As he was heading off the air, I'm pretty sure I heard Dave Feldman at Fox-5 report last night that the Wizards are going to work out Stephon Marbury today.
Did anybody tell Abe Pollin?

Lebron's come and gone. But we only have to wait a week for the next celeb sports doc extravaganza: Luis Tiant will [...]
I have been trying to figure out Michael Steele for the last week or so. Every since he won the RNC's top job that has meant more TV chat show appearances where he talks up tax cuts and talks down Obama. He just doesn't sound that smart. Yesterday, Steele told a Politico reporter that Obama's [...]
Call it 2 Turkeys 1 Former Veep Nominee. No this is not a secret PETA video. This is the latest installment of Sarah Palin: The Swan Song.
Maybe this is the end of the media blitz. Maybe we will never see this clown again. Maybe we will never get to hear her whine about waving-the-white-flag-of-surrender, hear [...]
In a thoroughly predictable turn of events, Hillary Clinton and Ron Paul were the write-in champions of 2008 (by all accounts a banner year for write-ins). That makes plenty of sense, given that both Clinton and Paul boasted die-hard adherents with a bit of a disenfranchisement complex.
To paraphrase President-elect Obama: "When people get [...]
In which we speak with ANC 1C-03 Commissioner Bryan Weaver about Michael Brown's basketball skills, David Schwartzman's uncanny resemblance to Walt Whitman, and the Sarah Palin Disney Movie.

A MUST-WATCH in which Erik lampoons the Informer and the Express for their mind-numbing election stories and shows off his command of la langue française while questioning the "global view" of Regina Belle.
Hope y'all brought mittens.

At all. From a radio interview this morning:
"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to [...]
Marbury has been one of my great pleasures this electoral season. Written by Ian Leslie, the blog aims to explain United States politics to Leslie's fellow Britons. That so few U.K. commentators do so successfully is one of the perversities of the Special Relationship.
Take, for example, this piece in the Guardian, conservatively titled "How [...]
A funny-'cause-it's-true riff from the Lakeview Terrace star about how Barack Obama needs to keep his cool no matter how apoplectic John McCain acts.
Funny, that is, until the very end, when Jackson straight-talks about "the elephant in the room."
"That's what we fear most as black people who want him to...be elected: Win, and somebody's [...]
Ben Westhoff, a New York freelance writer and occasional contributor to City Paper's arts pages, recently signed on with the Examiner's new blogger-generated-content model, where writers proclaim themselves experts in some discipline and get paid based on pageviews. It didn't work out so well for Westhoff, who had a brief stint as a "music examiner," [...]
Valleywag points to a Time magazine widget listing the results of a poll asking folks who will win tonight's watch-it-through-your-fingers-like-it's-The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Vice Presidential debate. The rest of the world gives it to Joe Biden, 83 percent to Sarah Palin's 17 percent. Even Alaska is on the same train as everybody else (78 to [...]
Yet another story detailing Bill Clinton's preference for talking up John McCain over campaigning for Barack Obama:
Former President Bill Clinton was hesitant to characterize Barack Obama as a "great man" Sunday, a phrase he had no qualms using last week to describe Obama's rival John McCain.
Clinton told NBC's Tom Brokaw that it was only earlier [...]
Via TPM, it's Palin doing a pretty good impression of Bush. Slate offers some tips for Palin so she can ace her next interview (whenever that might be). In the meantime:
As anybody with eyes and ears knows by now, Sarah Palin isn't so great at articulating what it means to be Russia's neighbor. But if having an veep candidate who knows Russia-Alaska relations is important—and after all, "as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where—where [...]
* In case you missed her: Washington Post's Howard Kurtz on Palin's Katie Couric interview. "Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, in her third interview since joining the Republican presidential ticket, licked her finger and stuck it in the air, saying that Sen. Barack Obama might wait and "see what way the political wind's blowing" on the [...]
