“Research suggests that the more [Mitt] Romney tries to not talk about his wealth, the more likely he is to do just that. The human mind is perversely drawn to fixate upon the subjects we most want to avoid, especially when under stress.” — Liz Goodwin, on the “ironic process,” also known as “Steve Blass Disease” (or “Steve Sax Disease,” for that matter) and how it all relates to Dostoyevsky’s Prince Myshkin.
Incidentally, congratulations to Logan Place and Tom Gabrielli, winner and runner-up in the “theD” guessing game. Some Huntington Press swag shall be their reward.

Steve Sax… is he STILL committing errors?
Ahhh… Steve Sax… folks in the yellow seats behind first base were in harms way from those errant throws. But Saxie was a great hitter, a spark in the leadoff slot, a career 90 plus percent base stealer. Romney on the other hand can’t seem to do anything right, whenever he goes off script his foot takes up all the space in his mouth. Mitt has not gone on a Sunday Morning Network news show for months, because he knows those anchors will ask follow-up questions.
