Gregg Easterbrook’s new column is really good, if slightly too long. He has venom for both the NBA and Hillary Clinton.

Best quotes, respectively…

If the NFL turned into the NBA, there would be no plays on offense; 11 guys would just run around doing whatever they felt like, calling for the ball. Each person who actually got the ball would immediately throw a 60-yard pass, then turn to the officials to scream for a foul.

TMQ wonders how Sen. Clinton found the time to write a 562-page book.Consider that John McCain’s autobiographical work, “Faith of My Fathers,” proclaims on its cover “by Mark Salter, with John McCain.” The true author’s name is there for everyone to see, and this neither detracts from sales (“Faith of My Fathers” was a commercial success) nor causes anyone to think any less of McCain. Famous people who care about their honor, like McCain, freely acknowledge using ghostwriters — this is called “honesty.” Famous people with serious ego problems, or who don’t care about their honor, lie about being authors.

Good Stuff.
