When you couldn’t vote, it was because someone threw away your registration card or directed you to the wrong polling place, not because of civil war or fixed elections or militants who chopped off your hands to physically prevent you from casting a ballot (c.f. Uganda, Sierra Leone, Haiti). Negative campaigns focused on character assassination, not literal assassination (c.f. Congo, Niger, and Burundi). If you thought Nader was hopeless, ask China’s Democracy Party how they feel. And in the end, the biggest retribution you have to fear from your Republican friends is their taunts...
Though Columbia had only one win on the season coming into Saturday’s game, memories from last year’s meltdown prevented Harvard from getting overconfident. In the 2003 contest in New York, the Crimson threw two interceptions in the last two minutes to set up the Lions’ game-winning touchdown and effectively dashed its hopes of a share of the Ivy championship...

Holy metaphor! Then Lowe, who won the clinching game in all three postseason rounds, threw nothing but worm balls as the Sox won 10-3 in the decider.

While a specially-made ankle boot was expected to aid the ailing Schilling in Game 6 of the ALCS, the blood soaking through Schilling’s sock as he threw told a different story. In an unprecedented procedure, his doctors stitched his skin to his bone—keeping the tendon in his ankle in place. Amazingly, Schilling performed his usual magic in pain, and he remarkably repeated this feat during Game 2 against St. Louis...

At the same time, Kerry was lobbing charges more wildly than he had before, asserting that Bush has a secret plan to gut Social Security and revive the draft, which inspired Bush to accuse his rival of exploiting the politics of fear. The Democrats threw the charge right back when the Bush campaign launched the "Wolves" ad, which shows a pack prowling a forest like terrorists hunting their prey and implicitly suggests the country can't afford to choose Kerry under such threatening conditions...
