The Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins played Major League Baseball’s version of a “play-in” game tonight. There is nothing like October baseball — even if my beloved Yankees aren’t in the hunt for the championship. But, the rule that resulted in the end of the Twins’ season is ridiculous.
After 162 games, the two teams [...]
If last week’s financial mess was crisis enough for McCain to suspend his campagin, what will he do this week? It sounds like this is a bigger crisis — with the bailout failing and no real Plan B on the backburner. Will he suspend his campaign again? Maybe just in time for Palin to skip [...]
Last week, Congress was *this close* to having a deal worked out … then John McCain swooped in –crushing all hopes of a bipartisan financial rescue plan. With presidential politics injected into the craziness, the House just defeated the bill. The Dow just dropped another 700 points.
Congressional leadership needs to get their act together. If [...]
Clearly, the sports media — specifically those voting in the AP college football poll — have lost all sense of what is right and wrong. They’re so blinded by their love and obsession with SEC that they’ve lost the ability to rank teams according to their actual play on the field.
That’s the only explanation for [...]
First, George Will:
Conservatives who insist that electing McCain is crucial usually start, and increasingly end, by saying he would make excellent judicial selections. But the more one sees of his impulsive, intensely personal reactions to people and events, the less confidence one has that he would select judges by calm reflection and clear principles, having [...]
With all the attention paid to the impending financial bailout and the presidential campaigns, many other stories aren’t getting the appropriate attention in the news. As such, you may not have heard about Russia’s offer of a $1 billion loan to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to purchase arms.
According to the New York Times:
The move is [...]
I’ve tried to come up with an appropriate — and not terribly disrespectful — title for this post. But, I can’t.
So, I’ll skip the title and just get to the point. If I could speak to John McCain, here’s what I would say:
Sen. McCain, please stop being a wuss. Show up. Debate Obama. You say the [...]
Talk about political posturing. I thought McCain picking Palin was a political stunt … but his latest move is even more outlandish. As everyone has heard by now, McCain announced that he’s going to suspend his campagin to focus on the economy.
My head is swirling with reactions. A stream of random reactions:
McCain’s economic plan is [...]
Scott Maxwell is a columnist with the Orlando Sentinel. He does a very good job of taking aim and Democrats and Republicans. He offers fair commentary on the news. Today’s column is brilliant — summing up the frustration many people feel about so-called Christians who hide behind the Bible when it comes to “values” issues. [...]
I am sitting at my kitchen table, watching the festivities at Yankee Stadium and it’s hard to believe that my favorite baseball team is switching homes. The “House that Ruth Built” will provide that home-field advantage tonight for the last time.
Whether you love or hate the Yankees, there’s no denying the stadium’s place in sports [...]
