No baseball to report on. No debate. I am forced to move to Plan B. (Don’t try this at home.)
What brought me to this? It began with my morning visit to Woot — a site that HollyCornblog turned me onto some years ago. I check it first thing and sometimes find really good deals. (Plus, [...]
Watch Manuel beat Manny as the Phillies win game # 1 over the Dodgers tonight!
Check out SNL’s Thursday Night News Show. Will Tina Fey appear? (Maybe …)
Get the word out about the USWNT’s 3 November matches vs. South Korea.
Do some Googling re. Cindy McCain’s abominable treatment of her half sister, Kathleen Hensley Portalski. (Especially check out [...]
Other than football, what’s up today?
Well — here’s an excellent site that a friend sent me last night .. and I’m adding it to my blogroll. It’s Worse Than Bush — and it’ll help help keep you motivated! First off, from the site, this video …
There’s plenty more where THAT came from!
On the wardrobe front, [...]
Cindy McCain and Laura Bush appeared together at the Republican convention yesterday and offered uplifting fare to the 17 delegates in attendance. In a surprisingly bold move, Cindy offered the following bit of wardrobe advice: “This is a time when we take off our Republican hats and put on our American hats.” Brave and inspiring [...]

Here we go! As the USWNT soccer news slowly dwindles, the news on the political front picks up. Here’s a link to Michelle Obama’s speech from last night (text and video), and here’s a link to video and an article with Obama’s daughters interacting with (and interrupting) him last night. And here’s a link to a new [...]
Tomorrow at 6AM we’ll start the next leg of the Olympic tournament journey. There’s not a lot in the way of soccer news in the interim. The WNT Blog is a good place to track the USWNT’s travels and preparation for tomorrow’s showdown with Canada. An upbeat and determined Canadian squad is looking for a [...]

Here’s Cindy McCain speaking about “the only way to get around in Arizona.” (This is way too easy … I think I’m starting to feel a tad mean-spirited and guilty.) I’ll get over it, though.
Mark Zeigler writes from San Diego about tonight’s USWNT vs. Brazil match-up … the second this week. On Sunday the USWNT [...]

Abby Wambach flew to Portland, Maine this past week to be present for the opening ceremonies of the US Youth Soccer Region I Championships. Here’s a link to Blog entries by the players and coaches at the tournament. And guess who was there with his team? Our own Morgan, of Final Four Fame! Good luck [...]

I loved coming upon this piece (and video clip) about Michelle Obama’s appearance on “The View.” Yes, greet her properly, please! Meanwhile, Cindy McCain was kinda critical of the original move, form what I heard somewhere (overly vague, I realize). Still, having googled her name and the word “drugs” I gotta say that if she [...]
… I really don’t trust ‘em. Know what I mean?
What am I talking about? It’s the push by Bush to lift the 27-year-old ban on offshore drilling that was imposed by his Daddy all those many years ago. Dubya says that this is the way we need to go to bring down high gasoline prices [...]
Unfortunately, USSF is not exactly being forthcoming on news of the USWNT vs. Brazil game. What I’ve been able to cobble together is that the USWNT won 1-0. The goal was scored by A-Rod. Abby played an awesome game … as did Boxx (based on some of the comments I read on BigSoccer). It sounds [...]

Here’s a feel good piece if I’ve ever seen one! It’s about a Bush-McCain Fundraiser that had to be scaled back due to poor ticket sales.
But enough about the guys. Nothing about HollyCornblog today … sorry. But Hillary is doing a pretty okay job of explaining her very, very unfortunate remarks about Bobby Kennedy’s assassination [...]
