Ah, spam. I'm still not exactly sure how my primary email account got on so many spam lists, but I will probably need to change it soon. Though, I don't know if I can blame the spammers as much as the people who honestly buy these things and keep them in business. I would gladly run either party down with a lawn mower though, to protect the gene pool. Our little swimmers are in danger out there from people who'd actually buy viagra from a guy named hec88anctr.

Baseball season starts today. I'm not sure if I'm excited or not... don't get me wrong, I love baseball. I love going to games. I love watching a good, long, methodical game. I don't mind watching a pitcher go deep, control the plate, and all those other "anti-climactic" things that drive people away. After all, if you don't like it, that's why beer is served at the parks.

But there's just so much negativity surrounding it. I can't watch ESPN any more because I quite frankly don't
care if some star or another is juicing. I mean, you see Barry Bonds, and there wasn't a baseball fan out there who didn't think "well fucking duh" when they said he used steroids. Seriously. Big Mac used over-the counter andro? Say it ain't so! Jose Conseco is a tool? Holy crap!

A pitcher said it best... it's just another brand of cheating out there (except the Mac thing, that was allowed). It's not as widespread as people thing, same as school shootings aren't happening every single day (they were more common at the beginning of the 20th century than in the 21st) and Al-Quidea isn't likely to kill you with mutant anthrax any time soon (you're actually more likely to die because of a wild deer while in your car than to ever meet a terrorist).

Congress gets involved... which is obviously such a good idea, because that group of idiots have the war; Bush's obvious abuses of the constitution, common sense, and morality; the budget; and so many other things in line. Yeah, that's right, go police baseball. Most days, I think our country would be better if they left a two-week old waffle in charge.

Mmmm.... waffles...
