Road to Accountability Should Go Through Courts

I believe USC and the Pac 10 Conference should join forces and make the bold move of suing pariah tailback Reggie Bush for the millions in bowl revenue they will lose. Maybe that would get the attention of narcissistic college athletes.

How Big Are Barack Obama’s Balls?

If I was Obama’s speechwriter, here’s the theme I’d pitch: “Today, all but the most privileged of Americans are slaves — slaves to Wall Street and its excesses. It’s time for a new emancipation proclamation. Join me as we take back America!”

What I Knew and When I Knew It

I ruminated for days on end, knowing that dozens of journalist friends would have killed to know what I knew about Tiger Woods, friends who could have advanced their careers by breaking the story. But I held back for two reasons.

Road to Recovery

OK, I’m gonna shill for the Obama camp, but this job loss chart just can’t be ignored.

The fact that you win or lose does not mean Jesus Christ, or any other mythical diety, is or is not on your side. You are not being rewarded, punished or challenged to do better. You simply won. Or you lost. Leave those biblical passages in the locker room.

Fire Bowden? How About Fire Mickey?

Sure, Bobby Bowden could have spared himself all this grief by retiring gracefully a few years ago. But why isn’t once-vaunted defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews being blamed just as lustily for FSU’s slide into mediocrity? Just askin’.

Commentary: Open your minds, America – CNN.com

You must read Commentary: Open your minds, America – CNN.com. My favorite line from the essay: “The willingness to change one’s mind in the light of new evidence is a sign of rationality not weakness.” Ergo, the argument for secularism over orthodoxy in government.
