11/13   In this midst of all this election news, don't people realize
        that there are more important news going on in the rest of the
        world. It's like the OJ Simpson trial all over again.
        \_ Tell me about it.  Except this seems much worse than OJ.
        \_ Yeah. Kasparov lost and no one noticed. Anyone else imagine
           the encounter between Kramnic (sp?) and Kasparov to be like
           the scene in Star Wars where Darth Vader fights Obi Wan?
                        \_ I noticed.   --PeterM
        \_ The irony is that Kramnic studied Karpov's games and therefore
                plays like Karpov but better. (Background info: Karpov was
                the Party-sponsored player in the 80s whereas Kasparov
                was "battling the odds", political and chess).

           Kramnic:  Your game is weak old man, you should not have come
                     back! When last we met I was the student and you were
                  it'd be funny if somebody filmed a parody of that chess game.
                     the grandmaster. NOW I AM THE GRANDMASTER!

           Kasparov: Only a grandmaster of EVIL, Kramnic!
               \_ LOL, I guess...the news networks are bored.
                  it'd be funny if somebody filmed a parody of that
                  chess game.
                  \_ The last game probably ended like this:

           Kasparov: Checkmate me now and I will become more powerful
                     than your wildest dreams!

           Kramnic:  CHECKMATE!

           (Kasparov's body disappers leaving only his jacket, Kramnic
            growls)

7/5     I think this is the first time a CA cop has EVER been put on trial
        for murdering a black man.
        \_ Really?  CA cop, or CA white cop?
        \_ The case marked the first murder prosecution of an on-duty Bay Area
           police officer. Prosecutors rarely file charges against police for
           shootings. A Chronicle review of police use-of-force cases around
