Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has started a foundation to help victims of abuse.

So far the foundation has aided two Miami Dolphins players and a New York Knick.

U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., said President George W. Bush's criticism on Thursday of Congress' $555 billion spending bill is "sour grapes.

That's not even close to an appropriate usage. Sour grapes are grapes you wanted, and when you found you couldn't get them, you said, well, I didn't really want them anyway, they're probably sour. Or if you're a Phillies fan who really wanted to sign Andruw Jones, and when Jones signed with the Dodgers, you say, he's going to suck again like he did in 2007. That's sour grapes.

Answer is in your question.

Except when you don't, in which case it probably wasn't worth learning anyway.

Coffee mug that says "World's Greatest Mom." Seriously, what are her interests? Has she hinted about something she wants? How much do you want to spend?

I got my Mom a vacuum cleaner. I understand that's a no-no for wvies or girlfriends, but I guess it's OK for a Mom. Who really knows?

Me too. There seems to be a lot of really bad and mediocre teams this year compared to previous years. Of course, the Eagles not playing well certainly didn't inspire me to watch.

For the last 4 years or so, I've been making a charitable contribution in my parents' name.

I had to call the cops today because some customer at work had a gun drop out of his pocket. He didn't even notice and it was just sitting there in the aisle where any kid could have picked it up. We gave it back to him and he just sat back down like nothing happened. He didn't have a license to carry a concealed weapon in PA, so they arrested him. On one hand, I feel bad about the guy getting arrested, but on the other hand, how dumb and careless do you have to be to have a loaded gun fall out of your pocket without noticing. I hope he doesn't pop a cap in my a$$.
