Sean Keeler: Remember The Jordan Rules, my friend? It might be time for The Caitlin Rules. You know one of the first things I thought of when I saw Chennedy Carter go all WWE on the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark over the weekend? 1990. That’s when the NBA instituted the flagrant foul as we know it — and did so, at least in part, because Michael Jordan, the emerging face of the league, was getting the snot kicked out of him, physically and competitively, by Detroit’s “Bad Boy” Pistons.

I was an intern at the Colorado Springs Gazette covering the election results in 2006 when Doug Lamborn won a crowded Republican primary with a mere 27% of the vote. People were genuinely shocked by the results. Lamborn went on to serve in Congress for 17 years despite facing primary challenges every two years from those frustrated by the congressman’s incompetence. Colorado Republicans are at risk of making the same mistake – two times — this June in the critical primaries for Lamborn’s 5th Congressional District and the 4th Congressional District where incumbent Ken Buck is retiring. Bosom buddies and political extremists Lauren Boebert and Dave Williams could win with a minority of support in two districts where long-time Republican incumbents have retired.

By Margaux Laskey, The New York Times More fun, less drudgery. That’s my goal for the summer — and specifically for my summer cooking. In my dreams, I’m whisking together a vinaigrette in a seaside cottage with a big breezy kitchen and a farm stand down the road (think Diane Keaton’s place in “Something’s Gotta Give”).
