Remaining conviction against Barry Bonds is overturned.: More than 7 years after the original indictment (4 perjury, 1 obstruction of justice), Bonds is found not guilty of all charges.

If anyone's keeping track, that means the government is 0 for 2 in perjury trials related to the MLB steroid witch hunts (or 0 for 10 if you're counting total charges laid against the defendants).

I imagine you standing in front of two cork boards - one, "statements I've made" and the other "truths" and yesterday, you peeled the cigarette from your parched lips, put it out in the cigarette tray next to you, and in a gruff voice whispered "you're going home, friend" as you moved another scrap of white paper to its rightful place.

Sadly, one board is about to collapse under its own weight, so a LOT of good things better happen real soon before that happens...
