Bush made a joke about weapons of mass destruction not being found in Iraq at a late-night dinner for Amerian journalists yesterday. Mr Bush poked fun at himself and other members of his administration at the annual White House dinner for Radio and Television correspondents in Washington. In one, he showed a picture of him down on all fours rummaging under a desk in the Oval Office, saying "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere." It was quickly followed by another similar picture. "Nope, no weapons over there," he said. In his four years on the national and international stage, Mr Bush has often been ridiculed for his tendency to muddle sentences and confuse words - and even invent new ones. He made this tendency the butt of another of his jokes, saying: "Fortunately my verbal phonation and electrocution have improved." There was a shot of Vice President Dick Cheney, a frequent butt of gentle Bush ribbing, holding his fingers a few inches apart. Mr Bush said: "Whenever you ask him a question, he replies: 'Let's see what my little friend says'." And there was Mr Bush again, in an odd contortion in front of his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice. He said he was trying to explain to her the foreign policy of Democratic challenger John Kerry. His slide show segued into a sombre ending, showing a group of special forces troops in Afghanistan at the site where they buried a piece of the fallen World Trade Centre in commemoration of the dead from September 11. About 1500 guests attended the dinner. Asked at a news conference if the weapons issue was an appropriate matter for jokes, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declined to comment, saying he had not been at the dinner. The Bush administration launched a war a year ago against Iraq with its prime justification being its accusation that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Searches since the fall of former dictator Saddam Hussein so far have not turned up such arms. The chief US inspector, David Kay, said in January he thought it was unlikely any would be found.

Alabama ova Syracuse 14-6 early.

He was also a pitcher back in high school I believe, but he's just an outfielder now.

Damn, put sum shorts on Robin.

Looks like it's Oklahoma St. goin thru. Up by 8 with 3 mins left.

Sum1 needs to make Steve a siggy with a Sprite Can in it.

Well Hot Dog, we hav a weiner.

I still can't really see Uribe leadin off though, espeically for Ozzie.

Pittsburgh tied with Oklahoma St. 42-42. 8 mins left. Looks like this one will go down to da wire. I need Pitt to win.

I also think Brian Anderson is bein very hard done by here. He's got the best tools out of all 3 outfielders, he just hasn't put up as good as performances as Redd last season and Sweeney this spring training. But he hasn't disappointed any1 so far.

From Gamespot, A Los Angeles casting call hints at the forthcoming Rockstar game's story line. Officially, Rockstar treats the plotline of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas like a state secret. However, its efforts to cast voice actors have revealed clues about the upcoming PlayStation 2 game's story, including the names of several characters. Two weeks ago, veteran casting director David Vaccari, who has worked on films such as The Bone Collector and Finding Forrester, placed a listing on the Los Angeles-based agency Shadowfax under the "Interactive/Home Videos/Video Games" category. The project advertised is listed as "ROCKSTAR - GRAND THEFT AUTO" and offers reading scripts for three roles--"Maccer," "Mad Dogg," and "Maria." On the top of the role's reading script, Maccer is described as a "Manchester-born white male, 22." The dialogue also gives a taste of Maccer's personality, since it is taken from the 1999 film Human Traffic, which followed a group of young British clubbers on a drug-fueled night of partying. Coincidentally, Moff, the character who uttered the lines in the film, was played by Danny Dyer, the actor who voiced Kent Paul in Vice City. The next character, Mad Dogg, is described as "Black American Male, 23." Judging by the script, Mad Dogg will not be the paradigm of social responsiblity. His lines are those of O-Dog, the homicidal teenager played by Larenz Tate in the 1993 classic Menace II Society, and are drenched in hardcore profanity and mid-'90s gangsta slang. Last comes Maria, referred to in the script as a "young Italian female." The script is taken from the 1988 film Colors, which focused on two Los Angeles police officers' efforts to stem the rising tide of gang warfare. The lines were borrowed from Maria Conchita Alonso's Louisa Gomez, the Hispanic love interest of Senn Penn's rookie LAPD officer in the film. Although Rockstar did not respond to inquires about the characters, several other details about GTA: San Andreas' plot can be inferred from the scripts. First, given the vintage of the films and the modern vernacular, the game will take place in semi-contemporary times, as opposed to the 1970s-set game some had speculated. Second, the film will feature a West-Coast gangsta prominently, perhaps even as the lead.

It's by Phil Rogers, not sure if it's the old one he wrote, but it was from today so I'd thought I'd post it. Guillen: This kid is special

I don't like his .OBP one bit, which is why Harris gets the nod as our 2B.

Pretty sure he owns Pro Player Stadium, so the Marlins aren't gettin all the revenue from their home games.

That's why they need that new ballpark so bad. Wayne Huizenga is screwin them ova big time.

Spivey's makin 3 to 3.5million this year. Brewers are desperate for bullpen help, I wonder if they would take sum1 like Sanders, Ginter or Adkins for Spivey. I don't think we can fit him into our payroll however, and Spivey's not really a leadoff hitter as well. Vidro will prob be a Yankee by the end of the season.

At least now Texas is headed on the right path. They know signin guys like Chan Ho Park to $75 million contracts will bring nothing but trouble in the future. They are trying to develop young pitching, which is what they really needed to do in the 1st place. Sorinao is expendable, because they alrady hav the 2 Young's playing 2B and SS, plus they hav sum good young outfield prospects who can possibly play CF.

Lee couldn't use his power abilities in Florida, only hit bout 26 homers there last year I think. He should hit at least 40 this year at Wrigley. Plus he was always goin to be dealt because of the payroll issues the Marlins had.

I think any of the Mets top pitchin prospects would hav been discussed especially if they couldn't hav Kazmir.

Long term, I'll say Sweeney.

We need 1 more team, by Saturday, othawise we can't draft.

UAB ova Kansas.

I think they wouldn't giv up Scott Kazmir or Royce Ring in any possible deal for Soriano.

I thought Roberts would go to da Cards, but then Hairston got injured, and the Cards picked up Tony Womack.
