After falling behind to Washington State 21-7 yesterday, UCLA battled back to within a two point conversion, before losing 31-29. UCLA coach Karl Dorrell said of the gutty little Bruins:
We showed a lot of character fighting back into it.
After the game, 20 or 30 of the Bruins, ignored the traditional handshake at midfield and bolted for the locker room.

THE GOOD

In a story that simply boggles what's left of my mind, a two-year-old Pacoima girl is being treated for severe burns over more than half her body after she fell, HEADFIRST, into a large pot of hot soup during a party Saturday night.

So, how will Tuesday play out? I have no idea, but that has never stopped me from making wild, outlandish predictions before, and it won't stop me now.
Being an eternal optimist, I get the sense that the electorate is trending, if not toward the political ideas of Senator Kerry, away from the scare tactics of President Bush.

On tonight's McLaughlin Group, the panel was asked to predict who would win the most electoral votes on Tuesday.
PATRICK BUCHANAN: Four more years, Bush.
ELEANOR CLIFT: Kerry.
TONY BLANKLEY: Bush, by a whisker.
LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: John Kerry.

My inside sources tell me that the the Kent State Golden Flashes, fresh off their 42-16 thumping of Ohio University, would accept an offer to play in the FedEx Orange Bowl come January.

In news that will undoubtedly have Matt Welch weeping like a fat kid who missed the ice cream truck, the Anaheim Angels announced they won't be bringing back his favorite Angel, third baseman Troy Glaus.

Much like the country, when it comes to the presidential election, my family is also evenly divided. Here's the tally:
ME: (Registered in California) Of course, I'll be voting not so much for Senator John Kerry, but against President George W. Bush.

While driving home from work, I often listen to a little bit of the Michael Savage show, which is often good for a giggle or two. It's pretty clear, what with the way 'Dr.' Savage is hawking the Stolen Honor DVD that he and other wingers are getting a tad desperate over the upcoming election. Consider this call from a sobbing woman the other day:

Last year, I became addicted to Arrested Development, and was left hanging until Fox decided to renew the much acclaimed but little watched comedy. This season looks like more of the same with Jack & Bobby. While Jack & Bobby has already been renewed for next season, it appears that I may be the only person watching the critically successful program.

One of the good things about living in California is that we voters long ago decided that we'd rather eat our own heads than give President Bush our 55 electoral votes. Since the race out here is not even close, the candidates are not wasting money putting commercials on local TV.

I don't know why I was excited about the premier of The West Wing. Considering how staggeringly dull it was last year, I really had no reason to think that there would be any improvement in the show.
However, I was excited, and once again I was utterly bored by the formerly great show. NBC keeps promoting The West Wing with the phrase 'Change Is Coming.'

Over the weekend, President Bush told a crowd of supporters in Florida that he is the best protection from the draft. That's not true. Bush's dad was the protection from the draft.
