Borders has decided not to carry the April-May issue of Free Inquiry because it will contain Muhammad cartoons that sparked violent outrage among some Muslims:
“For us, the safety and security of our customers and employees is a top priority, and we believe that carrying this issue could challenge that priority,” Borders Group Inc. spokeswoman Beth […]
Red Hickey, football coach and inventor of the shotgun offense, die at 89. Football fans may think the shotgun got its name from the center “shooting” the ball to the quarterback. Not so. According to the AP it was “so named by Hickey because it sprayed receivers around the field.”
Add that to your knowledge bank […]
New White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten wants Treasury Secretary John Snow replaced. Snow has been pretty much invisible while serving (like his predecessor Paul O’Neill so it’s not like anyone would really notice. Part of it is the times we live in. We’re at war so the foreign policy departments, State and Defense, […]
A news outfit called Compass Direct, a “US-based Christian news source” reports two more Afghan Christians have been arrested. I’ve never heard of Compass Direct, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is legit. It’s something to keep an eye on.

Green Bay Packers fans hope and pray Brett Favre decides to return for another season. Signs are pointing to a decision this weekend. The Packers have pushed back Favre’s $3 million roster bonus twice with another deadline coming Saturday. If Favre wants to call it quits the team needs time to get back-up QB Aaron […]
An author of the FISA Act told a Senate panel President Bush has the authority to order the controversial NSA wiretapping. Judge Allan Kornblum said,

The New Orleans school district is selling one of their Katrina-damaged buses on eBay. Mayor Ray Nagan must be cringing. On the auction page is the infamous photo of a lot full of flooded buses; buses that could have been used to help evacuate the city.
Then we have Alvarez & Marsal, “the management firm hired […]
Abdul Rahman was granted asylum in Italy and arrived there. Many Afghan Muslim are miffed he was allowed to leave the country instead of converting back to Islam or be killed for apostasy. Clerics called it a “betrayal to Islam” and the Afghan parliment wanted the Karzai government to stop Rahman from leaving.
With this courageous […]
I think Glenn Reynolds isn’t much of the religious type, but I don’t think he’ll mind your prayers for him and his family for their loss. Glenn has done so much for webloggers and weblogging. It’s the least we can do.
I too know what it’s like to recently lose a grandparent. We just have to […]
You’ll notice to the left J.B. Van Hollen is advertising on TAM. That’s no endorsement. I’m neutral. J.B.’s campaign put up the dough just like any advertiser can. I haven’t followed the attorney general race closely, but I’ve heard good things from both Van Hollen and Paul Bucher. With the end of the GOP governor’s […]
With Scott Walker out of the governor’s race there’s been some Mark Green bashing on local weblogs. Charlie Sykes doesn’t offer any links (tsk, tsk; the most important thing about the web; being on vacation is no excuse) so I’m going to assume most of the criticism has been in the comments. After Walker dropped […]
This is a brief follow-up to a post a few days ago on Barbara Bush’s conditional donation of software to some Houston schools. It’s garnered plenty of comments.
