Relieved, Renewed, Revitalized

Bill “Disappointed, Depressed, and Demoralized” Kristol is now relieved, renewed, and revitalized. But I wonder how George Will is feeling today. Baseball season’s over, the Chicago White Sox - not the Cubs - have won the World Series, and Harriet Miers has withdrawn from S.C.O.T.U.S. consideration. I imagine he’s not feeling too bad: baseball will return in the spring, Harriet’s gone, and if the two Sox teams can do it, there’s hope for the North Siders. It might just take some time. The White Sox won in 1917, the year Harry Caray was born and a postage stamp cost three cents. I see a day when the Cubs will win the series…but a postage stamp then might cost three bucks.
When I was watching the longest game in World Series history the other night, I felt myself starting to fade. “Poor Barbara Bush,” I said. “She must be exhausted. It’s getting so late.” At some point I think I saw that her seat was empty. I’m not positive because I was losing consciousness after the 12th inning. But I was fully awake when the game finally ended.
Last night I sat to watch Game 4. “There’s Barbara Bush! She’s back!” I heard T at the computer mumbling. “She never left.” He may be right. It was a long night for everyone and then it all ended a few hours later. The series is over, the city of Chicago is intact, and the Killer Bs had their shot at it.
Now we can focus on something else. And so it is like the Miers nomination. It’s over, and now we can focus on something else.
