Today is the official Opening Day of the baseball season. And so, in tribute, we give you this perspective of one of the coolest presidential perks. -- Chad

For many years, one of the perks of being president of the United States was throwing out the first pitch on Opening Day for the Washington Senators. Even though the original Washington Senators of the American League left the nation's capital for Minneapolis-St. Paul after the end of the 1960 season, the new expansion Washington Senators took over to start the 1961 season, playing at the same Griffith Stadium (later renamed RFK Stadium).

Well, at the end of the 1971 season, the new Washington Senators left for Dallas-Ft. Worth to be the Texas Rangers (later to be run by George W. Bush). And there was no replacement. Presidents came and went, and there was no baseball joy in Washington.

A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION
By Amy Branham

The Senator from New York has run her Presidential campaign based largely on the fact, as she sees it, that she has more experience and therefore is the better candidate for President. She has recently said that on a trip to Bosnia as First Lady, her plane landed under sniper fire and they all had to run from the tarmac to safety.

My first thought was that just can't be right. There is no way in the world that a plane carrying the First Lady and her daughter would be allowed to land in a hostile zone. There is just too much risk in doing so. That just didn't make any sense whatsoever. But when she told the story, Hillary was laughing and smiling and seemed pretty convincing. She seemed to believe the story herself!

Over the next few days, her story started to unravel and we learned that the experience she relayed with just not true at all. There was no danger and there was no sniper fire, as video dug up from the archives of almost every television news network has shown.

BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

Can someone please tell me what insane brain came up with these illogical, irrational, contradictory, rhetorical statements? “The surge is working, violence is down.” “The surge is working because violence is up in Basra and Baghdad.”

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

Trent Franks is the Congressman for the 2nd District of Arizona. That makes him literally John McCain's Congressman.

Would you like to have some idea of who Franks is and how he relates not just to McCain, but also McCain's church? Imagine a story about the church of a presidential candidate.

Bush may not be the greatest of wordsmiths, but he certainly nailed it when he said that the battle in Basra, in which the puppet governent of Nuri al-Maliki and the Iraqi military were attacking the entrenched Mahdi Brigades of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr for control of Iraq's crucial port city, was a "defining moment" in the five-years-and-running Iraq conflict.

That battle, which saw al-Maliki fly down to the presidential palace in the country's second largest city to direct the army's fight, only to be spirited away by an American air rescue team when he was in danger of being captured or killed, is indeed a defining moment.

It defines the utter failure of the Bush/Cheney Administration's year-long "surge" scam, which was supposed to "give the Iraqi government time" to get on its feet, pass a law on sharing the country's oil wealth among the various regions and tribes, and resolve the issues of power sharing between Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds.
