A NEWSREADER BY ANY OTHER NAME, RIGHT?
The way the far right reacted to Dan Rather’s final broadcast last week reminded me of soldiers watching an enemy plane exploding in flames. I was waiting to hear: “We got one! We got one!”This is both sad and silly. It’s sad, because...
WITH A CHECK, KOBE WRITES HIS ENDING

CHANEY A TEACHER? REVOKE HIS TENURE
When Chris Webber was traded to Philadelphia last week, we heard a lot of what Chris had to say and a lot of what Allen Iverson had to say. We heard how Iverson had been insisting that Philly’s management get him some new talent or he’d leave. We heard how...
