- Play Ball! The 2004 Major League Baseball season is underway, and the Democrats have already politicized the United States' real national pastime (baseball, not politics!) Tom Purcell says enough, already.

- It's unfair, isn't it? That evil corporation dared to take YOUR job, and send it overseas where it can be done cheaper, in order to maximize their profits. Jacob Sullum has news for you.

- John Kerry's website says he will make government smaller. Ok, you can stop laughing anytime. The National Taxpayers' Union has tallied and added up the cost of every single promise Kerry has made so far in the Presidential campaign, and guess what...the size of government would actually increase, and so would the budget deficit and the national debt, even after repealing the "tax cuts for the rich."

- The Heritage Foundation released a study of the 10 greatest myths about jobs and outsourcing. Very timely, considering today's jobs report for March 2004, with 308-thousand new jobs created in March alone.

That's it for tonight. Time for a painkiller for my knee...the pickup basketball games tonight were a little rough. Maybe it has to do with the softball games this week, plus bowling, plus having to walk about 5 miles at work on a daily basis.
