You know, I realize that nearly the entire Editorial Board is so completely infatuated with President Barack Obama, they don't even think of "change" as a monetary value, but let's really examine this.
Darwin would be proud of the House Sparrow.
When celebrities face plights similar to those of everyday folk, the media falls guilty of spending far too much time and resources tracking the latest developments.

The banners were strange. They were painted black with a diamond-shaped logo that doesn't belong in the O'Connell Center. They read "National Invitation Tournament" and spoke of postseason dreams, but not the postseason dreams with shining moments and the usual Madness.
