On a Lighter Note…
Some recently discovered documents indicate that the Chicago Black Sox of 1919 may have been “inspired” by the Chicago Cubs of 1918. You know, the team that lost to the Boston Red Sox… [I]n the gambling scandal that never was, the ’18 Cubs just might have laid down for that year’s A.L. champ, the Red…
It’s too bad today’s Dilbert cartoon wasn’t published in closer proximity to the percentage of a percentage debate here on Anchor Rising. Although, the stink eye is much less effective in the comment sections than in a boardroom.
OK, so a Sox-loving NYer buries a Big Papi shirt in the new Yankee Stadium concrete and fess’s up. The NY Post’s description of what happened is priceless, especially how new Yanks Boss Hank Steinbrenner “doesn’t care”….. But it was the betrayal of his borough that elicited Bronx cheers from many Yankee fans – including…
OK, technically they’ve already played two games that count, going 1-1, over in Japan. But the sorta surreal beginning to the season is over and the usual ebb and flow can now begin tonight in Oakland around 10 PM. Ian has more and the ProJo staff makes their picks. Me? They win the division, but…
New York Newsday columnist Ellis Henican has this to say about the budding movement (who knew?) to make Long Island into its own state…We have deeply embedded corruption, ancient ethnic rivalries, even an NHL team – what else does a self-respecting state need these days?… And what about the name?

Solve simple point-and-click puzzles in a well set world in order to spur the characters to quiz you on various topics so that you may rise to the next level. Adults should find the questions pretty easy, but be aware that the makers are European,…
If you needed any further evidence that National Review Online’s Jonah Goldberg is a left-wing double agent tasked with distracting and immobilizing thirty-something conservatives, look no farther than this post, into which he slyly slips a link to 100 classic Nintendo games playable online. Well, I suppose it has been awhile since I won CastleVania.
.. it must be the glass that I’m chewing. It certainly couldn’t have anything to do with a song about dancing with one’s daughter before “the clock strikes midnight.” I pass this along because I’m not sure how many New Englanders allow their radio dials to pause on 91.1FM. It’s an “inspirational” station. [Whisper] That…
This is possibly an insignificant incident but too fun to pass up. “Do you know who I am?” One of my favorite expressions, often used by an elected official or semi-famous person in a jam or trying to get his or her way. Generally delivered in an imperious rather than a tactful tone, it is…
