Mark McGwire, after admitting he lied about steroids, has once again accused someone else, in this case his brother, about lying about the details of that steroid use. Isn’t this kind of like Tiger Woods quibbling about his number of waitresses.

In their neverending effort to come up with an aggravating prime-time show, NBC did a segment on why Canada has produced so many great comics – Dan Ackroyd, Mike Meyers, John Candy, Jim Carrey….

Meg Whitman, already up over 30 points in the Republican primary over her opponent Steve Poizner, has now unleashed a barrage of negative ads against Poizner.
