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.
If two terms had to be chosen that describes the Squaws this season they would be “defense” and “balance” according to coach Paula Selph. 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. This type of defense has led to numerous scoring opportunities off forced turnovers.

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.
