Get Cynical

President "Bring them on" Bush is saying that the attacks
going on in Iraq are a sign of how much progress
we are making in Iraq.

It doesn’t look like desperation to me. The brazen attack on the hotel
this weekend where Wolfowitz was staying looks more like a statement.
The scary part is that I am beginning to think that Bush is buying into
his own lies now. It happens. You start repeating a line and after enough
time you start to buy into it yourself.

Red Sox management formally declined to renew Grady Little’s contract
yesterday. I think it was really the only move that they could have
made. It would have been difficult to sell him as their manager for
the next few years after what happened in Game 7 of this year’s ALCS.
Some people think that he shouldn’t have been judged by that one decision.
I think he botched alot of decisions through the season and playoffs.
The decision he made to keep Pedro Martinez out on the mound when he
was obviously exhausted was simply one of the worst decisions ever made
in professional sports. Careers are made and destroyed on the basis
of KEY decisions. He had to go.
