Check MatchTracker this morning at 11 ET to follow the USWNT vs. Norway in the final game of group play over at the Algarve (where, presumably, it is NOT snowing)!
The US is already in the championship game as a result of their two previous wins, however this should be interesting, as they’ve not seen Norway [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Saturday morning … and please remind me to not eat handfuls of chocolate-covered cherries while Watching Rachel Maddow … and before going to bed! And I don’t mean the sweet syrupy kind – but nice tart ones – delicious, for sure – and probably marginally good for me (yes, I do believe I could make [...]
We’ll be having eye-witness, on the spot reports from Tampa for all of the Women’s games, as up-to-the- minute coverage is being provided by none other than BJ, Dewd and Paula LR.
Their reporting may be slightly colored by their biases which I’ll lay out here, in the interest of full disclosure:
BJ is rooting for LSU [...]

As I settle down to write, I am just now interrupted by the sight of three deer running FAST down our hill, along the edge or the field. I wondered why they were moving like that … and my question was quickly answered when a very, very big coydog went racing down the hill after them. The [...]
Okay everyone, get to bed EARLY tonight … because it all starts up again tomorrow! West up … or maybe do a wittle weading about waccoons!
The women rounded out their Sweet Sixteen last night, and here’s how it stands. All of the number 1 and number 2 seeds moved into the next round. The number [...]
Well, well, well. Sorting things out this morning I see that #6 Pittsburgh eliminated #3 Baylor to move into the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history! Meanwhile (too bad, Karyn), gritty Florida State took Oklahoma State to overtime before succumbing 73-72 (on a free throw with 0.7 seconds left in the game [...]

I was listening to NPR yesterday afternoon and heard a piece (which I can’t find at the moment) about the ongoing debate re. whether or not students should be allowed to carry concealed weapons on college campuses. Can you imagine anything more hare-brained? I feel like the gun-lobby and others of like mind have simply [...]
