July 10th 2006

Hi everybody;
Yes, the World Cup is over, for Americans it is like any other day, for the rest of the world is going back to hell. In a Latino household, like in the Clinton’s family, the woman wears the pants and the man keeps them down, (actually that is only Bill). The world cup represents the only event in the world that would let men get away with family chores and be understood by the wife:
"Sorry Hun, I can’t take the garbage out, they are showing the best 100 corner kicks of the world cup only the ones shot with the left foot"
"Oh I’m sorry I can’t fold the clothes right now the top 10 plays of the Iranian team are on TV with the music of Pavarotti"
"You can pick up the kids, I am gonna stay home and watch Ivory Coast Vs Argentina, they are playing the entire game in slow motion...."
We were powerful! We would be able to get away with everything because it was the World Cup, and the wife, girlfriend, mother , they all understand we live for this. But now it is all over, we have to back to the daily routine, we have no excuses, life has no meaning.... "hold on honey, I’m writing jokes, I can’t do the laundry now , let me fini................

Pirates of the Caribbean
The "Pirates of the Caribbean'' sequel this weekend, had the most profitable opener in movie history. Movie critics agree it is a great a film and reflects vividly what happened in the latest presidential elections in Mexico.

Former Texas Congressman Tom DeLay suggested that he may not be ready for retirement just yet. Delay said that if a judge determines that his name remains in the November ballot in the 22nd Congressional district race, he might start a campaign to race money and run again. After hearing the news, Disney announced the production of Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

World Cup
Italy beat France and won the soccer world cup. Italians all over the world celebrated the victory. In America, Italians were so happy that yesterday nobody was killed in New Jersey .

Zinedine Zidane, the most famous French player, was named the best player of the world cup despite of an incident in the last game against Italy in which Zidane head-butted an Italian defender and was shown the red card. Nobody in the press believed his excuse, the French player claimed he did it so he could hit the showers first before they get too crowded with the other French players.

Former president Bill Clinton attended the final game of the world cup. Apparently Clinton is a huge soccer fan, he loves the elegance of players dodging other players to score, more or less what he has to do with Hillary , to dodge her to leave the house and be able to score.

According to a survey most Americans were not interested in the world cup. One of the few hooked up on this event was radio host Rush Limbaugh who celebrated the end of the world cup and is now waiting anxiously the return of the prostitutes that traveled to Germany.

Ken Lay
A cloud of suspicions surrounds the death of former Enron CEO Ken Lay. Some people believed the heart attack he had was caused by some pills he took to induce his death. Many Republicans want to investigate and learn the name of those pills in case they are convicted too.
