Because the media just loves a bleeder, this year’s sports coverage, when not obsessing over T.O., has focused on steroids in baseball. Congress, taking quite seriously its mantle of the world’s most deliberative body, decided that their time would be best spent investigating these media rumors. Nevermind that whole illegal war thing. Rafael Palmeiro, the [...]
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a non-profit, progressive legal watchdog group dedicated to holding public officials accountable for their actions. CREW drafted the complaint against Tom DeLay, filed by former Congressman Chris Bell, for which DeLay was admonished last year. Today, RAW STORY ran an article in which CREW’s spokeswoman Naomi [...]
The Philadelphia Daily News did an interesting story on Rick Santorum’s (R-PA) campaign for re-election. Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia professor and expert on presidential politics makes the argument that Santorum may be trying to lose the campaign in order to cement his standing with the national conservative movement. We are still more than [...]
It’s almost patently irresponsible of me that I have not yet written about Latoyia Figueroa, the 25-year-old pregnant mother who has been missing from the Philadelphia area since July 18. Unfortunately she’s not white, blond, or about to get married, so until Richard Cranium of All Spin Zone picked up the drum beat, the mainstream [...]
I’ve yet to say anything on President Bush’s new nominee to the Supreme Court, John G. Roberts Jr., and for the most part I am reserving my judgement until I know more. So far I’m not as discouraged as I expected to be, thanks mostly to an NPR interview I caught with Georgetown University Law [...]

No comment is really necessary for this story: BOSTON (Reuters) – U.S. workers say they squander over two hours a day at the workplace, with surfing the Web, socializing with co-workers and simply “spacing out” among the top time-wasting activities, according to a survey released on Monday. Most U.S. companies assume about an hour of [...]
Horrible day in London today. It appears that there were at least 7 distinct attacks including the tube and one double decker bus. NYT is reporting over 1000 wounded and at least 33 dead so far at 12:28 pm EST. I’m reading that cell phone networks are understandably overburdened in the city right now but [...]
If you haven’t been following the Valerie Plame case, Robert “Douchebag of Freedom” Novak revealed the name of Plame, at the time an undercover CIA agent, in his July 14, 2003 column. Most think that this unveiling was payback from the White House for Plame’s husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, publically criticizing the Bush Administration [...]
To follow-up on my previous posting re: the suppression of American’s civil liberties… Obviously Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and their staff’s were too busy today to read SkaroffBlog. If they would have read this thought-provoking blogspot–they would know that making sure the radical Republican agenda is not rammed through Congress while most Democrats nap in [...]
