inside baseball

1) Baseball slang. A strategy based on teamwork and good execution. Keeps the ball infield using walks, base hits, stolen bases and bunts.

2)term used in American politics to utiltize a means to an end through evil practices.

The migration of sport to politics is in the 'inside' depicted as a hall of mirrors. By providing info 'from the inside' results in overconfidence leaving the informants in fact clueless about what actually happens in the game or simply, bullshit baffles brains.
1) The Baltimore Chop - where a batter swings downward on the ball resulting in a skyward rebound, allowing the batter to reach first base safely before the opposing team has a chance to make a play.

2) When McCain challenged Obama's committee work in the Senate, Obama brushed it off with "that's Senate inside baseball."

A man finds it difficult to walk down the street because he’s self-conscious and feels that people are watching him from their windows. Worse, he may run into a person on the sidewalk and be forced to say hello to them. He’s not sure he can do that. His voice will catch, his "hello" will sound weak, and the other person will know he’s frightened.

tortured genius

You are smart. Brilliant in fact. And while it's a blessing, it's also a curse. Your head is filled with everything - grand ideas, insufferable worries, and a good deal of angst.

You're uniquely brilliant - and completely misunderstood.
Not like you really want anyone to understand you anyway. You're pretty happy being an island.
Shakespeare, Van Gough , Michaelangelo and Mozart have varying degress of genius.

Rock stars, poets, painters and artists are current pop culture tortured geniuses. The genius of geniuses managed to keep the wolf from the door.

2) 80's gritty and haunted electronic track by Sheffield's Cabaret Voltaire. Ahead of their time and remain timeless. Video by Peter Care incorporates brilliant footage and angle work and the message conveyed is all about choice.

At the same time, provided free breakfasts for children in ghetto areas, (financed by donations from local merchants and wealthy sympathisers), and opened schools and medical centres.

The Black Panthers is a fascinating movement, so challenging and controversial to American culture.
