Another Brief Memo to Sen. McCain …

Use Federalist No. 57 as campaign guide to stand with the people, and tell us if you think 30% interest credit card interest rates are good for the economy.

NCAA Update …

There was no UMass-UMiss final in the National Invitation Tournament.  Ohio State is the NIT champion, defeating UMass, 92-85, in Madison Square Garden.  Announced attendance was 8,000. LPR wonders how much longer until the NCAA expands to take all the teams on the bubble, letting the NIT go the way of, say, Yankee Stadium.

LPR predicts that ...

… this perspective will be the most popular view of YS II for baseball fans this last season of the original Yankee Stadium. LPR estimates that more than 25 million images of this view will be taken this season.  Fans, don't forget the "the House that Ruth built." You won't have it to take pictures of it after this season.

(LPR, btw, may have posted the first image, of the gold-embossed "Yankee Stadium"  in place in the facade of the ballpark-in-progress.  Please see the archived article from the 1-19-08 edition of LPR -- CLICK HERE.
