Yup, after all was said and done for week 4 on the WPS, who should top the power rankings but our own Breakers. Rightly so, I’d add, IMVVHO! Next up for the Breakers, the hungry Chicago Red Stars, who played Sky Blue to a 0-0 draw in the televised game yesterday. The LA Sol beat [...]

So the stimulus package has passed, as the sun rises on this beautiful Saturday morning. It wouldn’t have, without the help of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins – courageous, centrist Republicans in a sea of dissembling, disingenuous, faux bipartisan doofusses mouthing old platitudes and marching in lockstep. Why? Putting politics first, it seems [...]
Yup, Auburn (“You can’t win if you can’t shoot“) lost to Georgia last night, leaving Andy Landers and Geno Auriemma both very happy. Meanwhile, Angie Bjorklund and the Lady Vols gave Pat Summitt her 999th win …
I get so depressed looking at Andy Landers sometimes. Just feels like I am being dragged (against my will, [...]
Fingers crossed here for another good NFL day for the bird teams. The Ravens I had with a win. But the Cardinals? Wow. I just hope they didn’t steal the Eagles’ mojo. (Nah … an unworthy thought to be having this snowy NH Sunday.) If Ravens can bring down Titans, certainly Eagles can bring down [...]
Here’s an edited version of an email I got from Media Reform Daily – which directed me to SavetheInternet.com
“A huge decision is going to be made on Election Day that could change the lives of millions of Americans. And it’s not about Obama or McCain.
On Nov. 4, the Federal Communications Commission will vote to open [...]

After some technological adventures that I’ll be happy to never repeat, I’m up and running again. It was actually kind of nice to be off line as the economy continued its nosedive and the big bailout stalled in Congress. Apparently Nancy Pelosi made a speech that put some Republicans’ teeth on edge … and that [...]
I’m going to be migrating everything from my old computer to my new one in just a wee bit … so am posting somewhat quickly now. Hopefully you’ll hear from me again. If not, you’ll know that things went badly here …
A bailout agreement has apparently been reached.
I read some excellent debate analysis [...]

Lots to write about today … and let me start with what’s been nagging at me ever since this whole Wall Street debacle became the latest national emergency. I keep thinking, “What if this really is an emergency? Bush certainly looked terrified last night in the clips I saw of his address to the nation. [...]
Another emergency lands at the feet of Congress and the taxpayers … born under the watch of this current administration. Explain again just why we should trust a plan submitted by them? I’m not saying do nothing, but sure hope Congress puts the brakes on ‘em. Paul Krugman offers an interesting commentary in the Times.

This morning’s post will likely be quick, as I’ve gotta make 2 dozen sandwiches for some soccer-game tailgating by 7:30 AM. But enough about me!
On Truthdig I came upon this Palin Perspective from John Dean (yes, that John Dean). Basically he argues, rather damningly, that were a sitting President in the position of having to [...]
Scott McClellan is going to be selling some books shortly. I LOVE anything that could further damage Bush and maybe even buttress Congressional efforts to nail some of these guys. But it also bugs me that Mr. McClellan is going to be making money hand over fist with his squawk … after participating in what [...]

This caught my eye yesterday … while Obama’s patriotism continues to be attacked in viral e-mails, here are our very favorite top oil execs testifying before Congress about their profits. Now these are major American patriots one and all. I’m sure they all have flag pins and nice presentable church memberships and middle names like [...]

The US House of Representatives put a temporary hold on at least one of Bush’s efforts to save money on the backs of the poor and the powerless, while continuing to protect the privileges (and pocketbooks) of his rich buddies. As reported on MSNBC, “Two thirds of the Republicans joined every voting Democrat in the [...]
