Looks like most follks are getting their picks in order for the Madness to begin. Just a quick reminder that the Men’s bracket closes at @ noontime tomorrow … women’s same time on Friday. Are you ready with your picks? Me – I keep changing mine whenever I have a free moment … that’s how [...]
I just sent out my initial March Madness e-mail … as the excitement builds. We had some blog readers participate last year … so be sure to be in touch if you’re interested again and I haven’t contacted you!
I am mulling my post about anger … need to set aside some time for [...]
So UConn survived a small first-half scare from Notre Dame and are now set to face West Virginia in the Big East Final tonight (7PM ET). They also secured their 71st straight victory – eclipsing the streak that ended in 2003. It’s kind scary to think about how long this might go on …
Pia has [...]
With 50 senators ready to give the thumbs up on reconciliation, are we about to see some change actually happen? The complexity of the issues and the utter brokenness of the system leave me tearing at my hair and honestly almost preferring near-random change to inaction. (Of course I would not be saying that were [...]
So it’s Friday … and the “true colors” theme continues to be apt, as I see that … Roy Ashburn, a rabid anti-gay GOPer … was arrested for DUI after leaving a gay nightclub, according to sources. Here’s his voting record … a profile that’s becoming more and more familiar, eh? I mean, might we [...]
The GOP’s hate and fear-mongering is over the top, and inexcusable. The big question for me … are we a nation of idiots? Will the good people of Kansas … not to mention the rest of the states …keep falling for this crap? Is it possible to rescind a political party’s right to exist? I’d [...]

Yesterday I had one of those angry right wing commenters visit. This time waxing eloquent about the HUGE economy of Texas … and how States like California are going down the tubes because they are fundamentally socialist. (The comment was attached to a really old post, BTW … Memo to the Red States from the [...]

So first off, birthday greetings to CharlieHopbrew, who is not only getting older … but also has to contend with a stove pipe set dangerously askew by the high winds and snow that pummeled so many of us this past weekend.
What can I say … it sucks all around!
The USWNT defeated Sweden yesterday [...]
We’re still without power here, but the generator is cranking away … so JordanCornblog can, too!
Over in HollyCornblog territory it sounds like it’s been wild. She writes …
We have had SO much snow in the past few days (we had at least 2 feet by this morning). I don’t mind snow, but I like a [...]
OMG – the wind woke me up last night and then it felt like it took hours to get back to sleep, as I’d listen to it roaring over the hill and past the house, seemingly trying to rip the roof off. (Being on the 3rd floor, and under a roof window is a scary [...]
Now, that’s just gross, what you’re thinking.
This is the Cheney-monster I’m obsessing about – THAT Dick. Is it just me, or are you checking on-line for breaking news about his demise? I feel like a shark with blood in the water. Circling. Waiting.
And this has got me thinking about Dick more broadly. Wondering [...]
… and the only way we know for sure is when it pains him, as well it should. ’nuff said.
And speaking of heart … I like what Scott Brown is showing in his first days in the Senate. Maybe there’s hope.
Meanwhile, I missed Edna St. Vincent Millay’s birthday … which was yesterday. Thanks, Alice!
The Breakers [...]
Apparently (according to a thread on BigSoccer) Christine Latham has been waived by the Breakers … and an announcement about a new international acquisition is in the offing. Any guesses?
Meanwhile .. bad blood between the B’s and Sky Blue FC, eh? Breakers’ GM Andy Crossley sounds (not surprisingly) PO’d as he responds to Gerry Malone [...]
In a development with some Shakespearean twists to it (if you are from this region and follow NH high school girls basketball, that is) the Class M Tournament slate has been posted and … 6th seeded Prospect Mountain faces 11th seeded Belmont at Prospect Mountain in Round 1. Timberwolves’ first year coach Jeri Blair has [...]
Been awhile! I think I’m heading toward a not-every-day schedule here – or at least, let’s say a less predictable schedule. We’ll see how it goes.
In the meantime, life goes on, the days lengthen, snow falls and melts, and who should be reappearing on the landscape but Mitt Romney! He’s starting to make the rounds, [...]
First off, “Thanks be to Beeg,” (as we like to say in these here parts) for sharing HoopFeed with me. If you’re on Twitter and interested in Women’s B-ball, you’ll want to follow. (And for some of you guys, it may make it worthwhile to get onto Twitter – it’s got great info!) This’ll be [...]
With the exception of the commercials which (I thoroughly agree with Boltgirl) were a surprisingly lame combination of woman-hating and achingly stupid attempts at humor, Superbowl 44 was a great success from my point of view.
The one commercial that didn’t make it was probably the funniest of the lot …
Keeping Peyton off the field worked [...]
Today I was sad to see a Google Alert re. the Breakers indicating that Jen Nobis is out for the season (torn ACL). Sounds like she had been working her butt off in the off-season, which makes this all the sadder. She had 2 goals in 11 games for a generally lackluster Breakers’ offense … [...]
Boltgirl has a nice write up of the WPS draft … a brief reminder (especially heartening to the mid-Atlantic states right about now) that baseball is on the way … and a little link at the end that you must click! All I can say is OMG. Or did I say it already? I sure [...]
I was going to write about the WPS’ Sol Dispersal Draft (Boxxy went first, and Marta moved up the coast) and especially how the Breakers fared … but I had a comment by a guy named Noah on my post about Obama at the Georgetown-Duke game … and just felt like I wanted to focus [...]
