Enough about penii

First, true to my heart, David Aldridge protests against all the shit the NBA takes. While sportwriters tear up with nostalgia about baseball and try to glorify gridiron parity, they constantly pooh-pooh on the NBA because teams actually play defense now, unlike in the '70s. Sure the NBA's talent pool is slightly diluted, but that's improving. Sure the shooting could be better. Yeah, some teams are awful. But I can't think of a season when there were so many heavily loaded teams and so many young, exciting players to watch. I guess I just don't get why everyone talks about the NBA collectively, whereas they hero-worship the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry instead of talking about how boring and overpriced baseball's regular season is. Okay, this has gone on longer than I intended.

Oh, but did anyone see Manu Ginobili bringing the lasagna tonight? Against the Bulls, yes, but, this is the kind of easy trip they needed to get them jump started.

One last little bit. I really, really try to ignore William Safire, but look at this closing line: "Thus, envision this G.O.P. whispering campaign soon directed to women, liberals and the legions of centrist, semi-hawkish, non-angry Democrats: If you want the Clinton Restoration to the White House in '08, the only way to make it happen is to stay the course with Bush in '04." Jesus Christ, why can't conservatives let Hillary go. We don't want her as president. We don't want her to run for president. I realize he's saying this tongue in cheek, but it's so fucking stupid that it's not even funny. This is really all we think about, us moderate lefties: how soon can we have a Clinton — any Clinton — back?!? Really, though, it's that "non-angry" jab. What a fucking fuck.
