Andy Williams had it all wrong. I'm sorry, but I'll take September's non-stop MLB pennant chasing + NFL + Notre Dame losing to Michigan combination over cold and snow and fake Santas any day. In fact, since it's an election year, we get even more drama to go with our Irish-trouncing, and if you wait until the end of this post, you'll even see that the Republicans have JOKES! But first thing's first: TUNE IN TO BASEBALL. My lord, between the AL Central showdown, the A's/Angels wild card battle and the AL East title three-way, I can't imagine a more exciting scenario (except maybe a non-baseball related three-way, but that's for a different blog). Consider the NL wild card race and the fact that one of the three AL East teams could also nab the last AL West wild card spot and now allow your mind...

You Are What You Eat

If you have a stomach strong enough to stand the neverending barrage of political headline craptitude, then you might already know that the Mitt Romney camp is eager to point out that Barack Obama ate dog as a child. Obviously, this is pretty important stuff. As the Republicans know, you are what you eat (is Astroglide edible?), and no doubt, Obama's youthful ingestion of doggie treats certainly makes him unfit for a job as demanding as the presidency. Which got me thinking about my favorite baseballers and what they eat. Sure, some probably go for too much hot dog and not enough arugula salad, but let us examine to make sure. The interns have graciously prepared some slides. Jonathan Broxton

This Is MLB… and THIS Is MLB on Drudge

There are two taxing and equally debilitating activities that I force myself to partake in, every... single... day. I swallow a big@$$ horse-pill that's supposed to make my cartilage stronger; and I read all of the headlines on The Drudge Report.

If I had time, I would also stick rusty needles under each of my fingernails.

Why do I do these things? I take the horse-pill 'cuz it comes highly recommended by my doctor, and my doctor is a smart dude (he hates the Cubs, man!).

And I check in with The Drudge Report because it's important to know what the "other" side is thinking, how they're scheming, how they're fear mongering and how they're doing other popular GOP pastimes. But mostly I just like to laugh at how Drudge turns a headline like "Wall Street Baffled by Slowing Economy" into "WE...

Giving Glenn a Hand

Unfortunately, this mutual divorce means no more frog murdering on live television. It means no more psychotic temper tantrums directed towards reason. And yes, sadly, my friends, It means no more *oligarhy*.

But never fear! Glenn Beck is the Washington Nationals of politics! He may be an embarrassment to the establishment, but damn does he make things interesting every once in a while!

In fact, rumor has it, he might even start his own television network! Read more

Going Rogue? Or Going Crazy…

This Going Rogue business is mostly all about making money... right?

If that's the case, then great; I applaud thee, Sarah Palin. Sell your book! Make money! It's the US American way!

Unfortunately, reason tells me that ex-Governor Palin has a hard time separating fantasy from reality -- that she is absolutely serious when she says she wants to play a major role in American politics -- that she isn't going away anytime soon.

While she remains silent on any possible presidential plans, one must assume that is the ultimate goal.

And that is insane.

So too is her sheepish quip that she will run only "if people will have me."

Hmm. Perhaps Madame Palin should start by...
