The bad thing about the Simmons book

It's fairly well concelead in wiseassery, but I'm a little down on Bill Simmons apologetics for his minimal displayed literacy. Maybe it comes with the territory for a sports journo. Maybe I'm just a little testy because of the retrogade intimations of the cover of the Albany [Hearst] Times-Union I saw in the vending machine ootside the Denny's in East Greenbush the other day. The two lead stories were aboot 1) a sharp decline in adult literacy and 2) new success in the fight against polio. Did we just lose 75 years of progress? What's going on here? Maybe they had to quarantine those two Denny's' for a polio outbreak.

Speaking of literacy, I'm having a hard time determining how much copy editing to do to my blog posts. It's tearing me up on the inside, and devouring my time and attention. The most precious stuff we have. I got a lot of same from Stephanie on the phone today, that was the best.

I read on the internet aboot someone who enjoyed a Mothra tamagachi (sp?) that you raise from a larvae, and if you do it right it beats Godzilla. That does seem cute, but, damn, people could be accomplishing real things or with other people. Maybe you should let Godzilla get away with this one. Robot Mothra is an emtpy pit.
