The Luskin/Atrios brouhaha is over.
First off, the name. I'm sick of it. "Rock the vote." I thought it was stupid when MTV came out with it decades ago, and I think it's stupid today. They should've canned that slogan the same time they got rid of "Just Say No." The soundbite montage was funny -- I suspect it will […]
I confess. I watched that ABC "news" special and recorded NBC's "Average Joe." I'm sorry, but I just couldn't stop myself from taking some perverse interest/joy in watching a drop-jaw-gorgeous beautiful woman dream of 16 prince charmings and instead get stuck with 16 "average" guys.

When I first saw this come over the wire, that's what I thought. Arkansas 71, Kentucky 63.
I recently finished reading McKay Jenkins' "The Last Ridge," a history of the Army's famed 10th Mountain Division. Anyone interested in military history or WWII will enjoy this book and earn a new appreciation of some of the men who fought in the mountains of Italy. While historians such as Stephen E. Ambrose have written […]
