Yea, tho I walk through the valley of Obama
Whoever claims the ‘right’ to ‘redistribute’ the wealth produced by others is claiming the ‘right’ to treat human beings as chattel.

David Price Just Another Decent Lefthander
by Bryce Martin
Tampa Bay lefthander David Price will qualify as a rookie starting the 2009 major league baseball season.
The few innings he pitched during the regular 2008 season did not equal the total number of innings (or days on the roster) to hurt his official rookie status for the upcoming season. It did, however brief it was, let me see what kind of pitcher he is, and will be.
The velocity of his fastball, which is good, is negated by the fact he keeps it up and it is straight -- has no movement. He will be throwing a number of gopher balls. His motion is easy to time for a hitter.
He has been a starter and I see him being used that way. I see him going 7-12 with a 5.84 ERA. A mediocre six or seven year career in the bigs.
Unless, he is switched to the pen and comes up with a devastating out pitch.

O.J. Running Out of Juice
by Bryce Martin
Poor O.J.
He looks so forlorn. His sister weeps at the verdict.
His lawyers speak with scorn in their voices about a jury with a "lynch mob mentality" and one "seeking revenge," in so many words calling it a hatchet job performed on their client.
This pillar of humanity is now physically separated from family and loved ones by virtue of a guilty decision that will likely put him behind bars for many years.
Justice cuts both ways.
I offer that as consolation.
