COONEY'S THOUGHTS

Hello boxing fans. Just a few words to update you guys and gals the latest with me. I am taking a little short break from the boxing stuff, just to rest up a little. I need a little break from it. Of course 8CountNews still rolls on with Ed at the helm while I am gone. I will be back on my grind in a few days. I plan on fishing, and spending time with Shannon.

My thoughts on some national news. Iran's president almost bit the big one today when a hand grenade exploded by his motorcade. Too bad the person who threw it didn't have better aim.

Lindsay Lohen is in rehab. A lot of haters are blasting on her... some have merit, but she's a human and alchoholism and drug addiction is a sickness. I wish her well.

Thank God that none of the people that I know are anything remotely close to the cast of Jersey Shore.
