Greetings, loyal minoins. Your Maximum Leader reads in the Washington Post that Major League Baseball is moving closer to awarding ownership of the Washington Nationals to the group lead by Ted Lerner. This move might be hastened along by the statements of DC Council Members Marion (”The bitch set me up” Barry and Vincent (I wanna be the mayor.) Orange. Barry and Orange stated that the Lerner group was “renting blacks” to further their ownship bid.

Apparently the comment isn’t having the intended affect…

Well… Allow your Maximum Leader to restate… If the intended effect of Councilmen Barry and Orange’s comment was to strengthen the resolve of MLB (aka Bud Selig) to award the team to the Lerners; then the statement is working as planned. If however the intended effect of the statement by Barry and Orange was to push Bud Selig nto giving more consideration to other groups with “significant” minority representation; then the statement didn’t work too well.

Frankly, your Maximum Leader is a supporter of the Lerner group. But more importantly, your Maximum Leader wants to see the team get owners as soon as possible. Your Maximum Leader is a thoughtful deliberative type, but the prevarication and delays by Bud Selig are amazing. Selig must be waiting for not just one, but mulitple burning bushes to appear and the Lord God himself give him guidance in this matter.

Bud, if you are reading this, just take the Lerner’s money and be done with it.

Carry on.
