Agassi's Career Comes to Close With Loss. Truly the end of an era. Agassi was one of those rare sports figures who conducted himself well in public and on the court. The polar opposite to McEnroe who's antics both on and off the court reflected poorly on him. I watched part of the match yesterday and Agassi did indeed start strong but it was evident after the third set that he was slowing down. It's too bad he didn't win but losing like this really showed him that it was time to retire. Well done, Andre.

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
