Kudos to Obama on an excellent (and politically astute) choice.
I do not like Giant Forest Hogs (think Rush Limbaugh).
Nor do I like the Black Mamba Snake (think … hmmm … Mitt Romney?)
RPE will have to tell the tale(s).
I DO like Safari Lager … will have to see if HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew [...]
Phillies won, Red Sox won .. and I’ve got the Slingcatcher hooked up and working in Dewd’s room!
Meanwhile, the Breakers will be honoring soccer great Maren Meinert at the game with the Freedom on May 17th at Harvard Stadium. WUSA fans remember her fondly as a key ingredient in the Breakers’ success – most especially [...]
Goal.com named the Breakers’ Kelly Smith their Player of the Week for this past week in the newly-minted WPS season — a nice (and well-deserved) honor.
“I have to admit, as a long-time Kelly Smith fan, I’m almost inclined to put her name in every week. Though she is nearly always good, she was superlative this [...]
I can’t believe that I am doing this … but I feel moved to add the White House website to the links here in the JordanCornblog sidebar. I feel moved to explore the site, read the blog, check it all out periodically. What is happening? As someone who grew up in the sixties and came [...]

I opened up MSNBC this morning and saw the news that Obama has picked Biden. Probably a smart move … experience and gravitas and whiteness and all. I was kinda hoping for something more interesting – but would rather win. So Biden seems good. Biden I can live with. (But wouldn’t Pia have been fun?)

I don’t know about you, but I find such milestones diminished by the hype … the marketing … the hoopla … the commentary. The events and the raw footage about the events is enough. The look on Michael Phelps’ face (or [...]

After a beautiful weekend away and a great visit with HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew, there’s a lot to catch up on. I’m sure I’ll be back in the swing in a couple of days … but right now it’s pretty slow-going.
On the USWNT front, Lauren Cheney is replacing Abby on the roster, as the team regroups [...]
In the run-up to the Oly’s it’s interesting to read the analysis being posted about the whole Solo-Scurry-Ryan episode at the 2007 Women’s World Cup. Following on the heels of the SI piece by Grant Wahl, we have commentary from:

Just how many super Tuesday’s can there be in a year?
Anyone see Hillary on The Daily Show? I did not … but here’s an article about the entertainment quotient. The show will be repeated tonight at 8PM. Meanwhile the polls seem to have about the same volatility as the stock ticker these days. Stay tuned, [...]
