Adam Smith was wrong

Happy Birthday to me and to Charlie Manson and to Kurt Vonnegut, wherever you are. Say thanks to your veterans today, and tip your waitresses.

Junior and I watched the original Chevy Chase Vacation twice this past weekend.

We're going to Kansas City this coming weekend. We're thinking about running over to Manhattan for the KSU-Nebraska game. We're guessing that Ron Prince will be extra bold and daring from now on. Regardless, we're going to the Chiefs-Saints game Sunday. Maybe the Chiefs will win one.

We're starting to get worried about the talk coming out of KC regarding the Royals off-season. The only reason we were OK with the Jacobs deal is because we thought it was just the start of a lot of activity. But, hey, at least we re-signed Brandon Duckworth.

Surely KC will be in on some deals and acquisitions during the winter meetings.

All of this talk about socialism and taxes and economic theory has us thinking about John Nash. Remember that scene in A Beautiful Mind where Nash has an epiphany involving the girls in the bar? Basically, he tells his friends to ignore the really beautiful girl in the group and to pay extra attention to her non-ugly friends. That way all of the guys get laid. Well, we subscribe to this theory of economics and we also apply it to Big Market versus Small Market basesball. Everybody should ignore A-Rod and pay extra attention to the Royals and Pirates. That way, everybody but Madonna benefits. Or something like that.



P.S. Check out this bloodbath at the KC Star.
