Steve, I know what you mean about your vote not counting due to the Electoral College, but here in Florida we are a swing state and I promise you a vote for Obama. Working in academia, I agree that we should be looking to put the best and brightest in the White House. We should be celebrating the "elite," not turning the word into a pejorative as conservatives have. That having been said, a top-notch intellect is no guarantee of a successful presidency. Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter were among our brightest presidents, but neither one was very successful in the Oval Office.

The best baseball movie ever! About 15 years ago, I was in Iowa and got a chance to visit the movie set. It is maintained for tourists. You can actually walk through the corn onto the field and play catch.

I love your idea of reducing the salaries of athletes by 90%. I would have thought that would be impossible because it would be subject to collective bargaining, but since you were a judge, you know better and obviously it is kosher.
Well 1200 pages would explain your 4 day absence from this blog. I was beginning to get worried and was about to contact the lead detective in the Missing Persons Bureau of the Glendale Police Dept.!

I've had a few cars I wanted to do that to.

Wow, this tournament was on head-to-head with the College World Series elimination game between MIAMI and fsu. You sure have strange priorities.
"During the next several hours, while I ran through his docket, I managed to deface each and every Gator logo."
Cool, I would have done the same thing.
As with almost all chain emails, this one is not fully factual. https://www.snopes.com/glurge/twoquestions.asp
The question is, how many of them will you find in the Glendale public library?
"I read Spock too." And exactly what, pray tell, did you expect to learn about parenting from Star Trek?
