She stole my hair

Here’s something interesting: Twelve-Year-Old Girl Wows Convention Delegates. The best part is when she gets on Cheney’s case:

“When our vice president had a disagreement with a Democratic senator, he used a really bad word,” Ilana said. “If I said that word, I would be put in a timeout. I think he should be put in a timeout.”

It seems that this girl founded kidsforkerry.org. Wow.

Live Yellow

The Lance Armstrong Foundation has been selling yellow wristbands in the effort to raise five million dollars for cancer research. I bought five when they first started selling them. It looks like they are on back order now. I had to chuckle over this Sports Illustrated news item:

“OLN missed live coverage of Lance Armstrong crossing the finish line in Sunday’s final Tour de France stage. OLN had to rely on the footage of the French production company that controlled the world feed, which focused on the mass sprint to the finish ahead of Armstrong. The French said its cameraman tried to swing back to catch the American champion, but the camera got caught on his yellow Livestrong bracelet.”

I thought that was kind of cool.
