You Can't handle the Truth...

Baseball is America.   The ultimate metaphor.  This weekend's A-ROD  story has nothing to do with steroids or cheating.  It has everything to do with the fact that we don't want to talk about reality. The truth.  We love playing osterisch.  From our economic crisis to deifying our heroes...we like it drunk, messy and askew.  It's all a comic tragedy really.  Reminds me of 2 great scenes from 2 great movies.

1.) Tell me Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson) is not Bud Selig?  I love this scene from "A Few Good Men".

2.) When President Muffley (USA PRESIDENT, played by Peter Sellers) calls the Russian President in Kubrick's classic "Dr. Strangelove".  Tragic...but so polite.
