Last Friday night at Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles had a Tupac Shakur
bobblehead night. You remember Tupac? The notorious “gangsta” rapper who was
killed in a 1996 drive-by in Las Vegas? Yes, that Tupac, whose life involved
gangs, guns, killing, and hard time for sexual abuse. So much for
family-friendly nights at the old ballpark. Wholesomeness doesn’t put butts in
seats like honoring a dead thug -- not in gang-plagued Baltimore, anyway.
Paying homage to Tupac seems fitting for Baltimore, a dilapidating city scarred
by all sorts of crime. Kudos to Orioles’ execs who dreamt up the promo. They
certainly know their market. The giveaway was wildly successful. Expected
demand

7:34:46 AM Post Reply The point of a republic isn’t to enforce all the most
brilliant ideas. It’s to not let one arrogant and selfish group bulldoze all
the others. It’s the belief that if any group oversteps its boundaries, the
pain itself (and the ensuing anger) should lead the other people to fix it. In
other words, the real question, today, in our republic, is whether stupid
