Dan Miceli is not Jay Witasick.  Hell, he’s not even Dan Miceli anymore. NOW GET US AN EIGHTH INNING MAN!  Cheap bastard. **** update:  The Zach Day and Eric Byrnes pickups were nice, though.  I’ll give you that much. 

Well, it sure beats the hell out of a Bad News Bears remake…

Well, the armadillo and I are actually kinda busy just now—he’s helping me test out my new “robe of invisibility,” something I made by weaving into simple cotton fiber nanobots programmed to act as millions of rapidly revolving micro-mirrors, creating an “illusion” of empty space—but I suppose he could do both things at once… Okay. Here you go:

One of my favorite libertarian watchdogs, the Cato Institute’s Radley Balko, responds to the Center for Science in the Public Interest’s demand that soda cans feature warning labels cautioning a benighted (and evidently, quite confused) public that soda, consumed in excess, might cause obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, and osteoperosis.  Writes Balko, in his Cato news release: First, the studies CSPI cites in calling for these warnings are far from universally

I hate to say it, but this thing has Karl Rove’s fingerprints all over it.

Sure, we can find and arrest al-Qaeda operatives working out of Iraq.  But how exactly does that help us in the important national security work of rescinding Karl Rove’s security clearance?  WHY ARE WE DIVERTING RESOURCES FROM THE REAL WAR ON TERROR, MR BUSH? Which, it occurs to me I’ve just answered the question I posed here yesterday.  And, y’know, that’s always nice.

For those of you interested in the intricacies of the Rove / Plame pseudo-scandal, Tom Maguire is doing fantastic work deconstructing arguments from both the left and right.  His secret?  Research. There’s a lesson in there somewhere, but I’ll be damned if I can ferret it out. For what it’s worth, my take on this whole affair can be summed up thusly:  I believe whatever Chuck Schumer doesn’t.
