"An exercise in folly."

Thank God we have such a strong, resolute and decisive man of action in the White House.

“I said it in 1993, and I’ll say it again today,” Bush told a group of admirers, each of whom had written a 2000-word essay on why they should be allowed to bask in the glory of his presence, “the wild card is bad for baseball. I said that history would prove me right, and it has. It always does. Don’t ask me about ‘mistakes,’ young lady– that’s a trick question, and don’t think I don’t know it. The wild card is an exercise in folly, and it must be stopped now before it weakens our nation any further.”

Bush’s remarkable, bold, and also decisive decision came only hours after the Boston Red Sox had scrambled back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat the Yankees in four straight games, winning the climactic game seven in a rout. The Sox’ dramatic rally was unprecedented in major league baseball history, as is the President’s subsequent reversal of the outcome.

Sorry. Just a quick vacation from the "Reality-based community."
