Re: Gordon\'s Confession [ QUOTE ] !!!!.....but in their defense i guess thats what happens when you jump out of your car & have a mike shoved in your face....... [/ QUOTE ] Excellent point. Other than making for good TV, there is no reason that they shouldn't allow the drivers a little time to collect themselves & their thoughts before being thrust into the spotlight.

Okay, who all heard Jeff Gordon admit during the pre-race yesterday that he is a whiner. Fox was doing an interview with him about his new wine that he has coming out and asked him about the connection people would make between wine & whine. And his answer was that he was a whiner.

Grizzly Bear Kills Couple At Alaska Campsite POSTED: 6:31 am CDT June 27, 2005 ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Two people camping along the Hulahula River in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge were killed by a grizzly bear, officials said Sunday. Officials discovered the bodies and an unused firearm in a tent Saturday at a campsite near the river. They also shot and killed the animal. The couple, whose names were not released, was believed to be in their late 50s or early 60s, North Slope Borough police said. They were from Anchorage and had been on a recreational rafting trip down the river, Alaska State Troopers said. The victims were in their tent when the attack occurred, according to Tim DeSpain, spokesman for Alaska State Troopers. The campsite was clean, with food stored in bear-proof containers. "The initial scene indicates that it was a predatory act by the bear," DeSpain said. A rafter had seen the animal at the site and notified authorities. The couple's injuries were consistent with a bear attack and there were no signs of foul play, said Kelly Alzaharna, a lieutenant with the North Slope Borough Police Department. There were no other people at the campsite, which was about 12 miles up river from Kaktovik, a community of about 300 on Barter Island and the only village in the refuge. Officials are not sure when the couple was killed

Some Residents Of Hitler Road Want Street Name Changed POSTED: 8:54 am CDT June 23, 2005 CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio -- It's not hard to remember Jim White's address. He's one of the people who lives on Hitler Road in Circleville, Ohio. The folks in the area are used to questions and strange looks about the street name. Hitler Road predates the Nazi dictator. Long before Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany, the Pickaway County Hitlers were well-known farmers in Circleville and have three roads named after them. Some residents would like the street names changed. But not White. He's a World War II infantry veteran and said at least the Hitler street is one of a kind.
