She wasn't being careful with her words on advice from her attorney. I think she feels the weight of her lies. I agree with you, Michael.

Yesterday I watched Marion Jones’ shot at it. For the first time I saw an apology that appeared to me to be heartfelt and genuine. No “I’m sorry for what happened”. No “It’s time to move on”. She stated her sin, she expressed her sorrow for having committed it and her sorrow at having hurt those who trusted her. While she didn’t (at least that I saw) mention the consequences (six months in the pokey) she didn’t try to weasel out of them either. So I’ll buy it. Besides, it’s returnable isn’t it?

They asked him: Can we eat and drink before the game?

Imam Berry advised them: It’s OK, but they must make it up after Ramadan. Also, they must travel on game days at least 22 miles outside their home city before afternoon prayers, and break the fast there.

One wonders what the special significance of ’22 miles’ is – but whatever.

And btw, as the ‘so-called Global Warming’ contingent always retorts, when someone snorts about sub-zero temps in March – “there is a difference between Climate and Weather”
