The sidewalk outside the Press Club building was full of activity. There were people out enjoying the Spring weather, many going into the building, several cameramen waiting patiently, delivery...

It looks like outspoken Iraq war critic Janeane Garofalo won't be honoring her pledge to apologize to President Bush anytime soon. "I have nothing to apologize for," she told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg, who requested an interview with the comedienne-turned-peacenik for his Sunday morning broadcast.

"Boycotters are welcome to keep giving me tons of publicity," she dared before reiterating, "There will be no apologies." Just five weeks...

NPR Snobs Tired of War Coverage Oh dear, when will this awful war coverage stop - it's simply too much to bear for all those elitist snobs who depend on National Public Radio (NPR) to protect them from having to listen to ...gasp ... commercial radio broadcasts as the common people do.

Directly beneath Ed Miersch's ivory-towered perch, the Sixers are fighting for their NBA lives. Down two games to one against the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, they need to win this game or their season will be over. The sellout crowd, sporting Iverson jerseys and Sixers caps, is waving white rally towels, urging the Sixers to victory. They cheer with every basket, groan with every miss, living and dying with each trip downcourt. Miersch, dressed in a suit and tie, occasionally glances down at the action. More often his eyes will swipe the scoreboard just to see...
