Baseball was a metaphor for America, both here and in terms of how it was understood by the rest of the world.
I have been so great in boxing they had to create an image like Rocky, a white image on the screen, to counteract my image in the ring. America has to have its white images, no matter where it gets them. Jesus, Wonder Woman, Tarzan and Rocky.
I do feel visceral revulsion at the burka because for me it is a symbol of the oppression of women.
Everybody already knows what Godzilla is.
