louismg I could also look at your comment as a good example of one that needs work. The phrase "where is our tax dollars..." has subject/verb disagreement. The "is" refers to a singular object, and "dollars" are plural. The appropriate question would have been "where are our tax dollars really going?"

He keeps an eye on the tabloids, he likes Brad Pitt movies, he loves his girlfriend and he really loves him some Chipotle Mexican food (carnitas burrito, por favor). In other ways, he's not like many 24-year-olds at all. He takes the time to watch sunsets, he makes quaint but succinct observations about the nature of baseball and he's confronting problems with his own mental health. Oh, and his girlfriend isn't the typical gal pal, either, being a beauty pageant queen and a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. ...

"Yeah, maybe he [Brad Lidge] is not having a stellar season but after what he did last year, the guy deserves a little bit of a break... He's not really any sort of appropriate object for scorn." -- Allen Krause Uh oh. Dear readers, there he goes again. Indeed, with the above statement, my always venomous and sometimes sneaky colleague across the aisle, Mr. Allen Krause, not only managed to embarrass himself with more tired slandering, but he also succeeded in alienating his entire base: people who love the game of baseball. Believe me, those people in Philadelphia ain't too happy ...

Red State Blue State —
When the Catholic church complained about teams playing/opening their
season on Good Friday, you guys were all over it - "reminding" us all
of the separation of Church and State. So, will we also get a public
reminder of that over the New York Congressman writing to Uncle Bud
complaining about ESPN's decision to move the Red Sox-Yankees game to
8pm on September 27th and the fact that it started after sundown on Yom
Kippur. MLB & ESPN caved and the game will be played at 1pm and
shown only on ESPN. Is one religious holiday more "holy" then another?
Where is the public outcry? Inquiring minds want to know your opinion. Julia Julia's ...

Leave Ellis Lankster alone
ProFootballTalk.com —
As most of you know, we've got a soft spot for NFL players with connections to West Virginia University. One guy to whom we've taken a shine this year is cornerback Ellis Lankster, an undersized seventh-round pick who made the team in Buffalo, thanks in part to a two-interception performance during a preseason game against the Bears. So we're reluctant to give Lankster a hard time for his post-game media comments from that game. But several of you have sent the video to us, and the e-mails will continue until we post something about it. Clearly, the kid was nervous. And we hope that he'll have plenty of opportunities to hone his press skills via a long and successful ...

Dear readers, there is no denying it. The 2009 Washington Nationals are a complete embodiment of the new, hip and devastatingly adroit four-letter word dominating the interwebs. And that word is FAIL. The Natinals' pitching is atrocious. Their defense is vomit inducing. Their front office is turbulent. And, worst of ...

Dear readers, there is no denying it. The 2009 Washington Nationals are a complete embodiment of the new, hip and devastatingly adroit four-letter word dominating the interwebs. And that word is FAIL. The Natinals' pitching is atrocious. Their defense is vomit inducing. Their front office is turbulent. And, worst of all, Teddy Roosevelt still can't win a race. But this is U.S. America, my friends. And in U.S. America, we U.S. Americans can do anything we put our minds to... well, anything except provide universal health care, halt military action in Iraq and establish ...

Women of the Opposition: South Carolina
Red Cup Rebellion —
The start of SEC play means this weekly "poke-fun-at-ugly-chicks" post becomes much harder to write. That is because we harp on the less desirable members of the lady population of our opposing fan bases and, in a conference known for it's belles, that becomes increasingly difficult and dishonest. Yes, even South Carolina has some serious talent even in comparison to Ole Miss.
We redshirt Miss Americas. Obviously, South Carolina doesn't let them see globes (ed: She went to App. State but whatever).

We Interrupt this Playoff... to Bring You Monday Night Football
Red State Blue State —
As human beings, it is really easy to get sidetracked. Like the other day when I got mixed up in a drinking contest with two Irishmen and a professional female bodybuilder from Greece when I should've been at home paying my bills. I paid for it. Literally and figuratively. Or like our president, who, under pressure, danced off to Europe championing an Olympic bid that was as busted as Octo Mom's fallopian tubes (fellow Chicagoans, we know we couldn't have pulled it off) while he should've been here dealing with the health care debate war. Chicago lost. And we US Americans ...
