Some Farewell Tour.

- I'm very ambivalent about the end of the Isiah Thomas farewell tour. On one hand I wanted to see the most hated man in the league run out of town never to be heard from again. On the other hand I hope the Knicks continue to stink so we can keep rippin' on him.

- Don't look now but the Spurs are playing as well as ever. The Spurs are to the NBA what the Patriots are to the NFL. They spook everybody because they now how to win and are better coached than anyone else. While the Mavericks are winning at a ridiculous rate I still don't think they can beat the Spurs. The only team that can is the Suns.

- In my opinion James Brown was the most influential stage performer in music history. It makes me very sad to know that he had to suffer the indignity of having Al Sharpton preside over his burial ceremony.

- It's a sad day when someone as left of center as Stephane Dion takes aim at the Tory tax policy and is right on the money (no pun intended). We used to have one party in this country that watered down it's platform, didn't stand for anything and had no principles. Now we have two as Stephen Harper can't be considered a conservative at all. Which is why Canadian politics barely ever rates a mention on this site.
