South African track champion Caster Semenya leaves no doubts about her running ability on the track, winning the 800 meter race at the world championship. But the question is, is she a she, or a he? Amazingly, experts say medical tests are extra-complicated, could well prove inconclusive and so it may be impossible to tell the runner's sex.
No, it's not as simple as seeing if Caster prefers the Lifetime channel to Three Stooges reruns. Maybe an expert in this field should be called in, like Pat from Saturday Night Live...

Michael Vick is now out of jail for his actions in dog fighting, torture and killing dogs. He was given a "second chance" in the NFL by the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Brett Favre was introduced by the Minnesota Vikings head coach/chauffeur Brad Childress, as their new quarterback, giving Favre his 16th "second chance". Good luck Brett, now how long until John Madden must unretire to call Favre's games?!?...====== Dot Dot Dot ======
On a related but sickening note, in this week of "second chances", Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi was released by Scotland and returned back to a hero's welcome in Libya. He is being looked at by the Philadelphia Eagles to be a receiver, because "everyone deserves a second chance!" but would just be carried by the Birds on their Taxi Squad aka their BOMB squad...====== Dot Dot Dot ======
This CrankShaft strip was in this week's Sunday comics. Other than Dilbert, I don't know of any good comic strips any more, but THIS one, is it supposed to be funny? or?? what IS that mailbox made of, so CrankShaft won't backup into it? That might be the weirdest ending to a comic I can remember. Someone please 'splain this one to me! or send a better last scene, then whatever is on the mailbox, something like...

Hurricane Bill is nearing the US after a brush with Bermuda. Ironically, former president Bill Clinton was vacatoning there with wife Hilary Clinton. When asked if she was leaving because of Bill's actions, she blew up at the reporter, asking "You want me to tell you what my husband does and thinks? That was years ago, and I'm here and Monica is, not. Leave me alone!" She then stormed off, like she did last week in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJEMX_iuCXEBut, uhm, Mrs Clinton, uhm, they were asking uhm, about Hurricane Bill...

The Federally funded "Cash For Clunkers" program comes to an end next Monday night at 8pm. While the sure bet there is that my car will die on TUESDAY, there are bigger troubles in Washington. Obama slammed the "outrageous myths" about health care this week, saying these are all lies produced by conservatives. The next day he introduced the new wheelchair that will start being supplied by Medicaid. "We will cut the cost of wheelchairs in half with the new UniChair". It's not clear at this point if he was serious or just wanted to kick back, have a few beers with Michelle, and watch to see the veins pop in the necks of conservatives on Fox News. Hey, a president needs entertainment too!...

The six-hour stranding of Continental Express Flight 2816 has grabbed the attention of the Obama administration and Congress. Feds say the Regional carrier, not the crew, was at fault in the plane's tarmac stranding. The presiden
t is calling for an immediate merger with Roto-Router for the next airline having a long tarmac delay. In the mean time, all passengers are to find the personal declogger device (PDD) shown here, below their seats. Vice President Joe Biden says he REALLY won't advise his family to fly now, unless Joe the Plumber is on board!...====== Dot Dot Dot ======
