We Made Quick Takes Again
We are now embarking on our second 15 minutes.
The Chicago Sun-Times column "Quick Takes" has made reference again to our blog, this time with author Zay N. Smith taking note of our wondering about the last play of this year's World Series...
In other conspiracy news...there's a grassy knoll out in center field at Houston's Orange Juice Company Park. Discuss.
Add "Quick Takes": Yesterday we make the column. Today, our old high school makes the column.
The high school in question is Sunset High School, the school newspaper is called The Scroll, and we think that everyone who decided to say no to the ad is a bleedin' numbskull. Korean people are offensive? People who see a cartoon depicting the Korean owner are going to be offended because...well, what? Why is it offensive? You gotta be kidding. We are ashamed of our past affiliation with the school paper. What a cowardly lot the Scrollers seem to be now.

The E.K. Nation sports weblog ("We are too pretty to go to jail") at eksports .blogspot.com regarding the final play of the World Series:We must make it known that after the game ended, we went back and checked it again, and decided that, no, there must have just been a bit of a weird spin on the first hop. But if this world were free of controversy and all we had to talk about was the weather, this blog would be extremely non-existent. So, after further review, we say, aw hell, why not, the evidence is inconclusive!
"Outstanding play by Uribe! We could have sworn, from our living room in Portland, that the ground ball Orlando Palmeiro hit nicked his leg as he bolted out of the batter's box. But no matter..."
Gives us something to talk about for the next five cold baseball-seasonless months...

We Have Seen the Present, and It Does Not Work:We have seen the ad in question. It really is as described, a cartoon depicting the Korean owner.
A high school newspaper in Beaverton, Ore., refused an ad for a local restaurant featuring a cartoon of the Korean owner smiling and waving an "OK" sign because the cartoon depicted the Korean owner as Korean and depictions of Koreans in cartoons can lend themselves to the stereotyping of Koreans.
