Barry Bonds, American hero

Hammer has a blog - no joke - and posts pretty regularly. He seems like a nice enough guy and it's pretty cool that he does posts with his kids like everyone else - at least he's not strutting like David Lee Roth at this pint, right? - so it's an oddly interesting read.

He had me with his baseball posts until I came across this:

"The Bonds on Bonds is fair and balanced. I couldn't believe that some analyst didn't want Barry to have a platform to offer another perspective of whom he is. That is typical of agenda driven journalism that will soon be replaced by community driven journalism that will offer the voice of the people, not these one sided attacks to create perception, that offer no counter perspective."

Way to go, Fox... ruin the words "fair" and "balanced" for everyone to mean exactly the opposite. Not sure if it's when they're used together now or what, but find me one sane individual who hears that phrase and doesn't get suspicious immediately.

In any event, Hammer Time.
