* There was regular season game in the major leagues a few months ago that I won’t forget even if I live to be a thousand years old. If I remember right, it was involving two NL West teams. In the latter innings, some bench-clearing brawl broke out, and I think it started because of a wild pitch hitting a batter. Both dugouts cleared out, and the locus of the actual combatants was just off the mound in the direction of first base. Not only did both dugouts clear out, but the only pitcher throwing in the bullpen thought it was necessary to make his way towards the fight. This reliever, don’t remember his name, was (and presumably still is) overweight and out of shape. So while he was running from the bullpen toward the fight, you could see his blubber jigging and him getting out of breath and running slower and slower the closer he got to the fight. Now, I thought to myself, what did he think he was doing? What did he think his fat ass would be able to accomplish in the fight? First off, he was running so slowly, and like I said, got even slower the closer he got, he might have never actually gotten there, a la Zeno’s Dichotomy Paradox. Even if he did make it, it would have taken him so long that the fight would have been over by then. And even if the fight was still going on, he would have been so tired and out of breath that he would have been useless in it. And God forbid that his team would need him to pitch — I figure they needed him because he was throwing in the pen. Of course, this fat fuck was probably only ever used for middle inning garbage time, so it wouldn’t have mattered to the outcome of the game anyway.
I remember this not because I was watching this game, but ESPN ran with it over and over for much of that night and the next morning.
The reason I’m bringing it up in my election news stack of stuff is that this blubberfuck comes to mind when I read today that John McCain is going to Nevada to campaign for Sharron Angle. Rush thinks that this is a clue that Angle has this election in the bag, that McCain is only going there so that he can claim credit, (which the media will of course give him), for her victory. (Couldn’t have said it better myself, Rush.) As for me, I remember the last time John McCain was on a statewide ballot in Nevada, that being just about two years ago. And he lost by a dozen points.
* UK Telegraph profiles Anh “Joseph” Cao and his Democrat opponent. LA-2, mostly New Orleans, will be the only House district to flip from R to D on Tuesday. Then again, what the Telegraph fails to mention is that Cao or any Republican, liberal or otherwise, holding this seat, is a 100% pure accident. Mainly because the election process in 2008 was timed perfectly with the fall of William “Cold Cash” Jefferson.
* Keep taking, Quanell X. Every time you open your mouth to say two words, that’s four fewer whites that give up on the Democrat Party forever.
