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, [...]
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 [...]

Amazing! Unbelievable! That’s the Red Sox in October. Coming back from a 7-0 deficit the Red Sox mounted a comeback for the ages and nipped the Rays in the 9th, 8-7. Hang on to your hats, folks, and tune in on Saturday night. It ain’t over … and a Sox-Phillies Series may still be in [...]
Here’s my feedback from last night’s debate:
First of all, pundits will say McCain had his “best” debate, and they’re right — all things being relative. He really did have some good moments, made some salient points, and sounded reasonable from time to time (despite my not agreeing with any of those points, while also being [...]
This is one of the creepiest things I’ve seen in awhile … at least since the last time I watched the Straight Talker for any length of time.
That one? Really? That soft, fake-friendly voice is downright threatening, don’t you think? It reminds me of someone. Dennis Hopper? Jack Nicholson in a scary movie … or [...]

So let’s [...]
Hurricane Gustav is bearing down on Louisiana in an eerie replay, nearly to the day, of Katrina three years ago. The powers that be have learned from some of their mistakes, evacuating people by the thousands and generally being much more prepared. Sadly, Gustav has provided the Republicans with a good, plausible reason for avoiding [...]
Oh boy, Sarah Palin. Where to begin? There is so much to explore and highlight and, yes, ridicule, about this choice.
When I first heard McCain’s selection, yesterday afternoon, I immediately Googled her, like millions of other Americans, I’m sure. Wikipedia, as expected, was at the top of the search results. I clicked on her entry, [...]
This morning I noticed an anti-Hillary ad on the internet. At the bottom it said it was paid for by John McCain (of all people). It uses a crystal ball and an unflattering photo to set her up in a most childish way and ask if this is what we want in our future … very mature [...]
