Judge John G. Roberts seems like a solid selection. Presumably Joy would take this place on the Appeals Court. We’ll see in 18 minutes or so. Apparently Bush has figured out that whoever he nominates, the peaceniks will filibuster and demonize, so he may as well go hard to the right.
With Rasheed, McDyess, and Billups in foul trouble – and Billups unable to beat the tenacious defense of Parker and Bowen – the Pistons didn’t have enough bench to beat the Spurs, so the Good Guys won another. We’re going to see this matchup many more times in years to come. I wonder how well … Continue reading “And the winner is … San Antonio”
When Rasheed plays well, the Pistons play well: With the Pistons clinging to an 89-86 lead with just under two minutes to play, Ben Wallace elevated high to block Manu Ginobili’s driving layup attempt at the rim. Detroit then ran a pick-and-roll at the other end, with Rasheed Wallace (right) setting a bone-crunching pick on … Continue reading “Game 6”

Game Four was another blowout, this one by 31 pts. The Spurs are in big trouble even though the series is now best of three and they have home court advantage: Once again, it was a double-digit victory — the series’ fourth in as many games. The difference this time was the degree of dominance … Continue reading “Another blowout”
OK, the Pistons had a good game for a change: The defending champions summoned the spirit and spunk that had been missing in the first two games of the NBA Finals, changing the complexion of the series in a way many thought impossible. Spunk not withstanding, Ben Wallace played way over his head last night, … Continue reading “Game Three”
I’m surprised Dean Esmay isn’t all over this story about the phantom AIDS superbug.
Thank god this remark was made by one of the Bad People, because it makes my head hurt: In response to the public disgrace and ruin of New York Times editor Howell Raines, CBS anchor Dan Rather and CNN news director Eason Jordan, liberals are directing their fury at the blogs. Once derided as people … Continue reading “Terribly confusing”
Creationists who believe the earth and everything in it was created by the Christian god some 6,000 years ago are called “young earth” creationists. One of them is also a young blogosphere believer: And the political bloggers have been there for four years. We were the first ones to get there.
