Where's the love? Part I

In a surprising move, Al Gore has decided to endorse Howard Dean for the 2004 Democratic Presidential Nomination. It may seem like being a political fair weather fan: back the exciting candidate who seems well poised to win the nomination according to the polls. It's like claiming to be a Marlins fan after they won the [North American part of the] World Series. Joe Lieberman and John Kerry are not feeling the love. Lieberman is understandably miffed considering that he was the Veep Nominee just three short years ago. Lieberman, though, is a Democrat in name only: kind of like living in Boston and rooting for the Yankees. One cannot be a Bostonian and root for the Yankees, just as one cannot say they are a "Democrat" while pretty much supporting the President's agenda, particularly that thing we got going on in Baghdad and suburbs.

Where's the love? Part II

Nomaaaaahhhh Gaaahciapaaaraaa is also miffed but not because Al Gore endorsed Howard Dean, but because he feels his employer is not giving him enough love. The Sox are reportedly trying to trade outfielder Manny Ramirez to the Texas Rangers for Shortstop Alex Rodriguez (aka A-Rod, or the best player in the game). This little trade has to do with money and passion: both players have money, but Manny is a bit flaky and gives the appearance of not caring and being lazy. Got that? Well, the main complication is that Nomar (or Nomaaaah) is our current shortstop and would have to be traded. He's upset because no one on the Red Sox has yet discussed his departure with him.
