Oh, Dear God...

Shorter David Broder and Richard Cohen: "There's nothing more important in today's world than my inane musings on baseball."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Broder, your baseball history is terribly significant, and a Cubs World Series would be about as miraculous as Ronald Reagan's wondrous 1980 election landslide or a Republican comeback in '08.

And sure thing, Cohen, Don DeLillo blew it in leaving you out of Underworld, and the late season collapse of a baseball team is just like the Iraq war fiasco: "Defeat is like a two-way mirror. You cannot see it but it can see you." Effing brilliant...

Now how about rotating your beautiful minds back here to the real world and publishing something I can get my teeth into?
