Today I was sad to see a Google Alert re. the Breakers indicating that Jen Nobis is out for the season (torn ACL). Sounds like she had been working her butt off in the off-season, which makes this all the sadder. She had 2 goals in 11 games for a generally lackluster Breakers’ offense … [...]
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 [...]
From the Justice Department …
The murder of Doctor George Tiller is an abhorrent act of violence, and his family is in our thoughts and prayers at this tragic moment. Federal law enforcement is coordinating with local law enforcement officials in Kansas on the investigation of this crime, and I have directed the United States Marshals [...]
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 [...]
Waterboarding … six times a day for a month. That’s the lasting legacy of the Bush/Cheney adiministration, as the snow of our long winter of discontent melts away and all manner of new info seeps and oozes out disgustingly. It’s what many of us thought was happening. No, actually worse. But the lying skunks are [...]
First, from Alice, this absolutely amazing snippet from the UK featuring Susan Boyle … definitely worth the time it takes to watch!
I’m not up on the Idol phenomenon at all … but this? I love it!
Then this from Sarah Palin – who’s kind of the opposite of Susan Boyle, if you think about it. But [...]
Yes, Happy Monday. I am Happy.
Happy that Captain Phillips is rescued and okay … and happy that Obama’s first security-type crisis was one that came out well and reflected his quiet, steady leadership. Don’t expect any “Mission Accomplished” banners.
Happy that Bo has arrived …
Happy that the Easter Egg Hunt was inclusive …
Oh yes, and happy [...]
Man oh man oh man — here’s Glenn Beck making fun of Obama’s Aunt — and a bunch of other people, too. This is why I’ve been staying away from the news in favor of b-ball and soccer. What a hateful, useless tool!
Isn’t this the dude who was recently weeping about how much he loves [...]
The Men’s bracket is up and some folks (you know who you are) have already made their picks. The women’s bracket will be finalized this evening. Then we have a couple of days to get everything set before the games are off and running. I’m using the NYTimes Brackets this year – we’ll see how [...]
Check out MatchTracker starting at 7AM ET to follow the USWNT’s opening game of the Algarve Cup. They start off against Denmark, in a match-up that could prove one of their more difficult of the tournament.
“It’s not a World Cup year or an Olympic year, so we can try different things and one thing we [...]

Happy Saturday everyone! Looks like it’s going to be one beauty of a day. HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew should be on their way in another couple of hours and if I disappear for a while after they arrive, well, you’ll know what I’m up to!
Let’s see what’s happening in the world of soccer, first. I see [...]
Okay, checking out the scene here on a Thursday morning. I am (of course) in a hurry. So here are some quick updates:
HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew will be here this weekend! Hooray! Hopefully the snowstorm/rainstorm that appears to be brewing (get it?) won’t interfere.
The reviews of the new WPS uniforms have been decidedly mixed. Here are [...]
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 [...]
The snows aren’t as deep as expected, but they led to power outages in these parts, and lots and lots of birches bent to the ground. We had to saw the ends off of some branches on one birch near the bottom of our hill so that it’d pop up enough to let cars through [...]
