Passing The Bracketology Test

When even bedazzlingly bad celebrity fashion is getting in on the March Madness action, it’s only natural that politics would too. Political junkies have been all atwitter of late analyzing each candidate’s picks for their NCAA Final Four brackets. Might the inclusion of a Pennsylvania team be a political ploy, we wonder? Are the would-be leaders of the free world savvy strategists? One columnist at college paper has gone so far as to assign each candidate a different basketball team alter ego....

Patrick No Fan Of Budweiser Duels Qualifying Format

That nervousness turned to desperation when she crashed late in the race and nearly failed to qualify for Sunday’s Daytona 500. As a result, Patrick is no fan of NASCAR’s unique qualifying system for making its biggest race. “This whole scenario is crazy that the series has put us in,” said Patrick, who rallied from her crash to finish 10th and start 20th in Sunday’s field. “It’s horrible that it’s left up to other people and what they can do to you to (determine) whether or not you get in the race or not....

Patriots Coach Bill Belichick Declines Presidential Medal Of Freedom From Trump

There was a report that stated the six-time Super Champion coach would receive the prestigious medal from Trump later this week. However, Belichick said recent events at the U.S. Capitol led him to change his mind. “Recently, I was offered the opportunity to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I was flattered by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients.

Patriots Rams Super Bowl Rematch Brings Tom Brady Bill Belichick Full Circle

OK, so the “where” is a little different. Super Bowl 53 will be played in Atlanta, not New Orleans, and these Rams are from Los Angeles, not St. Louis.

In the popular mind, cheap coverage means a company plan–hence the Clintons’ proposal that companies pick up most of the cost of the working uninsured. They’re using the employers as bagmen to collar the payments that people don’t want to make themselves. Most economists despise this approach....

Peace At Last. But At What Cost

Can NATO, under American command, make the peace stick? Ending a war between people who still hate each other means a lot of messy, thankless police work. American troops, trickling into their zone of northeastern Bosnia around the town of Tuzla, were ready to flex their superpower muscles. “We don’t expect trouble from the Serbs around Tuzla,” says a U.S. intelligence officer in Bosnia. “We could destroy every important asset they have in about 90 seconds–and they know it....
