Babe Ruth Replacement Player

Some of the guys playing slow-pitch softball for Edna’s Bar & Grill may be heading for tryout camps. Hold ’em and they will come. The Blue Jays reportedly held three camps, saw more than 600 players, signed one – a pitcher whose Northern League ERA last year was a comical 7.71. Imagine watching has-beens and never-will-bes without even the consolation of cold beer. Will unionized truckdrivers deliver the beer to games played by strikebreakers?...

Back To The Bad Old Days

The timing of the blast pointed investigators in the direction of Colombia’s notorious narcotraficantes. The attack occurred less than 48 hours after the nation’s Supreme Court unanimously approved the first extradition of a Colombian drug trafficker to the United States in nine years. In the late 1980s Pablo Escobar and other narcotics kingpins unleashed a brutal campaign of bombings, kidnappings and assassinations that cowed the Colombian government into halting all extraditions of suspects wanted by U....

Backwardly Mobile M.B.A.

Top B-schools routinely attract people with diverse backgrounds: Harvard’s current crop of M.B.A.s includes a Roman Catholic priest and several M.D.s. But even in this pool of talent, Krizelman stands out. In 1994 he and his Cornell roommate founded theglobe.com, a community Web site, and took it public in 1998. For a short time, each of them held stock worth $75 million (they each managed to bank several million before the dot-com collapse)....

Barack Obama Asks Tv Stations Not To Air Misleading Pro Trump Ad That Uses His Audio To Appear To Criticize Biden

The ad, paid for by the Committee to Protect the President, pairs an excerpt from the audiobook version of Obama’s memoir Dreams From My Father with images of Biden. The spot opens with a woman’s narration introducing Obama. “Joe Biden promised to help our community. It was a lie—here’s Barack Obama.” The clip that follows is an excerpt from Obama’s book, where the former president is speaking about “machine politics” in Chicago—a corrupt practice common in Chicago during the late 19th and early 20th century, where an elected leader would give supporters benefits based on their ability to get people to vote for them....

Barack Obama Blames Trump For Mob At Capitol Says Violent Crescendo Not Surprising

Obama issued a statement denouncing the violence hours after a mob of Trump supporters assaulted police and stormed into the Capitol building. Trump’s predecessor accused the president of “inciting” the violence by spreading false claims that President-elect Joe Biden benefited from massive voter fraud, while also condemning Republicans and pro-Trump media for promoting a false narrative that may have encouraged the violence. “History will rightly remember today’s violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation,” Obama said....
