A LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

          We are looking for black holes in the wrong place.  Instead of scanning the cosmos, we should be searching inside the heads of our local politicians, where good ideas cannot escape the gravitational pull of ignorance.

          “Duh, let me see.  The NBA is down 17% in both attendance and gross income.  The TV audience is going down like the Titanic and the bottom is no where in sight.  What to do?  I’ve got a great idea!  Let’s spend $200 million and build a basketball stadium in downtown Louisville.  And what do we get for our money?  We get to invest in a failing venture and we get the super colossal losers of all time, the Vancouver Grizzlies who win less than 30% of their games.  Yup, that’s the solution to our economic problems.  And the really good news is that it won’t cost the tax payers anything if the Grizzlies triple their attendance and maintain the increase for 21 years.”

 

Sincerely yours
