Hire Barry Bonds' Generosity

Now we've seen it all.

Since May 21 came and went without the return of Jesus, most people assumed this is not the beginning of the end of days. Something very strange is going on, however, now that an attorney for beaten Giants fan Bryan Stow revealed that Barry Bonds has said he will pay for Stow's young children to attend college.

Stow's attorney, Thomas Girardi, told NBC Bay Area that in April Bonds visited Stow in the hospital for about an hour and left a signed bat for Stow's two kids, who are both in elementary school. Bonds apparently agreed to make the donation about a month ago, but had not made his decision public. Stow is a single father who remains in critical condition more than 1 month after he was savagely beaten by fans at Dodger Stadium in the parking lot after a Giants/Dodgers game.

Are we all wrong on Barry Bonds? Is he just a tortured, misunderstood artist rather than an all-time a-hole? Well, probably not. But apparently he's not all bad, either, and his extreme generosity should be commended. So hats off to you, Barry, just this once.
