Some things to think about:

Over two-thirds of America's high school students could not find Iraq on a map.

Iran has announced their intention to wipe Israel "off the face of the Earth." Will someone please give their leaders a copy of "The wars of Israel, 1948-present"?

The number of soldiers returning from Iraq age 20-24 are unemployed at three times the national average. One theory (and it is only a theory) is that employers will not hire guardsmen because they can be shipped out again within six months.

Matt Leinart, now of the Arizona Cardinals, is dating Paris Hilton. Does anyone believe that Ms. Hilton will be spending much time in Phoenix? I've been to Phoenix. Nice enough town, just doesn't seem to strike me as a place where Paris Hilton would like to spend much time. But, on the upside for the Cardinals, her presence at games will almost certainly double attendance. My prediction? it lasts until about training camp opens. Her next victim? Tennis superstar Rafael Nadal.

The World Cup is fast approaching. Although I will cheer hard for the U.S., I must admit that my favorite team to watch is the Dutch, and their brand of soccer known as "total football." I remember watching them in the 1994 and 1998 world cups, losing both times to Brazil, by one goal. Their style of creating space, speed, swarming defense, and constant attacking is downright artful.

Now we know the true reason why Leinart dropped to 10.
