First off, the UConn Huskies are a scary-good basketball team! The women, I’m talking about. They played Louisville last night. While the Cardinals stayed with them through part of the first half, by the second half the Huskies had blown open a huge lead. Louisville’s Angel McCoughtry is certainly an amazing player to watch, with [...]
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 [...]

The Phillies pulled out a 3-2 win with a big sixth inning and so are up 1-0 over Manny and the Dodgers (a sixties Motown group that some of you may remember fondly — I certainly do). Cole Hamels looked a little shakier than I like him to, but he got the win, and I’m [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

The USWNT defeated Norway 4-0 yesterday in Fredrikstad, and Abby Wambach scored her 99th career goal! Next up is Sweden on July 5th. Interestingly, the US had not defeated Norway in Norway before – losing and tying their two previous matches there. The Norwegians must love it that the USWNT’s first win on their home [...]

Sports Illustrated has come out with a more in-depth article than I’ve seen to date on Hope Solo, Briana Scurry, and the USWNT’s World Cup Loss to Brazil. Basically, though, my response to this piece is, “Yada, yada, yada.”
Not articulate enough for you? Okay – well I still find the explication unsatisfying and demonizing of [...]

My first read this morning included some tough talk from John Conyers regarding Karl Rove and the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena of Mr. Turdblossom himself. You go John! Meanwhile, the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility is also investigating a widening number of alleged “selective prosecutions” which may have been (OMG) politically motivated. I’m glad this [...]
Bush has done another end run around the Constitution, the separation of powers … in other words, the usual. This time it’s the $1 billion that appears to have gone from the Canadian government to Bush friends in the timber industry via a deal negotiated by the Bush administration. Happily, I am able to report [...]
