I know what beth meant, but it makes it look as if her nephew, although hearing Spanish and English at home, has spontaneously begun to speak Japanese!

Has anyone found a simple online guide to what World Cup games are being televised on major networks, during non-work hours? I'd like to watch some games, but have neither cable nor the sort of life that allows me to visit Brazilian pubs at 6am. And I am lacking google-fu today.

I spoke too soon: Sports Illustrated comes through [link]

Games tomorrow at 9 (Paraguay-England) and 12 (Sweden-Trinidad and Tobago), and Sunday at 11:30 (Ireland-Mexico) on ABC, to start.

Also, for anyone with XM, Channels 147 (Spanish) and 148 (English) are broadcasting all games. .pdf schedule

The only woman I hate almost as much as Ann Coulter and Michelle Milkin is Katherine Harris. I've loved watching her campaign implode and it just got worse for her. Harris's chief of staff quit. This is her 4th chief of staff.

This comes right after she's lost 2 campaign managers, a pollster, a chief strategist, a spokeswoman and a media adviser who worked with her for 10 years.

The Democrats jumped all over this by releasing a news release:

"If Katherine Harris can't accomplish the basic task of keeping a staff in place in her office, how can she be trusted to function as an advocate for Florida?"

Here's the full schedule of games on ABC (through game 48):

Jun 10 09:00 ET England v Paraguay
Jun 10 12:00 ET Trinidad & Tobago v Sweden
Jun 11 12:00 ET Mexico v Iran
Jun 17 12:00 ET Czech Republic v Ghana
Jun 17 15:00 ET Italy v United States
Jun 18 09:00 ET Japan v Croatia
Jun 18 12:00 ET Brazil v Australia
Jun 18 15:00 ET France v South Korea

I know a kid whose parents spoke French and Spanish to him at home (his mother is French, his father is Spanish) and went to an English preschool. (At the point when he started preschool, his parents weren't sure whether they'd be staying in the US long-term, but they knew they wanted him to speak French and Spanish, so they figured that, if they did stay in the US, he'd pick up English from teachers and other kids and TV.) For awhile, when he met a new adult, he'd try French, then try Spanish, then give up if neither was understood. With other kids, though, he'd speak in English. It took him a while to understand that English wasn't just a kids language.

Turns out, ongoing credit fraud is NOT an awesome way to end your first week of work. FYI. In case anyone was thinking about trying it out.

Ah shit, more tangles popping up?

One new account, that I actually think I saw on my credit report, and had on my to-do list, but hadn't gotten around to calling. Eh.

Ick. I was hoping you were done with that, Jesse.

I am not understanding the point system in the Group rounds of the World Cup and I can't find an explanation anywhere.
