Isn't Brad Pitt Handsome?

There's an odd symmetry to Brad Pitt's Moneyball coming out in the midst of the Bush Administration's what I'm sure will be an endless series of it's members going around on the talk show circuit selling books that pat themselves on the back for being terrible at their jobs.  I mean, you can't compare a baseball team to a group of men who caused so much death and destruction we'll be paying for it for decades to come as they destroyed any practical worth of American Exceptionalism in the name of braying their assurance of it, but while the A's had a nice run of winning a coupla division titles in a weak division, the one thing people will ever remember from those years is The Jeter Flip play, ie a game and series the A's ta-DA!....lost.
