We do not define "Community" →
Should government take license with the concept of “community”? In case you missed it last week, here’s my latest contribution for the ASPA Blog.
Did sprawl contribute to the NFL's decision to...
Philly may not be urban sprawl’s poster child, but you can find numerous suburbs that surround the major city. Had the potential for a winter storm hitting at game time been a likelihood 30 years ago, would the teams really be concerned about the fans’ commutes to (and from) the stadium?
It’s likely that the Eagles’ fanbase is far more suburban than it used to be. Thus,...
My latest #ASPA Blog post: We do not define... →
Watching Steve Croft’s “60 Minutes” story on state and local govt. fiscal crises, including an honest and neutral interview of New Jersey Chris Christie. Didn’t see ANY promos for this segment, only for a separate “happy” story. Did CBS “bury the lead” and dump this story with no promos on the weekend before Christmas, when no one will be around to...

Starting a Speech →
The ideas suggested are well-tested and have been recommended for a long time. They are as effective now as they’ve ever been. (h/t @kellygiles)
What's Miley guilty of? Nothing!
Looks like the forces of celebrity darkness have targeted Ms. Cyrus once again for a questionable, legal indulgence.
The video of Miley smoking a legal hallucinogen (Salvia) during a party about a week after her 18th Birthday are embarrassing. Other than that, they’re pointless. On my 1 to 10 scale of concerns, they rank around 1.5 and only register b/c you want to make sure that...
States & Bailouts →
For those unhappy with Sarah Palin’s take on why state govt. bailouts are a bad idea, here’s a more focused argument against and an evaluation of the potential magnitude if a crisis erupts with even one state.

Cam's Moment
Last week, Auburn QB Cam Newton did what he always wanted to do: win the big game that mattered to him.
Today, Newton can solidify his standing as one of the most dominant players in recent college football history by winning the game that matters to everyone else.
Cam’s drive, determination and leadership, not to mention unmistakable physical advantages, enabled him to have his way with...
