  Anyway, the debate wasn't a knockout.

  That's about the size of it. Foreign affairs is supposed to be McCain's strong suit, his home turf. Tonight he looked like a boxer who was just holding on to his opponent. (I'd like to know a bit more about McCain's reluctance to…

  There are many, many things that I greatly appreciate and admire about Japan. This is one of them. But I must confess that I am still a novice and have much more to test (drink) and learn.

  chibaman, someone who dishes out respect as easily as you appear to could never have played any sport at a high level. It's all about standards, and some folks have much more demanding standards of themselves and others.

  hoserfella: The SI/CNN homepage contains exactly the same rumor as printed above verbatim.

  Why do you claim this is more than rumor? Or is there a link you can provide that is not a reprint of what can be read above?

  For some reason, my previous post got cut off.

  Your original post was On CNN tonight, an insider to the White House meeting described McCain as being totally uninvolved

  And I stand by that. And we've seen absolutely no evidence to question Begala's account of the events relayed to…

  Mr. McCain made a decision to go back to Washington D.C, to do the job that Arizona voters expect him to do.

  Nippon5: You requested a link and you got it. (One only wonders why you have to cut and paste the same information back in your reply.)

  The title of this article is a terrible one in its attempt to turn an unfounded rumor into a statement of fact. Why would JT want to do this?

  The reality is this: "Ichiro rumored to be the target of malcontent by unnamed Mariner's player." Or, why not simply add…
