Vick - AP Comeback Player of Year? Fucking travesty.

"Come back" from what? Prison? The award should go to a player who "comes back" after having sub par years or "comes back" from an injury, not coming back after missing two seasons because the fucking loser served a federal sentence for murdering dogs. Hey, Associated Press writers...you're a fucking joke!

Eddie Adams - Vietnam through his lenses.

"No war was ever photographed the way Vietnam was, and no war will ever be photographed again the way Vietnam was photographed."
- Hal Buell, former Associated Press photo service chief

Photographer Eddie Adams died in 2004. None of his photographs - some world famous - documenting the Vietnam War have been made available in book form. Until now. NPR did a story on him yesterday.

BRETT FAVRE named FedEx Air Player of the Week (among other honors)!

For games played in Week 4 of the NFL Season.

Not surprisingly, Brett Favre has garnered his first NFL honors as the Jets' quarterback following his performance against Arizona on Sunday. Favre was also named the AFC's Offensive Player of the Week for his personal-best, team-record-tying six touchdown passes against Arizona and the Associated Press' (AP) NFL Player of the Week.

I was a bit disappointed in the GMC Defensive Player of the Week choice of Albert Haynesworth, DT, of the Tennessee Titans over Jets' Darrelle Revis, CB. Haynesworth recorded two sacks, six tackles and one pass defensed in the Titans' 30-17 win over the Vikings as Tennessee improved to 4-0. Revis intercepted Cardinals QB Kurt Warner twice, including a 32-yard return for a touchdown, as the Jets defeated the Cardinals, 56-35.

AHHH! Oh - look at the pretty colors. AHHH!

Saw this on the cover of The Wall Street Journal this morning. Pictured above are state government employees in India protesting, demanding pay increases and other concessions. The police are using COLORED-water cannons on the protesters.

Why the colored water...and why the purple-colored water? I'm sure there's a logical explanation. Maybe it makes the demonstrators happier as long as they're being blasted with colored, high-pressured water, thus making them more docile and easier to quell. Or maybe the AP photographer said, "I'm sorry but this isn't working for me. Could we have some teal - no, purple-ish, violet water instead of the regular water? Good. Now THAT's the India I wanna capture!"

It does make for a prettier picture.
