Let the Eagles Soar IV
February 2nd, 2005

Overheard this morning on ESPN radio: Jon Runyan, the Eagles standout tackle, was asked what the weirdest part of media day was. His answer (this is not an exact quote): Having to explain the game of football to National Public Radio.

How could you root against them?

Jaxadelphia
February 1st, 2005

I’m jealous of Galley Reader Buder, who’s making the trek to Florida to watch the Eagles shock the world. He writes:

Yo,I’m heading down to Jaxadelphia Friday afternoon. Any Galley Slave-ites heading down there shoot me an email as me and the boys explore the finer sides of Jax’s evening entertainment.

buder@knology.net

Update: Egads! Buder now tells me:

Thanks for the post. Just to clarify however, (and this could be good or bad) I am travelling down to Jaxadelphia with 9 Patriots fans lmao. I have no worries that the Green Wave will be fully represented.

Join him at you’re own risk; he and his crew may be unhappy after the game.

Jersey City
February 1st, 2005

Power Line refers us to this Jihad Watch post with details of the gruesome murder in Jersey City. The blog claims it has inside information from a friend of the family about the way in which the Copt family was murdered.

Also, Jihad Watch has some interesting speculation about why the autopsy report from this high-profile murder isn’t going to be realeased until March 14.

Galley Friend Makes Good
February 1st, 2005

My favorite Bushie, the estimable Ed Walsh, has gotten his

first quote in the media in his new position as a DoE spokesman:

It’s not like you’re asking someone to pee in a cup.

Is Ed awesome, or what?

In the midst of PC police, low-budget holiday movies, and mandatory in-law time, the only Christmas spirit on most people's minds these days is the kind that comes in a flask.

From the all-star cast who brought you The Seven Deadly Virtues comes a book with a look at the good life… or the crazy-stressful-overwhelmed life… of a father. As anyone who has spent time with a child knows, fatherhood is a mixed bag of fun, fury, and failure. So much is lost—no more catnaps during football commercials, no more exotic vacations or impromptu day trips. And yet, as authors like P. J.…

"The best argument for chastity since Bea Arthur." — Andrew Ferguson

An all-star team of eighteen conservative writers offers a hilarious, insightful, sanctimony-free remix of William Bennett’s The Book of Virtues—without parental controls. The Seven Deadly Virtues sits down next to readers at the bar, buys them a drink, and an hour or three later, ushers them into the revival tent without them even realizing it. The book’s contributors include Sonny Bunch, Christopher Buckley, David “Iowahawk” Burge, Christopher Caldwell, Andrew Ferguson, Jonah Goldberg, Michael…

""A powerful argument that the only thing worse than having children is not having them."" — P. J. O'Rourke

For years, we have been warned about the looming danger of overpopulation: people jostling for space on a planet that’s busting at the seams and running out of oil and food and land and everything else. It’s all bunk. The “population bomb” never exploded. Instead, statistics from around the world make clear that since the 1970s, we’ve been facing exactly the opposite problem: people are having too few babies. Population…
