LOL - you do realize that if it hits the foul pole, it's a home run, right?

No, it doesn't. If it hits the foul pole, no matter where it falls, it's a home run. That's why some announcers refer to it jokingly as the "fair pole."
I'd stay away from the baseball metaphors, slugger.

PeppyGPhiB,
Do you feel like more protectionists policies are the answer? Or are you just irritated by the idea of overly simplistic answers to the what you see as only being a small part of the problem?
KSigRC,
More than anyone on GC other than MysticCat, your posts are reliably good. Even when my position doesn't align with you guys, I think everyone can just see the beauty of the pretty well-crafted arguments or the usually careful critique of someone else's maybe slightly flawed one.

No biggie - the fair/foul rule in baseball makes no sense. Maybe you should just throw a penalty flag when you disagree with someone's argument..haha.

He's a pretty smart guy, one of the 2 or 3 smartest people on here...even if he is a Red Sox fan. And I'm not just saying that because we're pledge brothers...

You do good work here too, but I was afraid sucking up to three people in one post was just too much. I'd probably also throw Breathesgelatin and AGDee into the "always worth reading" category too.
On that note, what happened to Shinerbock? Anyone know?

Eh, it's probably the latter that bothers me. As if all the people losing their jobs are uneducated bafoons who don't know how to use a computer, and as if sending all of them, especially recent college grads, to community college to learn who-knows-what-since-they-never-specify is the answer to our outsourcing problems.

I can understand that.
And I feel like I experience the same thing from all political candidates. To really try to explain how things would work is to wonky for most people's level of interest, assuming that there's even really a plan and it's not just rhetoric.
I'm not trying to be snarky, but I'm really curious how Obama can cut as many taxes as he's talking about cutting, implement as many social programs as he's talking about implementing, and ensure as many labor protections as he's talking about delivering. I'd love to see some numbers.
