Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Monday, March 22, 2004 :::
I'm not sure whether I want to talk about politics or whether I just don't want to talk about basketball.
I never understood the point of basketball. A bunch of people run back and forth and score points at a delirious pace. Silly.
Now, baseball, on the other hand, gives you enough time to contemplate statistics between each moment of activity. Much more civilized.
Two unrelated but interesting tidbits from the "Where are they now?" files:
Manuel Noriega, now 70, is still in prison in Miami. He was recently denied parole, despite a positive recommendation from the judge who originally sentenced him. It's not every day you hear of a US attorney recommending against paroling a drug trafficker on the grounds that, if set free, he could "destabilize Panama."
Also, Fred Korematsu has filed an amicus brief with the US Supreme Court in support of the Guantanamo detainees.
