At This Rate, Carmelo Anthony Will Be Traded in 2023
If you've ever played in a fantasy sports league of any stripe, you've doubtlessly run into an owner who was impossible to deal with when it came to making a trade. You know the type. They refuse to counter an offer with thoughts of their own or dismiss your request for information about what they're looking for in a deal.

Sheriff Joe to Sheriff Dope-neck: Shut Up or Resign
The two neighboring sheriffs in Arizona,  Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, and  Clarence Dupnik of Pima County, could hardly be more different.  Yesterday, UNCOVERAGE.net called for the dismissal/removal/Resignation of Clarence Dupnik due to his extremely political and baseless statements blaming the Tea Party, Sarah Palin and Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh for “vitriolic” political Rhetoric which Dupnik claims caused Jared Loughner to Murder six people in Tucson this week...

Jesse Jackson's Bizarre Rant: is Rev ok?

Sara Palin, Slap that Cunt Bitch
Yeah, that’s right. Sarah Palin is guilty of Hate Speech. She’s a moron. She’s ignorant. She’s got the blood of Arizona on her hands. Also she loves the rich and hates the poor. Don’t believe me? Just ask the Rosie’s-O’Donnell and Barr: What people like Palin need to learn is that we need to be civil in our political discourse. Did I mention Palin’s a moron? Too bad Palin and other Republicans are not as classy, smart and hip as the Democrat...

The Arizona Shootings and Personal Responsibility
There has, I’m sure, already been far, far more than enough coverage of and opining upon the high profile shootings in Arizona yesterday.

On that subject, Ed Morrissey has already done most of my work for me in terms of the media’s botched coverage of the monstrous proceedings. Bu...
