Stop Complaining: Here's a Boatload of Good Reasons to Love the New Facebook
Because it has 750 million users worldwide, any time Facebook makes a change, you can be sure that some small and annoyingly loud band of yahoos will complain about that change as if it’s the end of the world. (Am I allowed to call them yahoos if they use Facebook?)

Foreclosure “Victims”: You Got What You Deserved
I have had it.
If I see one more weepy story on TV or on the web about the poor “victims” who have been forced to move out of their homes due to foreclosure, it will be one more too many.
Much has been made about the large swath of Americans who have been forced to vacate their homes because they can’t keep up their payments. Oh boo hoo hoo! The poor folks who had to explain to their kids that they would be ripped from their friends and their Range Rovers and their backyard pools!

EastSPN's Tim Kurkjian believes that Don Mattingly is ready for his close-up as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Why I Would Happily Buy Shares in a Publicly-Owned Los Angeles Dodgers
Los Angeles Daily News sports columnist Tom Hoffarth wrote an intriguing piece suggesting that the Los Angeles Dodgers ownership be taken over by Dodger fans, much the way the Green Bay Packers are owned by citizens of Green Bay. Hoffarth asked me to comment on this proposal and I wrote a piece that is, no doubt, longer than what he is able to publish. So here is my entire response. Your comments are welcome:
Why I Won't Be at LA Kings Hockey Games Again This Season
A fellow hockey fan just wrote to me to ask me if I will be going to any Los Angeles Kings hockey games this coming season.
My next in-person appearance at a Kings game will be when they finally (for the first time since before the 9/11 attacks) make the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
