PGH: New Home for Captured Terrorists

George W. Bush looked across the table. Dick Cheney tapped his fingers and looked over at Donald Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld looked through the folder that was open before him.

"Mr. President," Rumsfeld said, "if we go through with their demands, we'll be on the defensive from this point forward."

The President said, "Look, Dan..."

"That's Don, sir," said the Secretary of Defense.

"Right. Dan. Gotcha. Anyway, we don't have to give in to what Durbin and those clowns say," the President said. "But it's always good to have a backup plan for everything. And Gitmo is no exception."

Rumsfeld pondered for a minute. "Mr. President, it's going to be difficult finding a place that's under U.S. control yet is in a backward area where we can do as we wish with prisoners."

"Let's get that Jack Bauer fellow on the phone. He's knows how to deal with terrorists and can sure get information from prisoners. We need more like him," said the President.

"Uh, Mr. President, you do know that Jack Bauer ..." Rumsfeld began.

Cheney reached over and tapped Rumsfeld on the arm. He shook his head quickly. Rumsfeld remained quiet.

"Get him on the phone, Dan!" the President ordered.

Rumsfeld picked up the phone and looked at Cheney. Cheney shrugged his shoulders. Rumsfeld started dialing numbers at random.

---

The phone rang and I hit mute on the remote. I grabbed the cordless
and looked at the screen, but didn't recognize the number. Oh well,
this ought to be fun, I thought.

"Hello?"

"Let me speak to Bauer, please," came the voice on the other end.

"This is basil," I said.

"Can I please speak to Jack Bauer," the voice said.

Yep. This was intersting indeed.

"Uhhhh ... speaking," I said.

There was a noticable pause. Then, "Hold for the President."

This was getting better all the time.

"Agent Bauer?" came a different voice.

"Yes sir," I said.

"We need your help, Jack" came the voice.

The voice told me about needing a replacement for Gitmo. That was
priceless! So, I figured I'd go along with a gag, and started talking.
And didn't stop for a full ten minutes.

Afterwards, the voice thanked me and rang off. I hit the mute button
and caught the last few minutes of a "Law & Order" rerun.

---

"I knew that Jack Bauer would have the answer," said President Bush.

Cheney and Rumsfeld looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

Cheney asked, "What's the plan, Mr. President?"

Catfish: First Half Ends

The Catfish closed out the first half of the 2005 South Atlantic League season dropping their second straight 1-run game to the Rome Braves, 4-3. The 1-run loss was the 17th this season.

Our two players had good games today. Lucas May had a double and two RBIs. Dan Batz had two hits to lead the team.

Tomorrow, Dan leaves for home for a few days because of a family illness. Keep him and his family in your prayers.

The rest of the team has an off day, then return to action Tuesday with a three-game home series against the Greenville Bombers (Red Sox) as the second half begins.

Everyone starts with a 0-0 record. Ain't baseball great?!
