WHERE IS MY EMAIL???

WTF?!?!?! Is anyone else in '05 receiving their email? I haven't been receiving emails since the morning.

Saturday afternoon the Sox traded away Nomar.

And amazingly, none of us knew.

Dan Shaugnessy makes the argument that it was time for him to go.

It all sounds sadly reasonable to me.

An un-related Boston Globe article Sunday on baseball explored the issue of young kids in suburban Boston declaring that they are Yankees fans, and not Red Sox fans (can you top that lameness?!). Anyhow, the article, which came from the Metro section and not the Sport section, was amusingly graphic in describing one of the kids:

"Yet something has happened to Mark during the last two years, a strange and troubling transformation that is sweeping the elementary students of Weston like a bad case of head lice."

In other news, TIME has an apparent scoop claiming that some officials in the Palestinian Authority are profiting, through business interests, from the construction of the Wall.

*

Finally, a piece in the Times' Week in Review on Obama explores how "political analysts have wondered whether white voters don't also find him attractive because, while he is black, he is not the direct product of generations of black life in America: he is not black in the usual way."
