Arash Markazi's Outstanding Expense Account
If you've ever worked in the field of journalism, you know that, when it comes to travel arrangements, the media could use better travel agents.

The Peter King-KSK Standoff
The rockers over at Kissing Suzy Kobler would like to let you know that they are reasonable people.

Departure Of Arena Football Set To Cripple NBC
It's a day we've all been dreading. The Arena Football League's deal with NBC has expired, and NBC has opted not to renew it. I know, I'm as upset about it as you are. We shared so much this season through the ups and downs of the Arena League. It brought us all closer together....
