Why sell something that's already done, when you could get them on the road to sell $15 min wage, single-payer health care, student & medical debt cancellation, an end to Afghan & Iraq wars, & a new infrastructure program. Unless you don't really want to do any of these things? — PolitiTweet.org

On the other hand, the spectacle of a county sheriff smugly explaining away the murders of 6 Asian women as the impulsive action of a sexually frustrated young man who, after a bad day, just snapped is pretty repugnant. — PolitiTweet.org

I like the idea of umpires. They add another existential layer to the game: grievance, favoritism & human error. One of my most treasured moments was being invited by Joe Brinkman to help rub down baseballs w/ Delaware River mud before a game at Riverfront. What bot will do that? — PolitiTweet.org

Jeffrey St. Clair @JSCCounterPunch

Umpires are essential to the drama of baseball, enlivening what otherwise be dull evenings. Meltdowns by Brett, Whitey Herzog, Bobby Cox, Weaver, Robbie Alomar, are some of my most vivid memories of the game. We've already surrendered too much of our lives to the rule of machines — PolitiTweet.org
