Obituary: There is a lot of revisionism regarding the career of disgraced MLB player Pete Rose, who died today at the age of 83 at his home in Las Vegas. The bottom line is he didn't have to do what he did, and that was gamble in baseball, so it is his own fault he was never inducted into Cooperstown.
Just why there will be an autopsy of his body given his age is a mystery to me.
Snip:
No player in the 100+ year history of Major League Baseball had more hits than Pete, who accumulated an astounding 4,256 hits over his 24-season career.
Rose also led MLB in games played (3,562), at-bats (15,890) and plate appearances (14,053).
In the field, Rose was very versatile ... playing first base, second base, third base, and the outfield.
With all that talent on the field, he still fucked it up. People make excuses for him just like they made excuses for Lance Armstrong's flagrant cheating in pro cycling.

Finally a sane judge that nails it about the abortion issue. He holds up the intent, if not the letter, of Roe v. Wade.
Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote.
…..the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for the five months leading up to viability. It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could -- or should -- force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another.
