Scorecard

The Country's going to hell, but Andre Ethier got five hits.

Plotnik opened the Morning Bird Cage this morning and scanned the first page. At the bottom was the article about the government having to take over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to the tune of $10 BILLION!

This is mind-boggling! Our economy is in free fall and John McCain keeps pumping smiles with that one chubby cheek. Will anyone care? The Bird Cage has the story at the bottom corner of Page One, under endless crap about Schwartzenegger's No Budget and Gay Activists and Dead Chimpanzees.

But in the spirit of full disclosure, let's be honest. Plotnik glanced at the headline and immediately grabbed the Sporting Green. The country can collapse but first things have to come first. Five hits! Five RBIs! Guess we all can use some good ol' Republican denial.
