I had the pleasure of meeting him at a WEA convention one year, and he is every bit the tall British gentleman. Very talented too; I’ve heard [...]

Football In The Regions: London

Watching him a couple of years ago on “Sunday Supplement”, it was difficult to think of Jimmy Hill as a revolutionary. Yet there, before our very eyes, was the man that kick-started the television revolution in British football.

Con-con voting in black wards

Even tho the Con-Con was defeated on Election Day, Ramsin Canon over at Mechanics has some analysis nestled in his latest post asking if Chicago is ready for reform. This analysis is according to the racial make-up of particular wards: First, there is the Constitutional Convention vote from this past election. The Con Con was a good government issue in its most distilled form; a vote for the Con Con was a vote against the status quo. Given that there was little effective organized support for a

Review:Poliquin Biosig Seminar & Other Fun

I recently attended the Charles Poliquin biosignature seminar (with Scotty Hagnas of CrossFit Portland) in Scottsdale, AZ. With the recent developments of Charles’ thoughts on CrossFit this has left me in an interesting position given my place in CrossFit. This review is my best effort at an objective assessment not only of Charles’ technology, but also my experience implementing it in a thriving CrossFit practice. I have sought guidance and fact checking from Scotty, James Fitzgerald (OPT) and

Goose's idea for a series of posts about MTV videos from the 80s tickled my fancy while it reclined lazily in the wheelhouse at the end of my alley. I grew up with MTV and loved it like I eventually would love masturbation. Which is, to say, quite a bit. You can check out Goose's list here. I'll forever have fond memories of AL TV (event television), Remote Control (I'll go to my grave convinced that Ober was somehow banging the delectable Kari Wuhrer), and the Friday Night Video Fight

Introduction: As time ushers political victories from the realm of current events to the realm of history, the answer to one question seems always to change, simplifying itself with the passage of years, decades, and centuries. Why did this candidate win, and why did his opponent lose? The answer is never so simple as people make it out to be; Kerry didn’t just lose because of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Gore didn’t lose just because of the Supreme Court, George H. W. Bush didn’t lose
