1. A-Rod's homer don't mean squat

A-Rod was juiced for most of his baseball feats. He will go down as a juicer like McGwire.

[Ter]

8. He hasn't failed a test since 2003

Juiced for most of his baseball feats? Unlikely.

2. Pitchers were lining up to throw this guy a goffer ball.

3. Obama didnt make a surprise visit to Afghanistan during the home run...

...thus the GOP must attack, attack, attack!!

[Phx_Dem]

4. I don't get it. What does A-Rod have to do with anything?

[niceypoo]

5. My sister in law thinks he is the hottest thing since jalapeno poppers

6. Disclaimer:

Not a Yankees fan by any stretch of the imagination.

Baseball always has, and will be by favorite sport.

Having said that, I have a question.

What in the Sam Hell does Baseball or a homerun for that matter have to do with the way the Political wind blows?

7. I guess to get people to click on the links?

:shrug:

9. LOL. I am NOT clicking on those links. Chuckie will remain unread by me.

:rofl:

But are they really talking about A-Rod's home run adversely affecting Obama? I mean, I wouldn't put it past any of them one bit. Esp Politico or Chuckie or Laura or NPR. CSM says something worthwhile once in a blue moon. Well, maybe once every 3 or 4 blue moons.

10. RAISE TAXES ON MILLIONAIRES LIKE A-ROD!

I have no desire to figure out what Chuckie Todd has to say, but I will say this - RAISE TAXES NOWWWWWWWW on the millionaires!


EVERYONE keep saying it - this country is gonna fall badly if we don't. They have everything, the people working hard are "officially" insolvent and behind on all their bills...


RAISE THE TAXES ON THE MILLIONAIRES!!!

[Marsala]

11. Amusing

I was afraid that I had falled into an alternate universe where our political discourse is even stupider until I clicked on the links... and realized that I have been living in that universe all along.

12. You talking about Pay-Rod? Blech!

:puke:
