First, I thought he was an idiot. Then, I thought he was insane. Now, I’m convinced he’s an evil genius. Watch Blago poison his potential jury pool with an impassioned and bizarre performance on steps of his house where he makes his case to the public that he was impeached solely for standing up for [...]

Obama’s first favorability ratings came out this week, and just like during the transition, they were extraordinarily high. This, of course, is an enormous advantage for Obama when it comes to getting bills through Congress-the legislators with a 20% approval rating are going to have to bend to demands from the man with a 70% [...]

Last postseason, Eli Manning famously made it through the entire postseason–which he played entirely on the road–while only throwing one interception.
