The struggling Chicago Cubs won two out of three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers this week but not without cheating.  Dodgers third-baseman Casey Blake complained to an official but no action was taken.   ”I know the guy doesn’t have the fastest fastball and he’s trying to get any edge he can, but the guy is just cheating,” said Blake.

The controversy erupted after Cubs starting pitcher, Ted Lilly, threw several pitches from in front of the rubber.  After the game the Cubs pitcher admitted to cheating, stating “There were a couple times I would get it and throw it. I think I was a little bit ahead of the rubber…. I was just trying to get good footing.”

So there we have it, more disgrace upon Chicago baseball.

The Anti-Planner, like Savoir-Faire, is everywhere! VREG, however, is local.  Keep up the good work!

I thought for sure that our resident paleos would be throwing a Rand Paul party today.  What happened?  Is Paul a serious contender in November?  What say you Kentucky Colonels and/or average citizens: Can Paul beat Jack Conway?

It is no secret that California is in dire straits (not the band, that would at least be cool) but this little bit of Reason demonstrates that it is the Greece of the United States.  Enjoy (if you are a Texan).

These bay area boys were ejected from school because they were wearing clothing that sported an American flag on Cinco de Mayo.  This is a clear violation of the students’ civil rights.  I hope a law suit is pending against the teachers and administrators involved in this outrageous assault on free speech.

Also troubling is that the nit-wit students claim to be offended by the American flag.  THIS IS AMERICA, NOT MEXICO.  If you find Old Glory offensive, you may leave.  I may even help you pack.  I just don’t understand: On St. Patrick’s day the Republic of Ireland flag is flown alongside Old Glory.  On Oktoberfest, the same thing.

The reporter’s grab line under the title reads: “Freedom of expression or cultural disrespect on Cinco de Mayo?”  What a dolt.  The First Amendment right to free speech definitely covers the right to disrespect another culture.  Even so, how is wearing our nation’s flag disrespectful to any other culture?  Forcing the removal of OUR flag in OUR country by those obviously loyal to another nation… now THAT is disrespectful.  Illegal immigrants that take an education for free, health care for free, services for free while citizens and legal immigrants pay the bills, is disrespectful.  Don’t tell us we can’t wave our flag in our land.  Them is fightin’ words.

I am tired of the “ugly American” label.  It seems clear, at least in this case, the more apropos statement is “ugly Mexicans.”
