Good interview with Bill James on the NYT Freakonomics blog: http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2008...l-questions/?hp Q: Why can

To be honest, I didn't really like my second-grade teacher that much, either.

Heller and Vonnegut are the same people!?!?!

Dan Uggla hasn't gotten any smarter in the off-season, it seems.

Yeah. The math throws everything off. The best I can do is a contrast between Billy Pilgrim's total surrender to his non-free-will situation, while Yossarian combats his, with limited success.

Where'd Detroit get all that money from?

He's virtually starved that poor little country to death. Sic semper tyrannis.

If there's anyplace on Earth that could use a regime change, it would be Zimbabwe. Mugabe is scum and should get it like Mussolini and his woman got it.

Heh. Me too. I read in Newsday that Doc is not doing so well. What a sad story. What wasted potential.

I know the Marlins are a little short on pitching this year, but Bret Michaels? Wo.

Heh.

I'm not sure it was a big master plan on their part, but Wilco has done well, it seems, in an era of shifting music biz paradigms.

She's white. I'm white. Gary Sheffield is black. Barack Obama is mixed race. Bruce Lee was Chinese. Pancho Villa was Mexican. Geronimo was Native American. People are what they are. Pretending race doesn't exist is no more successful than pretending it's the only thing that exists.

Well, bully for Ryan Zimmerman.

As white people go. Hillary is awesome, but she's really risking whatever good will any of us have left for her by her retreating-German-army-destroying-everything-it-can't-carry approach. C'mon, Hillary. Is being the junior U.S. senator from the great state of New York all that bad? We'll meet at Val-Kill and have an ice cream cone.

Have a goooooooood one!

I like Steiner's XM show. He has beat writers on, so you actually get some intelligent commentary.

That's some strong shit, make you steal a Gremlin.
