It's hard out there for a Birther... Along with bouncing the lawsuit, U.S. District Court Judge David Carter eviscerated the controversial lawyer representing the "birthers" who sued Obama. In a 30-page order filed today, Carter stated that he was "deeply concerned" that attorney Orly Taitz "may have suborned perjury through witnesses she intended to bring before this court." Carter, who was appointed to the federal bench in 1998 by President Bill Clinton, noted that he had received "several sworn affidavits" showing that Taitz "asked potential witnesses" to lie under oath . The judge also contended that Taitz engaged in "improper and unethical" conduct by encouraging her supporters to phone and write him in an "attempt to influence this Court's decision."

What a Difference a New Coach Makes

Via Mike Prada of Bullets Forever : The one thing that struck me about Tuesday's performance was how much we actually resembled a professional team. I'm sure that's going to ruffle some feathers, particularly those who are fans of Eddie Jordan . I don't come here to suggest that Jordan is not a good coach. Far from it. But what always struck me about watching an Eddie Jordan-coached team was how the players would alternate between overly robotic and overly free-flowing play. Either they used none of their brains, which happened when they'd take quick contested jumpers and miss a defensive rotation, or they thought too much, mostly when they ran the same three-man weave into the same cut, with the same players settling for the same shots too often. I didn't see enough moments where they achieved that happy medium of playing instinctively while also playing smart. To be frank, they were too inconsistent. While some of that is our personnel, a lot of that

Pushing Buttons

Hmmm... WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – A former cashier for The Home Depot who has been wearing a " One nation under God" button on his work apron for more than a year has been fired, he says because of the religious reference. The company claims that expressing such personal beliefs is simply not allowed. "I've worn it for well over a year and I support my country and God," Trevor Keezor said Tuesday. "I was just doing what I think every American should do, just love my country." The American flag button Keezer wore in the Florida store since March 2008 says "One nation under God, indivisible." Earlier this month, he began bringing a Bible to read during his lunch break at the store in the rural town of Okeechobee , about 140 miles north of Miami . That's when he says The Home Depot management told him he would have to remove the button. Keezer refused, and he was fired on O

Speaking Of Children In Trouble...

... there's stories like this : CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The parents of a Virginia Tech student who disappeared outside a Metallica concert said Tuesday they fear she is the victim of foul play. Morgan Dana Harrington's parents said on NBC's "Today" show they are devoting all of their energy to finding their daughter, who was last seen Oct. 17 outside a University of Virginia arena. "This is probably a parent's worst nightmare," Dan Harrington said. "Clearly no one ever expects to be in this situation and we have to hold out hope that we're going to see our daughter again." Harrington, 20, of Roanoke, was attending the concert 10 days ago when she left the arena and was not permitted to return. Her purse and cell phone were found. There was no sign of any type of struggle in the area, state police investigators have said. Fortunately, everyone from the local police to Metallica is doing what they can to help.

Recession = More Runaways

One may ask: "What was going on with the families that compelled these kids to leave , and why couldn't seek help elsewhere? Well, one response the article gives is: “Several times a month we’re seeing kids being left by parents who say they can’t afford them anymore,” said Mary Ferrell, director of the Maslow Project, a resource center for homeless children and families in Medford. With fewer jobs available, teenagers are less able to help their families financially. Relatives and family friends are less likely to take them in. Then there's the standard fair: abusive parents, drug/alcohol-addicted parents, and simply extremely rebellious teens. Regardless of the causes, it's awfully sad to see that it's 2009 and we not only still have a homeless population, but a young homeless population. UPDATE : The second part of this storyline isn't any sunnier .

The Times, They Are A'Changin'

Congressional GOP leaders were afraid of creating alternative health care legislation because they thought they'd be seen as "Democrat-lite." Whoa; back in the day (like since 1988) it was the Democrats who were being Republican-lite in order to gets bills passed and keep their seats (more often than not, that tactic failed because voters realized that they'd rather have a real Republican then a Democrat pretending to be one).

My Player-By-Player Wizards Predictions

I love the guys over at BF, and I think their predictions are reasoned, sound and logical. In other words, they're not predictions as much as "well thought-out, educated estimates." Predictions need to be a tad more grand and bold in scope, so I'm going to flip it and put out some predictions for each player currently on the roster : Gilbert Arenas : Will be fifth place in votes as NBA MVP. Andray Blatche : Will have an awesome December, but will not see much time afterwords. Caron Butler : Will make a bigger name for himself in the All-Star game. Javaris Crittenton : Will think out loud (read: complain to media) about playing time a bit, but have at least six spectacular outings. Paul Davis : Will not be heard of much when Jamison comes back to form. Randy Foye : Will be playing alongside Arenas more than originally planned. Brendan Haywood : Will become the 3rd best center in the Eastern Conference. Mike James : Will not be a Wizard when this season ends. Antawn

Did I mention that these employees were working in New Mexico? This "policy change" went over about as well as can be expected: His rules and his firing of several Hispanic employees angered his employees and many in this liberal enclave of 5,000 residents at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains , where the most alternative of lifestyles can find a home and where Spanish language, culture and traditions have a long and revered history. In his defense, some employees were less-than-professional with him Some employees were fired, Whitten says, because they were hostile and insubordinate. He says they called him "a white (N-word)." But this story highlights how trying to impose your culture on another group can backfire,

News Vs. Spin

News : The Federal Communication Commission's five commissioners all agreed they favor an "open" Internet in supporting a net neutrality rule-making process Thursday, but hints emerged immediately that they will soon be agreeing to disagree on how and to what degree the Internet should be free and open or regulated. While the five commissioners all voted in favor of the rule-making process with the three Democrats led by Chairman Julius Genachowski taking a more open approach to the Internet, the two Republican commissioners also supported the rule process, but questioned some "facts". The rule-making process opens up a vehicle for comments on net neutrality that will close on January 14. Reply comments will be accepted until March 14.

News We Didn't Need

Oy . This global recession will turn into a "full-blown depression," Nicu Harajchi, CEO of N1 Asset Management, said Friday, adding that global stimulus hasn't come down to Main Street. Wall Street is making money, while consumers aren't, Harajchi told CNBC. "We have seen the G20 coming out with cross border capital injections of $5 trillion this year… But a lot of this money hasn't really come down to Main Street," he said. "When it comes down to corporate America, corporate Europe or even in Asia, in Japan, we are not seeing Main Street making any money," he said. "Consumers are losing their jobs. They are struggling with their mortgages, with their credit. And we are just seeing this continuing." The $5 trillion injection is "monetary expansion," according to Harajchi. "At some point, which we believe to be 2010/11, some of the central banks are going to recall some of that money and that will turn from monetary expa

By attacking FoxNews (saying it wasn't a real news organization ) the White House may have made a very potent power move. No, not in "distracting from issue X," as some have said. But sending FoxNews into a frenzy by making them try to legitimize themselves . The past few days have basically been a "Why is Obama picking on us?" whine-o-rama. Instead of taking the high road and ignoring those comments, they've embraced them . Now one would think if they were a true independent-minded news organization and not the media component to the GOP machine, they would be able to take this in stride, but they can't . They've made themselves the news story , and that's not good. And just like the liar who gets called out in public for lying, Fox is now trying to play the " I'm rubber and you're glue " game.

Don't Believe the Anti-Hype

This WashPost article claims in the headline that "Most Americans still divided on overall packages," which would imply a 50/50 or near 50/50 split on the various ideas put out since mid-summer. Yet when looking at the poll questions , we find that: 57% of Americans want the government to create a health care plan that competes with private health insurance plans; 45% of Americans support the changes Congress and President Obama are proposing; 56% of Americans support a law requiring Americans to have health insurance; When asked if the "plan" involves too much government involvement, the response was 42% yes, 34% just enough and 21% not enough. Also, 43% polled think reform would hurt Medicare (wonder where they got that idea?) and 68% think that reform would increase the deficit. Regardless where you stand on the issue, these numbers hardly imply a divided nation on health reform. They think it's necessary and like the ideas (so far) but are worried about it&

Because I Need Something Sports-Related To Make Me Smile

From a very credible news source : PORTLAND, OR—Speaking with members of the Portland media Tuesday, veteran forward Juwan Howard announced between spoonfuls of complimentary tomato soup that he was excited to be a part of the Trail Blazers' organization, and was "proud and grateful" to wear the team's free uniform. "It's exciting to be a part of this team, but the fact that [team owner] Paul [Allen] promised me free rye bread here today was really the determining factor," said the 6-foot-9 power forward, who arrived to the press conference shirtless. "I look forward to contributing in any way I can. Hey, I'll be getting an away jersey, too, right? Gets so cold at night." Howard was the fifth player selected in the 1994 draft, and ever since has been wearing the Washington Bullets hat the team gave him that night.

Obviously , the people at NASA do not watch sci-fi horror or sci-fi thrillers . WASHINGTON — NASA will throw a one-two punch at the big old moon Friday and the whole world will have ringside seats for the lunar dust-up. NASA will send a used-up spacecraft slamming into the moon's south pole to kick up a massive plume of lunar dirt and then scour it to see if there's any water or ice spraying up. The idea is to confirm the theory that water — a key resource if people are going to go back to the moon — is hidden below the barren moonscape. The crashing spaceship was launched in June along with an orbiter that's now mapping the lunar surface. LCROSS — short for Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite and pronounced L-Cross — is on a collision course with the moon, attached to an empty 2.2-ton rocket that helped get the probe off the ground.

Quote of the Day

The Princeton Offense is a distant cousin of the Triangle Offense in that it's a read, rather than an execution, scheme. Instead of following prescribed routes, the players react to where the ball is and what the defense is doing. One difference between these two plans of attack is the former features more back cuts and back screens, and the big man is often used as a ball reverser from the top of the key. It's highly doubtful either Samuel Dalembert or Elton Brand will be asked to carry the ball across the time line. But who knows for sure? The major problem I have with the Princeton Offense is it's difficult to take advantage of specific mismatches and also to get the ball to certain guys in their favorite spaces. There's simply too much continuity to adjust the vital importance of matchup situations to the limitations of the shot clock. Of course, Jordan's game plan calls for specialty plays, but, by and large, these represent departures from the norm. Also, when
