It's a cold day here in Maryland... the temperature is hovering at 21 degrees... and if it weren't for a good reason, I'd be staying OUT of the Chesapeake bay...

However, today is the Polar Bear Plunge that's benefitting the State of Maryland Special Olympics.

I am a participant, and I need $135.00 more dollars to reach my goal.

Game five... Cardinals lead the Tigers in a best of 7 series 3-1.

What impact will this series have on the elections?

Who are you rooting for?

Can the Tigers pull off a miracle upset?

Can Claire McCaskill pull off a win vs. Jim Talent?

Do you think Boston's win in '04 energized the anti-kerry crowd and gave an edge to Bush (back then)?

Discuss all these issues below!

RE: I DON'T FUCKING CARE

Dear Sirs,

I don't care what you have to say about the inappropriate use of imagery regarding this years upcoming elections and the war on terror. Why not? Because it's obvious that you don't care about the war on terror, much less the sacrifices Americans everywhere have made for the past five years in hopes of catching those responsible. I think we ought to have the images of 9/11 posted everywhere with the caption "We still haven't caught him yet".

A friend of mine who went along on a candidates float during a parade relayed a story of horror and dismay, as the people who were following the float distributing candy had not been properly instructed as to how to go about doing this.

It's a simple thing, admitedly, but nonetheless, pointers should be given: Read More

2nd and final race of the year for the Nascar Nextel Cup series at the Daytona Superspeedway...

As we approach the middle of the season many storylines are coming into play...

Jimmy Johnson is the current Nextel Cup points leader...
Dale Jr. lost his father during a race at this track...
Boris Said, road course ringer, takes the Bud pole...
Tony Stewart won this race last year amid a sea of cautions, finally taking the checked flag after midnight...

On the 7/24/05 edition of CBS News Sunday Morning,there was a segment featuring Ben Stein giving an open letter to the President.

He started off reiterating the bogus claim that Plame wasn't undercover because she had a desk in Langley... but moved on to make the point that Bush should learn from the Nixon example - protect your political friends at all costs. Stein said that giving up a friend (Rove) to the wolves would only make their appetite more voracious, and soon Bush would find himself fending off the media and the dems by himself without any loyal aides at his side. Stein encouraged Bush to stand strong with Rove and soon this whole thing will blow over. Read More
