New York Times Well, frumps, on a Sorry Spectacle scale of 1 to 10, Sen. Jim Bunning’s (R-KY) hold-up of the passage of an emergency extension of Unemployment Compensation and COBRA is a chart-buster. I figure one of two things is going on here and both are sad possibilities; either Bunning is indeed suffering from senile dementia, as many have speculated for the past 6 years, or he has just taken a commanding lead in the 2010 Republican Obstruction Derby.

Jim Kaat: Dave Concepcion, Jim Bunning, Jack Morris and the Hall of Fame

Hey Meow Mixer…it might help if you stopped using the O’Connell/Madden/Og approved Elias ####### Sports Bureau. I respect what the print media does and how they have helped publicize the game of baseball. I enjoy blogging on occasion, and don’t have the writing skills they possess.
