WIth an appy polly loggy to Anthony Burgess ...

This was the quote of the day in our Congressional report today. I have absolutely no idea what the context of it was, but it is nice to have a literate candidate for president.

"Righty right, me malenky droogs. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are all invited. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their faces, with bootsie-woots if thou it suits. One thing I could never stand was to hear a filthy, dirty old partisan bushie, howling away his filthy songs and going blurpy blurp. Naughty, naughty, naughty! You filthy old soomkas!” --Sen Obama (D-IL) telling supporters to “get in the faces” of wavering voters.

(If you don't get it, I suggest you google a phrase like "nadsat glossary.")

Farewell to the Heart of Darkness ...

I should have noted this the other day, but it should be pretty obvious that I am glad that the last game has been played at Yankee Stadium.

Of course, even with a new ballpark, they will still be the Source of All Evil in the Universe.
