Baseball and motherhood

Congratulations to bnewmark, who had her baby last Monday after going into labor in the first inning of the Washington Nationals' home opener.

Ted Turner on Charlie Rose

Charlie Rose interviewed Ted Turner last week, and it's worth watching (the entire hour-long show is available via Google Video). It starts off somewhat slow, but once the conversation gets going (and Turner stops singing!) it's very entertaining. They blaze through a variety of topics, and Turner's straight talk shows why McCain really doesn't deserve that label. I briefly fantasized about a Ted Turner/Warren Buffett presidential ticket; this really isn't the year for more old rich white men in office, but among that category those might be the two I'd choose.
