1. Hilarious.

Free Republic sure does have a canny knack for the totally inapt metaphor.

3. I love this one: "Boston sold out every game this year and it's fans

support the team through tickets, concessions and through watching them on cable tv. But, we wind up having to pay revenue sharing every year to teams like Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and Kansas City.

Liberalism at its finest"

4. Usually at about this point I'd trot out

a list of informal fallacies committed (shoot me, I'm an argument wonk), but since it's Free Republic and it's so transparently silly, it's just not even worth it this time.

2. I see, so they equate PEOPLE with MONEY. Nice perspective

on their mentality eh?

Ah well, the Sox 86'ed the curse, and Kerry will 86 the blow monkey's regime.

5. In all fareness I've had Sox fans send me e-mails about the Yankees like

this - except without the politicaal overtones. Its the comments that crack me up!

6. Can you cut and paste some of the comments?

I refuse to visit that shithole.

7. OK

"Boston politicians have inherited the Curse of the Bambino. May Kerry and Kennedy take it to the grave.

"Not even a piece like this can dampen the joy of Red Sox fans this morning"

But JFake will do his best to do that:
He'll misquote the score,
He'll misname the winning pitcher,
He'll swear that the memory of being right there at Fenway (or was it at Lambert) to watch them win is seared in his brain.

btw, congrats to the Sox and their fans.

This one's the best
"The spirit of Babe Ruth was channeled last night, and here is what the Bambino had to say:

Oracle:Are you there Babe? Can you hear us?!

Ghostly Voice:Yesssss I can heeeaaar youuuuuu

Oracle:Why have you lifted the curse upon the Red Sox Babe?

Ghostly Voice:So they can lift the OTHER curse that is upon them!

Oracle:What OTHER curse? Is there another?

Ghostly Voice:Yesssss...it is a spirit of lies, deceit and betrayal named JOHN KERRY! It MUST be exorcised from public life!

Oracle:Say what? Is this really Babe Ruth?

Ghostly Voice:Of COURSE it's me...now honor the Red Sox, and vote for GEORGE W. BUSH!

Oracle:Funny, you sound a little like Karl Rove...

Ghostly Voice:Noooo it's not me! (heh! heh! did you hear that Mitt? They know my voice that good up here?)

9. They have no joy.

Pitiful, isn't it?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

10. It's actually mental illness

not being able to find joy in things. They seem to find joy in things that hurt others-it's sad.
