Typical baseball luck, they have a game for the ages, the kind of game that shows off what it is that makes baseball so incredible,yet it's on Halloween night so nobody's watching. Even when something good happens to the game, it gets screwed up anyways. Needless to say, I missed the game. Went to bed the night of Game 6 in '86 and missed that too.

And today's political note is on the supposed FBI Warning about being on High Alert for Terrorist Threats. I really do hope it was based on serious and credible evidence. My theory is that Bin Laden and all his cronies are just sitting around their cave, bored to death because it's not like they can really leave their cave and deciding to have a little fun with us. So one of Bin Laden's flunkies thinks it'll be really fun to watch us squirm, so makes a prank call and then next thing you know, Ashcroft is on tv, with that I'm trying really hard not to look totally overwhelmed and scared look of his, giving us warnings. And meanwhile, they're yucking it up in that cave of theirs, like a bunch of bored teenagers who just phoned in a bomb threat.
