From the Detroit Free Press: Threat to marriage isn't its sexuality
"By all means dress in ridiculous togs, exchange rings and kisses ... but call it a wedding ... with nothing theological about it - and leave marriage to those who still believe in its sanctity."
- Brian Sewell
I did a London radio show two years ago with the gentleman quoted above. He is an old British art critic, famous for his acerbic tongue. Also on the program was a young gay female comedian who talked about wanting to get legally married.
As she spoke, Sewell harshly interrupted.
"Why should you get married?" he barked.

From the Detroit Free Press: Highlights from 'Watch With Mitch'
Free Press columnist Mitch Albom debuted the first in a series of "Watch With Mitch" live blogs for the Michigan State game.
By the way, how is it that Charles Barkley isn't hosting "Face The Nation" by now? He's on everything else.
MSU, Duke, Wisconsin and Florida. I'll probably be shot down by Sunday.
That last silly turnover is what raises Izzo's stress level on those medical tests.

From the Detroit Free Press: The end of an ice age
"It's not that the tank is completely empty, it just doesn't have enough to carry me through every day at the high level where I want to play at. ..."
Nicklas Lidstrom
The end of an ice age
Lidstrom's decision to leave the wings proves he was a rarity in Detroit sports
The Ice Man melteth.
It took 20 seasons, but those steel blue eyes began to water. The voice quivered. He was out of his element, wearing a suit, not a sweater, in front of a news conference, not a raucous arena, with notes in his hand, not a stick.
And he was saying good-bye.
