Cartoons And Headlines
This may be the best set of "pictures" I've seen in this weekly installment over at PowerLine. I can't even go through all the pictures. I had to stop at #5 or #6 -- they are simply so good I don't want to simply scrolls through them. I want to go through them slowly, savoring them all.
Headlines that caught my attention today:
Does anyone else see the problem in the weather map above?
As a lifelong baseball fan, both the sport and the movie, Having the players come onto filed through the corn field was a magical moment, and a brilliant PR move by whoever figured that out.
ReplyDeleteTurned out to be a pretty good game with a classic ending.
Agree completely: brilliant, magical.
DeleteAlthough I didn't watch it, except for a few minutes here and there, I was more than impressed. In addition to everything else, lots of run -- the crowd would have loved it.
My brother-in-law mentioned that NY Yankees came back in the ninth to take the lead but fell short in the bottom of the ninth. I assume that's the "classic ending." If so, that would have been incredibly exciting -- and nice it didn't go extra innings and make it a night too late for the kids.
