Free Pacman Jones! Or At Least Let Him Back On The Football Field
As UT's Longhorn football team approached their spectacular game with Oklahoma last week and a tough stretch in their schedule over the next few games, including tonight hosting #11 Missouri, I've found myself checking in more frequently at the venerable sports cable network ESPN and couldn't help but notice they're producing a flood of stories aggressively criticizing troubled Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, who was suspended this week by the league after an argument with a bodyguard at a hotel.
ESPN and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seem determined to turn Pacman Jones into the next Michael Vick - a sacrificial lamb suitable for crucifixion in the media to show the league doesn't tolerate bad guys. Maybe Jones deserves it for his past transgressions, which I've never closely followed before he came to Dallas, but not for the incident that most recently hounded him out of the league.

CROSSING PARTY L.INES: JOE LIEBERMAN VERSUS CHRIS BUCKLEY
JOE IS A MAN OF GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS: YALE, YALE LAW, STATE AG, SENATOR (D), SENATOR (I). AND HE'S AN ORTHODOX JEW.
A MAN OF HIGH AND FIRM MORAL PRINCIPLES. HE PUT THE NATION AT WAR AHEAD OF PARTY LOYALTY.
CHRIS BUCKLEY IS A PUNK.
A SHADOW OF A WISP OF A SPLINTER OF A THREAD OF HIS OL' MAN, THE GREAT WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY - WHO WROTE CHRIS'S ILLEGITIMATE CHILD OUT OF HIS WILL.
HE HAS ENDORSED OBAMA, AND HIS ENDORSEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT DOESN'T HOLD WATER.
HERE'S WHY I CALL CHRISSIE A PUNK:
THE HARTFORD COURANT:
As William F. Buckley Jr.'s only child, satirist and former White House aide Christopher Buckley is poised to inherit a fortune worth tens of millions of dollars. But as Buckley waits for the estate of his late father to go through probate court in...

Kathleen Parker On Chris Buckley, National Review: "(Republicans) Do Not ... Deserve To Win This Time, And Someone Had To Remind Them Why.&am
NAC has been following this story since Christopher Buckley's on-line Obama endorsement first broke.
William F. Buckley was articulate and intelligent, whereas contemporary conservatism boasts a crass anti-intellectualism that lately has become viral.
Surveying the scurrilous faith-based wreckage of the conservative movement, which today embraces the "we the people don't need no education" line of non-thought and would correspondingly not hesitate to ostracize Buckley elder in the same way that it has impugned the younger, as well as previously savaging Kathleen Parker for her apostasy in denouncing Sarah Palin, LEO’s Stephen George said it best earlier this week:
Let’s call this line of thinking the terrorism of the idiocracy. It did not start with John McCain or Sarah Palin — although they have found wild profit in it — and it surely will not end there. In actuality, it begins in the vacuum created by a general...

Parker Defends Buckley For Endorsing Obama
Kathleen Parker, a conservative columnist, defends Christopher Buckley, another conservative, after he got squeezed from his writing gig for endorsing Obama.
It's good to see conservatives rejecting the radical right, which is all the McCain campaign seems to want to appeal to.
WaPo: Christopher Buckley's endorsement of Barack Obama -- followed by his abrupt departure from the back page of the magazine his father founded, National Review -- has caused a ripple of contempt from the conservative right.
Nay, make that a tsunami of hostility. An avalanche of venom. A cataclysm of ... well, you get the idea. People are mad. Good riddance, they say, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Let us proceed, gingerly.
I am not a passive bystander to these events. Buckley is a friend, as are other members of his family, especially Uncle Reid, with whom I have...

Romo Practices, Could Play Sunday (AP)
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who wants to play despite a broken pinkie on his throwing hand, practiced and threw passes to receivers Thursday. Coach Wade Phillips didn't rule out the possibility of Romo playing Sunday at St. Louis even though he said the quarterback was limited in practice Thursday and that Brad Johnson took most of the snaps.
