UnoMania
Rumsfeld is thrilled about Uno’s
victory. This though, is the story of a soldier who lost his
life in Iraq and his two dogs. (warning, tear

This is the time of
year when my family tends to get a little sad. Every year at this time

the grandparents' in Palm Beach. My grandfather was born on
February 15, 1897. He and my grandmother were married on
February 14, 1924 in Miami. My grandfather died in
1993. ... more »

WHO'S ON FIRST?
Baseball is a funny thing. A good baseball fan can simply throw out a group of stats and prove a point. According to Allen Barra, an expert in baseball and the life of Wyatt Earp (and a friend of mine) Bob Costas has done some numbers crunching. If Costas is correct about this numbers Roger Clemens did not use steroids. I have a source in the "know" who thinks Clemens may have taken a little something, but not much, but that McNamee is doing some serious lying. This person also wants to know why Waxman is even ... more »
