in what i guess was meant to be a sharp rebuke, an private poster said this relative to my screed slamming the Hall of Fame:
<<gh..ANYONE can nominate an athlete......what's the problem? you guys complain but who have YOU nominated????????>> I'd like to thank the poster for putting an even sharper point on my bitching. Yes, ANYONE can nominate, and even worse, just about ANYONE can vote. Who said this was a democracy? At this point, let me paraphrase one of my fave Dennis Miller routines: "You know, I'm always worried when I get on a train and I see the cord you can pull to stop the train. Color me skeptical, but I'm not sure I want to be on any form of mass transit where the general public has access to the @#$@*#$! brakes. We're goin' off the tracks at 200mph because Gus thought he saw a woodchuck." Well, this just in: Gus has nominated the woodchuck for next year's HOF class and says he's going to vote for him. gh
