after watching this. I guess there's not much hope for the A's to win another World Series title anytime soon?

Fun fact, though--we now have heard about the comparison between the NFL and socialism, but what about Mario Kart? One could arguably compare that video game series to socialism. The reason why I say this is because anyone who has played this game before knows that when you fall behind in a race, you receive better power ups (such as thunderbolts and blue shells), plus the "rubber-banding" difficulty of A.I.-controlled drivers causes them to slow down a little when your driver falls far enough behind, while their top speed doubles whenever you're in 1st place. Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart DS are really notorious for that.

When Bill is good, he's very, very good.
