I know what he meant, but I bet he wishes he'd found a better way to phrase it
Overheard in a news report about the Duke lacrosse team scandal, from a reporter whose name I did not get:

"Unfortunately, many rapists can wear condoms."

The context was the report that there was no DNA evidence that the victim had had intercourse, consentual or otherwise. That word "unfortunately" just hangs out there, doesn't it?

Let's see, nausea, insomnia, hot/cold flashes, no stamina at the gym, my last pack of smokes tasted like crap, can't seem to get enough to drink or to eat...
Duh. This isn't withdrawal; I have the flu.

Red Sox opening day is today
Yay.

That's it?
Well it'd be a bigger yay if I was going to the game, or if I could watch the game, or if the season hadn't already begun eight days ago.

Of note, the team started off the season 5-1, while the Yankees started off 2-4. I'm expecting much schadenfreude from the Yanks this year. I hope they don't disappoint.
