ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan is banning purses and all other bags from Michigan Stadium for security reasons, and the Pittsburgh Pirates are planning additional screening measures, too.

The University of Michigan said Wednesday it will require written permission from a medical professional before allowing any bags into the football stadium for Saturday's game against Indiana.

Recent arrests in Colorado and New York related to a terrorism probe touched off a flurry of national security bulletins. Michigan said in a statement that "adjusting security measures is the prudent thing to do."

School safety Deputy Chief Charlie Noffsinger said Michigan hasn't received information on any specific threats but acted after consulting with federal officials.

In Pittsburgh, the Pirates are tightening security because of the recent warnings and the G-20 summit Thursday and Friday at the downtown David L. Lawrence Convention Center, across the Allegheny River from PNC Park.

The Pirates play the Reds on Thursday afternoon and the Dodgers on Friday night.

"Even though we do not expect any issues during the G-20 summit, we have boosted the number of security personnel in and around the ballpark," Pirates spokesman Jim Trdinich said. "We will have additional screening with metal detecting wands at the gates for precautionary reasons."

I am so, so fucking insensed that I that I feel Ican be coherent, even minimally, in this post.

 

That scumbag, Bill O'Rielly, who is a life form lower tha whale shit on the bottom of the sea, has opined that: "I am not ready to join a lynching party against Macheil Obama, UNLESS..." he is given true evidence or hard facts that  "... she really feels like she has said she does."  What she said was "...For the first time in my adult life I am REALLY proud of my country."

 

O'Riely is prepared to joinging and espouses the lynching of a potential and probable first lady of AUSPOTA [go google it] for stating her deeply felt pride of or in her nation.

 

Oh, the evil lunacy of the retrograde fananical unenlightened despotic klepto egregious rightwing [Fudker] Republicans.

I haven't really been paying attention to Michigan's basketball team much this season, but I did see that they lost to Harvard yesterday.  Harvard?  Yikes!  Of all the things Harvard is known for, I don't think its basketball team is among them.  To add insult to injury, Harvard is now coached by former Michigan coach Tommy Amaker.  It sounds like it's not going to be a very great season.

Busy day today.  Going to the football game right now, and then when the game is over I'm going over to the hockey game. 

The weekend has gone by much too quickly. Friday night Lindsey and I went out to eat at Zanzibar, then went back to my place to watch some movies.  Saturday consisted of a couple art exhibits during the day, and then going to Score Keepers to watch the Michigan game.  That was certainly a good time, and nothing I've ever done before.  Good thing Michigan won!  People went crazy. :)

I slept in this morning and had a nice, leisurely breakfast.  Now I think I might head over to the book store for awhile and just relax.
