Though I do want to stick with the name death panel, we will handle all forms of medicine, including plastic surgery. Michelle Pfeiffer and Demi Moore, yes; Joan Rivers, no.

Like the housing and stock markets in which so many Americans invested much more than their hearts and souls, the brand of baseball that captured Americans’ attentions over the past decade has been revealed for what it was: an inflated, bizarre version of the real thing...
