See you at the debate, bitches

Via B.J.:

Sen. Evan Bayh’s [pronounced "Bi's"] staff softball team, The Bayh Partisans, has cancelled the game it had scheduled for tomorrow evening with the drug policy team The One Hitters. Bayh staffer Jonathan Stahler sent One Hitter team captain Kris Krane an e-mail Monday morning citing “[t]oo many people out of town” as the reason for the cancellation.

The One Hitters ?

That's awesome.

I like how they've colorized this to make the dunes look like golden Arabic script.

More "star" dunes here (h/t).
