in the interests of proving I can still talk about something besides my wedding

So this morning I had SportsCenter going in the background while I was getting ready for work and I heard that W. called the coach of the U.S. World Cup team before their first game.

I swear my first thought was "I hope for the coach's sake he didn't tell him 'you're doing a heckuva job.'"

But no, apparently he told Mr. Coach to "give 'em hell," which got me wondering if Laura's made him a little card to carry around with him:

"Give 'em hell" in friendly international sports competition = GOOD
"Give 'em hell" to pissed-off insurgents with bombs = BAD

I'm thinking the "Give 'em hell" phrase was bad juju. They lost to the Czhechs.

My boyfriend, a born and bred Texan told me the other day that most Texans can't stand Bush... they only voted him for prez to get him the hell out of Texas and share him with the rest of the country for awhile... ;o)
