Thanks for your comment on yesterday’s post, Alice. I haven’t checked out the video Bill Moyers aired – Torturing Democracy – yet, but plan to. Meanwhile, for a never ending stream of despicable and delusional Dickishess there is always the Dick Cheney page on the Huffington Post. I glance at it occasionally in the hope [...]
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 [...]
I believe that the answer to that question is a resounding no. Oklahoma might have the slimmest of chances … but barring injuries, I don’t see anyone getting in the way of the Huskies’ march toward a national championship. The battle will be to see who the other three teams are in the Final Four.
NC [...]
Whoo hoo! I got up early enough to do a little working out before hitting the computer – and all looks brighter. Amazing what a little circulating blood can do, eh? I am raring to go now …
But first, a few snippets of news as the sun begins to color the eastern horizon …
Here is [...]
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 came upon this interesting post on The Time Finder this morning – a compendium of web-based time management and organizational tools that looked very cool. (As an aside, I “lost” about 45 minutes noodling around amongst the neat features and awesome gee gaws … but that’s par for the course when it comes to [...]

I thought this was just good Friday fun – but it took a sharp right turn unexpectedly, as I explored … and now I have to put it aside and hit the shower. Sorry … and here it is!
Now that I’ve put the Philly music aside (for the moment) here are a couple of brain [...]
Having been asleep at the switch on the soccer front for awhile, I was pleased to receive a Google Alert about the USWNT’s most recent win. This one coming in Richmond, VA, where South Korea fell to the USWNT. Vic Dorr, Jr. describes the game in the Times Dispatch. Sounds like Angela Hucles continues her [...]

Obama is leaving the trail, as I’m sure you’ve all read by now, to be with his seriously ill grandmother in Hawaii. His sense of proportion is admirable, and I wish him and his family well.
On a more upbeat note — my e-mail brought me this great piece from the NY Times this morning — [...]

It was a good run, Red Sox … but now it’s up to the Phillies to take the devil out of those Rays, I guess. A rested Philadelphia team meets the Rays in Florida for game 1 on Wednesday night. Here’s hoping for either a good, exciting, long Series or (my personal favorite) a four [...]

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 [...]
This is one of the creepiest things I’ve seen in awhile … at least since the last time I watched the Straight Talker for any length of time.
That one? Really? That soft, fake-friendly voice is downright threatening, don’t you think? It reminds me of someone. Dennis Hopper? Jack Nicholson in a scary movie … or [...]
In the end, I thought, why give up sleep time to watch Sarah Palin give a speech written by McCain’s speech-writers … a speech likely more thoroughly “vetted” than she was?
So how’d it go? The good folks at the Huffington Post and at Alternet were not wowed, it seems. The Republican press, I have [...]
Oh boy, Sarah Palin. Where to begin? There is so much to explore and highlight and, yes, ridicule, about this choice.
When I first heard McCain’s selection, yesterday afternoon, I immediately Googled her, like millions of other Americans, I’m sure. Wikipedia, as expected, was at the top of the search results. I clicked on her entry, [...]
Call it change. Call it luck. Call it redemption. Call it bravery. Call it what you will – it’s gold and it’s real and it stays! The USWNT defeated Brazil 1-0 yesterday in extra time after putting on a gritty performance on the pitch on a wet, humid, Beijing night. Pia Sundhage and her 18 [...]

Here’s Beulah’s match report. I’m always so pleased when one or two things I noticed show up in Beulah’s write-up! I continue to be impressed with HAO’s play – and was also very glad to see Mitts playing more like her old self. Hope A-Rod gets her scoring started against New Zealand … and then [...]

John Tomasic has put up a nice piece (and interesting video) on the Huffington Post about Hillary and Hillary supporters … as we head toward the convention. It certainly appears that HRC has accepted the Obama nomination and is working with the DNC on moving forward in a unified way.
In the meantime, John McCain is [...]

This article and election map on the Huffington Post argues that Obama is going to win handily in November – not even close. Boy do I hope this is true!
And the projected win is in the context of media bias slightly favoring McCain … according to a study referenced in this recent piece by James [...]
