A quick trip to Villa Incognito…

“The true believer can believe in a political system, in a religious doctrine, or in a social movement that combines elements of the two, but the true believer cannot truly believe in life.

A true believer may worship Jehovah, Allah, or Brahma, the supernatural beings who allegedly created all life; a true believer may slavishly adhere to a dogma designed theoretically to improve life; yet for life itself – its pleasures, wonders and delights – he or she holds minimal regard.

Music, chess, wine, card games, attractive clothing, dancing, kites, perfume, marijuana, flirting, soccer, cheeseburgers, any expression of beauty, and any recognition of genius, or individual excellence: each of these things has been severely condemned and even outlawed by one cadre of true believers or another in modern time.”

Good to know?

It's a slow sports day when the newspapers, blogs, and talking head are fascinated with the 4,300 calls and texts that Bobby Petrino sent to his clandestine honey. How exciting to learn how many texts and calls were from his hospital bed! Oh, oh... why one call was reported to be 22 minutes long. Well, isn't that special.

What's is really disturbing, Sarah Palin may have stumbled into the truth. There may, in fact, be a "lamestream" media. In the sports page.

An Apology

Ozzie's emotional apology has moved me to offer one of my own. I have referred to Curt Schilling as an ass in several posts. Sorry, Curt. With Bobby Valentine available I did a disservice naming you.
