The Great American Pastime

Softball Season means the putting aside of political difference to come together in a celebration of drinking and pretending you’re still in college. It doesn’t necessarily mean the putting aside of other predjudices, as this email from an LA to Senator Larry Craig shows.
Since the team moniker was “The Tribe,” I just assumed that [AIPAC] meant “American Indian Political Action Committee.” But when The Tribe took the field, there were no war cries, no war paint, and they were wearing baseball jerseys instead of bird bone body armor and buffalo-skinned loincloths. Instead, there were semi-nerdy folks of all shapes, sizes, with little battle preparation. I soon learned that “AIPAC” really stood for “American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee.”
Haha, good one! Hope you got out of there with your scalps still attached! Hey guys, who brought the twelve-pack of firewater?
Oh, wait, they were Jews? There wasn’t any money on the game, right? ‘Cause good luck collecting from them!
Full email, after the jump.
