I hate MLB.com: I'll spare you the details, but circumstances led me to try to listen to the Twins tonight over the internet, but nooooo. MLB rules prohibit broadcasters from streaming games over the internet unless you go to mlb.com and subscribe for an admittedly nominal fee. Fine, I dragged the stereo back up from the basement which, er, I probably should have done anyway by now. One former girlfriend is probably happy as hell right now and has no idea why.
Twins: Earlier today the Twins took the makeup game from yesterday by a score of 3-2 in 10 innings. I guess it was a heck of a game but I couldn't catch it because of meetings. That put them 1 game back of the Tigers, but as I type this they are getting smacked around by the Tigers, down 5-0 in the bottom of the fifth. I sense the number two will be in my dreams tonight.
I don't get it: With all the millions of people this revolution murdered, why is the Empire State building honoring the PRC Revolution?
I understand the need for realism and diplomacy when it comes to communist China, but actually honoring the PRC? Do 60 million dead really mean nothing? Nothing?
Roman Polanski: I'm certainly not going to defend a man having sex with a 13-year-old girl under any circumstances. Reading the tawdry and pretty sad details that The Smoking Gun presents here and here (fixed, had the same url twice, sorry) makes me wonder what is the right thing to do at this point and frankly, I'm not sure I want to spend anymore time on it. I'm not siding with Polanski here, but there is something not right in all of those details and I think there is a larger story about culture in Hollywood and at-large, then and now, that offers more profound lessons. I'm pretty sure I don't have the stomach for it though.
Hmmm, 5-4 now, my boys are battling back.
The Public option is dead? No. The son of medicare is a zombie. It's just hiding in the woods with its hockey mask and axe.
Update: Two, two, two, two. Rats.
