BAGS OF MONEY! It works every time….and don’t act so surprised US. Karsia confirmed that not only have we known all along that he takes bags of money from Iran, but Washington also gives him bags of cash.

Single issue voters have always stuck in my craw. Agreeing with them on one issue gives pols license to do whatever the eff they want without consequence.

I always liked former New York City mayor Ed Koch’s take on single issue voters. he’d say “If you agree with me on 9 out of 12 issues, you should vote for me, If you agree with me on 12 out of 12 issues, you should see a psychiatrist.”

Jimmy McMillan is the ultimate one issue candidate and he’s not afraid to where it on his sleeve. He’s running for Governor of New York and has formed The Rent Is Too Damn High Party.

Ball point pen on todays newsprint

At 38 years old the veteran left hander was the model of efficiency last night. He threw 88 pitches, giving up 5 hits and 2 earned runs. He walked 1 and struck out 4 in his 7 innings of work. While it wasn’t a no hitter, it was good enough to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead in the division series with Minnesota.

The Phillies took the opening game of the national league division series on the strength of Roy Hallaway’s right arm. Halladay pitched the second no-hitter in post season history, coming within one batter of a perfect game by allowing one base on balls. Don Larsen was the only other pitcher to accomplish the great feat when he threw a perfect game in the 5th game of the 1956 World Series.
