Tonight's version of "The Apprentice" was proof of how editing shades everything. Of course, it may also be why Trump and friends decided to scrap a three-hour finale. This show revealed Kendra had her act together and no, Sony Playstation did not pull out of the Gaming Championship at Webster Hall. However, Tana and her buds at the Olympic event at Chelsea Piers were not so good. They didn't have an American flag for the procession. Unfortunately, even Governor Pataki noticed and told Trump. Uh-oh. In defense of Tana, this may have been the largest event a finalist had to be associated with and she didn't have the greatest team. But her continual references to her being the boss were tiresome. And she didn't look very happy when her team showed up at the boardroom to close the show to give their opinions. Has she not watched the show before?

If they had gone with the three-hour finale, it would have been a rerun of the Jen M. bashing of a year ago. Wisely, the finale is next week and if Kendra is not picked, that would be a bigger upset than Giacomo in the Derby. On next week's promo, Trump voices over "who will succeed?" while Kendra is on screen and "who will fail?" with Tana on screen. Oh, that's not obvious.

If you have a knack for signing someone to your fantasy team who promptly gets injured, we call that "killing" someone. Well, I killed Joe Johnson. Tough picture.

Most summers, new stories come out each year about a single topic. Sharks a couple of years ago, child kidnappings another. But each spring one story comes back, much like the buzzards on March 15th. It's the "they wouldn't allow me to attend because of what I wore to the prom" story.

Granted, many are upset about Kellen Winslow getting injured on a motorbike. But what if your favorite athlete turned an ankle on the hideous "Battle of the Gridiron Stars"? Most unlikely, but it could happen.

I wondered why Tony Pena resigned so suddenly as Royals manager. I guess it was more than an 8-25 record.
