The moderate claim is not my own invention but Donovan's -- he posted 
night before last (I believe) that he was that "endangered species," a 
moderate.  I wouldn't define him as a moderate, either.  Tony Blair, 
Bill Clinton, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arlen Specter . . . all 
moderates.  But Donovan?  I'd define him as Hither and Yon, depending 
on his mood.

As for you, Area Man, you're no Franz Ferdinand, but neither are you 
Gavrillo Princeps.  In fact, I'd say that you -- YOU! -- were a genuine 
moderate.  It's one of the many reasons I like you.  Well, that and the 
fact that you're the same height as Mariner's first baseman Richie 
Sexson . . . I love Richie.  And Ichiro.  And Johjima.  Ichiro wasn't 
at his best batting yesterday, but he was a dream in the field -- as 
always.

But here's a question: why in the hell are the Mariners dropping $4 
million on that homophobic, doesn't-believe-in-dinosaurs, 
crap-at-the-plate ma-roon Carl "Designated Hitter" Everett?  He was 
complete shite yesterday -- one good hit.  One.  $4 million.  I feel a 
sick season coming on . . .
