    Texas Senator, constitutional conservative, and GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz caught the attention of many Americans, pundits, and debaters with his powerful performance at the Wednesday night GOP presidential debate on CNBC. The moderators on CNBC did not conduct a debate, they were participating in a character assassination and shaming act. After he had finally had enough, Ted Cruz showed his incredible auditory memory skills in an epic and beautiful excoriation of not only the CNBC moderators, but of the Democrat Media Complex in general.That moment made Cruz the talk not only in media circles, but it was the...

    BOSTON - Michael Pineda got away with it the first time. He should have quit while he was ahead. The New York Yankees right-hander, who used a substance believed to be pine tar on his right hand when he faced the Boston Red Sox in New York on April 10, was ejected in the second inning of Wednesday night’s start against the same team with pine tar on his neck. “Yes, it was pine tar,” Pineda said after that game, adding, “It won’t happen again.” It was a frigid night at Fenway Park, the game-time temperature at 50 degrees but...

    Here in Rhode Island, where I was brought up and still spend my summers, it’s not so much Democrats vs. Republicans or haves and have-nots. Rhode Islanders are divided pretty evenly between whether you are a Red Sox fan or a Yankee fan. For Red Sox fans, this past weekend has been an unmitigated disaster, as the Yankees, mostly recovered from debilitating injuries, faced an obviously dispirited Red Sox team with its team captain and on-field leader on the bench, injured. Two hapless catchers, Lopez and Mirabelli, have been trying to spell the irreplaceable and scrappy Jason Varitek, but have...
