For the most part, I keep my nose (or, at least, my blog's nose) out of the realm of politics. And, for the time being, that will continue.
So, no political implications should be taken from this link. But I do urge you to read it and laugh.

Consistent Inconsistency
Do you know what it means to be busy? Good. Because now I have a lot less to explain about why I haven't been posting.
The Mets now stand at 18-16 on the season, 2.5 games out of first place (they're behind the Phillies and the Nationals). Coming after last year, it's kind of a breath of fresh air, because while the Mets are not doing all that well (and are EXTREMELY streaky) they're doing alright and hanging in there in the divisional race.
I don't know if this is good or bad, but it seems like nearly everybody's either really good or really bad. David Wright, Jeff Francoeur, and Jose Reyes headline a crew that is either doing nothing or everything right.* The rotation has seen no-one in complete command. Mike Pelfrey, who started this season in nice fashion, has now put together two far-from-quality starts out of his last three. I'm not saying there's cause for concern - though health concerns may exist - I'm just saying that (while baseball's long season almost requires inconsistency over the long haul, it seems like) the 2010 Mets are consistently inconsistent.
* I say this on an individual basis. Players are streaky, but they are not coordinating with one another.
Not good; not bad. Weird.
