But when these same paid off jokers of the House or Senate are trying to slip one by, a demand of anonymity is the watchword of the day.

“Who the hell threw strike three? I never even saw the ball.”

“Anonymous.”

In this particular case, ‘every effort’ is code for patronizing the wild-eyed religious-right Republican base—that old ex-Democrat stronghold that Republicans bought off with a long and racist list of ‘thou shalt nots.’

The tide seems to be turning in America among young evangelicals who have had enough of mega-churches and Mercedes missionaries. It can't possibly happen soon enough. "Mr Bush, tear down that wall."

Barry Frank, a top official at IMG, which represents sports, fashion and entertainment personalities, said:
"Look, baseball is basically becoming a Hispanic game. And don't forget who their employers are -- men of considerable means and power. The owners are not going to let their stars get away because of some silly Washington law. I think you're going to hear some noise."
In a point-spread between Barry Frank and the United States Congress, you just gotta put your dough on Barry.
