Does the Electoral map and the distribution of African Americans in this country make you think that whites in the south can’t vote for a black candidate?  Disconcerting, to say the least.  Obama takes lily white Iowa but can’t carry SC, GA, AL, MS, or LA.
The new Google Phone, aka the T-Mobile G-1, aka “Android”, […]

I’ve written about the dreadfulness of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays before…but I know I’m not the only one. Now they’ve changed their name, losing the “Devil” and the seagoing mascot, instead opting for the sun ray as their logo/mascot. Don’t mistake it for a ray of hope though. Their hat still […]

I was happy to see the Colorado Buffaloes beat Oklahoma this past weekend…I went to CU-Boulder from ‘92-94, prior to transferring. I didn’t miss a single home football game, and rarely missed basketball games. But I was glad I left when I did (and haven’t made the effort to get back for Homecoming […]

At least the NASCAR Hall of Fame will be in Charlotte.  Other sports Halls of Fame in the U.S. are positively out of the way, and while they are no doubt a boon to their local economies, I feel they do their sports a disservice by being so remote.  The Hockey Hall of Fame is […]

As of 2005, the US population was estimated to be 80.2% white. However, our Little League World Series (LLWS) this year, according to my visual estimate, was 97.9% white. Of the 97 players shown in the team photos, 95 appeared to be caucasian. You too can play along, just click on the […]

Just returned from two weeks in Bethany Beach DE, most days having been spent at our son’s swimming lessons followed by time at the beach. While most of our trip was uneventful, I noticed some peculiarities during my time there.
I don’t know what Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band looks like. My […]

I think it started with J-Lo (Jennifer Lopez, and then K-Fed (Kevin Federline), T-Mac (Tracy McGrady), D-Wade (Dwyane Wade), and A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez).
I’m just glad it hasn’t made it’s way to Sheryl Crow, who would be “Escrow,” or Celine Dion (”Seedy”).
Others you can think of that just wouldn’t work?
