In April, we reported that the Columbus Catfish had applied to move to Bowling Green, KY following this season. Earlier this month, the owner of the Catfish reported the same thing.
Everybody knew it was going to happen, and an official involved with the South Atlantic League confirmed to us in April that the application had [...]

Sen. Barack H. Obama (D-IL) has said he’d meet with Iran’s president without preconditions, if he’s elected President of the United States.
The naive Senator was called on his position by an experienced Senator, John S. McCain, III (R-AZ)…

Nice to hear a grown-up explaining things to the kids.
If only the kids would listen. But they won’t. [...]

I saw the quote on Drudge:
OBAMA: ‘We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times… and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK’…

Seems that Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has spurned Senator Clinton’s (D-IL,AR,DC,NY) suggestion that he take the Vice Presidential slot on the Democratic ticket.

This seems to make sense, on the face of it. His rejection, that is.

The New York Times … among other news outlets … is reporting that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has been caught in a prostitution ring.
Spitzer is a Democrat, which really doesn’t mean anything, since sexual misconduct isn’t the domain of one party or another. Prostitution has been around a lot longer than Democrats and Republicans.

Fox News reports that the Obama camp is upset by comments made by Representative Steve King (R, IA-5).
King told the Spencer (Iowa) Daily Reporter:
“I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than [...]
