2. Speaking of the worst of American society...
...as I was standing in the checkout line of my local Miami area Publix supermarket tonight, I noticed a family clad in Jets regalia malingering in the line next to me.

Then a guy in a Pats jersey walked by.

As the kids say, I was all WTF??

Then I remembered...Pro Bowl tomorrow.

6. George Will is biased in favor of baseball.
But he doesn't know shit about that sport either. Can anyone remember the name of that baseball book he wrote about 80 years ago? Neither can I.
