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, [...]
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 [...]

That’s really it, just WOW!
The Phillies’ bats came alive in a real big way last night, as they blew the Rays out 10 to 2. Tonight’s game five, still in Philadelphia, could be the end of the Series!
It’s great to see Ryan Howard producing the way we know he can. And how amazing was that [...]
How many base runners have the Phillies stranded now? I guess the glass-half-full perspective would be that they’re creating chances and will start cashing in eventually. (Just hope “eventually” comes within the next couple of games!) According to the NY Times the Phils are 1 for 28 with runners in scoring position — and Ryan [...]
The Phillies pulled out a squeaker of a win last night, and yours truly is paying the price this morning. Well worth it, though (or I should say Werth it). Cole Hamels looked very strong, Chase Utley came through with a first inning 2-run homer … and when (not if) Ryan Howard gets on track [...]
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 [...]

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, [...]
According to Media Matters, the press has dropped the ball re John McCain’s relationship with G. Gordon Liddy. Dave Letterman stuck it to him, but the media continues to look the other way – so let’s see more about it on the blogs! Here’s what their article has to say…
“As Media Matters for America has [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Here’s a variation of a Letter to the Editor I just sent out:
What if a “President McCain” continues his downhill slide?
The McCain we see today may not possess the quickness of mind and resilience shown by McCain eight years ago. If you question this, compare footage of him then and now.
A healthy and fully alert [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
I’m having some difficulties uploading an Mp3 of an interview with Pia … so in the interim, here’s a good article by Tim Wise (posted on Alternet) about the special privileges that white candidates for President and Vice President seem to possess.
Unfortunately, the technology challenges that I was experiencing last night seem to have overlapped [...]
Yes, it’s true. Turdblossom (aka Karl Rove) has spoken out about the excesses of the McCain campaign ads. To my mind the fact that he would do this publicly speaks, not to any new found sense of decorum or fair play in the doughy sleazeball, but to the fractiousness and internecine warfare within the Republican [...]
