So, for the past couple of months I've been getting these postcards in the mail from a company contracted by the Grossmont Union High School District asking for various information for the Granite Hills High School class of '90 graduate directory. Problem: I graduated from Helix High School. I finally got around to calling the […]

LaDanian Tomlinson won the NFL's Most Valuable Player award today and we here at Hoystory congratulate him. Just one question: Who are the two brain-dead sportswriters who voted for Peyton Manning? Seriously, I can see an argument being made for voting for Saints QB Drew Brees with all that he has meant to that team, […]

Suzanne Magaziner, wife of Ira Magaziner who headed then-first lady Hillary Clinton's health care task force in the early '90s, had drunken driving charges against her dropped under "mysterious circumstances." A politically wired campaign fund-raiser with ties to Gov.-elect Deval Patrick and former President Clinton has been cleared of drunken driving charges, despite allegedly failing […]

It's a little bit like having Paris Hilton call Lindsay Lohan a slut. The old schoolyard taunt of "it takes one to know one" comes to mind.

It's too often been said by conservative policy wonks that the U.S. State Department represents every country on the Earth -- except the U.S. That is, they lobby our government for foreign interests, rather than foreign governments for our interests. A case in point is the treatment of the still-dead terrorist Yasser Arafat. Scott Johnson […]
