Scott Brown Kindly Accepts Yankees' Reparation For Babe Ruth In Form of Campaign Donation
Naked Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown has heroically offered his diplomacy services in bringing to a close the bitter century-old rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, in the form of a $2,500 contribution from despised Yankees president Randy Levine to Scott Brown's reelection campaign:
“We’re happy to accept Randy Levine’s donation,” Brown campaign spokesman Colin Reed said. “The way Scott Brown looks at it is, this is their way of paying us back for Babe Ruth.”
Let the healing begin, Boston fans. [Boston Herald]
Sort of OT... I had the opportunity to drive around today listening to a minor league ball game on the radio. It was nice actually...all local advertisers and not a screamer in the lot. That is until I heard about a donation program being sponsored by TD Bank North called Strike Out Cancer where they would donate $10 to SOC for each <i>strikeout</i>. Not strike...each strike out. So, by the time I left the car, TD Bank was on the hook for <b>80 whole dollars!</b>
Really TD Bank? You couldn&#039;t have given them $10 per strike? Or even $5 for each time a player adjusted his jock? You couldn&#039;t sidle up to SOC and say, &quot;hey, here&#039;s 20 large to help find a cure for cancer, but keep it on the downlow, k?&quot;
Hell, you still could have written it off your taxes, but noooo, you had to use this tiny sum to trumpet your name to potential customers. Ooooh, look at how generous TD Bank is! The must really &quot;care&quot; about <strike>cancer</strike> their bottom line.
Fuckers.
More of a wally thing IMO.
