...apparently not as interesting as all that: Devine, Bob Shrum and Mike Donilon fitted Senator John Kerry for a similar straitjacket in the 2004 campaign. In some ways, the Kerry campaign was even worse. After all, the Senator was a student of politics. He had spent his entire life hankering for the presidency.

...They are essentially normal. If their faces were not constantly displayed on ESPN they would be hard to distinguish from anyone else; this is especially true for many of the pitchers, who tend to be on the flabby side. One player in particular, thirteen-year veteran and Indians closer Bob Wickman (6’1 240 lbs.), could easily pass for a regular local patron at the Hong Kong, perched on a bar stool next to Touchdown...
