Afternoon Baseball

Common-sense ruminations on baseball and culture.


Since I do follow politics, but I'm not going to disrupt my baseball/music/random facts tradition here, this is all I have on the filibuster deal.
If you want to read real news, such as the World Economic Forum conference with an amazing array of Iraqi speakers speaking about the very real and very tenuous political and economic situation of their country, as discussed by Jay Nordlinger of NRO.

All sorts of links...


In no particular order...

Democrat online legend Kos is realistically optimistic, while
Josh Marshall sounds the same note

Marylander David Wissing
calls it a "semi-victory" for Republicans
PoliPundit says "complete victory" for Republicans
But the right-wing Powerline is "deeply disappointed."
T.A. Frank at The New Republic online wishes for the resurrection of true opposition in the form of the Whigs (RIP 1856).
James Dobson
took a break from praying to God to spite gays to announce his outrage
The libertarian Lew Rockwell blog says this is confirmation of the one-party state.
And finally, the world-famous Instapundit delivers more links and a shrug
