Chicago Cubs Owner Joe Ricketts’ Anti-Obama Plot Risks Stadium Growth

[gratuitous]

1. "Only a suggestion for a direction"

I believe many of us remember how Move On got pilloried in 2004 for a couple of entries in their on-line "make your own political ad" promotion in 2004. Oh, it was the end of the United States, for sure! Someone submitted an entry that made a pretty credible case for the Nazi tendencies of the George W. Bush misadministration. The Beltway Insiders rolled out the cushiest fainting couches and the popular media ran for the their finest clutching pearls as the entire coterie indulged a group session of the vapors, aimed squarely at Move On for sponsoring such a contest. How DARE they malign our Commander in Chief! During war time! Mercy!

Of course, Move On was merely putting the contest on, and they promptly removed the offending entries from their website, but the talking chuckleheads have still never quite recovered and Move On remains a by-word for wild-eyed crazed dirty fucking hippies assailing the gates of democracy.

I do not anticipate anything of the sort attending Mr. Ricketts.
