Isn't there an article of the Constitution that has to do with retribution for bad calls at sporting events? I'm pretty sure the Founding Fathers covered this one.

Warren,

You are correct,

it's in the same article that established the Designated Hitter rule for the American League, fake grass, and domed baseball stadiums. Although, living in Houston, I'm going to look the other way on that last one.

RTR,

Warren,

Can you teach me how to get paid for writing this stuff? Is there a book called "Jobs for People that Think They are Clever, but Aren't Really Sure".

I think it's called blogging and from what i can tell it doesn't pay a thing unless you're Jason Calacanis....

Not to be picayune, but this yahoo is a MISSOURI lawmaker...Kansas takes alot of crap for alot of things, but on this one IT WASN'T US! REALLY!

I'm just glad to see that even when we are at our lowest (Evolution Debate, GQ article on our AG, etc.), Missouri finds a way to get under us.

And thanks for the book inscriptions for my wedding Warren.
