It’s Halftime in Mexico, Canada and Italy

By mw | Related entries in Cars, Media, Partisan Nonsense, Politics, Sports

If there is a political message to found here, it has nothing to do with the advertisement itself. The ad is doing exactly what any good ad should do. In fact, it does more – Memeorandum is tracking reactions, people are writing columns about it, it is being posted on blogs and social networks. Chrysler is getting more than their money’s worth from this spot.

The political problem is with the underlying company. The problem is with the moral hazard unleashed when they were bailed out with taxpayer money. The problem is with the subsequent heavy handed politically motivated machinations orchestrated by the Obama administration in the bankruptcy proceedings. I would not want to buy a car from that company.

Sparky Anderson

By donar | Related entries in Cartoons, Political Graffiti, Sports

I know this may not be the most direct political cartoon, but definitely news worthy especially after all this exhausting election year. What made Sparky so remarkable aside from just managing a boy’s game, was he demonstrated exceptional leadership skills in managing difficult players or prima donnas during his tenure. He led the Big Red [...]

Normally sports fall under another category but this time I thought it was interesting how social media is changing the ways we see these figures in the media.  The question I posed will it change their behaviors? News Link…

Topps 3D Baseball Cards

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Economy, Sports, Video

I’m sure there are some baseball fans who visit this site, and if you collected baseball cards like I did…you’ll find this amazing and eventually “on-topic” for a politics site… But there is an economic angle to this… Topps needs to augment reality because baseball cards are struggling in the Internet age. Today’s collectors, most [...]

Time for BCS Playoff

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in Sports

Barack Obama is doing a fine job preparing for his presidency, but one move stands above the rest in terms of its clarity and commonsense appeal. Obama is right to support a BCS playoff for college football. Now, you might think I support Obama on this matter merely because I’m a Texan and Texas is [...]

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Bad Decisions, Economy, Good Decisions, Money, New York, Sports

The ailing Citigroup is being fairly targeted for their spendthrift ways. From NY Times: In 2006, Citigroup signed a 20-year, $400 million contract to name the Mets’ new stadium in Queens Citi Field. As recently as last week, the troubled financial-services conglomerate said it had no intention of backing out of the deal for the [...]

Nike’s Incredibly Stupid “Kobe Bryant Jumps Car” Commercial

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Bad Decisions, Media, Sports, Video

I really don’t know what to say to this. It’s wrong for so many reasons, not the least of which is the suggestion that shoes can help you jump a car (WTF?). Yes, Kobe says “do not try this at home,” but come on people…what does Nike take us for? Behind every piece of advertising [...]

German Chancellor Merkel Skipping Olympics

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in China, Germany, Olympics, Sports, The World

Germany itself isn’t going to boycott the entire thing, but she won’t be showing up. And she’s not the only one… The disclosure that Germany is to stay away from the games’ opening ceremonies in August could encourage President Nicolas Sarkozy of France to join in a gesture of defiance and complicate Gordon Brown’s determination [...]
