The Yankees v. Red Sox rivalry renews...

A while back I weighed in with my two cents on the controversy surrounding the up-coming first meeting of the NY and Boston teams since the ALCS back in October. Being a NY Mets fan, I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I do have my opinions.

Well, it seems that there are even more folks these days who want the teams to try and make nice on Sunday night.

But Dean Barnett of the Daily Standard makes it clear how he (and probably a lot of Sox fans) feels about the whole thing. You can read it here.

The money quote:

"I'll make a counter-offer: After the Yankees have gone 86 years without a title, then I will whole-heartedly endorse a group hand shake. By my math, that date should arrive in 2086."

Food Fighters of the Left, Unite!

What the hell is up with Liberals these days? First theyÂ’re throwing pies at Bill Kristol, now Pat Buchanan gets splashed with salad dressing. WhatÂ’s next? Pelting with produce?

Do campus security forces have to go through the cooler bags of people attending speeches given by Conservatives, looking for any sign of an edible weapon?

Have Leftists started up a “grocery brigade” in an attempt to silence the first amendment rights of those on the Right?

Conservative speakers be warned! You had better take whatever precautions are necessary to protect yourselves or you might be in danger of being deluged with dairy products!

Friday Morning Link Round-up...

- Michelle Malkin rips Chris Matthews for a stupidly insensitive comment about Terri Shiavo's father.

- Jim Geraghty at TKS @ NRO discusses Powerline's outrage over the Sandy Burglar fiasco:

"Because there were some facts out there that were so damning [to the Clinton administration], Sandy Berger was willing to break the law to make sure the public never saw them."

- The sad state of affairs (and ratings) for "Air America" chronicled over at Considerettes.

- Raven at "And Rightly So!" shares some important points about "living wills" and "powers of attorney", including a link to the different State requirements. Important stuff in light of recent events. Go check it out!

- mASSBACKWARDS shows why I'd really like to move to New Hampshire one day (on top of the fact there is no state income tax or sales tax). For an amount just under the list price of this house, you can by my considerably smaller, three-bedroom house on less than one acre in Southwestern CT. Sigh.

- and lastly, a really good joke over at BMEWS.

A Blogoversary...

Okay, today is two months running since I made my first (rather doofy) post and started this blog.

Two months may not seem like much. It's like when you're dating a girl in high school and she runs up to you in the hallway while you're hanging out with all your buddies and says "Guess what? Today is our two month anniversary!" Which is followed by the collective eye-rolling from the other guys.

But the period between two and three months is like a "Bermuda Triangle" of sorts for bloggers. According to Hugh Hewitt, as many as two-thirds of all blogs that pass through this "dead zone" never make it. They either just freeze in time with no updates or they disappear into the ether and a "404 error" message.

It was also cool that at almost the same time, SiteMeter recorded my 1,000 hit yesterday.

But looking back on the last two months, it's clear to me that the question is not can I keep it going - but rather "can I stop?".
