...they should start by revoking Major League Baseball's antitrust exemption.

Then MLB could be subject to the same laws and rules as every other business entity in the United States.

That would be a good start, but the current gang in Congress isn't too keen on rules or law.

Pity.

Ron Paul hasn't a chance in Hell of getting the nomination, either with or without Fox's help.

He's a conservative, and there is no room for conservatives in the Republican party.

One of Farhad Manjoo's primary criticisms of the iPhone was that, as a telephone, it kind of sucked.

It seems to me that all other praise and criticism of any device would pale next to the assertion that the device performed poorly at its designed task.

Knowing where you are is nice. Surfing the Web from anywhere is nice. But what about the fundamental issue? What sort of improvements has Apple offered that will make it work better as a telephone?

"It took Lincoln three years to find Sherman and Grant. It took George Bush three years to find Petraeus."

The difference, as Podhoretz fails to note is that George W. Bush wasn't supposed to be looking for Sherman, Grant or Petraeus. He's supposed to be looking for Osama bin Laden.

Why is it that God's word consists of things such as condemnation of shellfish eaters, swearing children and homosexuals?

Wouldn't stuff that God really wanted us to know consist of things like "boil pond water before you drink it", "cook meat before you eat it" and "don't eat strange mushrooms that you find in the forest"?

If the Almighty is really interested in saving mankind, wouldn't practical, day to day advice like that be far more practical than telling us that it's important to kill our neighbor if he wears a cotton-wool blend?

"Super" Bowl? This game is a rerun. We saw it three weeks ago.

Just one more reason why interconference or interleague play is a bad idea.

...was marry his pregnant girlfriend. As president, he napped for eight years while his cronies sold arms to enemies and quadrupled the national debt, all while preaching about the evils of big spending.

Reagan's legacy is the current political scene, where the Republicans attract voters by pretending to be all worked up about so-called "moral" issues when their real agenda is the simple unimpeded looting of the federal treasury.

Why would Hillary surrender to Al Qaeda? We're in Iraq fighting Saddam's army and liberating the Iraqi people, aren't we?

...you must first search for him.

They should replace the Roman numerals with a gold old-fashioned date.

In time, someone will have to wax nostalgic about Super Bowl CCCXXXVIII and it's just going to look and sound silly and pretentious.

Never mind. It looks and sounds silly and pretentious now.

Personally I refuse to throw my vote away.

Voting for whom and what you believe in is never a waste.

The only wasted vote is one in which you decide to vote against your conscience for no other reason than to be able to claim that you "voted for the winner."

That is a wasted vote.

I don't understand the effusive praise that everyone, everywhere has for Ronald Reagan. It's almost as if the nation has collectively forgotten his $4 trillion in debt, the 29 convictions of members of his administration, the Iran-Contra scandal for which he should have been impeached, his falling asleep at cabinet meetings, his failure to read briefings, his failure to recognize members of his cabinet when he met them in public and his empty promises of a balanced budget while never actually submitting one.

The guy had a train wreck of a presidency, glowing only in comparison to George W. Bush.

Then again, without Reagan, we never could have had a George W. Bush presidency.

If Mitt Romney doesn't "love Reagan enough", then good for him.

...has clearly been George W. Bush, as he embodies the Reagan administration's policies of corruption and financial ineptitude and/or malfeasance.

So the question now is this: Who is going to claim to be the candidate of even more debt and corruption?

And why would anyone want that title?

There are three things that the Rangers need in order to be competitive:

1. Pitching

2. Pitching

3. Pitching

If you take care of those three things, the winning will take care of itself.

That guy I met 20 years ago who had his entire back covered with a bad likeness of famous-for-a-minute 80's pop singer/Page 3 girl Samantha Fox is probably really tired of answering those "Who is she??" questions about now.

And when the guy I knew who had the cover of the Kiss album Destroyer put on his shoulder blade turns 80 and is sitting in a rocking chair in the old folks home, will he still be thinking "You gotta lose your mind in Detroit....Rock City!"???

Permanent ink is a good thing. It's a flag that identifies for the rest of us those who are best avoided.

Prince Fielder thinks he's worth the same $900,000 that the Phillies gave Ryan Howard last year.

Howard's $900,000 salary was the biggest salary ever given to a player with that amount of service time.

Prince just wants what Ryan Howard got.

Funny thing though - How did Howard react to getting the most money ever for a player with that little experience?

He complained about it.

It's funny how the Right tends to describe the media as "liberal", when in fact, they're seriously right-leaning.

Ron Paul's campaign never got any traction because the Republican-controlled media couldn't bring themselves to print or utter his name.

Kind of ironic, given that he was the only actual conservative among Republican candidates.
