Dspite the fact that Chris Matthews is the white, political version of Steven A. Smith, I still find myself drawn to Hardball.

I've got a sentencing hearing later today, so I'll have more details as they come. All of my prior court dates, I dressed to the nines. Today, I'm dressing in black jeans and a short sleeved shirt from Banana Republic. I need to be relaxed, and I figure that my fate has been fairly sealed at this point. I might as well be comfortable.
