I'll take my ball and go hooooooooooome!!

The next time some Republican starts bitching at me about how liberals are whiny crybabies, I'm going to throw this in their face:

Republican congressmen threaten to take away baseball's antitrust exemption if George Soros buys the Nationals

On that note, my plans for the night are either to let my boyfriend take me out to dinner or to play the NBA Draft Drinking Game so thoughtfully provided by ESPN:

Cliché (No. of sips)
"Upside" (1)
"The next..." (1)
"Best player available" (1)
"Need pick" (1)
"On the clock" (1)
"On the board" (1)
"Intangibles" (1)
"Tweener" (1)
"Sleeper" (-1)
"Athletic"/"Ath-a-letic" (2)
"Length" (2)
"Should've stayed at..." (3) "Needs to hit weights" (2)
"Weight problem" (3)
"Good character" (3)
"Questionable character" (-3)
Any Euro-bashing (5)
Any Duke-bashing (8)
"But I could be wrong" (10)

heh, personally I believe they should end the exemption for MLB, but that has nothing to do with Soros. Competition is always good in my head :)

They should've added one for UNC/Roy Williams bashing, since that's all that I've heard on talk-radio since those guys won the fucking championship.

You can. not. play that drinking game. You will not last past the lottery, and may expire.

*waves*

Hey, it was nice seeing you earlier today. Just wanted to apologize for how distracted I seemed; spent too much time this morning alone with a box full of depressing condolence letters to a bishop's wife. (Also, after you left I felt like an asshole for not inviting you in to sit down. My work area is completely surrounded with boxes and carts, and there's barely enough room for me to get to my desk these days.)

But anyway. I spend too much time alone in special collections. Visitors are good. :)

Hope you survive the drinking game, if you decide to play...

Was I the only one who was seriously surprised that Linas Kleiza from Missouri went in the first round? I've seen him play over the last two years, and frankly, I wasn't that impressed.
