There are three events that consistently mark the middle of July on my calendar - the release of the annual update to EA Sports' NCAA Football game (which my colleague Adam Berry so generously opined on in Tuesday's paper), my birthday (today, time to do it big) and the always-interesting ESPY Awards.
Tuesday's editorial regarding Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was filled with much of the same "empathy" we expect Sotomayor to rule with, but little fact.
I don't envy David Letterman. Putting together a top 10 list can be fairly difficult.
Soon-to-be-former Gov. Sarah Palin has been kicked around mercilessly by those who oppose her political views. Everything from her family to her wardrobe has been endlessly criticized.
