Why not lie to Congress?

Posted on March 26, 2008. Filed under: Lying to Congress, perjury | Tags: , , |

Just about any reputable poll reveals that most Americans believe politicians lie to the people. And there is no real penalty for political prevarications. Yet the penalty for the average citizen lying to Congress is a possible prison sentence. Until Congress and other politicians stop lying to us, there should be no penalty for us [...]

NCAA tournament like great sex

Posted on March 24, 2008. Filed under: NCAA basketball--best action | Tags: , , |

The men’s NCAA basketball tournament is like great sex, which, for most of us guys, is any sex at all. In 18 days you get all the action you could want, and a true national champion–not the best team, but a championship. In contrast, the NBA season is like waiting all week for a chance [...]

There is no D in Denver

Posted on March 19, 2008. Filed under: Denver Nuggets, no defense | Tags: , , , , , |

The Denver Nuggets are a curious bunch. When you list four of their five starters, eyebrows raise with high expectations. Carmello Anthony and Allen Iverson can give 50 combined points a night. Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby can defend and rebound while giving you enough points night in and night out. So what’s the problem? [...]

Terrific Tiger

Posted on March 17, 2008. Filed under: Bay Hill, Tiger Woods | Tags: , , , , |

Tiger is terrific. In his past two wins he tied Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan at 62 and 64 wins, respectively. Woods is 32. Hogan and Palmer were 43. He can win any way possible. The only thing he has not done is to come from far behind on Sunday and win a major, as [...]

Does Jim Boeheim have “March madness”?

Posted on March 17, 2008. Filed under: Jim Boeheim, NCAA tournament, Syracuse | Tags: , , , |

Jim Boeheim wants more teams in the NCAA tournament, as if 65/64 is not enough. Hey, Orangeman, if you can’t end the season better than 19-13 and rated high enough to be considered one of the 64 best teams in the nation, there is a place for you–the NIT. Win that and maybe next year’s [...]

John Daly: poor pupil

Posted on March 13, 2008. Filed under: John Daly, kicked out at Bay Hill | Tags: , , , |

Poor John Daly. If what he says is true, he needs every nickel he can get from the generosity of a sponsor’s exemption, and now he has blown that by getting himself DQ’d at Bay Hill. Until now, Daly has been a great draw, but if people want to see overweight, underdisciplined performers, they can [...]

Hillary could be president with one word

Posted on March 13, 2008. Filed under: Hillary Clinton, Politics, election | Tags: , , , |

Poor Hillary. She is clinging like a jilted lover, using her claws to hold her tenuous position trailing Barack Obama and not a thing to be done to make up her deficit. This should be the presidency that was lost on one word–NO. If only she had said NO to the war in Iraq when [...]

Broncos grasping

Posted on March 12, 2008. Filed under: Broncos free agents, Denver Broncos, football | Tags: , , , , |

The Denver Broncos have been active in the free agent market. They acquired several journeymen (safeties Marlon McCree and Marquand Manuel, linebackers Boss Bailey and Niko Koutouvides, and wide receiver/returner Edell Shepherd). Journeymen sometimes pan out, sometimes not. Journeymen are not what the Broncos need. They might get solid seasons from two of these four. [...]

Favre retiring

Posted on March 7, 2008. Filed under: favre retiring | Tags: , |

Brett Favre’s press conference officially announcing his retirment was emotional. It was hard to watch without getting a bit choked up myself. Emotional is the one word to describe Favre’s play throughout his career. He truly loved the game and played like it every Sunday–high fiving, jumping into the arms of a receiver, carrying [...]
