random thoughts on the day
Daniel Murphy might be a good outfielder some day for the Mets, but my guess is that it won’t be any time soon. I have zero confidence in the Mets’ starting rotation, with one notable exception. ESPN baseball commentators try too hard to fill dead air by telling us useless information and heaping effusive praise [...]
down go the yankees
Well…at least they have that gorgeous new ballpark. Today makes two days their starting rotation has been torched for many runs, and it’s only April! I feel safe in predicting today’s loss to the Indians, even though the game’s still in progress. Not even the Indians could blow a 20-2 lead in the 6th inning. [...]
happy jackie robinson day!
Well…at least it was around the world of MLB. For the rest of the country, the discussion was about tea parties and the annual rite of passage for taxpaying citizens to fund wasteful government programs for all Americans.

more taxing problems
Doesn’t President Obama know any person qualified to serve in his administration who has figured out how to file his or her income tax returns? Next time he might want to add a few questions and inquiries to his vetting process. At the very least, he should hire a competent accountant for his Cabinet members.
just let them fail already
Enough is enough. We need to stop investing taxpayer money in failed businesses. AIG has had way too much of the government pie already. Stop the insanity. No more money for AIG.
reason reviews the “stimulus”
From Reason mag’s original analysis by Veronique de Rugy: There are many more bad policies and spending decisions in the Senate stimulus bill, but even a cursory glance at the parts outlined above give a good sense of the overall legislation—and what is likely to be signed into law by President Obama. And here is [...]

67% Say They Could Do A Better Job On The Economy Than Congress, and 44% believe that “a group of people selected at random from the phone book would do a better job addressing the nation’s problems than the current Congress”, according to the latest Rasmussen poll. I suppose you can make polls say whatever [...]
