EXCERPT: Watching March Madness is like watching a movie for a month without having any idea what’s about to happen. Heads or tails, we win.
This NCAA men’s college basketball season is like watching the red carpet before the Academy Awards. The real action is about to start. A-Lister’s like North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA and Duke have confidently flashed million dollar smiles all season long as we’ve watched them strut their stuff towards the Big Dance. Flashy newcomers like Tennessee, Drake...

EXCERPT: Men of the cloth have been influencing politics since the beginning of time, but why do they still matter? The Founding Fathers of America explicitly ruled out their participation in politics from the very start.
Priests, ministers, miracle workers and street performers have somehow obtained a permanent backdoor entrance, pun intended, into the American political arena.
I know republicans love breaching the Constitution by neglecting to ackknowledge the separation of church and state,...

EXCERPT: Welcome to my 1st Annual NBA Power Rankings. Being one of the last remaining true NBA fans on the planet I believe I'm totally capable of putting together a comprehensive list that many, many people will disagree with.
Instead of a traditional Power Rankings Poll I am only listing the teams with a legitimate shot at winning the NBA title. Here it goes...
1. San Antonio Spurs: They're the Champs until someone knocks them off. They might not be the sexy pick but they still get...

EXCERPT: The people in Michigan and Florida should demand that their votes count in this years democratic primary. Then they should be denied faster than Hillary by the 3 a.m. girl.  Since we do not live in a truly democratic society we are forced to live with the decisions made by our elected officials.
The delegates from Michigan and Florida, who decided to illegally move forward their state's primaries, don't deserve to be seated at the DNC. The elected officials are acting...

EXCERPT: The Toad tried unsuccessfully to characterize the voting paradigm of the upcoming presidential election. His conclusions are wrong.
Americans have simply been inspired to vote for two great candidates and equally disgusted with the continuation of the current administration that John McCain represents. I personally know lifelong republicans that plan to vote for Obama because they genuinely believe he is the bet candidate.
Barack Obama will beat John McCain in the national election...

EXCERPT: George W. Bush is being humiliated on every possible level. His fall from grace should be handled the same way as Britney's: Pack up the Ford-150 and head back to "the country" to spend some time with daddy.
Kofi Annan, the former UN Secretary General whose productivity in office was ambiguous at best, is grabbing global headlines as chief negotiator in Kenyan.
It appears Annan brokered a dramatic deal to fix a violent feud between ethnic political parties. Sound familiar...

EXCERPT: Even Tiger Woods would find it tough to play golf on a course with an 18 foot wall through the middle of it. Call it an unnatural hazard in the ill-fated attempts being made by the US Government to solve the countries immigration issues.
A proposal's been passed to build a Border Wall along the Texas-Mexico border. The wall will use eminent domain to claim land provided to families by the King of Spain in the 18th century but will not interfere with a golfer's tee shot.
Proposed...

EXCERPT: The mainstream media has long been criticized for glossing over issues that require depth and understanding.
They deserve the criticism, and then some.
In last night’s democratic debate in Cleveland, Ohio both candidates regurgitated the same messages, the same political jargon, the same bulls*** they’ve been saying their entire campaign.
Doesn’t the discussion, between two supposed great minds, have to progress at some point? Shouldn’t they be forced to cover more details, more...

EXCERPT: The awesomely idiotic Jackass crew used Obama's "Yes We Can" chant to storm the denizens of corporate MTV headquarters for their 24-hour takeover of the network. I don't know what Knoxville and his boy's were thinking when they started the chant, but there's a lot to be said about the tune they decided to march too.
Every time someone says Obama's rhetoric is empty, or Obama can't accomplish anything, or Obama is a secret, Islamic terrorist sent to destroy the American ...

EXCERPT: Every so-called progressive not willing to vote for a black guy or a woman can now support the most progressive guy in the race, Ralph "I did not cause 8 years of Bush" Nader.
I've always respected Mr. Nader. He has done more good for this country than just about every damn politician out there. I realize he wants the candidates to focus more on progressive issues and if that's his only goal great, but voting for this guy would be like voting for a ham sandwich.
Without...
