They’re here and they’re queer. But don’t assume they’re all jumping on the gay marriage bandwagon, Katie Couric. The Against Equality collective — a group of gay activists who oppose gay marriage — has been “quietly assembling a digital archive to document the critical resistance to the politics of inclusion.” The result? A compelling pocketbook, Against Equality: Queer Critiques of Gay Marriage. (more)
In the latest episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin pokes fun at First Lady Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign. (more)
As we remember the recent anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, an attack as vivid to a previous generation of Americans as the attacks of 9/11 have been to our own, I thought it important to recall a story of American heroism and sacrifice: The Legend of Colin Kelly. (more)
SAN FRANCISCO — A top runner who hits the wall. A coach with a cruel illness. A state championship at stake. (more)
As one might imagine, it easy for a conservative living in the San Francisco Bay Area to find events from which to draw inspiration for discussion. On Wednesday, soon-to-be former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi provided yet another such incident, as she echoed President Obama’s post-election lament. Unmoved by the obvious sentiment conveyed by the American people to an out-of-touch Washington, Pelosi chooses to continue pursuing the politics of delusion. (more)
It was a deliriously fun combination of Mardi Gras, New Year’s Eve and world championship – with the crowd of the century on hand to celebrate. (more)
ARLINGTON, Texas – When Brian Wilson struck out Nelson Cruz to end the 2010 World Series, 142 players instantly became free agents. Under new rules negotiated in the collective bargaining agreement this season, players no longer needed to file for free agency. (more)
It’s a warm, clear evening at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington as the Texas Rangers try to use home-field advantage to rebound from an 2-0 deficit tonight in World Series Game 3. (more)
SAN FRANCISCO — The beautiful thing about Matt Cain is there’s nothing vague about him, nothing obscure, nothing theoretical. Ask him a question, he gives you an answer. Approach him with something offbeat, and he has nothing to say. “Haven’t thought about it.” Give him a baseball, he pitches it directly — fastball, curveball, slider, change-up — until the manager takes the baseball away from him. (more)
SAN FRANCISCO – Ron Washington is almost home. Rather, he’s across San Francisco Bay from the last stop of his prior life. (more)
SAN FRANCISCO – The Rangers’ World Series rotation is taking shape. (more)
Juan Uribe had a running joke with a couple of reporters toward the end of the regular season. The Giants were in Chicago, where Uribe helped the White Sox win the 2005 World Series, and he said, “This is my town.” (more)
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cody Ross joked it was easy for San Francisco Giants fans to chant “Cody! Cody!” during his stellar postseason because his name was only two syllables. (more)
SAN FRANCISCO — Online advertising offers marketers the chance to aim ads at very specific groups of people — say, golf players in Illinois who make more than $150,000 a year and vacation in Hawaii. (more)
SAN FRANCISCO – The 2010 Phillies are the team that drove expectations more than any team in franchise history. It is a big statement, but true. They are the team that managed to convince the two most hard-to-convince cities, Philadelphia and Las Vegas, that they were going to win the World Series. A week ago, the world was sure that a championship was nigh. As the great man sings: High hopes, indeed. (more)
The man with the werewolf beard was howling, but not at the full moon. Brian Wilson just pitched a scoreless ninth in a tie game, ran into the dugout and screamed, “We’re going to win this thing right here.” (more)
SAN FRANCISCO – The hard decision really wasn’t that hard for Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. Despite days of public coyness, he appears to have made it a while ago and correctly has not wavered. Starting Joe Blanton in Game 4 of this teetering National League Championship Series makes sense. Throwing your entire starting staff out of whack in order to get Roy Halladay on the field tonight on 3 days’ rest does not make sense. (more)
IF YOU combined the Eagles’ quarterbacks into “Michael Kolb,” as Andy Reid jokingly did after Sunday’s game, you’d get a 64.7 percent completion rate, 1,603 passing yards through six games, 11 touchdowns, two interceptions and a 103.3 passer rating – which would rank this mythical QB second in the NFL, behind only Peyton Manning. (more)
Former Republican presidential contender John McCain reunited with his onetime advisor Carly Fiorina on the campaign trail Saturday in San Diego, offering a blistering indictment of Barbara Boxer’s record on military issues and calling her the “most bitterly partisan, most anti-defense senator in the United States Senate today” — an assessment he said he’d made while having “the unpleasant experience” of serving with her.
