Holy Dream

For world news I depend primarily on what is self-called "America's finest newspaper," namely, "The Onion." I like this recent report from the paper: Tonight in Las Vegas, former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield fights the racehorse, Evening Dream. Good gallup, that's a fight I gotta see! Despite his age (about 45), Holyfield is still a physical marvel, and he should present himself as a decent opponent in their 12-round bout. It reminds me of the rumor(?) back in the '50s that then-heavyweight champ Rocky Marciano had knocked out a bull in an exhibition match. But this Holyfield-Dream fight is for real, not an exhibition.

Gotta go to the store for my beer and popcorn.
