Do you live in one of America’s ten most miserable cities? Hope not. That would be miserable. And speaking of miserable – I’d forgotten that Laura Ingraham existed,’til I read this on Huffington. Glad Arlen gave her a scolding. Nothing wrong with debate – but if we had a few fewer of these shrill, [...]

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, [...]
Amazing! Unbelievable! That’s the Red Sox in October. Coming back from a 7-0 deficit the Red Sox mounted a comeback for the ages and nipped the Rays in the 9th, 8-7. Hang on to your hats, folks, and tune in on Saturday night. It ain’t over … and a Sox-Phillies Series may still be in [...]
Here’s my feedback from last night’s debate:
First of all, pundits will say McCain had his “best” debate, and they’re right — all things being relative. He really did have some good moments, made some salient points, and sounded reasonable from time to time (despite my not agreeing with any of those points, while also being [...]
It really wasn’t a contest at Dodger Stadium last night … and wasn’t one at Hofstra, either.
The Phillies clinched their sixth-ever World Series berth in just five games, with a 5-1 win over the Dodgers, behind good offensive production and the strong arm of NLCS MVP Cole Hamels! I’d love to see them face the [...]

It wasn’t looking good for Chase Utley and crew when yours truly hit the hay last night. But 40 year old Matt Stairs’ 2-run homer put the Phillies in the win column for the 3rd time in the NLCS – and on the brink of their first World Series since 1993.
Speaking of 1993 made me [...]
Check out Susan’s comment on Alison’s post yesterday (and Welcome, Alison — I’m looking forward to hearing what you have to say here)! Speaking of the Electoral College, I heard an interesting piece on NPR about the Electoral College — kinda scary how little people know about it!
And speaking of scary, the McCainiacs are getting [...]
This morning I checked BlueHampshire and was pleased to see this piece about the level of desperation in the McSame camp.
I groaned aloud last night when I heard Palin regurgitating that Bill Ayers story yet again. Despicable and empty ploy … but what I like about it is how it reflects the ongoing disarried and [...]

Of course I’m biased – as they’ll also say of Arianna (and no, I don’t think we’ll be mentioned in the same breath!).
But come on folks – is there even any comparison? The expectations were so low for Sarah that she’d have to have performed like Dubya to not exceed them. Still, she [...]

So, tonight’s the night. 9PM ET.
One of my concerns is that the bar has been set so low for Palin that she’ll look good if she merely manages to string together a series of complete sentences. The GOP has also laid the “groundwork” for asserting that Gwen Ifill is biased – NOT! Meanwhile, McCain has [...]
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 [...]

This video by the other Sarah is to die for! (Jimmy Kimmel, what were you thinking????)
And here’s another offering (thanks for this, too, BJE), on the ultimate cruelty of the Palin pick. It’s a good read — and the links are awesome. But, my stirrings of sympathy for Palin are quickly quelled by remembering her [...]

In what could well be their biggest challenge to date, the USWNT face Sweden in Sweden for the first time ever! (Check out the USSF article linked above – there are lots of interesting tidbits to peruse!) They’ll play just below the Arctic Circle (!) at Norrvalla Stadium in Skelleftea. The last time the USWNT [...]

Here’s the text of NH HR 0024, the resolution introduced by 87 year old Betty Hall in the NH State Legislature. It asks that Bush and Cheney be impeached under provisions of Jefferson’s Manual of Parliamentary Practice. According to Blue Hampshire (a nice site about progressive NH politics that I’m adding to my permanent links), [...]

This morning my NH world is blanketed with @ 10 inches of what looks to be fluffy snow. This amazing winter continues apace! It’s school vacation week in these parts, so at least the plows and busses won’t be trying to share the roads as the day gets underway.
I apologize to Briana Scurry after finding and [...]
