By the standards of International Cycling, Barry Bonds wouldn’t be playing. The scandal is massive. Bonnie DeSimone who used to write for the Trib, is covering the Tour for the Boston Globe again and gives the full story here. I’ve never thought I was naive about doping in cycling.

The only upside to this whole deal is that it hit on a Friday before the holiday. Otherwise, this is just huge. Lisa might refer to this as the Bill Brady can bite me letter. Notice the dates of the conversation were in May, fully a week before Brady apparently asks Madigan to break the […]

I can’t claim credit for the following, though, I have to say, I pretty much agree with it. If you need someone to ‘sign it’, I’m fine with me being that person. And for the record, I think Schweitzer is a political stud. OPEN LETTER TO DAVID SIROTA Dear David: I enjoy reading your blogs […]

To Lynn Sweet’s credit, she POSTED it yesterday and now follows it up with a far better description than most of the news stories. She nails the thesis: Obama has an important message about the need for Democrats to reach out to people of faith in America and not make concessions to the right-wingers who […]

Sorry Jeff, anyone running a campaign who relies upon some clown who doesn’t sign a contract or pay someone money is an idiot. It’s pretty much the definition of idiocy.

Eric challenges Obama to identify one person who thinks the faith of an individual should be left at the door before entering the public sphere.

I cited Nathan Newman yesterday and I’m doing it again–he’s one of the most underlinked bloggers on the net. What’s remarkable about some of the blog and other reactions is that folks seem to be talking about every policy other than the one Obama himself seemed to emphasize for change, which is progressive opposition to […]

To discuss me. Only if there is free beer For those who followed the debacle about the guy who posted a comment making fun of Tammy Duckworth being an amputee with an offensive video, check out Sirota’s comment and the follow-up.
