Lightning Round - 091710

Another busy day, so a few quick thoughts. More later, I hope.
  • What makes someone a RINO (Republican in Name Only)? Depends on who is doing the defining, I guess. To be honest, I suspect that a lot of the people who use the RINO epithet most often are actually further estranged from the Republican Party than the people labeled as RINOs. It's worth remembering -- while there is significant overlap between conservatives and Republicans, they are not necessarily the same thing.
  • The Twins completed the sweep last night in Chicago and are now clearly on their way to the playoffs. I'm looking forward to it. In past years, you've always had the sense that there was no way the Twins could get past the Yankees, but there's reason to believe that things are closer this time around.

Agreed. Outside of CC Sabathia, is there any other Yankees starting pitcher who strikes fear?
