Where's your Diego Maradona now?

It is amazing that Argentina has such a wealth of talent. Its amazing that they even lost a game during the last world cup. It just goes on to show how defensive the game of football has become. We can thank the Italians and Germans and yeah the Brits too.

Heh, I like the commentary almost as much as the goal. "Yeah Selem, Yeah Selm, Yeah Selem.....". John Motson could learn something from this dude.

SCOTUS: still too white and masculine Ezra Klein is unhappy about the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Congress's ban on partial-birth abortion (or, if you prefer, "so-called partial birth abortion"): It is hard, in all of this, not to grow increasingly enraged at the makeup of the Court generally and the conservative bloc specifically. Kennedy could theorize all he wanted about female reactions to abortion: Within the group that voted to uphold the ban, there was not one woman. Five men made this decision for 150,000,000 women. Five men obviated the moral judgment of 150,000,000 women. I can't help but feel this is one of the feebler reasons for feeling "enraged". Judges make decisions every day about matters on which they have little, or often no experience whatsoever. I'm fine with the idea that the Supreme Court could "look like America" or whatever (though ideally I'd just like to have the best nine talents available, regardless of their views, sex or ethnicity), but the idea that this particular decision is made worse because the five judges concerned are male strikes me as, well, somewhat silly. Would one woman supporting the verdict been enough? Or would you need two? Three? Hell, I tend to disagree with the...

The Problem with St Barack Mike Crowley on the latest from the Obama campaign: A new flier from the Obama campaign bills itself as offering "Barack Obama in his own words." But the first thing you encounter when you unfold it is a quote from Robert Kennedy's son about the legacy of his father. Just in case the Obama-RFK parallel had escaped anyone thus far.... I wonder if Obama perhaps shouldn't play that card. There's something a little unseemly and certainly very immodest about it. Indeed, there may be a limit to the public's willingness to embrace a candidate who might, if you were to believe the hype, be on the point of beatification. Such piety can grate. Equally, Obama's effort to raise himself above the petty and grubby concerns of the political life risks - unless played carefully and sensitively - making him appear rather too loftily superior to the other candidates. Too much of that and he risks seeming a prig or a snob. I suspect Obama is aware of this, as this anecdote from a glitzy Hollywood fund-raiser may suggest: When Morgan Freeman comes over to greet Obama, the senator begins bowing down both hands in worship. "This guy was president before...
