Support troops despite politics

Support troops despite politics

As I sat at my gate, a full two hours early eating a $5 McDonalds chicken sandwich that tasted like grilled dust, I began to rant inside my head. Why does flying have to be so difficult? Why do I always seem to get sexually harassed by the security guy? Since when does fast food chicken facsimile cost five bucks? I put in my headphones in an attempt to drown out my rage and prevent the voices in my head from overtaking me and inducing schizophrenia. I sat back in my blue plastic chair and stared straight ahead.

Despite the drenching storm that barrelled through much of Texas this weekend, the region still remains in a drought, officials say.Stacie Hanes, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said Fort Worth is ahead in rainfall for 2006, but it has not been enough to cancel out last year's deficit.

"Normally, we see about 6 inches of rain through March 20, but this year we have already seen over 10 inches," Hanes said. "So we are ahead of schedule for the year, but we still aren't caught up."

At this point, it's pretty much anything under the sun that can fit in a syringe.Just after the nationwide buzz about Bonds' grand jury testimony regarding his alleged steroid abuse was starting to settle down, two San Francisco Chronicle reporters relit the fuse on the steroids powder keg by releasing parts of their soon-to-be published book "Game of Shadows" to Sports Illustrated.

Counterpoint: Player's behavior ruins game

Counterpoint: Player’s behavior ruins game

Published Mar 10, 2006

It's a sad day for baseball fans.As I read Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams' article in Sports Illustrated Wednesday, which accuses mega-slugger Barry Bonds of rampant steroid use, I was reminded of the words Paul Simon wrote almost 40 years ago:

"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

What makes it such a sad day is not that baseball has forfeited another hero, it's that the game itself has lost what was left of its innocence.

Bands revive dance-rock trend

Published Mar 10, 2006

Dancing days are here again.In the mid-1960s, dancing and rock 'n' roll went hand in hand. Hits like "Louie Louie" and "Jailhouse Rock" transcended music genres.

Then in the late-1960s, dance music and rock seemed to go separate ways.

As rock music matured, artists began to explore and incorporate different styles of music into traditional rock 'n' roll, said Mark Sanford, music director for KOAI-FM, "The Oasis."

"Dance music went to Motown," Sanford said. "Rock went to blues and Southern country."
