Welcome To Hunting Season

Since the present-day FBI was founded in 1935  J.Edgar Hoover  was its life-time Director. He headed the FBI all of 37 years till his death in 1972. This is quite unheard of in the US; one man holding the same office for 37 years. Hoover became the most powerful man in the country and had dossiers on every politician and public figure of his time. He had enough dirt on Presidents, Presidential candidates, Senators, Congressmen, film stars, celebrities, sportsmen and activists. Every one!

The  BCCI  is holding an emergency meeting today to deal with the case of  N. Srinivasan  who will be likely ousted from his position of president. The vacation may end but the billion lies of our media will return to other stories. This is just to record some bizarre coverage of the IPL scam. At times like these the behaviour of the poor frontline reporters and cameramen turns absolu...

EVERY INDIAN MUST SHARE THIS, DID YOU KNOW THIS!(IPL)

EVERY INDIAN MUST SHARE THIS  DID YOU KNOW THIS Back in the '90s, Sachin went to Ganguly's room the night before an ODI and said that he has heard the next day's match has been fixed. Ganguly told him not to worry. They will open the batting and try their level best in not getting out. They will stay put and make as many runs as possible. Bookies can fix whatever they want to but these 2 won't let it happen . This is what transpired during the game 24 hours later : BOTH SACHIN AND SOURAV SCORED CENTURIES . INDIA WON Check the scorecard: http:// www.espncricinfo.com/ci/ engine/match/66157.html
