I guess Putin is just as screwed up as Obama.

Vlad decided that he had something to say so instead of doing what most politicians do, which is go on television and spew a lot of nonsense, he wrote a letter to the New York Times. The NYT decided that it was a slow news day and they published the letter that Vlad wrote.

On the one hand, Obama should give some thought to what Putin is saying and on the other hand, Putin should just shut the hell up.

What can I say about the Red Sox other than, "Wow".

They have a nine and a half game lead in the AL East, a four game lead in the American League and a one game lead in Major League Baseball. In other words, they are in the lead.

There are only 15 games left in the regular season and with a nine and a half game lead, it's unlikely that they will lose the AL East. In order for that to happen, they would have to lose 8 games and the Rays would have to win 7 games.
