What’s So Special About a Team of Rivals?
What’s the Value of a Big Bonus?
What’s the Point of Daylight Time?
The black-white Oughts (both George W. Bush’s us-versus-them and the opposition’s are-you-f-ing-kidding-me response to it) will give way to a decade of contrarianism, where everything you know is wrong (and in [...]

Maybe Major League Baseball agreeing to push back the start of the notional Game 6 of the World Series so that Obama’s 30 minute feature won’t conflict with it? (h/t Atrios)
