(Newser) – Taking exception to all-male White House basketball games, Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman today challenged President Obama to some one-on-one. “To score some real points with the public, stop arguing and just play ball—with the best,” Lieberman, 51 and coming off a stint last year in the WNBA writes. “Shoot some hoops with yours truly.”

Seriously, the country is in dire straits and you people are bickering about a basketball game?

And my username, kokua, means help in Hawaiian -- which is what you need to get, badly. I'm here for you. ; ^)

Your information on the POTUS is more current than mine, prowler. You'd be stalking him, no doubt, if you could get away with it. As for waffles and sausages ... it could be that a man who saw both of his parents die young and in poor health wants to do what he can to eat a diet that's healthy so he'll be around for his children (and grandchildren) when they need him. ; ^) Do you like Mai Tais?
