THE FIRST PITCH

Tonight, Barack Obama threw out the first pitch at the All-Star Game, and yet the broadcast never showed where the pitch went. Neither I nor you have ever seen this before. Did he get it over the plate? Did he even get it to the plate? Just as we only watch the Star-Spangled Banner to see if the singer forgets the words, the only reason we watch the ceremonial first pitch is to see whether the honoree can throw a damn baseball.

Can there be any doubt that, as a condition of his appearing on the mound in St. Louis, Obama ordered that the end of the pitch not be televised? There can be only one reason for this bizarre bit of broadcasting---Obama’s demand that he be spared any possible embarrassment if he threw it in the dirt.

This is what happens when the state controls the media. And if you needed any further proof of the fascist bent of this imperial president, you saw it tonight.
