"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Leave Brent Musberger Alone!

Katherine Webb: Not bad to look at, despite attending Auburn. If he needs a Chris Crocker, I’ll step up to defend the ESPN announcer who — while Alabama was dismantling Notre Dame in the BCS game — felt obliged to report the Neutral Objective Facts: “You see that lovely lady there, she does go to […]

Alabama Wins Second Consecutive BCS Title, Humiliates Notre Dame 42-14

Alabama Man Becomes Third Victim of ‘Justice for Trayvon’ Violence Trend UPDATE: Not a Hate Crime, Cops Say

From the very start, I warned against trying this case in the media. Demagoguery and political grandstanding have predictably inflamed emotions, so that innocent people who never set foot in Sanford, Florida, are made to pay a dreadful price: First in Baltimore, then in Chicago, and now in Mobile, Alabama: Police tell News 5 the […]
