Offered for your approval. First, this: Asim Kamal’s gutsy knock of 91, after India’s mediumpace bowlers had accounted for the top order, helped Pakistan to 312 before they were knocked over by India. Lakshmipathy Balaji, returning to the Indian team after a gap of nearly a year, had plenty to smile about, and picked up his first Test five-for. Ummmkay.

Wake Forest today suspended star guard Chris Paul for one game for his low blow to NC State’s Julius Hodge in Sunday’s game. I have spent so much time in recent months being humiliated by the appalling lack of leadership and values at the University of Colorado, where I earned my doctorate. So it is with almost immeasurable pride that

Best I can tell, last night’s made-fer-TV movie, Their Eyes Were Watching God, had a total running time of about 26 minutes. With commercial breaks, it rounded off to about 4 1/2 hours….

tylerdfc is onto an important bit of idiocy – Bill Would Hold Game Makers Accountable For Players’ Actions: House Bill 2178 proposes to hold the makers and sellers of violent video games liable if someone under 17 years old commits a crime, due in any part, to playing the game. It’s not bad enough that you aren’t responsible for your

Clinton sleeps on floor so elder Bush can have bed Sunday, March 6, 2005 Posted: 6:28 PM EST (2328 GMT) NEW YORK (AP) — On their tour of tsunami damage in Southeast Asia, former President Bill Clinton once allowed his predecessor, former President George H.W. Bush, to sleep on the plane’s only bed while he stretched out on the floor.

The ACC’s braindead new primary/rotating partner two-step has been released, and the halfwits in charge have embraced the challenge of scheduling hoops in a football conference the way a Trekkie might embrace a supermodel. That is, with as much uncalled-for complexity and awkwardness as possible. In the process, they’re doing all they can to destroy five decades of tradition. Look,

Remarkable timing, this, given that drdenny and I were just discussing the question of what is a journalist anymore. A California judge has issued a tentative ruling that Apple Computer can force three blogging sites to divulge their sources, according to reports.In the preliminary ruling, issued Thursday, a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge said that the three blogging sites,

Baker, in

— Clear Channel suffers and rock radio is gasping its last and, more importantly, does anyone care? Thx to breezyg for passing on Mark Morford’s analysis of the passing of terrestrial radio. Morford is appropriately brutal: Corporate radio sucketh, whole and large and true. We know this. Everyone knows this. There is not a single person out there right now

Frank Rich’s take this morning on the appalling state of The News oughta be mandatory reading: What’s missing from News is the news. On ABC, Peter Jennings devotes two hours of prime time to playing peek-a-boo with U.F.O. fanatics, a whorish stunt crafted to deliver ratings, not information. On NBC, Brian Williams is busy as all get-out, as every promo

Just got the latest memo from Hoffman and her new towel-boy. Please note their references to “sweeping changes.” And, just for fun, see if you slog your way deep enough through the muck to uncover any actual substance here. Good luck. I’ve worked in corporate PR and am well able to distinguish between communication and a carefully crafted attempt not

[Credit: Thanks to Dee Forsythe of the Pit’s New England Sports Desk for this “wry take on the decision-making process here in Massachusetts.”] Funny stuff. Of course, we had a different problem when I was a kid. Our decisions were being made a half-hour away, down at the school board offices in Lexington. So what was going on up in

sirpaulsbuddy has a dead-on take this morning on the Wal*Martization of America. At what point does the reality begin to set in that maybe, just maybe, we’ve allowed power elites who don’t care about anything but their own wallets to imprison us with our own ideology and rhetoric? Seriously – how stupid are we as a country?
