New column here.
Everything you need to know is in the title. ;)
For the record, Billy, the best part of Field of Dreams is actually when the little girl chokes on a hot dog. I’m also evil, though, so there’s a degree of bias at hand.

Fuck, wrong topic for this forum.
What I meant to post was, “Baseball, men, baseball, men, America, men, baseball, God.”
Now the comments should roll in.

Have no fear, Jon. I’m back from Vegas, and the granddaughters are leaving tomorrow….
The discourse in this blog is once again going to hit 10 on the Excite-o-meter!!!
Bwah-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha.

PS–Go with Teach for America. Whatever your reasons, you’ll be glad you did.

Yep, Jon, you’re right. Honestly though if I had the time right now I’d read the column and respond.
Sorry for the long hiatus. I’m unpredictable when it comes to this thing…or I’ll be posting when Muslims really piss me off.
Can we fly our entire Air Force over Iran and drop the maximum possible explosive payload? Please?

Tit for tat, Chuck. US grabs Iranian diplomats in area of Iraq with minimal terrorism, Iran grabs allied troops just over border.
Besides, as far as I know, the Iranians are in the process of releasing the Brits while chiding the Allies from an apparent position of moral superiority.
Good theatre–they’ve got some smart cookies.

Wait, Chuck, what am I right about? I’m confused. About baseball and the power of great men or about the little girl almost choking to death being the most amazing part of Field of Dreams? Please tell me it’s all of the above.
You and I have a creepy ideological alliance when it comes to our discomfort with radical Islam.

Few things nobody will read because there are new posts…
1) Tit for tat, tet? Ha… You’re right though – the Iranians have some smart people runnin’ that little show over there…or maybe the UK just has some really weak-minded soldiers…
2) You’re right that baseball and manly man topics will bring in lots of posts.
3) It’s not creepy at all, Montieth. If anybody should hate radical Islam, it’s American liberals. I may disagree with gay marriage but I don’t mind debating it – I’m not looking to stone you to death. You and every other lib (esp. gay libs) needs to read “While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Taking over the West” by Bruce Bawer. Pick it up and you’ll see why.
