This world series looked so great on my Sony Bravia 32" that I took some photos off the screen with my D90. I wanted to see if my eyes were deceiving me. Mais non! Ball looked super sharp at 90 mph. Checked out to see what kind of lens that was: It was a Fujinon that costs $100 grand.

    Many thousands of hundred days have elapsed since the real Barack did his work. Meet the creature who is bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule, all white, with a woman's head and a stride that carries her to the far horizon with a single bound. See her pass through the Seven Heavens with Muhammad and the angel Gabriel on her back. Imagine what she could do with a budget bill.
