Today I was reading "Dear Abby" in the Chicago TRibune. A reader sent in the Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do from Rotary International. The four questions to be asked are:
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned.
Normally, I'd choose to follow these guidelines. I think they have a lot to say about good citizenship, and empathy for others.
But tonight, there's not a chance I can put them in place. Did you see that jerk interfere with play last night at the Cub's game? I'm astounded that Alou was able to control himself. I wouldn't have! I'd have been climbing the wall to take him out!
The Cubs have gone SOooooo LONG without a winning season, and a FAN interferes with play. It doesn't matter that he's a good man, that he does wonderful things for kids, or that he's a friend to all. He distrupted the play, broke the Cub's concentration and opened the door to the Marlins wiping us off the field. He KNOWS the game, and should have known better! Asshat!
The best thing for all involved is for the Cubs to win tonight, and put this behind us!

Now that the Cubs didn't win last night, I worry about that guy getting murdered! If I was him, I'd move out of town, for sure.

I heard the idiot from the baseball game actually had news helicopters circling his house. He may have to move to get some peace and quiet. Like maybe to South Florida?
