Ebony and Ivory
Normally I would welcome the chance to witness the relatively wholesome spectacle of Minor League Baseball. But the fact that The Deuce is presently broadcasting a game between the teams from Trenton and Portland, Maine has me livid. I was in the Bay Area for the tail end of Joe Montana's career, when his health was a headline news story. But the handling of the Rocket's annual summer vacations has taken adulatory fixation to a new level. If I have to hear one more tribute to the man's determination I'm going to hurl.
Maybe it was because I'd been struck the previous evening by several ads in the new "local content" magazine Tangerine -- otherwise the occasion for numerous shudders of the bitterly mirthful variety -- that feature same-sex "teams," but I immediately wondered whether the photo here features Ian and Dwight and, more importantly, whether potential homebuyers might be wondering the same thing.
