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, [...]

Saturday morning … last morning before we go back to daylight savings time.  I’m having some smooth, dark coffee and catching up on the news of the world while the sun comes up here.
Scary times, as the economy’s woes seem to be accelerating with no end in sight.  Maddow had a great explanation of the [...]

First off, Chip Saltsmann. The candidate for the chairmanship of the RNC sent around a Holiday CD that reminds us all, yet again, of why the Republican Party is having such a hard time these days.  Here’s one of the songs (brought to us via You Tube) …

I am not surprised that the RNC would [...]

Apparently all is not well in the McCain campaign (no big news there, I realize).  Still, the word in Politico is that Palin and her supporters are getting impatient with the way things are going (or not going).  An ambitious lot with their eye on 2012, looks like some of them want to throw the [...]

This is a photo of a recent sunset at the lake, sent my way by HollyCornblog (who is also the provider of some of the juicier Sarah Palin news and punditry).
On the Palin front, the plot, as they say, thickens.  If you’ve read Stephen’s comments, he’s onto the whole Troopergate thing like a good sweeper [...]

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 [...]

According to the Huffington Post this morning (quoting unnamed Republican operatives) the McCain campaign is in deep do-do. This is the kind of story I love to start off with on a too-hot Monday morning! And check out this priceless piece about the Golf Gear that Senator McCain is selling on his website … in [...]

Here’s the text of NH HR 0024, the resolution introduced by 87 year old Betty Hall in the NH State Legislature. It asks that Bush and Cheney be impeached under provisions of Jefferson’s Manual of Parliamentary Practice. According to Blue Hampshire (a nice site about progressive NH politics that I’m adding to my permanent links), [...]

First off, this header for a story on MSNBC caught my eye … “Clinton Veers to Dark Side” … it says.  “Uh oh,” I thought, “something nefarious here!”  Turns out it’s a story about how, in her stump speeches, she uses real-life stories to illustrate her points.  Real life, I guess, is “The Dark Side.”  I [...]
