Saturday Quickies
RIP Bonnie Tinker, who followed her family's activist tradition grandly. This is a tad ironic. Meanwhile, "perfect" is a team thing: yesterday's no-hitter (by a 3-8 pitcher) had one glitch: an eighth inning error. And, what GG said -- more "how shocking!" stuff that is far from surprising and only underlines how pathetic things are. Yeah, yeah -- change is slow. Blah blah. And, Obama's role should lead people to say "fu" when he suggests things like this.
