I'm not paranoid, they really are coming to get me.

With my youngest brother coming out to visit a few days ago, the three brothers (myself included) were all together again. I bought some tickets to the opening game of the SF Giants v. Texas Rangers interleague series. The park is great, the weather stayed cool but comfortable after the sun dropped down and the game, minus terrible oficiating, was fun.
Ex-Yankee skipper, Buck Showalter's Texas Rangers were getting the short end of the umpire's stick, and after Michael Young was tossed out of the game for throwing his helmet after a poorly called strike three, Buck came out, got himself between the indignant Young and proceeded to argue with the home plate ump.

Excuse me Sir.
Would you know how to get to the post-office?
Turn left at the Townhall?

And then the Umpire tossed Buck from the game and he had this to say:

Being a world-class lip-reader, I was able to make out this phrase from the Buckster:
"I think you and I will have to agree to disagree. Good day Sir!"

This may be one of the more the iditotic article/interviews from a "specialist" in a long time. What makes this Man a "specialist" is that he is the Editor of a Men's Health magazine.
This is sort of like calling Jerry Bruckheimer an "explosives expert."

Part of their master plan?

It turns out our country suffers from Narcissistic personality disorder.
