NEW YORK - Just how much are the Yankees willing to pay for the peace of mind CC Sabathia is giving them? This is no hypothetical question - the Big Man will be exercising the opt-out clause in his contract this winter, only not because he intends to leave the Bronx. Instead, Sabathia will play the role of smart businessman, who's got enough leverage to crush the Bombers into a fine powder. So if he's making $23 million a year now, what's Sabathia's worth when it's multiplied by the Yankees' realization that no one possibly could replace him? The Steinbrenner family is running the software on those very numbers, although the more relevant issue is whether the Bombers would benefit from beginning the negotiation today, even if it means breaking with club policy.
In the Republican presidential candidates debate Monday night in Tampa, CNN's Wolf Blitzer posed a hypothetical question. Normally, a hypothetical question should not be answered, but in this case it revealed something about the questioner and sparked a controversial, but necessary answer from Rep. Ron Paul. For those watching the two Monday Night Football games, the question was: "A healthy 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides, you know what? I'm not going to spend $200 or $300 a month for health insurance because I'm healthy, I don't need it. But something terrible happens, all of a sudden he needs it. Who's going to pay if he goes into a coma, for example? Who pays for that?

We heard plenty of contradictions, distortions and untruths at the Republican candidates' tea party debate, but we heard shockingly little compassion -- and almost no acknowledgment that political and economic policy choices have a moral dimension. The lowest point of the evening -- and perhaps of the political season -- came when moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Ron Paul a hypothetical question about a young man who elects not to purchase health insurance. The man has a medical crisis, goes into a coma and needs expensive care. "Who pays?" Blitzer asked.

Four of the five candidates for the Columbia Board of Education would cut a music program rather than a trade program if faced with the choice, they told about 50 people last night at a forum. The hypothetical question was asked at a forum hosted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Second Missionary Baptist Church on Broadway.
What's tougher -- running 26.2 miles and winning the New York City Marathon, or staging the New York City Marathon with H1N1 flu? This is not a hypothetical question.

What would you think if members of Congress voted to require the U.S. military to forgo purchases of most of Canada's oil and thus be forced to increase their dependency on Saudi Arabian produced oil? As bizarre as it may seem, this is not a hypothetical question but precisely what Congress did in passing the falsely named "Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Chairman Henry Waxman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee wrote a letter to Chairman Jeff Bingaman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on March 17 of this year, detailing the "proper interpretation" of the Act.
