The Weekend Desk Report

Yeah, I forgot this one yesterday. Or more like, I couldn't find it because I didn't remember it quite right. Here it is:

*

And from a member of the Beachwood Nation who rather go through the war anonymously:

Predictable 9/11 patriotic overkill around MLB.

Salute the flag, then bomb Syria. It never ends.

*

Here's how baseball games will be conducted in the near future:

Before the game: National Anthem

1st inning: Video tribute to Heroes of the Marines

2nd inning: Singing of Onward Christian Soldiers

3rd inning: Billy Graham sermon highlight

4th inning: Video tribute to Heroes of the Seabees

5th inning: Clip of John Wayne killing a Jap

6th inning: B-52 flyover

7th inning: God Bless America

8th inning: West Point Cadet pillow fight

9th inning: George Bush - Mission Accomplished

Nicely done, my friend.

Boeing's China Con
"Such global sourcing takes advantage of the ability to evade U.S. labor and environmental laws that offer at least some manner of protection from unsafe working conditions and poverty wages while building business partnerships with despots whose human rights abuses and authoritarian governments needn't get in the way of overpaid American executives whose greed is never satiated.

"But yeah. Yay! Boeing. Chicago."
