...fact when I saw Lee Iacocca appear in a Chrysler ad with Snoop Dogg. Or when water was being advertised by 50 Cent. You know, c'mon guys. We don't court it, we don't overly promote it. Charles Barkley took me to task for having Big & Rich at the Denver All-Star Game (in 2005) because they weren't hip-hop. I'm waiting to be criticized for having Branford Marsalis and Harry Connick Jr. as half-time entertainment [at the 2008 All-Star game] in New Orleans because it wasn't hip enough. We go with...
...years ago Bent formed SunNight Solar to manufacture and distribute inexpensive solar-powered flashlights. His BOGO (for "Buy One, Give One"; buy one in the U.S., and SunNight sends one to Africa) lights were a perfect fit for sun-rich Africa, providing five hours of illumination - with energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) - after a 10-hour charge. Bent designed the flashlights himself - even making one model in pink, to discourage men from seizing the products from women. (They wouldn't want to be seen with the feminine-looking lights.)

Wow! In this age of self-centered, ego-driven tabloid stars, it's nice to know there's someone out there to whom Paul Newman can hand the torch. Kevin Statham, Sanger, California...
...surprisingly respectable showing in New Hampshire. And on Super Tuesday, he showed the real power of his upstart candidacy, winning three states that Romney had hoped to capture. But it was not enough to overcome the mortal blow he suffered in South Carolina, where he narrowly lost the evangelical-rich state to McCain, who had the help of Fred Thompson splitting the conservative base. Nevertheless, he fought on, campaigning hard in Virginia, Wisconsin and Texas. The delegate math, and entreaties from various Republican leaders for him to drop out, was no matter. "Folks, I didn't major in math...
