    wombat, please don’t take this the wrong way, as I TRULY appreciate your news roundups.

    BUT-

    The gentleman who has played power forward for the San Antonio Spurs for the last 17 years, and been a five-time NBA champion, two-time NBA MVP, three-time NBA Finals MVP, NBA Rookie of the Year and 14-time NBA All-Star is Timothy Theodore “Tim” Duncan. Not Kevin.

    Fellow Spurs fan? 🙂

    Tim and Dave Robinson are the two guys I point to as true role models among athletes. Just upstanding men who happen to have played a game with a bouncing orange ball. Also guys who do not really seek out the spotlight.

    Liberals reverse course: after 50 years they declare Zap Comix to be racist, reactionary and right-wing. Nixon declared to be a “hippie freak.” Bush still Hitler. “Muslims are the new black baseball leagues” said an anonymous feminist from her padded cell. “Jackie Robinson is their prophet.” Adobe Photoshop unveils Amanda Marcotte “eyes-closer-together” tool.
