Who's the next face of the Falcons?

He's dressed in black and red, and stands on the 50-yard line at the Georgia Dome. His presence is commanding, and his voice is forceful and commanding when he speaks. He's leading a choir. If you're thinking Matt Ryan, Tony Gonzalez or Michael Turner, you're wrong. Instead, the Atlanta Falcons have gone Hollywood for a video promotion released Friday. Actor Samuel L. Jackson is the man urging fans and the city to "Rise Up" in the powerful production. "It's time we all rise up," Jackson says in the video. "We've been knocking on the door. Now it's time to blow...

Angry Blagojevich says on tape, 'I get nothing' (Obama was "all take and no give")

CHICAGO – An angry Rod Blagojevich is heard ripping into Barack Obama on FBI tapes played Wednesday at his corruption trial, calling the newly elected president "all take and no give" for ignoring his overtures about an alleged deal that the Illinois governor hoped would secure his financial future. "I get nothing," Blagojevich thunders. At another point, sounding desperate to assure himself of enough money after leaving the governor's office, he rails against Obama and his aides, saying, "The arrogance of these people." In the days after the November 2008 election, the Blagojevich heard on tape seems determined to secure...

Desperately Seeking Liberals

I recently embarked on a grand experiment. Unfortunately, it was a miserable failure. It all started a few weeks ago, when I decided to include an e-mail address in my articles rather than read the comments thread. I thought it would be cool to commune with readers while avoiding the pesky trolls. I received over four hundred emails the first time around. But there were unusual circumstances behind the deluge: My article, "A Shrink Asks: What's Wrong with Obama?" went viral. Most of the e-mails came from conservatives, though I received my fair share of nasty-grams from liberals. That's when...

Americans going mad with anger

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Maybe Howard Beale was right. Maybe when Peter Finch’s tele-ranter urged his viewers in “Network” to go to their windows and yell, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!” into the evening void, he was ahead of his time on the primal scream therapy front. These days, anger in America is such an epidemic that there’s a chat show running on MSNBC this week actually called America the Angry. It’s a good week for it. On Monday, the anniversary of both the anti-government radical terrorist attack Oklahoma City bombing and the anti-government...
