I keep getting asked about whether guard-forward Guy Landry of Stoneridge Prep will attend USC in the fall. As of right now, he has not been offered a scholarship and there are also some academic issues he needs to sort out, which is not unusual if he is going to Stoneridge Prep. A decision will probably be made later in ...

The Dodgers slugger met with the media today in San Diego, and while he said he was sorry to teammates and fans he refused to talk about steroids.

We political junkies all expected that a prominent Republican governor with presidential ambitions might resign over the long weekend. We are very smart and semi-prescient. We just expected that the governor would be love-besotted Mark Sanford. Sarah Palin, though as controversial as ever, looked secure in her job and in the hearts of conservatives.
