<i>Maybe some of you Illinois Wonketters can help us understand how this Wrigley Field renovation is politically viable.</i>

apparently if we didn't have the fucking cubs - snarling up the entire fucking north side of the city every other afternoon from april until fucking september we wouldn't have a sufficient quota of momma's little meat heads barfing on the fucking curb on clark street and yelling gay slurs while YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET TO THE FUCKING THEATRE FOR YOUR 6:00 CALL - our economy would be fucked.

yeah, this is pretty amusing. and sure as hell more interesting than the non stop nato street closure coverage we've been subjected to.

Perhaps Mr. Ricketts can redeem things with the advertising strategy I've proposed in "The Defeat of the Chicago Hussein Cubs". It's kinda easy since (I'm told) the Cubs are self-defeating.

Down here in little Austin, Texas, I recall when a particular City Councilman attempted to make an emergency funding declaration to build the junior league team of the Texas Rangers a stadium. It pissed off so many people that petitions were signed and a ballot initiative was passed that told City Council that we local yokals were not building anyone a sports stadium. We also voted out said douchbag Councilman.

Round Rock decided they wanted the baseball stadium, and they funded it with tax dollars. The locals are pissing an moaning over there property taxes now that they want to spend another $35 million on some "upgrades."

Fuck everyone of these sports team owners. They can go talk to Mitt about setting up their own financing, since Mitt really cares about helping build the economy.
