Only recently did I find a transcript from the November 2, 2009 program of Countdown with Keith Olbermann. In which, I was called out as the "best uninformed blogger." I had written an article that argued that the US Congress should revoke ESPN's license to broadcast.  In part because of ESPN's refusal to report charges of sexual assault by Ben Roethlisberger last summer, overplaying the stories about Pacman Jones, and the hit-pieces against Raiders coach Tom Cable. Turns out that ESPN has no license to broadcast because the FCC has no authority over ESPN. Touche. Nevertheless, I would say that while I may be uninformed about many of the basics ...

Some people will even use valuable time to dedicate blogs that attack my blogs, even on Facebook.  It's like mad blog disease.

Unbelievably, that is a real issue of Sports Illustrated that is to be released.  After Stephen Colbert launched a phony campaign for president in 2008 with the sole purpose of making Doritos’s irresistible, it has been hard to take anything seriously from Colbert, with one big exception being the delectable crunch of Doritos. Colbert thus overthrew the previous president of Doritos, Jay Leno, in a bloodless coup. I do not consider myself the persuadable type; I even tried to be hypnotized once, and it did not take.  I used to wonder how much easier life would be if I just allowed myself to ...
