A Show of Hands, Please

Does anyone think the Obama Administration will lead the charge suggested by my man, E.J. Dionne: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/25/AR2010072502756.html?  I wouldn’t let the MSM off the hook here (and he doesn’t), but now is the time for the President to start motivating the troops by standing up to the other guy.

Yes? or No?

If you don't remember the "Yes, We Can" video from 2008 or didn't see the end of the House debate before the HCR vote Sunday night, this video may not completely resonate with you, but it makes a great point:

Virgin Wins Again

While Delta surprised me on the way out to SF, I have to say that nothing tops Virgin America. Today, boarding my return flight, they impressed me yet again. After boarding first class, they boarded everyone without roller suitcases. This seems very obvious to me, but I've never seen it before. Boarding without a rollerboard is much quicker (don't have people jamming up the aisle, trying to stuff their so-big-it-needs-to-be-checked suitcase in the overhead. The boarding process was insanely quick.

Thank you Virgin. Let's hope everyone else copies you.

Early Departure

Amazingly, Delta has decided to schedule my flight to depart 5 minutes early (which I discovered upon reaching my gate). I realize it's only a small time period, but I feel like this is some kind of victory for all humankind.

Wizards or Huskies?

We could really use him for the stretch run. Seriously, isn't this the argument for some kind of idiot clause? I get that Thabeet is making gobs of money, even when he gets sent to North Dakota (how many Tanzanians are in ND?), but can't they come up with some escape/return/ejection/undrafting clause that let's guys, who were never ready in the first place, go back to college for the tourney? It's like expanded rosters for the playoffs!

Maybe I'm biased because UConn has so many of these guys: Rudy Gay, Donyell Marshall, Thabeet, etc. I'm shocked Stanley Robinson stuck around after last year. Despite his terrible year, I'm sure someone was telling him he had the right "length" and "ability."
