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 [...]
The stamina and breadth of knowledge that this man posesses, not to mention the grace under pressure — and just plain grace — are quite amazing.
First — he goes to the so-called lion’s den and schools the GOP brain trust at their annual retreat (well done Mr. President).
Then he attends the Georgetown-Duke game and shares [...]
Maybe I’m numb, but all the flap over the near-disaster over Detroit continues to bug me. There’s now a report, and the Senate is going to hold hearings, and I am sure the GOP will be calling for firings and all … zzzzzz …
You know what? I really wish that they would put their energies [...]
In the spirit of Christmas in America, here’s a question for you: When you click that “Buy” button at Amazon, ever wonder what happens? I just stumbled upon a post on Gizmodo about The Secret Lives of Amazon’s Elves. It’s a lifestyle – who’d a thunk.
A few years back Chris Dunphy and Cherie Ve Ard [...]
So Abby Wambach and Kia MacNeill have garnered one match suspensions as Tonya Antonucci (WPS Commissioner) made the call (after the WPS Disciplinary Committee had decided differently). Let the controversy roil and the debating continue. It probably isn’t a bad thing for WPS to have everyone kinda riled at this point in the young season. [...]

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 [...]

Happy Saturday morning … as the clouds roll in, bringing some much needed rain to these parts. I went for a run yesterday after work and jogging by the fire house, noticed the sign saying that the fire danger was “extreme.” (Breathed a small sigh of relief that I wasn’t lounging by the chiminea, endangering [...]

I read through the post-match quotes re. yesterday’s USWNT win over Norway at the Algarve – and continue to just love Pia’s detailed and forthright comments … for example:
(On the ebb and flow of the match) You can imagine that you have a team running at you the whole time and doing everything to win, [...]
That’s how Michael Steele has described the Republican Party. I agree that muck is a great way to describe a medium comprised of the detritus of right wing preachers, radio hacks, and turdblossoms. But it doesn’t seem wise for a party that is struggling mightily to find its identity, should choose as its cheerleader-in-chief, someone [...]
So here we are back at Tuesday again! I managed to get myself onto the treadmill this morning, and so am feeling quite cocky and proud of myself!
Let’s see what’s out there in the news this morning. We’ve got polls showing that the majority of Americans are supporting Obama’s decisions on the economy — and [...]
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 [...]
First off, is Andrew Card crazy? He’s tweaked about Obama disrespecting the office of the Presidency. Why? Because Obama changed the dress code at the White House. Good grief. Is that what Andrew Card really thinks? Is he a grown-up? (And I loved the comments on this piece … especially the one about how the [...]
It feels like Alaska here in NH this morning — and so my thoughts turn naturally to Sarah Palin. She is a busy gal, you betcha.
Everyone’s read, if they follow her at all, about how she is blaming the press for the public’s perceptions of her … and stepping up to protect her family from [...]
First off, Chip Saltsmann. The candidate for the chairmanship of the RNC sent around a Holiday CD that reminds us all, yet again, of why the Republican Party is having such a hard time these days. Here’s one of the songs (brought to us via You Tube) …
I am not surprised that the RNC would [...]
Hey – thanks for the game, Stephen. Very satisfying (especially with the sound turned up)!
What else have we today? A brief comment from Nate Silver that takes a slightly different perspective on the Rick Warren controversy – basically looking at what it reflects about shifting public opinion and the increased energy coming form the left. [...]

HollyCornblog is back on line and sent along some photos of what it was looking like in her world yesterday. Here’s a beauty!
In the meantime, I had the occasion to drive over toward the Monadnock region of NH (actually Antrim, Peterborough, Greenfield, etc.) and was absolutely shocked at the devastation. There were trees and power [...]
