Someday after the gargoyle has passed away, Bud Selig's reign as Baseball's commissioner will be remembered as 20+ years of stupidity.

Bud Selig has made some unwise decisions, no doubt, and some that have harmed the long-term viability of the sport. I don't think I have agreed with anything he's actually done. But I suppose we should extend him a little grace -- his tenure has covered some of the most challenging times for the sport - the strike, changing tastes, steroids, internet age, etc.

Proof of global warming! I'll chant a few positive affirmations to Mother Gaia as penance, hoping for the day when we ban all fossil fuels forever.

I don't get it:

She is barely attractive. If you put here on the streets of Dallas, she wouldn't rate a glance. I can go to the local mall in nearby Grapevine, and in five minutes find a dozen women that are infinitely better looking.  Is this a US vs UK think?  Is she considered beautiful in the UK?  Is she just making this shit up, or are standards different across the pond?  If this woman gets people buying her bottles of wine and champagne for her looks, that's puzzling.  

This article is getting a lot of play because of the subject matter, but the entire point isn't a point when you don't represent that which you are writing about. I might as well write about my experiences being a hispanic in Texas (I'm not hispanic, just like this girl isn't beautiful).

no, she isnt.

This is a bit of publicity by a journo trying to become famous (any publicity is good publicity)

She has appeared on several daytime TV programs today, and I can only hope that she is thick-skinned, because shes taken a hell of a lot of flack.

General opinion is shes overdosed on her HRT and had a complete brain malfunction.

Cheers,

Thank you!  I was seriously questioning what the hell was going on.

I guess she's getting her 15 minutes though, she's been all over the media.

I'm thinking of a campaign where I declare I get all sorts of freebies from girls because of my hot bod.  During the interview I'll have a NTRPG con t-shirt on. Can't hurt.

Attitude has a lot to do with it. The less than hottest women can sometimes be the belle of the ball because of the way they pull it off. Acting attractive matters a lot.

Ah, but what about the Blind Man's OTHER Ball?
