Throw the book at ... everybody

No doubt that Frank Francisco should have the book thrown at him for what he did in Oakland Monday night. But for that matter, so should the rest of us, for condoning the type of behavior that preceded the Texas Rangers relief pitcher&#39;s errant toss.

No swearing allowed. Quit the sexist and racist chants, as well. And if sports fans don't stop, they will get tossed from the stands, Boston University officials are warning.

I have no problem with the photograph but why would you bother publishing the story of a complete waste-of space family in the first place? Giving such people any publicity is something you and all media should be ashamed of.

I put mainstream media in the same league with comic books. The goal of the media is to sell. When it comes to any message coming from the media, caveat emptor.

PHILADELPHIA - Go ahead and burn the season tickets. Hold them up like candles in the Jersey marshland winds. Start a parking lot vigil, right now, in the name of Eli Manning, because these Giants will have

Tycho:   The foe revealed, Armadeaddon is now almost complete.  Monday will see the promised epilogue, so at this point you have very nearly survived the ordeal.  We have endeavored these past weeks to reward the true "enthusiast," that man or woman who, brow heavy, has faced such cruel abuse at our hand for the last seven years.  It is apparently our policy to honor such dedication one every decade.    Since it was announced a couple days ago, the revelation that MS would be actively courting the hardcore boardgame player is something I've thought about almost constantly.  It may be that you weren't aware there was such a thing as a hardcore player of boardgames if your last experience with the context was playing Sorry! with your sister when you were eight.  Things have progressed.   There's a million experiences in this space I could use to lure you in, but one company in particular - Days of Wonder has already decided to make electronic variants of their tabletop crack, so they occupy a twilight space between the worlds.  I hope they see an opportunity to take their (already completed!) games over to the 360, or that Microsoft offers them a locked case containing an unspecified amount of untraceable U.S. Currency, because I'd love to see this prescient move by MS turn into a new era.   Days of Wonder makes a game called Shadows Over Camelot that could quickly become a dangerous obsession, obscuring biological realities with a single-minded focus on grails.  Well, grail I guess.  There's just the one.    But it's a completely cooperative boardgame, so every player is working toward the same goals - fighting back invasions, questing, all of it.  Except there might be a traitor in the group, determined by a hidden draw, who tries to derail the effort.  He's not always there, but the potentiality of that nefarious force can create unbelievable social tension.    The gaming table's fixed coordinate in space is its asset and its obstacle - managing space and time is actually the primary challenge of any gaming group, as opposed to banishing necromancers, though that also ranks up there.  Boardgames are so rich in design that, when one of these gets dropped in front of them on Live, I think many gamers will be shocked at their sophistication.    My thumbs hurt.  (CW)TB out.

One sign Election 2004 is over: At Barnes &amp; Noble bookstores, tables piled with current-events books have been dismantled, giving way to holiday gift-book displays. In a year teeming with books from the left and the right, only a "non-political" political book remains a top seller -America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction by Jon Stewart and The Daily Show, a sendup of a high school civics textbook.
