Deep Throat Revealed. Potty Mouth PO'ed. Krugman Cranks Okrent. Sox Beat Orioles.


Let's see. Deep Throat is W. Mark Felt, the number two man at the FBI during the Watergate scandal. Potty Mouth Cheney is deeply offended at Amnesty International's assertion that the US is guilty of grave human rights violations regarding Iraqi detainees at Gitmo and elsewhere. Paul Krugman is making Daniel Okrent eat it raw over Okrent's brainless and unfounded claims that Krugman cooks his numbers in the same manner that the Bush administration does. Of course, by now every other blogger out there has done, or is doing something about these stories, so I'll just step aside and leave them to it.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox just beat the Orioles at Fenway 5-1, thanks in large part to a fine seven-inning performance by starting pitcher Wade Miller, and a four-run fifth inning against Oriole starter Daniel Cabrera. The win evens the four game series at one win each as the two teams meet again tomorrow and Thursday. Unfortunately, Johnny Damon left the game after hitting the wall in deep center going after a triple by Jay Gibbons. Damon ended up with four stitches over his right eye, and is probably day-to-day.

Not a hell of a lot else going on as I'm in a bit of a lazy mood after the three-day weekend. I hope to have some better stuff tomorrow.
