What They're Up To Out There

HEY CBS SPORTSLINE .COM: NEED ANOTHER EDITOR?
"Analysis: When Lee [a pitcher] is locked in and his defense is playing well behind him, he can be one of the best hitters in the American League. Unfortunately, he can get unhinged rather easily sometimes and that is probably due to his still young age."

It seems like 27 has been young for decades now. At least.

(I mean, those Pilgrims kicked it in their 30's.)

AND, IT'S TIME I START CREDITING HIM
So, from News Of The Weird .com, Chuck Shepherd:

"Brian Blair is now a Republican county commissioner in Tampa, Fla., but before that was a professional wrestler for 20 years. He now says it wasn't the dropkicks, pile drivers or neck breakers that ended his career, but rather tripping over a tray of dirty dishes at a Carrabba's Italian Grill in Tampa in 2001, which he said injured his head, shoulder and knee, and his lawsuit is still pending. (His previous lawyers resigned in March.) Blair wrestled for four months after that injury, but said the matches were the less-strenuous "tag-team" contests. Also, hospital records show a blood-alcohol reading of 0.089 90 minutes after the incident, though Blair told the Tampa Tribune he only had a sip. [Tampa Tribune, 3-9-06]"

AND SOME WEEKS, HE'S GOT IT IN SPADES
Really, but here's two more excerpts:

"(2) According to the Hartwell (GA) Sun, state Senator Nancy Schaefer, speaking at an "issues day" event in February, said one reason illegal immigrants find work in the United States was because '50 million' abortions have caused a U.S. labor shortage: "We could have used those people."

And,

"Ms. Zulima Farber became the New Jersey attorney general in January even though her public record shows 13 speeding tickets, three license suspensions, and two bench warrants (for failure to appear in court regarding the tickets). Farber acknowledged 'embarrassment' at the record and joked that it might take 'psychoanalysis' to learn why she did those things. (However, a psychoanalyst interviewed by the New York Daily News rejected the suggestion. Farber, said the doctor, just 'needs a spanking.')"

Come to think of it, I have to go.

It seems I, too, need a spanking.
