It seems a little odd that just churches would get money to improve their facades while other places wouldn't in context of upgrading for a superbowl. I think I find it actually more offensive that tax money goes for improvement of areas in anticipation of sports events while we can't seem to find enough money to fund social programs. I wonder how much money has been spent over the years in anticipation of sports events compared to how much money was spent on the levees in New Orleans?

It was a good show, HBK was fighting but some guy jumped over the fence and attacked him! I don't know what happened, but apparently the guy shouted ''You screwed bret'' and then jumped. What a plonker. He fought on though.<br /> <br /> Met most of them in the Hilton after the event. Matt Striker is really cool. Big Show is huge! lol.
