Tom Scocca: "I Know Why I Cheer for a Birther Moron, But Why Does ESPN Cheer for Him?" This is an excellent essay. I hate when sports media call right-wing athletes "challenging" or "controversial," when what they usually are is stone ignorant, just like this guy Luke Scott.[More:] Charlie Pierce (one of my favorite panelists on NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me), meanwhile, refuses to buy Scott's story that he "would have been a Marine sniper" if he just hadn't been so damn good at baseball. (both links via)
Ha, I posted that to my facebook earlier today. Luke Scott is an ignorant jackass and he's not even that good a player.

Is you "I Know Why..." link a larger font for anyone else?

I have made the cognitive decision to like this post.

(typeface size is all the same for me)

It's larger for me too. BP used the 'strong' tag.

Ahh... Love BoPo, hate the bigger font.

Oh, weird, it's just showing as bold-face in my browser (Chrome)... I'll pull out the strong tag right now. I didn't know it would cause that. Apologies!

I'll bet he watches Eastbound and Down as a how-to manual.

(Seriously, if you haven't watched Eastbound and Down, it is a thing of... well, it is a joy forever.)

OK so fine, he hit a two-run dinger for us tonight. But he's still a jackass
