Did you see the Cubs ace pitcher Zambrano give up 5 home runs in 4 innings and then start throwing at the Braves star hitter Chipper Jones?

The ejection by the ump lead to his clearing out his locker and leaving Atlanta Stadium before the Cubs could finish the game, telling people that he was quitting baseball.

These are fierce times we are living in.; 8/12/11, 11:39 PM

Zoning? Has anyone here heard of zoning?; 8/13/11, 12:03 AM

For the longest time my own little mondegreen for that song was "Bringing in the sheeps". Which didn't made good sense for a couple of reasons but had to do.; 8/13/11, 12:45 AM

Why will this happen? So simple that a third-grader can answer. Does the GOP have vision? Does the GOP have diversity? Does the GOP have deliverables? Does the GOP have supporters in the NYT, PBS, NPR? Etc. The answer is NO. Thus, why should voters vote for them? GOP will lose nationwide. A beating that even Mondale would be ashamed.; 8/13/11, 8:50 AM

I think you're partially correct.

Similar, though, when Teddy Roosevelt took on the seated Taft ... And, Teddy ran as a Bull Moose.

Republicans that year came in 3rd.

Woodrow Wilson came in First.

And, Teddy Roosevelt almost made it ... but he came in 2nd.

In 2012, I think Biden's gonna go. Because it's one of those "toss up" things ... where Obama will want to tear off Florida from Toss Up to WIN.

What's blue won't provide a veep slot. (Stephen Green at VodkaPundit has already preapred an electoral college map we can watch.)

Worst case scenario: 2000 ... all over again ... With Florida's votes in question.

But I also see TRUMP & PALIN

PALIN & TRUMP ... EUMP "O"

Name that party? Easy Peasy. ONE NATION; 8/13/11, 11:44 AM

If Merkel's tossed from her partialmentary chair by Germans ... Europe will discover BORDERS. Money won't be "the Euro" ... unless it's in the PIIGS. And, the french will consider "white paper" as their currency. One side will be tacky ... so you can paste a piece on your forehead as you run forward, yelling that you SURRENDER!

Belgium will be turned into a country of garden gnomes.

And, Oslo won't be any safer.; 8/13/11, 11:48 AM
