Somebody linked a really fine Bob Dylan train song below and it made me think of my favorite Dylan song of the moment, which I hear on The Big Lebowski. It’s called the Man in Me and it’s probably got more treacle-ish lyrics in it than anything Dylan ever wrote (though he is a…

Yesterday in his nationally syndicated column, the Washington Post’s George Will joined the chorus of “true” conservatives to accuse Charlie Crist of being — gasp! — a moderate.

An afternoon full of rain made a sloppy field, but the University of Georgia Bulldogs had faith that their young kicker, Blair Walsh, a sophomore from Boca Raton, could knock the ball through the uprights from 37 yards away. He did so with no time left on the clock. Arizona…
Since he left the NBA in 2005, we can’t give Kenny Anderson the award for the league’s Most Improved Player. But if there were an off-the-court award for players who suddenly developed their character after a sordid past, it would go to the former Georgia Tech star who now lives…

But all this doesn’t mean we can’t still learn something from the show. (It does appear on the Learning Channel.) Let’s take crack, for example. Sure, they bust other users and sellers on the show, but you can’t watch for more than eight minutes without someone whipping out a crack…
That’s Rod Beck. “Shooter,” as he was known by fans and teammates. Looks like a guy rousted from a truck stop, doesn’t he? Note the Fu Manchu, the double chin, the mullet. Below that, a massive beer gut. This is a guy who during a stint in the minors with…

That’s the photo that instantly became the metaphor for the Broward County corruption scandal. The Gallagher family on their way from the courthouse, clasping one another, a cameraman in their midst.
