Wherein I sound like a teabagger
atoxique:
I am really surprised, and utterly disappointed, to hear liberals against intervention to help the Libyan people. They have asked for our help. This isn’t Bush’s war. I don’t give a shit if it is illegal. Shame on you for wanting to stand by while people are killed by their own government, just because of a technicality. I hope if our government ever turns on us, other countries...

Instead of one or two sources, now there are hundreds or even thousands, most of whom are unknown or even anonymous. One of the biggest challenges for this kind of...

More Thoughts on Buster Posey
acordova:
We now have more information on the severity of Buster Posey’s injury: fractured left fibula and severely sprained ligaments in his ankle. Posey’s injury will require surgery, and while the team is hesitant to say Posey will miss the remainder of the 2011 season, he will be out for 6-8 weeks, at the very minimum.
