No uniforms for baseball managers. It becomes a little harder to get into the drama of the NL East race each time Phillies manager Charlie Manuel waddles out to the mound.Neither Simmons nor I agree with Bill Maher on much, but I suppose he's one of the best proofs that some First Amendment rights still exist. Maher is pretty stupid when it comes to policy consequences, but he's so much sharper than the average media head. Simmons ends with this:
No more bullpens emptying during baseball fights. All those relievers do is clutter the field and make it harder for me to see sucker punches and headlocks on YouTube.
Only cities with locals who can play hockey outside in the winter can have an NHL team.
You don't apologize if you haven't done anything wrong.
See, here's the thing: Of all the things currently wrong with this country—a trillion-dollar war, a flagging real estate market, a crippled stock market, high fuel prices, Lynne Spears, the Jonas Brothers—the fact that nearly everyone with a platform is terrified to say anything might be the most depressing subplot of all. Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Hell, whatever happened to speech?
And you wonder why I watch Bill Maher.
