Great ballplayers aspire to excel in five categories: hit for average, hit with power, run, catch, and throw. Some of baseball’s biggest names failed at one or more of these baseball basics. Ted Williams’ uneasy relationship with all things defensive is legendary. Rod Carew flirted with .400 more than once, but his power numbers [...]

We are beginning to understand why Hillary Clinton “suspended” but did not close her campaign. Barack Obama’s lack of core values is already leading him into a series of embarrassing flip-flops, infuriating his base and encouraging John McCain supporters.

In a loathsome repeat of the Supreme Court’s twisted logic of a few weeks ago granting constitutional rights to terrorists, the same Gang of Five has declared capital punishment for child rapists transgresses “the constitutional commitment to decency and restraint.” Now, monsters contemplating the sexual destruction of girls of any age need not fear the ultimate sanction.

Americans have a “sense of helplessness,” are “a battered public,” and ”live in a world gone haywire,” according to the Associated Press. In what must be the planet’s most negative article, AP writers Alan Fram and Eileen Putnam would have us believe the sky is falling as never before. The first paragraph sets the tone for pessimism [...]

The Boston Celtics won their 17th World Championship last night, crushing the Lakers in the process. The final score was 131 to 92, but the game wasn’t that close. During the series’ first 5 games Boston figured out how to stop Kobe Bryant and exploit the porous Lakers defense, resulting in last night’s blowout.

There is nothing quite as sweet as catching a blowhard like Al Gore in the act of…how shall we describe it?…extreme hypocrisy. Therefore, we are deeply indebted to The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a “nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization committed to achieving a freer, more prosperous Tennessee through the ideas of liberty,” as its website [...]
