Thursday, May 28, 2009. What Does History Tell Us About the Pens-Wings Rematch? Not a whole hell of a lot, but I spent like an hour researching this, so might as well share:. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings face off in a rematch of last year's Stanley Cup Final. The questions you didn't ask, but I answered, are:. HOW DID PREVIOUS REMATCHES TURN OUT? Splits: 1921-22 Ottawa/Toronto; 1923-24 Ottawa/Montreal; 1932-33 Toronto/New York; 1955-56 Montreal/Detroit; 1983-84 New York Islanders/Edmonton.

DISSENT INTO MADNESS: An Objective, Dispassionate and Totally Devastating Appraisal of Chris Osgood as Hall of Famer
http://jasonballot.blogspot.com/2009/06/objective-dispassionate-and-totally.html
Thursday, June 04, 2009. An Objective, Dispassionate and Totally Devastating Appraisal of Chris Osgood as Hall of Famer. Bill Hicks used to joke about the abortion debate thusly. I'm torn. I try and take the broad view and think of them as evil, annoying fucks.". This bit reminds me of the debate surrounding Chris Osgood's. Hall of Fame viability. Kevin Allen. Makes a pretty reasonable case for "Ozzie." On the other side, the sum of this guy's argument. Osgood's candidacy is the touchstone for another ty...

DISSENT INTO MADNESS: January 2009
http://jasonballot.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Bibby Did a Bad, Bad Thing. Heat 95, Hawks 79. Pee-yoo, what a stinker. The effort was certainly ugly from a team standpoint: 27 first half points, 7 total team assists, and 19 turnovers. Eww. But on a night when so much went wrong for the team, point guard Mike Bibby. Had the single worst game. Of his 11-year NBA career last night. For those interested in how Game Score is calculated. How bad is a Game Score of -5.5? In Game 7 of the '94 Finals (8 points, 2-18 FG, 0-11 3FG (!

DISSENT INTO MADNESS: February 2008
http://jasonballot.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 16, 2008. Law Is Often But the Tyrant's Will". Consider Thomas Jefferson's famous definition of individual liberty. Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. While reading about President Bush's intention to veto the Senate ban. Earlier, White House spokeswoman.

Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Even As A Steely Dan Fan, I Can Appreciate This. The Onion pokes fun. At Donald Fagen and the notoriously esoteric Steely Dan. Hey i am a big fan of Steely Dan, but Mr Walter Becker has a new album called Circus Money, What a great album it is, just had to share that with all the Steely Dan Fans.

DISSENT INTO MADNESS: July 2008
http://jasonballot.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. Media Keeps Flunking Economics, Rothbard Spins in His Grave. Is a textbook example of how the media misrepresents economic issues - whether in this case from ignorance or bias, I don't know. Author David J. Lynch's Keynesian assumptions simmer beneath the surface of the whole article, so I'm leaning toward the latter. Consider the conclusion. Because Lynch writes this without irony or criticism, we must conclude he silently approves of the implications:. An era marked by regulato...

Tuesday, May 06, 2008. Boston Be Not Proud. Shit, has it been that long? Frankly, I've been caught in the vise grip of ennui for awhile, and it took a playoff run by the Atlanta Hawks (the Hawks! To inspire me. I've witnessed nearly every Hawks home game since the start of 2006-07, and had anyone told me they'd push the mighty Celtics to Game 7 - before bowing out in the most ignominious cock-punching imaginable - I'd have wondered who dosed my cheese grits. Manage to win three games? Those of us who hav...

DISSENT INTO MADNESS: December 2007

Sunday, December 16, 2007. Random Thoughts on the Mitchell Report. So, the Mitchell Report. On steroid use in baseball was released last week, and you know what? I don't really give a shit. Seems to me that enough righteous indignation has been wasted on the so-called menace of steroids. I won't even link to the worst offenders; everyone knows how to use Google. My own thoughts are pretty well summed up by Lew Rockwell. It can also be baseball's business, but then it is up to MLB to enforce its rules.
