Braves win! Braves win! Braves win! Well, they won once, anyway. I'm glad they managed to win this second game in the series or it would have been a dire situation for them. They still need to win 2 of 3 possible games (the first two of which will be in SF) to go on to the next round, but it is better than starting the series 0-2.

Congress looks like it is on the verge of handing Bush the authority he asked for to invade Iraq whenever he feels like it. This is just getting scarier and scarier.

So, the Braves winning is the good. Congress going along with Bush is the bad. Actually, I think the Congress and Bush can be both the bad and the ugly. They are certainly taking us as far from good as they can.
