"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?"

Update on Ohio University Shocker!

Nobody, but nobody at Ohio University had any idea there was so much legal trouble on their football and basketball teams until a nice reporter added up all the recent player and coach misbehavior and told them about it in a newspaper article.

It was quite a shocker! OU's athletic director is staggered by " the current situation in which we find ourselves today," as he reviews the seventeen recent arrests racked up by the lads and one of their leaders... a number which, if you want to be competitive about it, puts Duke's to shame.

New policies with real teeth in them are on the way, so you won't be seeing this sort of thing anymore.
