Obama Missed His Chance
[Read the article: Who wants to be a Democrat?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Now he's looking like any other pol. He should have said......"There's still a lot of frustration and resentment in black America and rightfully so, and often the Pastors are a vehicle for the congregation to vicariously blow off some steam. It's not subversive or dangerous. Grow up White America. I'd hope you'd be big enough and secure enough to handle it."

[Read the article: House Democrats reject telecom amnesty, warrantless surveillance]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I know it might be an improper thing to say, but you can imagine what these guys look like by their names sometimes.

"When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign."
[Read the article: Who wants to be a Democrat?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And if Hillary uttered those words in the same situation you'd respond how?

[Read the article: Who wants to be a Democrat?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is where the hope and change routine gets you. American politics is a bloodsport. Ain't gonna change. Now he can't really get in there with his switchblade. Then he loses his stump speech and badge of honor.

If This Wright Stuff

The RPI
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And little Jeffie Sagarin and his computer are bogus. It's an attempt to come up with scientific formulas to draw meaningful conclusions with a bank of data that is way, way too small. There's not nearly enough games for any formula to be even remotely close to legitimate. You'd need at least 5 times the number of games. Probably 10. And the more games you played the more obvious it would become how slight the differences are.
There's not much difference at all between the major conferences from top to bottom. They all got players and they all have coaches schooling them on making every offensive and defensive possession count 2 or 3 hours a day in practice. In front of a home crowd any team can get lathered up and give anybody a game. Georgia was the SEC bum and they just beat 3 of the SEC NCAA tourney teams in 30 hours. Big Ten bum Illinois almost won their conference tourney. North Carolina damn near lost in their semis and finals.

Even With The Formula They Use
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And with too small a bank of data the RPI gives us the ACC, PAC-10, BIG-12, SEC, Big East, and BIG-10 rankings as .5733, .5673, .5663, .5634, .5620, and .5466 respectively.
I don't know how they came up with these numbers and don't care, but they lead to trash talk between conference fans or possible dance selection ramification debates like "Hey punks, we are .5673 and you are .5663"..or "Why doesn't .5733 get as many as .5634?"
This stuff is strictly for, well you know (clue, begins with n and rhymes with turds).

It's The Old Americano Diet Staple
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Everything must be ranked. Even if the rankings are obvious bullshit.

I Always Enjoy
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Bottom To Top Argument...........Like if the 10th place team of one conference played the 10th place team of another conference tonight, it's pretty sure thing one team will win, based on bottom to top, or RPI, or any other halfwit hocus poscus. The home team would probably be the Vegas favorite or damn near it. And even if the anticipated victor did win, they could play again in 3 days with the opposite result.

Kentucky Is In
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Because they went 12-4 in one of the 6 major conferences. A 12-4 conference record in one of the big 6, deserves a bid in all cases, except maybe not being under .500 overall.

[Read the article: Time magazine invents facts to claim that Americans support Bush's domestic spying abuses]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If 100 percent of Americans thought that 100 percent of mail and telephone communication inside the US should be monitored without warrants and published in public journals, what does that have to do with constitutionality?

Louisville
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Played at home against Cincy and lost about 75 days ago. One 40 minute game, complete with the strange factors that can occur in any one game. Foul trouble and officiating, injury, out of character red hot 3 point shooting, whether or not one team overall slept well the night before and the other didn't.....And that result is tagged to Louisville and Cincy and their other opponents until the end. Like that would be the result of any Louisville-Cincy game. It's preposterous.

Thank God
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton, sniper fire and Sinbad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary didn't have a Pastor running his mouth for 20 years, then when the videos came out she claimed she wasn't aware of it until the Presidential campaign......How would have the Obama folks have responded to that? Let's get out our crystal balls.

[Read the article: Hillary Clinton, sniper fire and Sinbad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't think that will make as effective an opponent campaign ad in the final few weeks in a general as the Pastor's God Damn America or the wife's It's The First Time I've been proud of America.

Pandyora
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Okay let's take the SEC and the PAC-10. How many head to head games have been played between the two? Out of the possible bank of home and road head to head possibilities. And one is ranked higher because why? I forgot.

Everything Is Much Closer
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Than everyone thinks. North Carolina. Monster. Overall one seed........18 of their 34 games had an average score of UNC 81 opponent 76, none of those by more than 12 points, icluding out of conference games against Nicholls St, North Carolina Asheville, BYU, SEC 11 seed Kentucky, and Big-10 non-dance Ohio State.

Average Margin Of 15 Is Cherry Picking
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They were just a possession here and a possession there, a basket going in or not going in, of 4 or 5 more losses.

It's The Same Everywhere
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Down in my neck of the woods, my fellow fans remember the 1980 Louisville team with Darrell Griffith as awesome and are what Louisville teams today are measured by. That team won their first two tourney games in overtime. Once again, one basket going in or not going in. It went their way, so they are awesome. If this Louisville team loses their first or second game in overtime, they are underachieving bums. As the 1980 team would have been, except the one shot went in.
