Runnin' Scared by Ward Harkavy Maybe it would be better for the league to re-hire [crooked ref Tim] Donaghy and have him fix one of the New Jersey Nets' games so they could finally win one. Brooklyn still loves the Bums, but not these bums and is warning Bruce Ratner not to bring them to the borough. link

So, we had this idea. Regardless of what your feelings are on the season thusfar, it’s something we need to do as loyal SPURS fans and it’s overdue. I've been a SPURS fan all my life. I remember the days of Gervin, the Hemisfair, the Bums, fuscia, the Memorial Day Miracle, the Rodman experiment, and now the Duncan era. I've grown accustomed throughout my fanhood in realizing that we are...

If you are sitting in class taking a test, and you’ve chosen to sit amongst your bone-headed, slacker friends, don’t turn to them for help when you can’t figure out of any of the answers. They may all tell you the same thing, but they’ll all be wrong. That’s the situation President Obama finds himself in today in the White House. Having surrounded himself with the very...

The electorate was pretty tough on incumbents tonight. Democrats got kicked out in Virginia and New Jersey, Republicans got kicked out in NY-23, and Michael Bloomberg, who was expected to win reelection in a rout, only barely squeaked by. John Garamendi won in CA-10, but that was hardly a race in the first place. I guess that's not too big a surprise considering the lousy economy and the generally...

Add this to your political fact book: The “Obama Bounce” only exists when Barack Obama is running. It disappears when he is not. The pundits who guessed Virginia would be a “Blue State” post-Obama can quit their jobs now. Stick...

A sizable majority of Americans (64 percent) say the country would be better off by throwing “most” members of Congress out, a jump of 19 percentage points from two years ago. Only about one in five Americans (19 percent) feels the average representative deserves to be re-elected, a seven-point drop from October of 2007.

Grant's Philly Cheesesteaks It's killing me that I can't be at the Locust Tavern in Philly to watch the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies knock C.C. Sabathia and the Bums from the Bronx around in this year's Fall Classic. But while I can't raise a pint of Yuengling to mark the start of tonight's World Series Game One, I did take a drive out to Grant's Philly Cheesesteaks on the 153rd Block...
