Sarah Palin: The Celebrity?
According to this AP article, it seems Governor Palin is getting some high profile interview requests: ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Oprah wants her, and so do Letterman and Leno. Fresh from her political defeat, Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate that would be astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor. The failed Republican vice presidential candidate crunched state budget numbers this week in h

LEEDing the way…to a Green Collar job (w/poll)
A guest post from a fellow Energize America board member, DooLittle SoThere, who actually manages to do much, actually. Welcome to my journey. I am pursuing LEED PA certified to increase my sustainability knowledge base, to help guide my restoration of an historic opera house, and to improve my chances of landing a green collar job after 20 years in high tech – despite an economy on life support and a sea of job seekers. Anyone interested in cleantech, efficiency, sustainability or the en
Mount Crushmore Poll @ RMN
Mount Crushmore by Drew Litton (RMN) I know, I know. This seems like an off-season subject, but it’s not always a bad idea to look back at your historic franchise players prior to playing your most dreaded rival. Here is the idea… IF Colorado built a memorial like Mount Rushmore for the Broncos (naming it Mount Crushmore obviously), what four player faces would be featured? Now, before you go off half-cocked to fill the comments about how silly this is, let me explain MY perspective on n
Durbin and Blagojevich: A He Said, He Said
A small back and forth today between Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and Governor Rod Blagojevich is a good window into the governor’s decision about who to appoint to the senate. Senator Durbin said Blagojevich still isn’t returning his calls to talk about possible replacements for President elect Barack Obama’s senate seat. According to the state’s senior senator, he placed a call to Blagojevich’s office last week and still hasn’t heard back. To be fair, the governor’s office disputes that versi

2008-2009 Big East Men's Basketball Preview: UConn Still On Top
It's that time once again, college hoops are back! The preseason rankings are out, and the Big East reigns supreme. North Carolina is #1 in every poll, but the Big East has a mind-blowing 7 teams ranked in the top 25, with 2 more teams receiving some votes, but just out of the top 25. There are 3 teams ranked in the top 5 in the AP poll, and the top 6 in the USA Today/Coaches poll. The Big East has become the butt of almost every joke when it comes to football, but when basketball season ro
Poll: Who Is Nicest, Naughtiest of ‘08?
Who’s been naughty and who’s been nice in 2008? We scanned over the most popular stories of the year thus far, looking for news makers that have either: A) Made Us Smile, like Christina Applegate and her triumph over cancer, Brangelina’s impactful charity work or Robert Downey Jr.’s string of film excellence. B) Made Us Wince, like Miley and her private photo shoots, the trainwreck that is Amy Winehouse, or Dr. Phil for that visit with Britney. C) Made Us Want to Be Pals, like the hilarious
New BCS Deal Stifles College Football Playoff Hopes; BCS Can Still Be Improved
Consider this a follow-up to yesterday's blueprint for change. Stipulating to the realities that the BCS system is in place for at least another half-decade, here are a few positive changes we can make to the current system. Despite Barack Obama throwing his weight around, don't expect a college football playoff before the end of the BCS contract in 2013, if then. (Yes, really: If then. Make no assumptions.) There is, however, the opportunity to remedy two significant issues with the BCS syste
After 2008 Election, Some States Want to Make Voting Easier; Others Determined to Make it Harder
Cross-posted at Project Vote's blog, Voting Matters Weekly Voting Rights News Update By Erin Ferns Following an historic turnout in the 2008 election comes a flurry of election reform agendas from both sides of the battle over voting rights. Since November 4, some state lawmakers have seized on the success of early voting and Election Day Registration (EDR) as models for facilitating voter registration, while others appear to have been threatened by the heightened turnout and inspired to int
DISAPPOINTMENT HAS A FLAVOR: THREE
Disappointment has five flavors in 2008. Numbers five and four are available for your inevitable disappointment, too. Three: Auburn/Your New Diet. French ladies don’t get fat. Nor do they fire Tony Franklin. Both are mysteries involving long walks, various forms of starvation, and cultural differences it would take years of dodgy research to fully flesh out. In fact, we suggest you contact the Ford Foundation and other luxurious research institutions fond of giving out fat grant money to le
NCAA Division I-A / Football Bowl Subdivision, the Big 12: Team Profiles and Attendance Map (2007 figures).

‘Maybe I should have toned it down’, says Peter Roebuck
Everyone seems to have an opinion on Peter Roebuck. Via his columns in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, he has become the highest profile cricket writer in the Antipodes. He was recently elevated into the next stratosphere, though, after the Test match in Sydney, becoming a bona fide identity in his own right. Now, regardless of whether or not they agree with him, people including the players want to read what he has to say. As a columnist, it doesn’t get better than that. “I don’t enj

The Nuclear Mess - Where Does it Leave Syria?
Washington Note: Bizarre Media Cycles for Bashar [Landis analysis] The UN nuclear investigation could be the new Hariri investigation for the “isolate-Syria” crowd. For several years the UN investigation into the Hariri murder gave neo-cons hope that they would be able to carry out regime-change in Syria on the cheap, by tripping up Syria’s leadership in a web of international sanctions, UN strictures, and legal snares. The Hariri investigation seems to have petered out and no longer inspires

O, Come Let Us Adore Him
Oh, boy - this is quite some article by Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post (H/T to athy at No Quarter for this article). He really tells it like it is. I wonder if he still has a job there? Just the title alone gives it away: A Giddy Sense of Boosterism. Holy Toledo - is he allowed to SAY something like that?!?! I hope he has someone watching his back. At all times. Oh, but you're not gonna believe some of the things our "media" have cooked up. Check this out: Perhaps it was the announc
