I'm not a NY Yankee fan. I'm especially not a Derek Jeter fan. But 3,000 hits is impressive, I don't care who you are. What's even more impressive is that Jeter's 3,000th hit was a home run which was caught by Christian Lopez. The most impressive event of them all is that Lopez gave the ball back to Jeter; no strings attached. That kind of generosity is hard to find in these days of sacrificing one's body and life to catch a ball going into the stands.
Now comes the absurdity. The Yankees gave Lopez season tickets and autographed memorabilia from Jeter as a reward for his generosity. The IRS will be expecting the value of those season tickets to be on Lopez's tax return next April 15. Apparently this whole deficit/debt ceiling thing really is a crisis.

I heard this on the radio. It really is shameful, isn't it? By-the-way, what's the picture? I'm not able to see it.
