This is a great time of the year to give a brief summary of the Dodge County High School Squaws as the 2013- 2014 season draws to a conclusion. The current record is 18-2, 5 -1 in the region and a state ranking of seventh in AAA according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The Squaws have relied heavily on their full court pressure both man-to-man and switching to zone trapping defenses that keep the opposition guessing and off balance.

That’s easy to explain. People realize Ronnie was a great American and Bubba Bill is a predatory dirtbag who used his political power to have his way with women, sort of like the Kennedy brothers and Lyndon Johnson. [Full Story »] 

Perhaps the slogan of the Wendy Davis campaign should be that behind every successful woman is a good man.

The Texas gubernatorial candidate needs no introduction. Her filibuster of a bill to ban abortion in Texas after 20 weeks made her an instant star for progressives and much of the media -- because few things are as stirring as a principled stand in favor of near-infanticide.

Her personal Horatio Alger story also was catnip for the press, thrilled by the trajectory of the former teen mom who lived in a mobile home and eventually earned a law degree at Harvard.
