The buried lede is that Jason Heyward is black, and thus lazy. Duh. And he's not Latin black, he Atlanta native black. (he also hit a home run on his first major league swing, pretty sweet) This exhausts my knowledge about the braves.

Most often the head-first slide is when a runner is going back to their base on a pickoff move by the pitcher. You also sometimes see runners slide head-first into second when they're trying to steal a base, especially if they're named Jose Reyes - the Mets spent years trying to teach him <em>not</em> to do that, but never managed it.

Video analysis has confirmed that sliding head-first doesn't get you there any faster than sliding feet-first and common sense, confirmed by injury statistics, says feet-first is much safer. Plus feet-first is better at breaking up double-plays.

Anyone who didn't think it was possible for a candidate to be <em>more</em> out of touch than John "I don't know how many houses I own" McCain has been quite emphatically proven wrong, haven't they?

One point...

He doesn't have to slide head-first into a base because he has been able to slide head-first into Michelle.

Base - 0 Michelle -1

Hell, they even go looking desperately for sympathy about the problems the other groups you identify <em>wished</em> they had, like, for example, the fact that they'll have to pay <em>income tax</em> on their $100 million IRA when they retire.

You scared me with that Mike Judge thing- isn't it Mark Judge? I just googled because I couldn't believe that Mr King of the Hill would write for the Daily Caller.

I'm sure race played no part in his assignation of the roles of liberal to Heyward and conservative to Harper.

Obama is not like Rmoney, who recurrently dives head first into his money bin.

The column DOES read like either Beavis and/or Butthead wrote it, however.

Just because you can type words doesn't mean that you should.
