I had my first chance to watch the USA men's team play this morning, and I was more than impressed. Not by their athleticism...although that's impressive enough in itself.

But I was more impressed by their selfless style of play, their enthusiasm, their character, and their desire.

A combination of the right players...and the right coach to organize them. A thing of beauty, selflessness, and a group of people working together for a common cause.

More below the fold.

As someone who grew up in an exotic land, I can understand Cokie Roberts' aversion to Obama visiting his home town for a vacation. My coworkers always look askance at me when I speak of saving my vacation time to visit the exotic locale where I grew up, so I know the routine.

Interested in fun vacations? It's below the fold.

My friends, only a mavericky maverick can maverick this country out of its mavericking problems. We need a mavericky maverick to make sure that us maverick Americans can maverick the world.

I tell you, I am such a maverick that I disagree with our maverick president 5 percent of the time, and -- on many days -- I disagree with myself. That just goes to show what a mavericky maverick I am.

If you're maverick enough to read on, it would please me to no mavericky end.

Look what I found, a dead horse and a whip!

Those of you who don't care about sports don't get it, but don't be so quick to dismiss it. McCain's blatant attempt to pander to Steeler fan has repercussions not only in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but among sports fans everywhere. If there's one thing a true fan hates, it's a bandwagoner.

Please, step into our world...

Football is back, and I'm a big fantasy geek. So I thought I would combine my two favorite things...sports and politics...and rank the candidates for each position.

So if you're gearing up for a political draft, see below the fold. Who's your pick for each position? I'll rank the top five.

First up: Presidents.

President:

The president is the most important player in the game. He/She leads the team, calls the signals and handles the ball. Intelligence is a must at this position, or the team isn't going anywhere.
