The TB is resistant to antibiotics, but not irony.

Not to make light of the plight of the infamous traveling TB lawyer, the dozens of nervous fellow travelers, and the boneheaded border agents, but the situation is chock full of all sorts of irony. First, his new father-in-law studies TB at the CDC. That should make for some interesting conversations when he's home for the holidays. There's the fact that everyone knew about the disease before he left for Europe (but good luck convincing a good Southern girl that her special day might not go off perfectly due to some little antibiotic resistant TB- after all, this would make a lousy wedding photo). Then, there's this:
Legal scholars say Mr. Speaker could be sued by fellow airline passengers, especially if any caught the disease from him
What kind of law does he practice? Personal injury.


And now, apropos of absolutely nothing, enjoy this epic tantrum from the manager of the Mississippi Braves (which mysteriously can't be embedded on here). The rosin bag/grenade bit is a piece of improvisational genius. Admit it. You wish you could do this at your job (and get applause for it instead of being escorted away in cuffs).
