The Phil Gramm Debating Society
Phil Gramm says we are a nation of whiners. God. He ALWAYS says that. But maybe he's right. Whine away, pro or con.

Omri Casspi, Hamed Haddadi Pose For Photo
The NBA posted a photograph of Sacramento Kings forward Omri Casspi and Memphis Grizzlies center Hamed Haddadi. Casspi is the first Israeli player to play in NBA history and Haddadi is the first Iranian. Just last week Haddadi was involved in a controversy when two Clippers announcers were suspended for comments about the Memphis center that some found offensive. Casspi finished tonight's game with 15 points and three rebounds, while Haddadi did not play in the Grizzlies' 116-105 win over the Kings.

HOUSTON — Rob Bironas kicked a 53-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining and the Tennessee Titans beat the Houston Texans 20-17 for their fourth straight victory after an 0-6 start.
The Texans (5-5) had a chance to tie it, but Kris Brown's 49-yard attempt with 1 second remaining was wide left. It was his second miss of the game and the second straight game he's missed a chance to send the Texans to overtime.
The Titans (4-6) haven't lost since Vince Young took over at quarterback. He is 2-0 as a starter in his hometown of Houston after running for the winning touchdown in overtime in his last start as a rookie in 2006.
State Dinners And Their Odd Social Pairings (PHOTOS)
Text and photos from LIFE.com, where you can check out more odd social pairings at state dinners.
The state dinner dates back to 1874, when Ulysses Grant invited King David Kalakaua of the Kingdom of Hawaii to break bread with him. President Obama's first state dinner will be held for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and has been the subject of much speculation -- Washington is abuzz with details of who will be invited. In an effort to convince the Obamas to diversify their guest list, here's a handful of encounters that may never have occurred without a state dinner.

Dear Redacted
(Wednesday, July 25, 2007)
We are home in Arizona as of 1 am July 24. EXACTLY one year after we arrived..to the day...from our terrible war adventure.
It was a long hard trip (redacted). Good and bad...mostly closure of some things. Letting go of the ideal of "expatriatism" for now. It has been my central motivation and I realize now that I must move forward and I must move in this direction and at this pace.
What to do. The Middle East is a downright catastrophe and as… Continue

Up on the mantle is Maya Angelou she's talking to Big Bird yet her friend Dr. Seuss thinks deterrence an itsy bit absurd. Here is a train stub from… Continue

Why Me?

No more problems says the package
the cure came in, no more
warning labels and the price tag
no longer legible. It began

after the move out,
wondered what would happen
to the crystal ball and Japanese flag.
Where to put Mars now?
Whose house next?
Yesterday it was exactly two years ago that I began my exile in my own hometown. The irony of that nearly drove me ma… Continue
