Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard set bond at $51,000 on charges of misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging. Noting Henry’s previous arrests involving drugs, guns and alcohol, the judge called Henry “a one-man crime wave.” He ordered electronic monitoring if Henry makes bail.

Henry has had a string of problems with police. He was in court last week after being ticketed for driving with expired Kentucky license plates. He paid $149 in fines and court costs, according to the Municipal Court records. He was ticketed a year ago for driving with a suspended license.

Henry was arrested four times between December 2005 and June 2006. He was accused of possession of marijuana in northern Kentucky, carrying a concealed weapon in Florida, drunken driving in Ohio and providing alcohol to minors in northern Kentucky. In that case, he served two days in jail in 2006 after pleading guilty to a charge of letting minors drink alcohol in a hotel room he had rented.

That’ll be sweet, as far as tracking Chris electronically to see when the “one-man crime wave” will strike again.

“Oooh look, he’s getting close to some strip clubs…oh wait, crap, he’s just dropping off his dry cleaning. Hellooooo, he’s getting close to a school…shit, he drove right by.”

Not only has Mackey repeated as Iditarod champion, but for two years years now he’s won both The Last Great Race and the Yukon Challenge. That’s unheard of. Do we know if maybe his dog team is on HGH? Maybe Mackey was secretly videotaping the other dog sled teams running through their pre-race warmups. Someone call Arlen Specter!

Probably a good thing, as Tech had just set a record for the worst loss in school history less than a week earlier when it lost to Texas A&M by 44 points, so it’s not exactly like the 58 point loss to the Jayhawks came out of the blue.

Although it was a bit of an up and down week for Tech, as they lost by 44 to Texas A&M, then beat #5 Texas 83-80, then lost to Kansas 109-51. So for the week they were outscored by their opponents 287-188, set two team records for worst defeat ever, but also managed to sneak in a win against a top 5 team.

So, umm, terrible job Bobby Knight’s son. Or, umm, great job. I really have no clue who to blame the sucky Tech team on, or who to give credit for the non-sucky team that randomly decides to show up some nights and disappear others.

Heather is a native of North Dakota and raced in her first Idiraod Trail Sled Dog Race last year, finishing a respectable 56th. (Heck, just surviving is more than respectable.) I’m a little worried about her chances though from looking at her dog team: she has one pooch named Tweaty and another named Kitty. I thought champion sled dogs should have names like Thunder or Iron Claw or King. But then I’m a pasty couch potato sitting in front of my computer, so what do I know?

Rohn is still just a teenager but he has already won the Iditarod Jr. and is now preparing for his very first run in the real Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. You’d think the pressure to follow in dad’s footsteps might be tough to handle, but he seems pretty level headed in this short interview.

The Swedish golf star bested the field by two strokes yesterday to win at the SBS Open in Hawaii. She shot a three under on the final day. It was her first victory in 17 months after a winless 2007 that was shortened by a series of injuries.

In a strange turn of events, 2007 rookie of the year Angela Park missed taking second in the tournament because she was assessed a two-stroke penalty for holding up play. Golf has a shot clock? I’m not sure what the time limit is, but maybe the LPGA should consider shortening it a bit, say to like 30 seconds or something. That might get a few people interested.

What would also get people more interested in golf, and ladies’ golf in particular, is having more players like last year’s SBS Open winner Paula Creamer out on the links. She finished well behind the leaders with a four under, but that doesn’t stop me from posting a picture from her 2008 calendar (available only in Japan, I guess).

9:00 - has it started yet? im too hung over for this going back to bed

11:45 - Shit I overslept. Okay, well I guess I’ll turn on the TV and get this started.

11:50 - I’m bored, too many people talking and not saying anything. Someone else want to chime in? I’m going to play some Guitar Hero.

1:25 - Huh, looks like no one else has posted. Maybe we’ll do a recap after it’s over. Making a run to the c-store for a soda.

2:10 - Is it finally over? Well, thanks for reading our live blog of the Roger Clemens hearing.

Alright, maybe the blogosphere was better off without that waste of bandwidth, but here are a couple thoughts on the whole media circus that took place on Capitol Hill yesterday:

Brian McNamee looks and sounds like a little weasel.

Roger Clemens didn’t come off smelling like roses either.

I loved it when members of Congress would start their questions with a statement about how they think the whole hearing is a farce and a waste of time, but that didn’t stop them from mugging for the camera and asking questions anyway.

Christopher Shay of Connecticut calling McNamee a drug dealer was classic.

Henry Waxman gaveling Clemens for interrupting his closing remarks (”This is not your time to argue with me!”) was even better.

Someone committed perjury yesterday and the Justice Department is damn well going to find out who it was and send them to jail. I am so looking forward to that witch-hunt.

The Habs defender makes just $590,000 a year according to The Gazette, so you can see that he probably just needed some cash because he wanted to get something to eat. You can’t persecute a man who’s starvin, alone on the mean streets of Tampa far from home. If you want to blame anyone, blame Montreal owner George Gillette for not paying his players a decent, living wage.

The French bulldog named Diva was named Best of Opposite Sex at Madison Square Garden, signifying the pooch at the best female in the breed. A male dog was named best in breed.

Hearst, now Patty Hearst Shaw, is of course the heiress and granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst who was kidnapped and brainwashed in 1974 by the Simbionese Liberation Army and later took part in some of the bank heists. She was photographed with an assault rifle holding up a bank and later arrested, serving nearly two years for armed robbery.

So from gun-toting revolutionary to genteel champion dog breeder? Only in America.
