Fumarama

Last weekend, I found myself wondering who coined the phrase "born on third base and thinks he hit a triple." Thank you Dahlia Lithwick of Slate for letting me know. It was Jim Hightower former Texas Agriculture Commissioner. I found this a bit anti-climatic, I imagined it would be someone I had heard of. Dan, who is far more knowledgeable of obscure political types, tells me he is lefty who writes, but isn't really sure what. Well, if you coin one good line in your life, if you had more than your share.
