"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Marquette on Top
Of its Game

From an editorial in Marquette University’s newspaper:

Head Coach Tom Crean's salary …topped $1.6 million last year, according to a recent article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Considering that his base salary in 2002 was a little over $560,000, his current salary represents an exceptional rate of increase. Taking into account the lack of NCAA tournament victories — zero after the team's 2003 Final Four trip — it is even more astounding.
