Dick Cheney on the Military (From the voice of Vice President-Elect Dick Cheney...) ------------------------------------- On my way to work last week, I stopped behind a purple Geo Metro with my least favorite bumper sticker ever plastered across the back. It read: "It'll be a great day when schools have all the money they need and the Air Force has to have a bake sale to buy a bomber." At that moment, I realized who the most undervalued and under appreciated segment of society is. And it ain't teachers. Teachers, I believe, rank second on that list. Heading the list are ...

Unchained by Ray Lewis with Dan Le Batard Ray Lewis has a story to tell -- a story about race, celebrity, circumstance and all manner of judgment, from his to his jury's to the nation's. It's a story that began on Super Bowl night in Atlanta, when two men were murdered outside a nightclub during a fight in which he was involved. The Magazine's Dan Le Batard spoke with Lewis intermittently throughout this season and spent seven hours interviewing him December 18 in Baltimore. This is Lewis' story -- in his own words -- excerpted from the January 8 issue ...

Too soon to forget about Lewis' sins The rehabilitation of the image of Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis officially seems to have begun. He did his first interview of the season with Lesley Visser of CBS last weekend and she also talked to his teammates and good friends, Shannon Sharpe and Rod Woodson, and he is playing great football and the Ravens are headed to the playoffs and ... turn the page, all seems to be well again. Excuse me if I don't turn the page just yet. Ten months, 11 months, seems a little soon to be putting this ...

The Ravens are ranked No. 1 in defense and have a excellent chance to set the record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game regular season. In 74 career games now, Lewis has made 864 tackles. It's all status quo, business as usual. Well, not quite. There is a huge issue complicating Lewis' life. And it's not what you think. With the regular season winding ...
