The Good and Badminton

Be clear. It's not bad mitten(s). That could be what a non-Romney (Mitt) favoring  South Carolina Republican primary voter might think as they head off today to vote.

It's badminton (bad-min-tn), and thinking on that subject should include Lee Chong Wei, Malaysia and World No. 1, and autobiographer of Dare to Be a Champion. He describes it as, "... about the hardship I went through as a player. Hopefully, it will generate more interest among the youngsters." Here, of course, we are not necessarily counting more interest among youngsters in Asia where badminton evokes national passions. It's youngsters in the west, where the money still is and where, unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find the book or even learn about one's obligation as a badminton fan.
