Ahhh, just in case you thought the Olympics were out of touch, the International Olympic Committee announced today that baseball and softball were going to be left off the 2012 program (or, as they call it "programme"). Thank God. It's about time that an world organization (or, as they call it, "organisation") stood up and was willing to say:

"Hey, someone needs to rise up against they tyranny of organised (there it is again...) baseball and softball. No one cares about these so-called sports. What the people really, really want to see is shooting, table tennis and the equestrian. That's where the kids are at--ping pong and horsie riding and guns. Kids love the horsies and guns. You know, perhaps we should preempt the entire proceedings for a John Wayne movie marathon. We'll consider that for 2016, actually. That would broaden our options for where to host it. How does Sheboygan sound?"

On the bright side, I guess I can plan to continue to not care about the Olympics for the better part of decade. That's something, right?
