National disgrace?

July 24, 2008

The  Nationals are visiting A T and T Park this week, playing against the Giants who have the worst home record in major league baseball.     And the Giants as of Wednesday have actually won two in a row.  Who says Washington hasn’t done anything for San Francisco lately?

Conservative columnist Robert Novak apparently hit a pedestrian with his car this week.   Presumably it was the pedestrian’s fault,  for walking too far to the left.

In a stunning display of obviousness – – or bad eyesight –  Novak claimed he didn’t even know he had hit the man,  and acccording to Fox News, said he was a block away from the scene of the accident when a bicyclist stopped him to tell him he’d struck someone.  

Which means the scariest afternoon in the planet might be a hunting party with Robert Novak and Dick Cheney.

And the Barack Obama World Tour hits Berlin later this week.  John McCain claimed that the stop was just about publcity, and besides, Obama wasn’t even making time to visit both East and West  Berlin.

The Obamas revealed in an interview that they give their daughters $1.00 allowance a week.  Curiously enough, the same amount the girls will probably get when they are eligible for Social Security.
