Taylor Swift blasts Kanye West in SNL intro - no apology on symbol
Taylor Swift was on Saturday Night Live and I have to say performed really well. She was in eight skits, playing everything from a prison gang-banger to the friend of a bride at a wedding. But one place I didn't think Taylor would go in her monologue was to mention Kanye West, but not apologize for that Swastika photo. That took Taylor down a bit in my rating of her. If you remember, rapper Kanye West famously took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards as Swift was about to accept ... Read Full Story
Cal v. Oregon State - After loss, Cal fans dread Stanford's success
The stage was set for Cal's BCS rise and a realistic shot at the Pac-10 Championship. Earlier Saturday, The Stanford Cardinal ran all over Oregon 51 - 42, and did what I and other Cal fans wanted but many believed impossible: give Oregon a second loss. Notre Dame was surprised by the play of a Navy team that showed heart and lost 23 to 21, tossing it out of the BCS race. Iowa, which won close games they arguably should have lost, was upset by Northwestern, 17 to 10, for their first def... Read Full Story
Cal's Jahvid Best suffer major injury in Oregon State game
Jahvid Best, Cal's Heisman Trophy candidate is, sadly as I write this, on the way to a hospital having suffered a major injury in today's game against Oregon State. With 2:06 and Cal on the Oregon State three yard line in the second quarter, Best took the handoff from Cal QB Kevin Riley, turned around left end and as he was about to score a touchdown, jumped in the air. As he was airborne he was hit by OSU Safety Cameron Collins, who threw Best with his left hand as Best was in the air. ... Read Full Story

Ian McKellen rips out Bible pages of Leviticus..for a reason
Taking a bit of a break from what's frankly a hard chore of paying attention to shooting (Fort Hood), after shooting (Orlando), after shooting (Tokyo) to share a bit of light news.

He rips out a specific page of the Bible from Leviticus, Chapter 18, verse 22, which reads: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womanki... Read Full Story
