Legendary hothead Bobby Knight is actually mellowing into an enjoyable old man. How else do you explain this?
Speaking of Knight, I love listening to him talk basketball on ESPN. I learn something from him every time.
Hat tip to Tom Rock for the find.
Thank God the special congressional election to fill Kirsten Gillibrand’s seat is tomorrow here in New York. I can’t take this anymore!
Yes, I have a preference who wins the race between Democrat Scott Murphy and Republican Jim Tedisco. No, I’m not going to tell you who it is. You don’t care about my political views.

I don’t get the appeal of ‘Facebook.’ Or ‘Twitter.’ Or even what is by Inter-Google standards the old standby, ‘MySpace.’

It has become an obsession. Hours spent each day scouring for items about the New York Yankees or New York Giants, about whom I do most of [...]
My wife came home from her job the other day and agitatedly told me the story of how many of her co-workers had been complaining at a meeting that day.
She works in a school system and, due to budget cuts here in New York state, some shuffling is being done. Early retirements are being offered [...]
