The Hibachi is Back, and Waiting for the Other Guys (UPDATE: Video!)
Gilbert drained a tough three-pointer at the buzzer to send the game into OT but the Pacers pulled out the win 119-110. Caron Butler and Antawn Jameson both had sub-par shooting nights, which hurt the team. Butler, in fact, missed the first of two free throws right near the end of the game which would [...]
How Does This Happen?
I’ve seen this story from the University of Delaware about five or six times in the past couple days. Every time I see it I wonder what educator in their right mind could possibly accept the coercive reeducation of young people under their charge? What strange little switch in their heads flipped over to “totalitarian” [...]

His work can be found in plenty of places: over 100 books, the Gorey-inspired opening credits of the long running Mystery series [...]

The NBA has a new marketing slogan this year, “Where Amazing Happens” which is, I think, a way for the league to step away from the old marketing scheme which was pretty much to pump up a few star players and let the merchandising for those guys (Kobe, Shaq, D-Wade, Kevin Garnett, etc) carry the [...]
Forget the Tree and the Woods. I Have A Better Question?
If several members of a leftist activist group plead guilty to their part in the largest case of election fraud in Washington State history and it barely makes a ripple in the MSM, did it really happen? Or is voter fraud not such a big deal since the left hasn’t found any evidence that the [...]
Gilbert Arenas, NBA Superstar and Decent Man
With the Washington Wizards opener right around the corner, Mike Wise wrote a very good article about All-Star point guard Gilbert Arenas that I think you’ll like. Arenas did not have an easy life by any stretch, but thanks to his father and some good folks around him, he’s become a good man, although not [...]
