.. except the feel good stories of the decade include has gotta the Phillies’ World Series win, too, in my book!
What’s on your docket for today?
I’m gonna be doing some research … see what the info is on what’s actually got the bigger carbon footprint (after factoring in ALL of the components in [...]
Who Dat Say They Gonna Beat Them Saints?!
Ever since I was a wee lass, I’ve loved sports. There is something about the combination of competition and camaraderie that speaks to my soul. There are miracles and feel good stories that litter the history books of amateur and professional sports. I’m hoping Super [...]
Sad news (I was too obsessed with John and Liz to pick this up when it first came out) .. the LA Sol have folded. You probably heard it from Boltgirl first! (I heard via an e-mail at work from a friend.)
At first I was horrified on hearing it — PTSD from old WUSA days. [...]
It’s windy as hell here in Canterbury this morning … and cold. Wind chills in the minus numbers. Brrrr!
I think the wind is blowing the cover off of some bad actors … let’s take a look … maybe it’ll be cleansing!
First off, the Swiss firm Covalence has published its annual report on the worst corporations [...]
Thank you, Mr. President, for speaking plainly and directly about the HORRIBLE decision by the Supreme Court last week.
And why weren’t Scalia and Thomas there?
And Justice Alito … WTF?
According to Marc Ambinder there are going to be some vacancies this summer … unfortunately (I suspect) not involving the most vacant of our justices. (Yeah, Clarence, [...]
Enough people have shared this with me that I thought I’d better post it … it’s a work of genius!
… and then, what better to follow it with, than a visit from the Church Lady!
Dear Pat Robertson,
I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make [...]
Sorry, guys. For the news today, I’ve got a nice clip of Tracy Ullman briefly impersonating Rachel Maddow (and Arianna Huffington).
And then there’s tomorrow’ State of the Union message … I wonder if decorum will prevail (for a change).
And then there’s the news (from the USWNT and WPS) that Aly Wagner has retired. She was [...]
Today, as we prepare for the deluge here in NH, I am not going to pretend to be anything but lowbrow as I focus on idle speculation and rumors, before getting some breakfast.
First off, yes – the Colts and Saints are in the Superbowl. It could maybe, possibly, ya-never-know, even be a good game.
And on [...]

I’m off, shortly, as ChristopherCornblog and I head out with JBD to help move her Mom’s things out of her apartment. A sad piece of the grieving process that can be shocking in its very mundane-ness.
In the meantime, here is a piece by Ruth Marcus from the Washington Post about the stunning intellectual dishonesty of [...]
Okay, yesterday was the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. How amazing to think about that decision on the heels of the recent SCOTUS debacle. So in honor of Roe v. Wade, HollyCornblog suggests that we visit the Angryblackbitch to read her post from yesterday – Blog for Choice – Not a PLea or a Request [...]
In a decision that I can only describe as chilling, the Supreme Court has opened the doors for corporate capital to pretty much buy whatever it wants.
While I don’t think that money was the issue for Coakley on Tuesday, truth’s comment on the race is telling:
Here’s the stat that brings it all home: After the [...]
First off, thanks to Stephen and AMR for weighing in on the events of these times … we need all the help we can get!
Second, did anyone else notice the spike in the stock market when Massachusetts was effectively voting down healthcare reform? Could the battle lines be drawn any more clearly?
First off, let’s stop [...]
What a difference one year makes. Who would have thought that an anniversary of such large proportions could be overshadowed by an event of such……patheticness (yes, I made that up) ? My fellow liberals sulked around – their eyes filled with doubt and their guts in knots. This is NOT how we [...]
While the snow squalls continued yesterday in NH, and ChristopherCornblog experimented with the wovel, strange things were happening down in the flatlands of Massachusetts.
That normally, reliably sane populace went right off the deep end. It was worse than what we’ve seen in states where we expect that kind of behavior. Strange and unsettling. There’s a [...]
Sorry for the quick hit, I know I’ve been bad about guest blogging here (I’ll try to do better!) but my father sent me this link today, and I didn’t see it anywhere here yet… this is worth watching, I think.

… in answer to Nourishing Words, we wuv our wovel. Weawwy!
Yesterday’s storm gave us an opportunity to test it out nicely, and it outperformed the shovel decisively (except in really small areas, where the shovel was the obvious implement of choice).
For clearing paths, cleaning the walkway to the house, or cleaning up the edges of [...]
As the snow continues to fall, I’m ecstatic that there’s an opportunity to use the Wovel today. (I’ll be sure to post some pictures.)
Meanwhile … I am also ecstatic that the ‘boys were handed a more ignominious defeat than what they gave the Eagles. It’s petty, I know.
And for your viewing pleasure (while [...]
If you go to the site of any WPS team these days you’re likely to see a counter displaying the days, hours, and minutes before opening day. We’re something like three months away, with a bit of March Madness in between, but with the days getting longer, you can definitely feel the soccer in the [...]
I was so saddened to read, last night, that Molly Hightower was killed in the Haitian earthquake, along with Ryan Kloos, the brother of Erin Kloos, another volunteer with Friends of the Orphans in Haiti.
I can only imagine what it took for her family to put up yesterday’s post on Molly’s blog … for both [...]
Where did the time go?
This is one of those mornings when I wonder whether it’s better to post something or just remain silent. I can’t do even a smidgeon of justice to the situation in Haiti, which is tragic beyond comprehension. I am glad that Obama seems to be responding with swiftness and meaningful support [...]
