Come On Reyes, Cruise For Me
Come on (Reyes') knees, don't be mean.
Start Wearing Purple
Despite what may have appeared to be a diatribe against any team not in the AL East, I am in fact a Colorado Rockies fan. Though baseball season most definitely began last night, today begins the season for the Rockies. According to my most conservative, pessimistic, unbiased projections, the Rockies will finish the year with [...]

Shut Up, You NL/AL Central Loving Hillbillies
What is this nonsense I keep hearing from the mouths of fans of teams that play in the Flyover-State Divisions? Shit like, “tomorrow’s the real opening day” and “the real baseball season doesn’t start until tomorrow”. Sounds like an extension of Palin’s “real” America rhetoric to me. Listen up, hillbillies.

Listen, Assholes. Quick Reactions To The SOTU.
This is going to be about style more than substance, because, unfortunately, I think it was more important for the SOTU to motivate people than it was to outline policy. So a few points. The attitude in the beginning was something like, “listen, assholes”. He was telling everyone we had to rescue the banks and [...]
What Needs To Happen In The SOTU
So, tonight, Obama doesn't need to hit a homerun. Well, he can, but he doesn't have to, at least not a walk-off homerun. A walk-off homerun isn't even possible, since he can't win the game all in one night. What he needs to do is get on base. He's got to get a rally going and get everyone else in dugout on their feet feeling some "hope", as cheesy as that sounds.
Filmaker Behind ACORN Sting Arrested. Does It Really Matter At This Point?
So, even though they were exonerated by a Congressional Research Service report, and even though portions of O'Keefe's film were substantially edited, and even though O'Keefe has now shown a pattern of unlawful tactics,ACORN was, is, and will remain a boogeyman.
