After all, The Fall has been a going affair for front man Mark E. Smith for five decades now, with Ersatz G.B. being the latest in a long line of releases. So to make the comparison, the latest, 2012 incarnation of The Fall documented on Ersatz G.B. reminds me most of the relatively accessible mid-1980s version, especially the lineup that recorded the classic album The Wonderful and Frightening World…

Sparkplug Russ Smith fouled out, after making a key second half bucket, a left handed one at that. (More about that 5th foul later.) Starting to reach his potential, Chane Behanan (18/7) fouled out.

Loved this story from C. Ray Hall on the superfans who spend their winters in Louisville solely so they can attend Cardinal basketball games. "Most of my girlfriends think that I'm crazier than him because I come and do this with him," Bobbie Hilleary said. "But you know what? I like it just as much as he does." Woman of my dreams.

They're going to have their largest crowd of the season and it's going to be a very difficult environment to come out of with a win. --Seton Hall switches from man to zone a lot.

    Today, President Barack Obama kicks off the third day since his State of the Union address in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There, he’s focusing on keeping college affordable and within reach of all Americans. His key issue of the effort? Reforming student aid to promote affordability and value: To keep tuition from spiraling too high and drive greater value, the President will propose reforms to federal campus-based aid programs to shift aid away from colleges that fail to keep net tuition down, and toward those colleges and universities that do their fair share to keep tuition affordable,…

    In case you’ve been sleeping under a Mayan temple, I should remind you that it’s now officially 2012 and R.E.M. is no longer around to belt out the theme song. There’s no turning back the clock to the good old days of Harold Camping’s Bible thumping about the rapture – or any other doomsday scenario that keeps cropping up only to pass with little or no fanfare. The belief that 2012 is the year of the apocalypse comes from an interpretation of the Mesoamerican Mayan calendar made by Mayan scholar Michael Coe. In 1966, Coe felt that a particular…

I remain a center leaning community and political advocate (now entering my 37th year). I am still a member of the writer’s union, though we get little to no recognition from the "big dogs" in the Labor movement.

I wouldn't let any of them take my trash to the street, and yet these individuals are supposed to be the ones to save us from Obama's "Hope and Change". Seriously, are these really the best the Republican Party has to offer? For that matter, are they the best the Conservative Movement can muster?

New Haven (Connecticut) Mayor John DeStafano said recently that he wants illegal immigrants to be able to vote in local elections. Mayor DeStafano, a Democrat, claims that illegals pay taxes, albeit indirectly, through rent and send their children to public schools, so, therefore, they should be entitled to vote. He also claims that this would lead to a more "engaged community". His spokesperson, Elizabeth Blanton, claims that her boss's proposal is "nothing new". She claimed there were several…

Under the league’s rules, first team to score wins, without the other squad having an an opportunity to tie it up. Denver got the ball. First play, Tebow throws an 80 yard TD pass to beat Pittsburgh. The OT went just seconds, long enough for the snap, the Tebow dropback, a look downfield, the toss and Demaryius Thomas’ scamper to the endzone. Boom. Game over.

    England’s Henry VIII had a thing for marriages. Actually he had a thing for marriages to women named Anne, truth be told. On January 25, 1533, he entered into a hallowed state of matrimony with Anne Boleyn. (Years later, in 1540 to be exact, he would tie the knot with Anne of Cleaves.) For those keeping score at home, Ms. Boleyn was HVIII’s second wife. Catherine of Aragon was his first. Boleyn provided the King with an heir to the throne, who became rather famous herself, Elizabeth I. But, as you must surmise by now, Henry VIII soon tired of Anne Boleyn, accusing her of philandering and…

    Mitt spent far more than any other candidate to come out only 8 votes ahead in Iowa, with fewer votes and a smaller share than in '08. If that's winning, then losing sounds OK. GOP voters dislike Romney so much that they voted for a guy who'd languished in last & who they chose because they already knew and discarded everyone else. If that's a compliment, Rick, keep smiling…for now. Perry's out, then back in; Bachmann's in, then backed out & Newt announced he'll break his 11th Commandment -- "don't speak ill of fellow Republicans" -- which is fine, since he broke the 7th a few times…
