In what sounded like a wild and woolly second half, Christine Latham and Kristin Luckinbill were major contributors in a nifty 3-1 win for the Boston Breakers.
The Breakers scored first, on a PK by Kelly Smith in the 54th minute after Scurry fouled Hucles in the box. Lori Lindsey equalized soon after, and Abby had [...]

The Men’s bracket is up and some folks (you know who you are) have already made their picks. The women’s bracket will be finalized this evening. Then we have a couple of days to get everything set before the games are off and running. I’m using the NYTimes Brackets this year – we’ll see how [...]
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 [...]
So here we are back at Tuesday again! I managed to get myself onto the treadmill this morning, and so am feeling quite cocky and proud of myself!
Let’s see what’s out there in the news this morning. We’ve got polls showing that the majority of Americans are supporting Obama’s decisions on the economy — and [...]
So the stimulus package has passed, as the sun rises on this beautiful Saturday morning. It wouldn’t have, without the help of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins – courageous, centrist Republicans in a sea of dissembling, disingenuous, faux bipartisan doofusses mouthing old platitudes and marching in lockstep. Why? Putting politics first, it seems [...]
This is pretty old news, but it’s the first chance I’ve had to read a bit of the inside scoop on Hillary as Secretary of State. Meanwhile, speculation about Biden’s role (or lack thereof, to date) appears in the NY Times. It’s never simple, is it? I am struck by how thoroughly politics is [...]

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 [...]

Why aren’t we reading about the real Palin rally that took place this weekend in Alaska? That would be this one …
… the one that was spontaneously organized and grew by leaps and bounds as the word spread (yeah, like wildfire) to the good folks of Alaska. Why don’t we hear about this rally in [...]

While the McCain campaign strives to make Sarah Palin the issue with bogus controversies, there are plenty of real issues to look at. Hopefully the press won’t continue to be hoodwinked and will start recognizing the McSmear tactics and burying them back near the Classifieds … where they belong.
Perhaps the biggest issue the McSmears want [...]
I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs this morning and in The Field Negro I came upon this … a “rumor” that I suspect is very true … and is certainly in keeping with the persona that Ms. Palin so happily projects.
“SO SAMBO BEAT THE BITCH”
Yes, that is what she is purported [...]
Wow – it’s very hard to believe that August is nearly over. It’s back to school time … the leaves are starting to have that wee bit of color that portends major changes … and my vacation is winding down.
Today I am at the “vacation wind down phase” where I struggle with all the things [...]
John Tomasic has put up a nice piece (and interesting video) on the Huffington Post about Hillary and Hillary supporters … as we head toward the convention. It certainly appears that HRC has accepted the Obama nomination and is working with the DNC on moving forward in a unified way.
In the meantime, John McCain is [...]

Big thanks to Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes, New Hampshire’s two reps, for voting against more funding for the US occupation of Iraq. The bill passed and will be signed by Bush, but your votes are appreciated nonetheless.
From a war started and fueled by misinformation, we move to a Republican campaign similarly powered. When you [...]
