Robert Ziegler tackles the issue of American’s and conservative’s aversion to Soccer over at National Review Online.

I myself love soccer and have played it for a number of years. I currently play on both an indoor and outdoor team. I enjoy watching soccer live and on TV. The one drawback is MLS lacks, for me, the rivalry and history of say the NFL. I watch it when I can but I am not a devoted TV watcher.

The World Cup, however, is a different story. I love watching it. The soccer is wrold class, the excitement and competition is unmatched, and the fans go crazy. The skill, agility, speed, and toughness of the players, already amazing at the MLS level, is awesome at the World Cup. It really is the beautiful game.

The only problem ifor me are the match times )they are early in the morning US time) and my lack of cable TV. The Columbus Crew MLS organization is going to be showing matches at the stadium with free refreshments, however, so I think I will take advatage of that - free food and crazy soccer fans!

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

I have added a google search feature to the Kevin Holtsberry Dot Com Empire! you can get it at the top of the front page or you can click on the link to the right.

Either way you can search these pages to find the “must have” information you are looking for or play around in a fruitless attmept to stem the tide of boredom.

BTW, I have added a Corante News feed and an Amazon.com Storefront to the page for your viewing pleaseure as well. Search, surf, shop - it is all there.

Here is a shocker: Cleveland bookkeeping a mess! Cleveland, that city known for its efficiency and integrity? How can this be?

All joking aside, If I lived there I would be ticked off. The state auditors report paints a rather damning picture of city finances. One particularly egregious example:

One of the audit’s major findings was that Cleveland’s lax investing practices resulted in poor returns.
If the city had followed the lead of Cuyahoga and Geauga counties, it would have reaped an extra $1.3 million last year. Those governments earned an average of 5.48 percent, compared with Cleveland’s 5.26 percent.
Petro said the city was not aggressive in seeking high yields, and he marveled that the city keeps some money in accounts that bear no interest.
“That’s crazy,” he said.

I agree. If the only thing newly elected Mayor Jane Campbell can do is get a handle on this, then she will have succeeded.

Good times here at Ideas, etc. I just found out I have been linked by Townhall.com’s The Conservative Log or C-Log. Cool. If you haven’t already, check it out.

Life is funny, no? No sooner am I done complaining about the lame stats, etc. than I get a link from Instapundit.com!

My birthday wish comes true a week late! I take back half the things I said about Glenn . . .
