A Baseball Theory

by Smitty Baseball Crank has a post entitled “BASEBALL: Year of the Slightly Better Pitcher” While out in Idaho, we grilled some steaks. A rancher friend was over, and I alluded to the stolen third perfect game of the year. Out of nowhere, the fellow outs himself as a tremendous baseball fan, praising it as […]

Flight Made (Grand) Junction Re-direct Adroitly

by Smitty Catching up on the usual chores. I’m in Idaho, visiting family, having been delayed due to Heap Big Winds around Denver. United Airlines did a fine job of managing safety and timeliness. We can all gripe about being herded about, but being alive to do the griping is the main feature.

Dan Riehl: Yes And Yes

by Smitty UPDATE: minor grammatical edit. Dan Riehl says that ‘Smitty Is Short-Sighted And Confused‘. It is true that I am myopic, and, yes, his muddled point did throw me. If I meant the GOP, I would have written it. The Right is a very different thing. OK, fine. I suppose, given the following fragments […]

The GOP

by Smitty Dan Riehl seems concerned about the viability of Twitter as a communications channel this Fall, and especially in the 2012 contest. There is a saying among SpecOps guys: ‘Two is one and one is none.’ Going into the 2010 and 2012 contests without a multi-channel comms plan for GOTV efforts will be roughly […]
