Just when I thought I was getting my arms around this whole Michael Vick/ Roger Goddell matter, I have to stop and regroup.
From the voice of reason comes a quote critical of Goodell's inaction in making a decision in the matter: "It's almost like kicking a dead horse in the ground!"
Yeah, that came from the elder statesman , Terrell Owens. I really wanted to hear more. So I was about to go to the newspapers most likely to be interested in their favorite son:, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The Dallas News. Then, I remembered, "No, now it's The Buffalo News."
Just my luck. They were apparently closed due to an unexpected snowstorm.

"African- American scholar Henry Louis Gates and the police officer who
arrested him last week are likely to get together at the White House soon as President Obama tries to quell a furor his words helped fuel"
That was the lead sentence in a report filed by Susan **** for USA Today.
"Susan, the policeman's name is Sgt. James Crowley".
I guess U2 was right; unintentionally or not, "Words Are Weapons"

O.K. No more sage advice. From the same source as the first quote (Reader's Digest) comes this: "Socrates was a Greek philosopher who went around giving people good advice. They poisoned him." (anonymous)
