Angry White Men

One of the best op-eds of the year so far [http://www.aspentimes.com/article/2008198091324]: > He's a man's man, the kind of guy who likes to play poker, watch football, hunt white-tailed deer, call turkeys, play golf, spend a few bucks at a strip

Youth Coaching and Other

Well, I saw the worst display of sportsmanship ever at a youth event last night . . . and it was in my fifth grader's Christian basketball league. Every denomination has its challenging people, but last night's black eye goes to the Lutheran Wisconsin Synod for its coach who
