We applaud the Republican decision to stop defending DeLay from his deserved investigation through obstructive legislation, and for their own good we hope that Republicans will take the further step of relieving DeLay of his post as Majority Leader...

...this club has always been about team and community and home and family and New Englandm more than it's been about the individuals wearing the B-hats. I readily and happily acknowledge Ted and Yaz and Fisk and Luis and their legacies. I applaud the happy, wacky stars who lifted last year's team, and thus lifted us all. And if one of them tests positive I'll call him a crumbum and call for his ouster. But we'll still have...
