That's what I told Joe Guzzardi when he was doing the piece about Peter Pace crying about immigration reform. (It's a quote from the movie A League of Their Own, which is about girls playing baseball when the men were off to war.
So I'm watching E! Hollywood News (don't ask me why...pregnancy has possibly rotted my brain) and apparently Mel Gibson's arrest for DUI over the weekend is causing quite a ruckus in LA LA Land.
