Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was standing up in that little cramped “bar” area of Sardi’s in New York last friday night watching the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series. It made him feel good. As a National League man he was happy to see the real league pull one out against those poseurs in the American League (with their emphasis on the long ball and that silly designated hitter thingie).

So congratulations St. Louis… You’ve won the World Series. Now presumably many of the players are going to Disneyland… If only to escape the rampant crime in St. Louis.

Okay… Sad joke… Made sadder in that it’s been told before by a much more clever writer.

Your Maximum Leader will wager you something… St. Louis will not be at the top of that list next year… Because the way they report crime statistics will change dramatically…

Carry on.
