People Are Catching On

If it didn't happen in a Yankees game, it never happened. I am really loving Circling the Bases, a part of the NBC newsvine (I know, awful name). It may yet prove the worthy successor of Fire Joe Morgan.

Linked from another blurb on that site: many people know that John Smoltz, pitcher, is a self-righteous, evangelical Christian asshole. But did you know he just got married, again? Smoltz once famously opined that gay marriage was the gateway to human-animal marriage, the way pot leads inevitably to gas huffing. But in fact, the correlation between straight marriage and divorce in our country is much, much stronger than even the obvious parallel between gay marriage and bestiality. That is so weird -- maybe we can ask Smoltz's three kids and his first wife to weigh in on the glories of "Bible love."
