The other day I noted that New York Times editorialists almost certainly should have a one-keystroke shortcut for typing "tax cuts for the wealthy" into their output.
Today, I think I've got a useful proposed shortcut for our side: "Under a Republican President, this would be a huge scandal." I think that would save a lot of carpal wear.
Improving my good mood: last night's Red Sox game, a thrilling come-from-behind win against Those Other Guys. The Red Sox have beaten Those Other Guys eight straight times so far this season, the first time that's happened since 1912.
(To any reader who might be a fan of Those Other Guys: sorry.)
In addition, Big Papi hit his fourth homer and has yanked up his dismal batting average to (as I type) .203. If the Mighty Ortiz is back, … watch out. (Unpaid ad for Sox Addicts at right; click for their site.)
Rochester (NH) mobile home park hijinks gain the notice of Dave Barry. I can't wait to see how the incident appears in the Rochester Police Log; until then, we'll have to be satisfied with:
Saturday, May 23
6:35 p.m. -- A six-foot tall bald man is running on Ten Rod Road with his pants undone. Police are there in a flash but see nothing.
In case you're wondering: I have an alibi.
I can't resist the obvious: <voice imitation="professor_farnsworth">Good news, everyone!</voice>. New episodes of Futurama are in the works.
