I hear Barry Obama say that we’ve taken our eye off the ball in Afghanistan. During the debate he raised the stakes a bit by proclaming we had completely deprived our effort in Afghanistan of resources. Obama seems fixated on catching Osama Bin Laden. Yes, this would be a magnificent coup for our country. But [...]
With capital markets in disarray and a credit freeze looming, John McCain on Wednesday announced that he was suspending his campaign to fly to Washington to deal with the crisis. Immediately, McCain faced charges from Democrats that this was some sort of politically motivated stunt. Barack Obama, responding to McCain’s desire to postpone the debate, [...]
We live in an era where every gaffe made by public figures is immediately packaged into a five minute video and made available to the world on the internet. Political figures are particularly vulnerable to this. Every miscue is considered evidence of whatever bad trait is attached to that particular politician. We’ve seen this for [...]
Eagles Nation is on pins and needles about the health of Brian Westbrook (ankle) and Donnie Mac (chest contusion). Whether or not they play in Chicago this weekend could be a game time decision.

OK. I buried Brian Dawkins too soon last week. Yesterday’s win (15-6) against the Steelers was, in my mind, almost as good a game as the “instant classic” played in Dallass last Monday night. The Eagle’s defense came up huge, knocking Ben Rothlisberger out of the game after sacking him eight times. The Birds threw [...]
I’m 44 years old and six foot even. For the last fifteen years of my life, I’ve over-indulged in a lot of ways. Suffice to say I’ve had my fair share of food and drink over that time. I was last in shape in 1993, when I attended Coast Guard Officer Candidate School. I arrived [...]
Barack Obama blames John McCain and George Bush. John McCain blames Wall Street. The Democratic Congress blames greedy corporations and Fox News blames the Chairman of the SEC, the Secretary of the Treasury and Barney Frank. Main Street blames all of the above. Share on Facebook
There’s no shortage of them, is there? Josh, I don’t know you. But I suspect there’s a reason why you aren’t playing basketball in Argentina, Serbia or Italy. I suspect that reason has much to do with the cabbage you earn. That you are able to earn such coin is a result of the prosperity [...]
