Will we ever find a cure for clown disease?

Maybe, once Nixon was elected, he defunded all government research into the cure and we're only now recovering.

ACA requires all health care plans to cover treatment for Clown Disease. It was a pre-existing condition for the Ricketts, so they chose a plan that didn't cover it. But now, it looks like they will get it covered so there will be hope for Theo and Jed. Problem is, Todd is the guy in charge of navigating the healthcare exchange website.

Todd's also the president of the Ending Spending SuperPAC. That and his bike shop.

I dunno, but if you tug on it, it leads to an endless series of knotted handkerchiefs.

Too descriptive. I think it would have been something more like "One that sprays water."

I don't understand this fixation on the Cubs' attendance. When the Ricketti hired Jepstink, they bought into the fact that a complete gutting of the organization would mean last place finishes and a drop in attendance. They have compensated for this by cutting payroll.

The drop in attendance isn't a failure, it's the cost of a rebuild.

it's hardly a Wirtzian reaction - this isn't people staying away until someone dies.

The Cubs will eventually, the odds say, put together a decent ballclub. If they're even remotely competitive by the time school gets out the place will be packed every damn day.

It's actually amazing that a team as bad as the last 2 years have anyone showing up.

It's still bizarre to me though, people were okay when the team was bad due to the incompetence of the front office, but now that the team has been bad by design, they're upset.  I guess Cubs fans don't mind the shit sandwich as long as you tell them its chocolate.

You guys: I've been thinking. It's entirely possible that Cubs fans are actually pretty dumb.
