« Previous EntriesManny to Marlins? A match made in apathy heaven
Thursday, July 31st, 2008Manny to the Marlins is a perfect match. Nobody who lives in Miami gives two hoots about the Marlins, and Manny feels the same way about the fans. Perfect. He’ll be playing is a stadium that has 47,662 seats and only 15,686 bodies filling them.

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008One of the biggest reasons those who support Mitt Romney for VP is that he is supposedly an “economic conservative” who will shore up support among “pocket book conservatives.” As I and others have been saying for quite a while now, Romney’s actual record proves that he is neither socially conservative nor fiscally conservative.

Bruce McQuain at QandO sums it up nicely,
