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 [...]

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 [...]

Lincoln’s birthday … always an important date in my Book of Days. I do wish that we had never gone the President’s Day route – just too generic for my taste.  I was not consulted, however.
Bookeaters are celebrating Mr. Lincoln’s birth with a perusal of Daniel Mark Epstein’s book, The Lincoln’s:  Portrait of a Marriage.  [...]

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 [...]

Russ Feingold is going to be introducing a proposed amendment to the US Constitution that will require special elections to fill vacated Senate seats.  Some states already do this by State law — and Feingold’s amendment would require all to do so.  He states:

“The controversies surrounding some of the recent gubernatorial appointments to vacant Senate [...]

Yesterday President Barack Obama repealed the Mexico City Policy
- the infamous gag rule that pulled funding from health care providers who offered (or even just talked about) certain health care options for women.  Yeah, you know what I’m talking about.  Obama’s Day Three … was a mixed bag, reminding me that change is a process [...]

Have you been having trouble this week keeping track of what day it is?  I’m not complaining about the Thursday Holidays, mind you – but it’s made for some serious disorientation.  Nice and quiet at work, though.  I’ve been digging through things I hadn’t gotten to for months, and my in-box is down to just [...]

Tomorrow at 6AM we’ll start the next leg of the Olympic tournament journey. There’s not a lot in the way of soccer news in the interim. The WNT Blog is a good place to track the USWNT’s travels and preparation for tomorrow’s showdown with Canada. An upbeat and determined Canadian squad is looking for a [...]

With a win over DePaul last night, Coach C. Vivian Stringer of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights joined Jody Conradt and Pat Sumitt in the 800 wins club.  An amazing achievement in an amazing career!
I believe I and some of my basketball playing buddies are part of her record, as we likely contributed to her win tally [...]

After you’ve been doing this blogging thing, it gets to be tough coming up with titles.  I bet someone (scratch that … LOTS OF PEOPLE) conducts workshops on that very topic in small, stale, Danish-and-coffee saturated conference rooms all around the country … or even more likely, in on line webinars!  Anyway – I haven’t been to [...]
