Slog Bible Study: Luke 19:23-27.
Which explains how hedge fund managers wind up with hundreds of million dollars they can throw away on buying a failing basketball team!

Hansen Ups Offer for Sacramento Kings. Again..
Yay! Hope Mr Hansen makes David Stern look like an idiot! And I know folks who worked at Key Arena - who were laid off after the Sonics left. The new arena will create a lot of jobs - not necessarily full time, but the part time work to supplement regular incomes is VERY much appreciated by lots of workers!

Dueling Gold Star Comments of the Day.
@19 is right. Seattle will not be happy with "sloppy seconds" of maybe you will get an expansion team in 2 to 3 years. Lots will happen to kill a new proposal in the meantime - such as McGinn no longer mayor. Hanson's deal was a very good one - fhe best the NBA could ever expect.

New Poll Proves Americans Have No Memory.
God Almighty, Paul, may you live to be ninety - in good health! I wouldn't wish that anyone I like to die befoe Dubyah! (not that he will do anything soon) Hopefully, he will be our only Harvard B-School Pres!

Slog Bible Study: Job 9:23.
@2 It's common for some Old Testament folks to tell God to fuck off-which I find refreshing. The Hebrew people knew how to tell the Almighty One to take a hike! In contrast to our modern view that conflates piety with spirituality.
