Read Naomi Wolf’s thorough and absolutely horrific article about the sexual perversity perpetrated by the Bushies in Iraq and elsewhere. I do not understand why Obama is rationalizing and temporizing about releasing the photos and really going after these sadomasochistic pricks.
The activities of these dudes so speaks to the fruits of the kind of self-righteousness [...]

Well, there is big news on the WPS front with the firing of Ian Sawyers as the FC sky blue coach. Should be interesting to watch Sunday’s game as FC sky blue versus the Breakers is the match being televised on Fox soccer Channel at 6 PM.
I think I remember that Mr. Sawyers has had [...]
Yahoo … RPE is home!
Kudos to Obama on an excellent (and politically astute) choice.
I do not like Giant Forest Hogs (think Rush Limbaugh).
Nor do I like the Black Mamba Snake (think … hmmm … Mitt Romney?)
RPE will have to tell the tale(s).
I DO like Safari Lager … will have to see if HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew [...]
It’s finally Friday, and after work today I’ll be driving over Hogback to HollyCornblog’s house! She says she’ll have the chiminea going and some homebrews ready for sampling when I get there!
In soccer news I see that, apparently, a share of the LA Sol is going to be up for grabs soon. Any buyers? Any [...]
That’s not a typo – but I’m morose as well, after Rebecca Moros scored for the Freedom against the Breakers, and all the blue team could come up with was a tie in yesterday’s match. I am sure that they wanted to pull off the win against the Abby-less Freedom … and with Maren Meinert [...]
Yup – it’s a busy day in Canterbury, with lots of computer work on tap, as well as some growing grass to catch up with, a bike to get to the bike shop, maybe even a little bit of exercise (other than mowing) and reading to squeeze in along the way. (Hah!)
Here’s the WPS preview [...]

Phillies won, Red Sox won .. and I’ve got the Slingcatcher hooked up and working in Dewd’s room!
Meanwhile, the Breakers will be honoring soccer great Maren Meinert at the game with the Freedom on May 17th at Harvard Stadium. WUSA fans remember her fondly as a key ingredient in the Breakers’ success – most especially [...]
Wow – what a race! I’ve watched the video twice and still can’t quite track how it happened. Red Sox, Phillies and Celtics all won their respective games yesterday … and the Breakers came back after a disappointing and lackluster performance against the Red Stars to beat Marta and her LA Sol at Hahvard!
And what [...]

Healing is painful.
Coming out from under the shadow cast by the past 8 years (and the even larger shadow cast by the long ascendency of the rabid religious right) is going to take time. A long, painful, and ultimately freeing process in which the stories that emerge, both large and small, are heartbreaking and infuriating.
Here’s [...]
With lots of the WPS internationals overseas for friendlies, this should be an interesting stretch for the WPS. Here’s a quick preview from Melissa … and note, the Breakers-Red Stars game will be available for on-line viewing. Cool! 8:30 PM ET …
The English nationals are tearing up the pitch, defeating Norway 3-0 in [...]
Happy Saturday morning … as the clouds roll in, bringing some much needed rain to these parts. I went for a run yesterday after work and jogging by the fire house, noticed the sign saying that the fire danger was “extreme.” (Breathed a small sigh of relief that I wasn’t lounging by the chiminea, endangering [...]
HollyCornblog probably won’t like this post … but here goes.
First we have an interview with Pia, who talks about the USWNT and her take on the WPS — tough to hear in parts, but interesting. Looking for someone to step into Kate’s spot … among other things. (Sounds pretty tepid about Milbrett there at the [...]
… but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the nearly 5,000 Breakers fans who trooped to Cambridge to see their Boston Blues defeat the St. Louis Athletica 2-0 in their home opener at Harvard Stadium. Here are the Week 3 WPS Power Rankings by Jo-Ryan Salazar. (I’ll track these through the season on my WPS [...]
And so, it is done. UConn started a little bit slow, but gained momentum and seriously outplayed Louisville for the 3rd time in as many meetings this year. Louisville looked good at the start, but couldn’t sustain momentum against the smooth, efficient, disciplined Connecticut side. So they cap an undefeated season with a National Championship. [...]
Amazing game last night as the Louisville Cardinels took it to Oklahoma and are moving on to the national championship game. Angel McCoughtry came back after a dismal first half and scored 14 of her 18 points in the second frame as she helped her team put away the Sooners. Now they have the dubious [...]
Thanks, AMR, for the link to this very special bracket! (I must say I’m a bit disappointed to see that he didn’t also complete a bracket on the women’s side. There’s still time, Mr. President!)
I am also trying to figure out if there is any way to get his picks into our pool here … [...]

As you gear up for March Madness, check out this great women’s basketball time-line – from Helen Wheelock of Women’sBasketballOnline.com.
Looking at the time-line that runs through the ’70’s makes me feel a whole lot better about losing to the West Chester State freshman team year after year after year.
And check out this article by Senda [...]
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 [...]
Okay, of that group, which one(s) would you put your money on?
Citi had a good day and the market bounced … meanwhile, Newsweek has put out a great piece outlining the warring amongst the rich – a greed-fed battle they dub “the war between the estates.”
In the past two years, since the market peaked, investors [...]
