From Peter Gammons' ESPN column today:
MLB has assured that the Washington Lobbyists will not be among the bidders for free agents, since there won't be any ownership in place in the shopping season.Ha ha! Lobbyists! That's almost as funny as the thousands of other Washington-themed names everyone suddenly feels obliged to come up with. Anyway, whom has MLB assured? I don't expect beautiful prose from my sportswriters, but Gammons' grammar is so bad that it tends to obscure his meaning. Whatever direct object you stick in there, though, this is not so good.
The gay community is up in arms that the proposed stadium site would deal a death-blow to the city's "homosexual entertainment" district (by the way, what do you think your average imam thinks of the phrase "homosexual nightclub mecca"?). I wonder if Michelle Malkin knows who her bedfellows are on this issue. Ha!

Ms Malkin is certainly easier on the eyes than Paul Allen.
True. She's like Ann Coulter, but good looking.
Either one of them would cook you a fabulous breakfast in the morning.
By the way, your observation about "homosexual nightclub mecca" was the funniest line I've read in a while.
There are legions of people who know more about this kind of thing than I do, but one of them is Stanford economist Roger Noll, who "argues that sports facilities can be justified only as a quality-of-life proposition . . ." as if that's not important. If Anacostia truly is revitalized (or perhaps vitalized), is that worth what it's going to cost to get the Expos there? Denverites and Baltimoreans would probably say yes.
