America’s fittest cities according to Gallup, are almost all in states begnning with a C. The two anomalies? Massachusetts and Nevada (both of which border on C-States). This obvious and important factor in your fitness has not yet been studied, but I expect it soon will be.
Meanwhile, as you get your brackets set (there’s still [...]

That’s what we’re doing this morning … bowing down to UNC, and bowing down to Mo! The Tarheels blew out Michigan State last night in a lop-sided contest that was never in doubt. (And some of us were actually quite thankful for that, as it gave us the opportunity to get to bed early!) [...]

I added a new site to my links: She’s a Baller – all things having to do with women’s b-ball. In the course of doing that, I saw the sad news that Kay Yow has died at age 66, after a long battle with Breast cancer.
Yow had a record of 737-344 in 38 years — [...]
One of the oddest stories I noticed yesterday was about Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg. That seems a particularly inept and bizarre move in a strange year for Plaxico. The Redskins-Giants game was looking like a close call anyway – but now that Mr. Burress has removed himself from the field again (I’m [...]

Boy – a little queasy, though. Soap-infused coffee is definitely not something I recommend on a rainy Tuesday morning.
Speaking of which – is it me, or do you associate Tuesday’s with rain? Thursday’s, too. In my mind those are the greyer days of the week. And speaking of greyer … are greyer and grayer different [...]
As a metaphor for the Republican right wing, that headline pretty much says it all. They sport a sensibility that’s moralistic as all get out – yeah. But it’s a very literal and childish morality. Black and white – no nuances or doubts allowed. Oh, and it’s based on “signs” from a god who is [...]

Kudos to Nancy Lieberman who, at age 50, showed her stuff in an appearance for the suspension and injury-depleted Detroit Shock last night. She scored no points, but made a no-look pass that brought the house down!
The Shock and the LA Sparks were both seriously understaffed due to suspensions and both lost their games last [...]

I do like it when there’s internecine fighting over there on the right, don’t you? It appears unlikely that Rush will make his peace with Mr. McCain any time soon … unless he’s just spouting hyperbole to bolster his ratings. But something like that would be beneath a pundit such as Rush … he’d never [...]
