The Philly Wire
With most of our Flyers discussion centering on losses and coaching changes and captaincy controversy, I think most of us are ready to just see some hockey players get on the ice and do some hitting and scoring. We'll have more on that a bit later, with the newish-look Flyers set to take on the Ovechkin-less Caps tonight, but for now, a little reminder of something we can all look forward to.

A report by Peter Baker in the New York Times this morning provides some insights into the intense and often agonizing behind the scenes deliberations over the Afghanistan review that took place inside the Obama White House. [H]is advisers say he was haunted by the human toll as he wrestled with what to do about the eight-year-old war. Just a month earlier, he had mentioned to them his visits to wounded soldiers at the Army hospital in Washington. "I don't want to be going to Walter Reed for another eight years," he said then. The economic cost was troubling him as well after he received a private budget memo estimating that an expanded presence would cost $1 trillion over 10 years, roughly the same as his health care plan. Now as his top military adviser ran through a slide show of options, Mr. Obama expressed frustration. He held up a chart showing how reinforcements would... Read the rest of "Obama's Bet"
After all, he is the smartest man in the room. Just ask him.

Apparently it struck a chord with women around the country when the Massachusetts senatorial candidate spoke out against the Stupak amendement, because she’s raking in the bucks from women:
Women from every state have donated, usually in small-dollar amounts, to the campaign war chest of Attorney General Martha Coakley, who, through the most recent reporting period, had raised about twice as much as her nearest competitors in the four-way race that will be decided in Tuesday’s special primary.
Political fund-raising has long been dominated by men, but for the Coakley campaign two-thirds of its donors are women, a review by the Globe of her campaign finance reports shows.

 When your quarterback gets pulled in favor of a 33-year-old Koy Detmer haflway through a game, chances are better than not that you're going to lose that game 42-0. The Eagles found that one out the hard way on December 5th, 2005, when the Seattle Seahawks came to the Linc and very rudely thrashed their guests to the titular six-TD+PAT tune. Awash in the TO fallout and missing QB1 Donovan McNabb for the remainder of the seaosn, the game was the worst of a very bad season, dropping the Eagles to 5-7 and basically ensuring their absence from a fifth straight NFC Championship game.
