Posted by Ryan, the future NYU Journalism drunkard/genius: I am posting in Joe's blog because frankly its boring and needs a wordsmith such as myself to bring it to life. I will be Joe's official ombudsman, the Daniel Okrent of his blog. My handle (posted by...) will be Ryan, Joe's Ombudsman. Fuck you. Stop laughing. I think that it is catchy. First I would like to address the immense sports content in this blog. It is wholly unnecessary that a Yankee fan comment on anything about the true nature of sports, being that all of the Yankee World Series Rings were bought. As a Red Sox fan, however, I do feel obliged to write about whatever the hell I want, because we work for what we get dammit, even if we lose. Second, I would like to applaud Mr. Scoops's powerful use of poetry, especially the first limerick, to convey what a dig Rummy is. And for that matter what a bunch of dick's the Bush administration are. Especially Dick Cheyney. He's a double dick. Anyway, thank you, Joe, for letting my be your ombudsman (you can't spell ombudsman without "bud"). I will serve your public with the respect and integrity that they deserve.
