At Coors Field
The players look like ants, but it’s a beautiful view of the Denver skyline! 🙂 0-0 through four innings. Chacin holding his own against Lester so far. UPDATE: Rockies win, 2-1.

NPR’s Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me! has the answer. Fast forward to 5:50 in the clip below, then “wait wait” for the punch line at around the 7:10 mark. Heh. I’m not always a huge fan of Wait Wait, but that one made me laugh out loud in my car yesterday. UPDATE: And, speaking of vuvuzelas, here’s the trailer for… Read more »

Although I don’t find much value in his overarching thesis that Barack Obama is just like Vladimir Putin, except less effective at being a thug, Michael Barone makes some concerning points about the oil spill response. I’d love to hear convincing rebuttals, if they exist. Barone: Obama’s decision to impose a six-month moratorium on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf…penalizes… Read more »
