(Yawn.)
Everyone is just SO excited about how Barry Bonds broke the all-time home run record last night with his 756th home run.
Because, you know, it's SUCH an accomplishment to break the all-time home run record, once held and achieved based on pure talent by Hank Aaron, by using
Hank Aaron got that record based on pure talent. Barry Bonds, in my opinion, didn't. The baseball greats of today are not the same as the true baseball greats of yesterday.

How do you know for certain that Barry Bonds used performance enhancing drugs? And how do you know for certain that Hank Aaron didn't? No matter what you think of Barry Bonds, steroids or no, hitting 756 home runs in a career is no small accomplishment.

But on the flip side, at least he had Madam Pelousy on hand to proclaim his "rightful place among sports' immortals."
Of cource she did.

Hell, look at Bill Clinton.
