Angry White Men

The Republican Party has become the party of angry white men. Any progressive ideas anyone comes up with are met with the same reaction. "No." Don't white men realize they have nothing to be angry about except maybe their inability to deal with the fact that they have nothing to be angry about.

Our president has been in office less than seven months and has been attacked more than any single American president in history. Let the guy govern, let him work, keep him on notice that we're all watching but let him work. Hey just for a brief moment there I think I became an angry white man myself.

Hall of Fame

Had a chance to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York last week. As I was walking through the Babe Ruth exhibit, I heard a young dad explaining to his pre-teen sons that the Bambino was the only "true" home run king. "He hit 60 homers in 1927 and then the "cheaters" broke his record. I had to step in and remind the guy that Roger Maris broke trhe Babe's record in 1961 and was not a cheater. He did have the advantage of a 162 game season to Ruth's 154 game season but he was no cheater.

Soccer

After watching the inaugural season of the Seattle SoundersFC in MLS I've decided to start playing the game myself. Let's face it if my grand parents hadn't imigrated from Italy in the early 1900s I probably would've grown up playing the "World's game" anyway. It's never too late to learn something new. Gotta go practice my headers.
