A Last Word on the Yankee Defeat

Alex Massie at The New Republic is overthinking the effects George W. Bush had on the New York Yankees defeat. He compares the Yankees ways to those of the Republicans, showing all kinds of useful parallels between their respective evils. The direct link between Steinbrenner and Bush is particularly interesting.

But in reality, the reasons the Yankees have not won a World Series during the Bush Administration is that God has simply decided that a Bush Administration and a Yankees World Series champion would be too much evil in the world. The apocalypse is not ready to happen, not for another 12 months anyway.
