Will Mitt release copies of his tax returns beyond the two most recent? David Cay Johnston thinks he should. Otherwise, Johnston argues, he’s going to continue to be pestered until he does. Unless he releases the tax returns from his Bain Capital years he will surely be pressed about how much, if any, of his …
Ouch. The Giants’ winning score in their game against the Niners was set up by a punt return fumble in overtime. Just as in the earlier game there was a clear goat (the Ravens placekicker in that one), there was in this game as well. It was a second-year player returning punts for the first …
They won, but it wasn’t pretty. It took a missed field goal by a guy who, the announcers said, had been 16 for 16 in the 4th quarter all year. Poor Mr. Cundiff, and shades of Scott Norwood. Cundiff hooked his attempt wide left; back in 1991 Norwood pushed one wide right at the end …
NYT article headline: Gingrich Wins South Carolina Primary, Upending G.O.P. Race Yes indeed. This is a spanner in the works and a slowdown in the coronation of Mitt Romney. It just goes to show that bashing the mainstream media and using slightly-coded racial language gets you lots of votes in the South. I know that …
I realize that the Republican citizens of South Carolina have only four choices today, so results have to be counted as “of these four, which do you like?” rather than “who’s your ideal Presidential candidate?” If I were one of them I’d abstain. None of the guys running seems to have the best interests of …

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced that most employers will be required to cover contraception in their health plans, along with other preventive services, with no cost-sharing such as co-pays or deductibles. This means that after years of trying to get birth control covered to the same extent …
Back here I bemoaned the demise of yet another coffee maker. I said then “New one purchased in July 2006. I replaced it in January 2008. It’s now July 2009.” Here it is January 2012 and the coffee pot I bought in ’09 gave up the ghost this morning. I guess I should be pleased …
Tomorrow this site will redirect to this page as a protest against the SOPA and PIP bills now being pushed through Congress. What are those, you ask? I can’t explain nearly as well as Patrick Nielsen Hayden does here. If after reading that you’d like to know whether your Congressperson and/or Senator supports or opposes …
Maybe I ought to create a category or tag with that title. Anyway, earlier today Mitt Romney said “And then I get speaker’s fees from time to time, but not very much.” Well now. His financial disclosure forms show he was paid $360,000 in speaking fees from various companies, most finance-related. Ladies and gents, I …
