Mulkey Waters

By now, even if you only read or watch High Brow news, you've come across the threat by Kim Mulkey, LSU girls basketball coach, to sue the Washington Post should it publish a story she labels as false. Hmmm??? Didn't Nixon have something similar to say?? Or the Orange Jesus?? And most other sociopaths.

So, what's the story? Neither Mulkey nor the Post have, as I type, revealed the substance. But Mulkey at both Baylor and LSU, has a history. Here's a review. Near as I can find, neither that reporter nor the organ were sued by Mulkey. Red State collegiate atheletics has been deep in doodoo forever. Coaches that manage to win hardware get lavished with tens of millions of dollars in bakksheesh. Kids, a precious few, go on to get their own bakksheesh in the pros. The vast majority 'earn' a degree in basket weaving and some such, rather than a valuable skill or a measure of higher order thinking; just the pleasure of being cannon fodder for greedy adults. Wouldn't it be nice if LSU spent that $30+ million on science labs instead?

Who wins? On the whole, only the Mulkeys of the world.
