Since Major league baseball spring training is in full swing, it seems only right to apply a baseball metaphor to a political situation. Just as umpires behind home plate call balls and strikes, it would seem we need non partisan umpires to call BS on political hardball.
The media has abdicated that role by indulging in aggressive "views on the shape of the earth vary" journalism. We need, but will never find, an arbiter respected by both sides to adjudicate claims from the left and the right. Might as well wish for a unicorn, but it's worth a shot.
