Hockey season over- Real Work Begins

Thankfully, the Los Angeles Kings won Game 6 tonight to win their first ever Stanley Cup. Now the real work begins. It's about time that the Owners and Executives of the NHL stand up and throw out Gary Bettman as commissioner. He has done an awful job and put the sport so far under the radar screen it's amazing. Because he's an American, he doesn't understand the culture of hockey. If the NHL needs a Commissioner or President, it should be someone who understands both the Canadian and American viewpoints. Shouldn't the Canadian teams get together and try to throw him out? I don't know if the American teams are as interested in getting rid of Bettman, as they seem to do well financially under him.

Recall Elections: Useful exercises or Waste of Money?

Tomorrow in the State of Wisconsin, they are having a recall election: While everyone is focusing on the Governor's race, Scott Walker versus Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch is also being recalled. Hopefully Walker and Kleefisch will win.

In my opinion, should the Democrats and Big Union bosses lose tomorrow, there should be some sort of penalty given to them, beyond the shame of losing a recall election. I don't know the laws of Wisconsin well enough, but either a hefty fine or jail time might do the trick and make people think twice before recalling someone, just because you don't like them.
