I see it, but I don't believe it

Bosox beat Yankees in Game 7

They came from being down 0-3 to capture the American League pennant in a 4-3 series, not only breaking a record for comebacks but doing it at the expense of their rival (everyone's rival?) NY Yankees. Now they have a chance to win the World Series for the first time in more than 80 years... I can only imagine what azanthia and other Bostonites' commute in this morning is going to look like.

That's baseball, for those playing along at home. ;)

sports vs. arts

Because 40,000 people will go to a losing Royals game but 400 people will go to a Scythian Gold exhibit?

We're just the intellectual elites, man. Nothing to be done for it, but get up on a clocktower and start reading Johnathan Swift in a high-powered voice. ;)

That is the dilemna... in order to get more arts for us foo-foo snobs, we have to keep subsidizing the unmaintained stadiums.

I'm not sure why they buck the business model like that. Part of the money you make is supposed to go to keeping your building in shape. Allowing your plumbing to rot out does not make good business sense UNLESS you are a government-subsidized venue.

Grr. Just grr.

Grr, very grr.

Seriously. Subsidies are the main reason I'm not a flaming, dyed-in-the-wool liberal. I think they're stupid and counter-productive.
