THE ROUNDUP
A quick take on the day's headlines

SI columnist Phil Taylor has a very intriguing article examining why men fight. He cleverly compares the actions of Bush with the actions of Mike Piazza in his baseball brawl last week.

Newsweek's Marc Peyser has hit the nail on the head with regard to television coverage of the war. I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated by the news networks inability to present a complete overview of what's going on and when. As Peyser puts it "What do you call it when someone turns on the lights but you still can’t see?"

And finally I got the news I have been waiting well over a year for: Radiohead is releasing a new album. Cleverly titled Hail to the Theif, it sound like the record will have some sharp anti-Bush commentary. Here's hoping the band returns to it's more melodic (as in less weird electronic techno-y) roots.
