During the last few days, Bush asked his Energy and Justice departments to open inquiries into whether gas prices are being illegally manipulated, said White House press secretary Scott McClellan. Bush plans to announce the action in a 10:05 a.m. ET speech.

It's about time! Everyone was pretty understanding when gas prices went up to around $3.00 a gallon when hurricane Katrina hit. Because we understood that the supply was lowered do to the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico being damaged. But when gas prices go up $.50 in a months time with no good reason, that's when people start to get pissed. I gassed up on Sunday. It cost me $50 to fill up my Xterra and get gas for my lawnmower and weedeater. Craziness. $200 a month to go to and from work. I think everyone understands there is a need to find alternative fuel methods, this past year has been an eye opener. But I honestly feel there is no reason why gasoline should be more than $2.00 a gallon. The only reason is greed.

Mets broadcaster Keith Hernandez was reprimanded by the team's television network for "inappropriate" remarks during a broadcast about a female member of San Diego's training staff.


The former MVP first baseman said women "don't belong in the dugout" when he spotted 33-year-old Kelly Calabrese, the Padres' full-time massage therapist, high-fiving Mike Piazza in the dugout after he hit a home run during New York's 8-1 victory Saturday in San Diego.


As much as I dislike Keith Hernandez, I have to say I am on his side here. First of all the Mets network knew what they were getting when they hired Hernandez. Hello!!! We've all seen his Just For Men commercials with Walt Clyde Frasier. We know Keith is a little rough around the edges. Secondly, women in a dugout is pretty innapropriate. Nothing good can come of having women in a mens dugout. In this litigeous world we live in, it's only a matter of time before some opportunistic, manipulative woman uses the opportunity to file a law suite against a filthy rich baseball player and/or team owner. Or some team gang bang will take place in the locker room. You put a woman in a comfined space with horny, juiced up athletes who are away from their wives and girlfriends, bad things are bound to happen. I'm shocked that Geno Auriemm has been able to keep his name clean after coaching womens basketball for so long.
