An incredible act of sportsmanship

PORTLAND, Ore. - With two runners on base and a strike against her, Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University uncorked her best swing and did something she had never done, in high school or college. Her first home run cleared the center-field fence.
But it appeared to be the shortest of dreams come true when she missed first base, started back to tag it and collapsed with a knee injury.
She crawled back to first but could do no more. The first-base coach said she would be called out if her teammates tried to help her. Or, the umpire said, a pinch runner could be called in, and the homer would count as a single.
Then, members of the Central Washington University softball team stunned spectators by carrying Tucholsky around the bases Saturday so the three-run homer would count — an act that contributed to their own elimination from the playoffs.

Organized Boycott For 9/11 Propoganda. Boycott Managers Needed
Sun Sep 10, 2006 at 04:55:41 PM PDT
We really need to massively organize this boycott. I have been so impressed with the work of many kossacks, who have found contact information for the various companies who are part of the "Path to 9/11" propaganda film.
ABC, Disney, Scholastic, etc. should be made to pay for this garbage. Although it might NOT make them stop this time, the goal now is awareness. Make the companies aware that we plan to hold them accountable.

LAMONT WINS..............Now WHAT??? (Edited) w/ Poll
Tue Aug 08, 2006 at 08:28:57 PM PDT
Lieberman conceded..Now what?
The FIRST thing that struck me was Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson standing behind Lamont.
Personally, nothing against Sharpton and Jackson and I am sure they worked hard for Lamont but NOW Lamont needs to appeal to the Moderates in Conneticut, to beat Lieberman AGAIN in November.

Dem Turnout UP? / Rep Turnout Down?
Tue Jun 06, 2006 at 09:27:34 PM PDT
I know it is still very early, and many results will come in over night. I was looking at some early returns in NJ, MS, AL, CA. I have also seen several posts about "low" turnout among voters in the primaries.
MSM is sure to latch onto the "low" turnout and that is likely to be the spin for the results, no matter what they might be, but I was wondering if the turnout was only low among REP, but was up from prior years for DEMs.

I was MIKE in Florida, on O'Reilly .I will be on Keith Olbermann tonight.
Thu Mar 09, 2006 at 03:43:09 PM PDT
I was the caller, "Mike in Florida", that Bill "O'Leily" had on his show last Thursday. "O'Liely" dumped my call, and made it seem as if I had said something "Untoward" or obscene. "O'Liely" threatened to have Fox Security and the local authorities pay me a visit.
I blogged about this already and more information can be found at this link:

I was MIKE in Florida: The head of FOX Security called me ALSO about calling O'Lielly
Fri Mar 03, 2006 at 10:07:42 PM PDT
I am in really big trouble. I called Bill O'Lielly the other day and made him mad. I might have even hurt his feelings. Tonight (Friday) I returned home, and had a message from Fox Security asking me to call them.
Yeah, I was "Mike, in Orlando,Florida" on the O'Lielly show the other day. What "pithy" comment did I make that has BOR so mad he has "Faux Security" calling me?
I called Bill O'Lielly, and was able to get on his show. He was able to censor out most of what I said, because he apparently has a delay of a few seconds, but what he heard clearly upset him.
More below the fold, and a link to the call.
