Red Sox win a game

I've been saying it all season, but the "best closer of all time" (Mariano Rivera) is hittable. He used to throw that high fastball that no one could touch, but now he only has one pitch (a ridiculously devastating low inside cut fastball). I was not surprise that the Red Sox scored off him and than won the game, which bring me my next point. Now the Red Sox have hope, they worst thing that could have possible happened. Red Sox fans should have be happy with their quick death, but no, now they think they can win the series. In fact, they might win the next two games, they might even make it to the world series.

"Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

Because now when the Red Sox lose it will be so much worse. A horrible tragedy for a team that brought hope only to get crushed in the end. I wonder if the entire Red Sox organization is just the victims of a 80 year reality show in which they can never win. ]

"Next week on 'Red Sox', see the whole city celebrate only to see the team choke in the last inning on Fox's oldest reality show 'My big fat obnoxious World Series'"

it's subtle. i am probably the only one who has noticed. so far.
you have become secretly obsessed with reality shows. they have invaded your bwain.
you are starting to see all life's events in terms of "what if it was a reality show"? This is an interesting concept and may be true or may be the first step down the road to mental illness....

Free Shakespeare Tickets - Contest #3

My girlfriend and I have two extra tickets to Much Ado About Nothing in the park tonight (Saturday August 7). Since we thought selling free tickets was a little unethical, we decided to have a contest to see who needs them the most. So, if you are interested please go to http://danlipka.blogspot.com/ and post a comment that best describes why you want/need the tickets. The stories can be made up, but you have to specifically say if it is fictional (true stories carry more weight than fiction, but creativity is also a good thing). If you have any questions post them on the blog or email them to me. Tickets can be picked up on the upper east side or by the theater. Contest ends at 6:00 unless something changes, (well maybe at 5:30). Good Luck. 6:14 - It's all over. We have selected and contacted the winners. I’m sorry to all those who weren’t chosen, as you all were deserving of the tickets. To those couples that couldn’t get to go, I say to spend the night together, have a roma

The Constitution and Justice

When the Supreme Court rules, they often struggle to understand the depth and meanings in some of the words or phrases in the Constitution. However, the Founders provided very clear language as to what they were trying to accomplish from a vision standpoint. Although not the law, the Preamble provides critical guidance that should be the first reference for any court ruling. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Specifically, the word "Justice". It is the very first thing they wanted to establish. Justice should be the defining feature of any law, and anything that increase injustice should be unconstitutional. The very first question at any Supreme Court hearing should always be

Lessons from History - Democracy

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" - Winston Churchill I am currently reading biographies on each of the US Presidents. I'm only on Madison, but I've learned some incredible insights into the dysfunctions of our government. Since the Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777, politicians and the wealthy have been constantly undermining justice, equality, and the idea that they should prioritize the good of the nation above all else. The disgraces of current politicians are nothing new and have been part of US political culture since our country's founding. For example, the southern states refused to adopt the constitution unless it counted enslaved people at 3/5 of a person for the purposes of having more ele
