"I'm not locked in here with you--you're locked in here with me!"

Had fantasy of Obama yelling at GOP like Rorschach:
"I'm not locked in here with you--you're locked in here with me!"
In a way, he just did

How cool! I've often wondered what happened to him, after he shut the Whiskey Bar down. That was one of my most favorite blogs, back in the day.

Long Live Billmon!

Billmon was a hell of a writer. I kept hoping he might one day might change his mind and come back. Glad to know he's still out there with something to say.
