I recently read and enjoyed the following, so feel free to hook that up for yourself: This UK Daily Mail profile of John McCain’s first wife. I had always heard about his first marriage, but knew next to nothing about it. Definitely a sensationalist source, but an unflattering new look. An article on the prevalence […]
I was sad to hear that Tim Russert died today at 58. He represented one of the last of the genial TV-news hosts in a field of openly biased shouters, and for that he was appreciated. There are times he should have been a lot more confrontational — the Iraq war buildup never did have […]
What on Earth is this about? (Watch to the end) Who even says “Negro” anymore? What does Clarence Page make of this? Are “Orientals” the next Issue One? So many questions as you make me look bad for loving your show here, J McL. Bye bye!

I haven’t seen stifling defense like that since the New Jersey trap era. Props […]
Quick hits: Clinton might not have won, but she certainly gets to play kingmaker. She set the pattern for the fall: black people and people under 40 for the O-man, and everybody else for her. Once you add in the masses of lily-white crotchety Republicans and extrapolate that same pattern, it looks like Obama loses […]
You know, I was all set to write the Pens’ obituary, and yet I should not have given up on those Frenchies Maxime and Marc-André. And, of course, Sykora with calling the goal. The whole thing was the shiznit. Now they need to avoid coming back and blowing Game 6 by 8-0 or something. And […]
I can barely even watch this, dudes. There are a few too many spectacular saves for comfort.
