    Well, America’s most overrated poet (and I live in the next town over from Amherst). Robert Frost says “Hold my beer!”

    Why should they bother, Drbee? The standard right-wing tactic of lying their heads off, at the top of their voices, has worked pretty well for them in recent years. Invective, hatred, deflection and insult is GOP SOP.

    Not just Izzy’s country, and nothing new. In 1981, I took a year off of college to work at the local nuclear power plant. The Laborers’ Union there had a waiting list in the hundreds, and started at $17/hour, which was d@mn good money for unskilled labor back then. You’d see ten laborers at once around a task. Two would work for a half hour, then would trade out for the next two, while everyone else sat around drinking coffee and chatting. The shop steward hinted I could jump the queue and get into the action, but idiot me had to go back to college.

    (shrugs) What an amazing notion, players improve. Completion percentages that would get quarterbacks in the Pro Bowl 50 years ago get them benched now. Take the first post-merger season; John Brodie in 1970 was the consensus MVP with a 59.0 completion percentage, leading the league with 24 TD passes and 223 completions.
