Here’s another example of the “do we compete or not?” competition between the Star and the Daily Press: Altercation between coach and player under investigation. Our story will be in the Star on Tuesday.

  • And, oh yes, Gretchen kicked my butt up and down the street with her story. The worst part of it is she’s so damn nice when she does it!


  • Congratulations, Shylo and Brian!

    As we speak (OK, as I write), my friend Shylo is getting hitched in Chicago in what is probably the coolest wedding ever.

    Why is it the coolest wedding ever? Two words: Prom theme.

    I can’t be there, unfortunately, but I’m all over the shiny disco ball and the parish hall gymnasium in spirit.



    Judith Miller testifies, goes free

    After 85 days in jail, New York Times reporter Judith Miller is free. She testified in front of a grand jury after receiving permission from her source, possibly for the second time, to disclose her name.

    She had gotten the information about CIA agent Valerie Plame’s identity from Vice-President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby. Her refusal to tell a grand jury Libby’s identity had led to her jailing for contempt of court on July 6.

    Miller’s testimony has been described as one of the last objectives in the investigation of federal prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald. It is unknown whether Fitzgerald will end up charging anyone with a crime as a result of the investigation.

    Wizards of the Coast, the company that currently owns and publishes Dungeons & Dragons, has struck back at the Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games (MMORPGS), like EverQuest and World of Warcraft.

    To a large extent, MMORPGs seem to be both eating WotC’s lunch and pointing out a large market (in the millions) of untapped/potential D&D players.

    Behold the infamous “Basement Elf” ad.
