Twi-night doubleheader

Comment likened to that quote about living during interesting times. Tonight provides (me) two formidable televised contests: The Phillies versus the Milwaukee Sabathias followed by Palin v. Biden (which, in case she's reading, is not a Supreme Court decision). I'm sworn to withhold any ostentatious Phils boosterism till we win a postseason series (but Mets fans, lemme tellya, your agony sustains me). As for the debate—unlike the unblinking Palin, I'm just plain scared and ashamed. Though in this high-speed era, it's not surprising to see farce rear-ending tragedy.
