Kobe's team was in on it
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]King,
To say that the Lakers weren't in on Kobe's accomplishment overlooks what actually happened at the end of the game. Granted, I didn't see the game, but a check of the play-by-play shows that, throughout the 4th quarter, there were exactly 3 field goal attempts by Lakers not named Kobe Bryant (plus, nobody else even got fouled, so there were only three shots even attempted by non-Kobe Lakers), and one of those was a three-point shot in the waning seconds. In the final 6:31, Kobe took every shot for the Lakers (excluding the last-second heave), which by my count was 13 shots (field goal attempts plus times fouled when shooting). In this final 6:31, Kobe scored 23 points. It seems to me, then, that the Lakers knew what was going on, and did all they could to give Kobe the ball so he could shoot and score.
Not to say this still isn't impressive, but it seems unfair to discount Wilt's performance because of his teammates' complicity, but overlook that Kobe's teammates were apparently doing the same thing.

Obama is right
[Read the article: Profiles in Democratic cowardice]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I completely agree with cbaker96. Yesterday morning, when I heard the Senate was going to vote to condemn the MoveOn ad, I thought how great it would be if senators simply didn't vote on such a meaningless issue. And I was pleasantly surprised to later learn that Obama didn't vote for that very reason. It is time to treat these meaningless votes as meaningless votes instead of getting sucked into a peripheral debate.

another vote for scrapping "continued"
[Read the article: The new format]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hate having to click continued to finish reading an entry. I agree with the other folks who have suggested publishing entries in their entirety on the day they are published. Granted, perhaps we are supposed to click continue so there's another page view, but for those of us who subscribe without advertisements, I'm not sure it does any good for us to keep on clicking.

Should we be told who Mr. Frost is supporting?
[Read the article: Obama is wrong about the gas tax]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]According to the HuffPost's FundRace, a George Frost who is an attorney in Berkeley, California, has donated $400 to the campaign of Hillary Clinton and nothing to anybody else. Obviously, can't be 100% certain this is the same guy as our trusted author, but I'll take my chances on it. Not sure what the ethics book says, but the fact that Mr. Frost is a supporter of Sen. Clinton might be worth mentioning in his biography, especially in an article critical of Sen. Obama.
