There is no joy in Mudville...

 
"No joy in Mudville" is the famous concluding sentiment from "Casey at the Bat", an 1888 mock-heroic baseball poem written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer.
• The Situation: The fictional town of Mudville trails in the final inning. Two outs are on the board, and runners are on base.
• The Hero: Star player Mighty Casey steps to the plate to save the game.
• The Climax: Overconfident, Casey lets the first two pitches go by for strikes. On the final pitch, he swings with all his might and misses, striking out to end the game and leaving the entire town in despair.
Well, last night was a disaster, no doubt about it. Here come the Muslims, and WTF is up in Texas ferfucksake? The only good takeaway I have is that Florida is still a Red State, with a new Conservative Black (first ever) Governor, and our Prop 3 went through, so my property taxes will go down. Other than that, the next two years - at least - are gonna be a shit show...
