| Why don't wins count anymore? |

In Kansas City, baseball fans are celebrating. In St. Louis, they're fuming.
It's usually the other way around. Right now, Royals fans are celebrating Zack Greinke's highly deserved Cy Young Award. In St. Louis, fans are complaining that Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, expected to finish 1-2 in the voting, got "snubbed" and lost to San Francisco's Tim Lincecum, who won a total of 15 games.
Greinke, for what it's worth, won 16.

| How the Republican Party is losing me |

I tend to lean to the right. For as long as I understood what it meant to be conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, I called myself a conservative Republican. In college, I wrote a newspaper column for 3 1/2 years brashly titled "No Left Turns."
In last year's primary, I voted for Ron Paul for a couple of reasons. One, a lot of things he said made sense. Two, at least he sincerely believed in the things he said that didn't make sense. And three, he's a doctor. When Ron Paul predictably didn't get the nomination, I voted against John McCain and for a Democrat, Barack Obama. The main reason was health care.
