NADER UPSET OVER UNIFORM ADS
May 4, 2004

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presidential candidate Ralph Nader called the advertisements on uniforms during major league baseball's season-opening series an ``obscene embarrassment'' and sent a letter of protest Tuesday.

``This overcommercialization is sapping the fun out of being a fan of major league baseball,'' Nader wrote in his letter to commissioner Bud Selig. ``Now, you have sunk to a greedy new low.''

The ads appeared on the uniform sleeves and caps of the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays during their two-game series in Tokyo on March 30-31.

While the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs wore similar ads when they played in Tokyo in 2000, and baseball said in advance that the Yankees and Devil Rays would wear patches, Nader said the ads this year ``ambushed fans across the country and left them shaking their heads at this obscene embarrassment.''

& occupation.

The hot button issue that both Kerry and Bush are trying to minimize discussion of.

they started playing commercials at movie theaters?

...anti-immediate withdrawal?

That's how I characterize myself. We can't just LEAVE right now. We have to find a way to hand off this miserable occupation to another body with more legitimacy.

1. Bush: Wants to stay at all costs.
2. Kerry: Wants to leave, but realizes we can't do it right now or else we'll be REALLY f'd up in the future.
3. Nader: Wants to leave at all costs.

I pick number 2, thank you.

Not fair to leave the country in the state it's in, probably into full-scale civil war. Also not fair to stay and occupy it. We need to do something in between...

Now, if someone could just remove him from our asses, I would greatly appreciate it.

hmmm anti-war and folksy. We might be in trouble here.

Good point. What's Kerry's platform on the state of professional baseball?
