The latest on Imus, beginning to end

Who said something stupid?
Don Imus?
There you go.  Now you know.

My draft vs. the real draft

Folks, my 20 percent success rate puts me on par with some of the best known analysts on television.  
 1. Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls - He’s gonna be great, from the beginning.  What’s funny is that they drafted a similar player (strong, could get to the cup) several years ago in Jason (Jay) Williams, out of Duke, except I think [...]

This is WAY too fat

Sometimes you just have to laugh.

Mock NBA draft

Just having a little fun here, limited to the top of Round 1.  I don’t follow the league closely enough to be an expert — in particular I’m going to be guessing about salary-cap fits — but I can pretend for a day.  Read the following as a mix of prediction/instruction.
1.  Chicago Bulls — Derrick Rose, Memphis, to run [...]

In defense of the old guy (and his staffer)

So John McCain is talking about the one area where he has a clear perceived advantage over Obama and Charlie Black, McCain’s aide, basically says that an attack on the United States would be to McCain’s “big advantage.”  If I’m reading right, this is the question he was asked.
This isn’t like Hillary bringing up assassination [...]

White like Obama

So Barack Obama is running right towards the center.  It’s not only his red-state ad, but his Father’s Day speech.  This happens in every general election, but the fact that my man is African-American adds another dimension.  He’s basically got to say to a wide swath of Americans that he’s not a scary black man.
Guess what?  [...]

Oliphant needs to be gone

Click on this link to see why.  I’m trying to figure out if this cartoon has any redeeming features.  No pun intended. 
There’s plenty to not recommend… a big-lipped, giant-footed, slouching, basketball-holding, tooth-picking black man… and that’s without the text.  I swear, if I hadn’t known about Obama or his speech I would have guessed this [...]

Now is the time

I remember when I heard Kevin Garnett in a radio interview after he’d declared for the 1995 NBA draft, in which he’d become the first player to be chosen straight out of high school since Moses Malone, 21 years earlier.  Garnett was nervous and unpolished.  I don’t remember what he said but I winced.  I [...]

How low can we go?

I tend to think that most people are innately smart.  I also think that a whole lotta people act dumb because they haven’t developed their brains.  This society produces a lot of sleepwalkers, same as it produces a lot of go-getters.  This leads to a lot of contrast.  Anyways, all this rumination ’cause I saw this [...]
