I have a confession to make. I am that most miserable of creatures- I’m a Cubs fan. I also root for the Pirates. Both teams tease you along during the season, then let you down at the end. Today during the WBC, I figured the same thing would happen, after

Adios Mr Will………..
All this weekend, when I have not been forced to watch the repeats of Ichiro getting a hit in the WBC, as well as 12 different prognostication about Japan’s chances against Cuba; I’ve been watching the weekend news shows. Its been an interesting mix. Dick Cheney was on telling me

No post yesterday. Was busy nursing a hangover doing things around the house. Was out late Friday night celebrating St Patricks day and listening to my buddies try to convince me to join them on a trip down to the PI. I have no business going to the PI. There’s

The port deal is dead! Long live the port deal! Of course now the recriminations are starting. Cringing and fear of the backlash. Debating over who really stated the facts of the case. Weeping and wailing that America is a “xenophobic” and “fear mongering” country. And finally, who gets to
