SCORE ONE FOR THE BULL.

I was very pleased when a contestant on Jeopardy lost after he bragged about being one of those idiots who runs with the bulls in Pamplona. But I was even more pleased to read this morning that 29-year-old Victor Barrio, a professional bullfighter, was killed when a bull's horn pierced his chest in front of the usual cold-hearted, blood-thirsty spectators. This happy incident took place in Teruel in the eastern region of Aragon on July 9.  Now some may think it's shameful for me to take pleasure in the death of so young a man. I don't care. I consider bullfighting a savage sport and bullfighters not much more than serial killers.
