I hate watching baseball on TV. It’s slow, boring and way too long. It’s not my cup of tea. Excluding the few random games that I stumble upon and watch, I only consistently watch two things each MLB season – the Home Run Derby and the World Series.

Eco-Chic

In less than a month, the newest “it” bag has sold out. In a panic, eBay profiteers have taken to the streets in search of Chinese-produced knock-offs to mark up 20 times, while those outside the fashion world wonder what in God’s good name is going on here. No, it’s not a new Hermes design nor the hippest Louis-Vuitton print.

Of Driving.”

Global boring

·

I would like to think that if Al Gore, Sting and Madonna would stop abusing the privilege of exhaling carbon dioxide, global warming would cease to be a problem. Much to my dismay, their efforts last Saturday with Live Earth, the music event that featured 100-plus artists on seven continents rocking against global warming for 24 hours straight, did not correct this issue.

Chained to a cause

Severe mental illness and psychosis manifest themselves in a number of ways: odd or bizarre behavior, self-mutilation or social isolation, to name a few. Given those descriptions it’s easy to see how chaining oneself to a tree, a dog house or the front porch of your South Bend home could easily be construed as insanity.
