As Jon Stewart pointed out on last night\'s Daily Show, RNC Chairman Michael Steele is now opposing same-sex marriage on the grounds that it is somehow bad for small business. Unless, you know, the small business is a bakery, florist, dressmaker, tuxedo rental, reception hall, print shop, photography studio, DJ, limousine service, hotel, travel agency or divorce law firm. I guess they all vote Democrat.
Chelsea 1 - Barcelona 1 Champions League semi-final second leg, May 6, 2009 Michael Essien sent Stamford Bridge wild in the ninth minute with a brilliant left-footed volley that beat Valdes and crashed in off the bar. Early in the second half Drogba had a great chance to double Chelsea's lead but his shot was weak and too close to Valdes. With 25 minutes remaining Barca's task got harder when they were reduced to ten men, Eric Abidal sent off for a professional foul on Anelka - who clearly dived. Three minutes into injury time Andres Iniesta popped up with a cracking equaliser, a crucial away goal into the top corner, to crush Chelsea's dreams and send Barcelona into the dream final against Manchester United
Wigan 1 - Manchester United 2 Premier League, May 13, 2009 On a wet and filthy night in Wigan, Manchester United never looked assured in the early stages. And they fell a goal behind when a long Cattermole pass towards Hugo Rodallega popped up in the air when Vidic came into challenge, but the Colombian was quicker to regain his bearing when the ball landed to fired inside Van der Sar's near post. With United still looking flat after the break Fergie replace Anderson with Carlos Tevez and within four minutes the Argentine converted with a fantastic touch in box from a Carrick shot. With United upping their tempo as the match progressed finally the Red Devils took the lead when Michael Carrick arrowed a perfect left-footer into the top corner from O'Shea's pass.
