9 Dec 2008 at 9:17pm
PHILADELPHIA - If you had trouble spotting Lito Sheppard on the field Sunday during the Eagles' 20-14 win over the Giants, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight. Except for a few special-teams appearances, he didn't play. Wasn't on the field for any of his team's 51 defensive snaps. No doubt, there are more than a few conspiracy theorists out there who believe Sheppard's benching was orchestrated by a vindictive front office intent on showing Mr. Sheppard and his over-moussed agent, Drew Rosenhaus, what happens to players who have the audacity to squawk about the number of zeroes in their paycheck.

9 Dec 2008 at 6:02pm

Illinoisans awoke to news that their governor had been arrested, handcuffed and hauled before a federal magistrate on sweeping charges he conspired to sell his office many times over - including putting a price on the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.

'Car czar'? Autocrat would be more like it, critics say
9 Dec 2008 at 2:11pm
WASHINGTON - When Congress and the White House stepped in to save Chrysler during a turbulent economic period nearly three decades ago, they created a Loan Oversight Board to oversee $1.2 billion in loan guarantees. Today, they're weighing appointment of a "car czar" with similar responsibilities but potentially far greater power over American automakers. As part of the legislation being drafted to provide $15 billion in bridge loans to General Motors, Chrysler and potentially Ford, lawmakers and the Bush administration both agree in principal on the need for a so-called car czar.

Why Bill Richardson would be commerce secretary
9 Dec 2008 at 3:08am
WASHINGTON - As the Obama administration takes shape, the most curious appointment of all has been that of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as commerce secretary. Why would a popular governor, two-time Cabinet officer and aspirant for the White House take a post in a political and bureaucratic backwater? Ambitious even for a politician, Richardson will likely seek to transform the job and position himself as the most public Cabinet figure in righting the domestic economic disaster and transforming international trade. In doing so, he will form ties here and abroad that may ultimately write his biography in political history as a senior statesman, if never a president. As a result, more people may be affected by the new secretary than any other Cabinet figure.
