Ian Thorpe

Do you know how much Ian Thorpe trains every day? Here is what the official website of 2004 Olympics says about his training regime:

He does 10 sessions a week, five in the morning and five in the afternoon. His day starts with his alarm going off at 4:17 am and he is in the pool by 5:00 am. He also does two weight training and two boxing sessions each week.

Iranian judoka vs Israeli athlete

An Iranian judoka who won 2001 and 2003 championship withdrew from 2004 Olympics before participating in even a single competition, because he was supposed to fight against an Israeli athlete. The general policy of Iranian government is not to fight against any Israeli athlete since Iran doesn't recognize Israel as a country. In other words Iran doesn't recognize Israel's right to exist. But the interesting point is that if the Iranian judoka refuses to fight against Israeli athlete for political reasons he will face very tough sanctions. To resolve this problem the official reason reported to the International Judo Federation was that he is overweight!!

Filp Flopper

As you know Bush accuses Kerry of being flip flopper. Once Bush said "Thank God that every issue has just 2 sides, otherwise Kerry would take the third side as well!". I was wondering if Bush supporters managed a google bomb or not but actually I faced with Flip-Flopper-in-Chief!! However I'm not sure that is a google bomb since it should be check in different times. You have probably heard of various google bombs in the past. Let me mention some of them: WMD, Worst President, Miserable Failure, Unelectable.

Although Tom Ridge, Homeland Security Secretary, earns $175700 a year he is not satisfied. He says he needs more money in order to send his children to college.

If he can't afford to send his children to college how can the rest of Americans put their children through college. Your thoughts??

Al Sharpton in DNC
