OK, now that I've got everyone's attention, hear me out. All this talk of fairness and wealth distribution has got me thinking. Here are some indisputable facts:
The Yankees have won 39 pennants in the past 100 years.
The Cubs have won 7.
The Yankees have won 26 World Series in the past 100 years.
The Cubs have won none.
It gets worse. :cry2:
The Yankees have won 25 pennants and 16 World Series since 1945.
The Cubs? Zero on both counts.
HOW FREAKING FAIR IS THAT!!??
As a life long, long suffering, poor wittle Cubs fan (spare me the snide remarks-I've heard them all) here's what I'm thinking: If Obama would promise to take one of those World Series titles away from the Yankees and give it to the Cubs, JUST ONE, I might vote for him. Heck, I'd just about sell my soul for one, lousy, stinking World Series title. What's one vote in a state he's gonna win anyway?
Think about it. In a few years, I could take my grandchildren to a Cubs game, proudly point to the champioship banner flying over Wrgley Field, and tell them their grandpa played a part in it. Just thinking about it's got me all teary eyed.
