(Set to Death Cab for Cutie's "Cath...")
Matt... he stands
With his suitcase in hand
And he can't relax
With his hand on the small of his bat
As the flash bulbs burst
He holds a smile
Like someone who won't
Be in Denver for a while
So everybody will ask
What became of you
Cause the Rockies ran out of cash
And they didn't know what to do
Matt... it seems
That you brought us
All our wildest dreams
With a hand-me-down roster mess
Where any All-Star Could have been so depressed
But you slid face-first
And Coors Field roared
Now we don't even know
Who you've been traded for
So everybody will ask
What became of you
Cause the Rockies owners are trash
And you didn't know what to do
The whispers that it wouldn't last
Turned out to be quite true
But if our title hopes were dying that fast
We might have done the same as you
We'd have done the same as you.
Thanks, Matt Holliday.
What...am I taking this too serious??

Progress in Regress
Wasn't the Democratic Party supposed to be the party of tolerance? The party without racism? The party of togetherness?
Early in this presidential campaign, it was often predicted (usually by Democratic talking-heads) that Republicans would use racist and sexist tactics to win the White House over Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
There is no doubt in my mind that some Republicans will, indeed, use those tactics come the general election.
But the Democrats themselves have already kick-started this immature, unproductive and shallow politics.
Former congresswoman Geraldine A. Ferraro's comments about Obama are not only borderline racist (and sexist), they are just down-right stupid:
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," Ferraro said. "And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept. "
The only winner in this? John McCain.
As the Arizona senator sits in his couch tonight, he can rest assured Barack Obama is taking plenty hits without his involvement.
Sen. Hillary Clinton and some of her supporters are doing his work for him.
It's been said that the Democratic party is the only party that can snag defeat from the jaws of victory.
These kinds of attacks do nothing for the party, nothing for the candidates' reputation, and nothing for the future of this country.
So much for the party of progress.
