Red Sox win World Series

For the 2nd time in 4 seasons, the Red Sox have won the World Series.
While their win is satisfying to this fan, it is also almost anti-climactic.  Indeed, disappointing.
During the ALCS battle with Cleveland, I would often hear how the victor of that series could only look forward to being cannon fodder for the Colorado [...]

Racist mofo visits the Litterbox

I was having a really good Sunday. 
Earlier today, I watched the PA District 3 cross-country championships behind the Giant Center in Hershey.  Some really great racing by high schoolers.  After I returned home, I ordered some pizza and turned on the television to watch the New England Patriots beat the snot out of the Washington [...]

FEMA pats its own back

There were some mighty bad fires in southern California this week.  Nearly 2000 homes were destroyed.  Firefighters were in great danger, helicopters dropped water and retardant, politicians visited, and FEMA gave itself a press conference.
What’s that, you say?

Great day to be a Boston sports fan

It sure was a heck of alot more interesting than watching Valerie Plame being interviewed on 60 Minutes. 
We already knew, and have known for some time, that the covert former CIA agent was outted by someone in the current administration.  The White House can blame Armitage all they’d like, I don’t care.  It’s fairly obvious that [...]
