There are a couple different shades of meaning to the word “exploit,” but when you say it angrily, you rarely mean it in a good way.
As the dictionary might say:
Use (a situation or person) in an unfair or selfish way.
The “e” word has been tossed around today in connection with calls for tighter restrictions on handguns; and to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about the…
Taxes are on some folk’s minds… not many, given the events in Virginia, Washington, and the middle east… but they’re on some folks minds.
According to the Hoover Institution, the share of income taxes paid by the top 5% of wage earners in the U.S. has gone up from 35% in 1980, to 58% in 2004.
It sure makes me glad I’m not in the top 5%! There’s no telling what…
There’s a little flap in the Sunshine State over an email and illegal imigration.
What surprises me about this is not the email, or the fact that we have illegal immigration in this country, but what people perceive is the cost of illegal imigration to us – the legal residents. So I started a little research project. It turns out there is quite a little debate going over just how many…
A collective sigh could be heard from as far as the Paines’ Prairie State Preserve late last week as word spread that Billy Donovan was not interested in the Kentucky job – and would be staying at Florida (for now).
Going back to my days as a UF freshman, and lonely season ticket holder under the Don Devoe regime, I’ve had a destinct inferiority complex over my allegiance to the…
Yes, the game would have turned out differently if OSU would have hit more outside shots… but the UF defense MAY have had something to do with it (my prior fears notwithstanding). Maybe this was OSU’s “A” game… and maybe, just maybe, UF brought it’s “A” game too.
OSU did get some open looks outside, with UF playing a lot of zone; but there…
UF 84 OSU 75
(Big sigh) I didn’t think Florida was as good in this tournament as it was last year, but ultimately it doesn’t matter one bit. Florida’s most valuable player was everyone that hit a shot outside the paint. Greg Oden was a man playing with boys; however, other than his fellow freshman point guard, he was the only one that showed up. He put OSU on his back and…
Florida is up on Ohio State by eleven. I kid you not, Greg Oden is a basketball stud. Florida has no inside game with Oden in the game, which will be a problem in the second half if the Florida shooters cool off… and they may if they start to get tired… and Cory Brewer is playing a lot of minutes. So is Oden, but the difference is tired legs don’t affect dunks as much as outside…
I just love Orrin Hatch. For those of you not in the know, Mr. Hatch is a U.S. Senator from the state of Utah. On Meet the Press Sunday morning, Mr. Hatch angrily defended the Bush administration and the Justice Department proclaiming, “there’s not a shred of evidence suggesting an ongoing investigation was interfered with… they’re (the Democrats) creating a tempest in a…
There was a time, not so long ago, when I thought Jorge was going to be a part of the glory Rays. Now it looks like he’s destined to play for someone else. I’m forced to face the fact that he wasn’t going to be the guy at second base for the Rays. When BJ Upton beats you out because his defense is BETTER, you know you’ve got a problem.
I understand it came down to a choice…
