Let’s hope last night’s Laker wipe-out by the Houston Rockets was caused by Kobe Bryant’s sore throat, but it sure looked like a more serious problem than that. Anyway, the less said about that, the better. Wait ’til Wednesday! (David Thomson stop grinning.)
Meanwhile, on a more serious matter (what’s sports, after all?… a distraction), check out my review of my colleague Andrew Klavan’s new book in the Washington Times. It’d be a good Fourth of July present (or whatever) for the high school student in your family/circle.
I’m not a big BB fan until it gets into the playoffs. Last night at the end of the game they did an interview with Ming, and I was amazed that the guy spoke with less of an accent then I thought he would have had.
Sounds like the book by Klaven has been a noble pursuit and I am grateful for it. I have had many discussions over the years with my son on dealing with uber-liberal teachers and their attempts to mold student opinion to match theirs.

Opps, look like Roger may have a sore wroth.
(Not about the Lakers) Your book review was great. We need more literature and movies portraying real and believable struggles against thuggish thought police. This legal thriller would be a great movie: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124121851177078835.html

What could possibly be more important than the Rockets beating the Lakers? They key to the series may be the development of point guard Aaron Brooks. He has the unfortunate habit of being inconsistent. Brooks might need another year of experience. But if he truly is ready now—the Rockets should win the championship. We will see.
Another embarrassment — PJ’s Israel correspondent, Joe the Plumber:
Roger, Bynum is a real problem….what’s the deal with him?
