• -Tosses like a girl...
• -it falls short of home plate...
• -Catcher lunges forward but cannot retrieve it.

"Sure, under normal circumstances, people would forget about these small things and focus on the candidate's record, but since Kerry is obviously intent on covering up everything that has happened in his life since 1970, things like bad pitches and strange outfits may be all that voters know about him."

Very good!

A toss well thrown, or a throw well tossed, is always an heartwarming thing. Why, just this morning, when hubby and I got to work, he chucked a nearly empty coffee cup way, way, all the way across the parking lot, woosh, blam, into the dumpster. It was a silly thing, but it was perfect! I gave him a big high five for that one! It might have been a splat, splash, yuck, but it wasn't, it was good for 2!

It might not have mattered at all if he had the ability to say, "Yeah, I really blew that one, didn't I?" and laugh it off, like any normal human being. Instead, he insisted on spewing that nonsense about taking it easy on the poor nervous veteran who was catching. I think that was the far greater gaffe.

I remember someone writing a long time ago about politicians throwing out opening pitches. He said "you'd think all these guys played baseball at some point in their lives, so why are most of them so horrible at a simple 60-foot toss?"

Kerry reminds me of Al Gore....
Here's an oldie but goodie

Issue: What do you think of domed stadiums?

Gore: The design and construction of domed stadiums -- in Seattle (the Kingdome was the first freestanding cement dome ever built), Houston (the Astrodome was the first stadium to use Astroturf) and Minnesota (the Metrodome is the only stadium in the U.S. whose roof is suspended without beams or rods -- it's supported by air pressure), for example, have been feats of architectural and engineering excellence. But the real measure of any stadium, domed or otherwise, is how much fun you have inside.

Bush: I like to go to baseball games outdoors.
