It’s Breakers Game Day. Freezing, and quite possibly wet — but hey, we’re hardy folk right?
Before embarking on this new chapter in Breakers’ history — a pause to remember good times past. Maren? Dagney? We miss you!
No sound with this video — but that kinda makes it all the more resonant, doesn’t it? Love the [...]
First off, our friend Alice (who suffers good-humoredly my unrelenting pressure to become a JordanCornblog contributor) is off to tour Florence today. Happy travels, Alice!
Happily, she will not have to leave before the USWNT faces Iceland in their second game at the Algarve. She (and the rest of us) will be able to follow it [...]

Happy Saturday everyone! Looks like it’s going to be one beauty of a day. HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew should be on their way in another couple of hours and if I disappear for a while after they arrive, well, you’ll know what I’m up to!
Let’s see what’s happening in the world of soccer, first. I see [...]
Okay, checking out the scene here on a Thursday morning. I am (of course) in a hurry. So here are some quick updates:
HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew will be here this weekend! Hooray! Hopefully the snowstorm/rainstorm that appears to be brewing (get it?) won’t interfere.
The reviews of the new WPS uniforms have been decidedly mixed. Here are [...]
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 [...]
Do you live in one of America’s ten most miserable cities? Hope not. That would be miserable. And speaking of miserable – I’d forgotten that Laura Ingraham existed,’til I read this on Huffington. Glad Arlen gave her a scolding. Nothing wrong with debate – but if we had a few fewer of these shrill, [...]

Pat Summitt’s Lady Vols gave her a solid, at-home victory over Georgia … and her 1000th win last night! She wanted to hit the milestone at home on the court named after her — and she did — thanks to her “Baby Vols” — a team that includes 7 freshmen!
How does she do it? Leadership [...]
First off, is Andrew Card crazy? He’s tweaked about Obama disrespecting the office of the Presidency. Why? Because Obama changed the dress code at the White House. Good grief. Is that what Andrew Card really thinks? Is he a grown-up? (And I loved the comments on this piece … especially the one about how the [...]
I can’t believe that I am doing this … but I feel moved to add the White House website to the links here in the JordanCornblog sidebar. I feel moved to explore the site, read the blog, check it all out periodically. What is happening? As someone who grew up in the sixties and came [...]

Time is flying by and I am late (a too-predictable refrain these winter mornings). I’d been on a roll with getting up and exercising so far this week, but a late night spelled a late rising this morning. So I’ll see the treadmill tomorrow, but not today. Maybe I’ll hit the bike tonight … not [...]
You’ll need ‘em after reading the piece that appeared in Salon yesterday – an overview and accounting of the damage wrought by Bush et al in their years in DC. It begins:
After a couple of presidential terms, mismanagement in every area of policy — foreign, domestic, even extraterrestrial — starts to add up. When George [...]
Saturday morning … and please remind me to not eat handfuls of chocolate-covered cherries while Watching Rachel Maddow … and before going to bed! And I don’t mean the sweet syrupy kind – but nice tart ones – delicious, for sure – and probably marginally good for me (yes, I do believe I could make [...]
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 [...]
