Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. You know what the worst part of it is?
That this guy was there with his friend Jerry Jones – and that he had a good time.
He should NEVER have a good time.
And speaking of folks who should never have a good time, of course Dick Cheney is perennially on my [...]
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, [...]
First off, Alice was in a bit of a rush this morning – else I’m sure she would not have taken the avoidance tack. (She was also clearly disturbed by McCain’s snub of Obama – although her interpretation is probably spot on.) Anyway, here’s her response to my question mark question (lifted from the “Comments”):
“Oh, [...]
First and foremost, you need to know that Joe the Plumber was appalled by McCain, but kinda almost felt a “presence” when he was around Ms. Sarah Palin. Okay, so call me prurient or nasty or sick, or whatever, but my first question to Joe Wurzelbacher would be, “And exactly where do you feel that [...]

First and foremost, it’s the 25th anniversary of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund – an amazing organization that has had a huge impact on the lives of people in NH. (It is also one of the few investments that hasn’t tanked in recent months … so you might want to think about investing your [...]
It’s day two of what continues to feel like a new era. Obama faces a plethora of daunting tasks, and we are on notice that for hope to burn bright, we need to roll up our sleeves and help. That’s the difference. Obama’s no white-haired GOP fake Father-Knows-Best, but a competent and inspiring leader who’s [...]
Good news still abounds!
While we were sleeping, Obama smashed McCain in Nevada, and won Indiana for the Dems – first time since Lyndon Johnson in 1964! The turnout was the highest in US electoral history, with more than 130 million people voting! Things are still being decided in North Carolina, Montana, and Missouri … and [...]

Yep – after voting Republican in the past 4 elections, Dixville Notch went blue! Hart’s Location did, too. The tally stands at 32 (Obama) to 16 (McCain) by my calculation. Dixville Notch started its early voting tradition in 1960 and has only gone for a Democrat once before – in 1968. (Let’s hope it’s a [...]

It’s all about the ground game now. To my mind, that’s gotta give Obama another leg up as the final hours tick away. For actual data, as well as some good anecdotal reportage, check out FiveThirtyEight.com — a new addition to the links here.
Wish I’d found it sooner. The polling data is in-depth — and [...]
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 [...]

Psychotherapist John P. Briggs, M.D. and (I assume) his son, J.P. Briggs II, Ph.D. who studies creativity and chaos, have written a beautifully nuanced study comparing and contrasting how McCain and Obama approach ambivalence, what this may reflect of their upbringings, and how this would affect their governing the country.
Their apparent level of empathy allows [...]

The Phillies-Rays game was suspended after the Rays tied it in the top of the sixth. When they’ll resume is anyone’s guess – the weather map sure doesn’t look auspicious for tonight. IMHO, it’s be nice if the delay went long enough that I could catch up on my sleep – and Hamels could pick [...]

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 [...]
Here’s an edited version of an email I got from Media Reform Daily – which directed me to SavetheInternet.com
“A huge decision is going to be made on Election Day that could change the lives of millions of Americans. And it’s not about Obama or McCain.
On Nov. 4, the Federal Communications Commission will vote to open [...]

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 [...]
