Yes, the league has tailored games to the benefit of those who throw the ball, what with the strictly enforced interference and illegal hands rules, rules against hitting “defenseless receivers,” and rules that protect the quarterback from being hit in all but a small area with all but a small area of the defenders body. And this would seem to work against a QB like Tim Tebow, who hasn’t yet

Is it really down to Newt or Mitt?
Stacy McCain takes another look at Rick Santorum, now that the Cain Train has been derailed (fittingly, by a damsel in distress tied to the tracks). Which is a good call for Stacy. And I’d certainly be happy with Santorum hitting his stride, given that I think he’s performed well in debates but has never been given much of a chance to make a splash. Still, in all honestly I’m
A tale of two reportings
On the Gingrich speech at RJC2012: Jen Rubin Tweets, “sitting next to @lynnsweet at #rjc2012. room is not exactly on fire for newt,” then follows-up later with “going to solve electability concern by challenging obama to lincoln-douglas debates…. Gingrich is always the smartest man in his own mind” and “gingrich is like a bad shakespeare production.. if he talks fast he hopes we think he’s very sophisticated” Compare with Ben

President Teddy Hussein Obama, "Progressive" Roughrider
Here’s the full text of Obama’s “Teddy Roosevelt speech,” in which our Historic President once again tries to reinvent himself as a past President, having already tried passing himself off as the reincarnated spirit of Abe Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, JFK, Harry Truman, and Ronald Reagan (while all the time resembling Jimmy Carter with a tan, a bad golf game, and an inability to dribble with his left). In the
Latest "White House Insider" piece is out
Is it me, or does the dude sound a bit Carville-esque, as presented. Anyway, for what it’s worth. A teaser: Barack Obama ain’t ever learned that lesson. He’s been told since day one – been told life owes him something. Been told he’s special. Been told America is all wrong, that it needs to be changed up. Not just improved – hell, I would be the first to say it
Decade anniversary archive pluck, 4: the "yes, I'm still sick in bed" edition
Managed to cook and eat soup and keep most of it in my body. So things might be looking up. Still, I’m mostly in bed. And other than that I’ve been watching a DVD of “The League.” At any rate, over the years here Billy Jack has played a significant role in the tenor of this site, so no archive dump would be complete without posting a few examples of
Newt talks tough on Second Amendment Rights
But not everyone believes him — and in fact, Gingrich has some troubling legislative maneuvering in his past. From the conservative Gun Owners of America: Prior to the “Republican Revolution” of 1994, Rep. Newt Gingrich of Georgia had earned an A rating with Gun Owners of America. But that all changed in 1995, after Republicans were swept to power and Gingrich became Speaker of the House. The Republicans gained the
