I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

by Brad Warbiany

On June 23, minor-league baseball’s Brooklyn Cyclones will become the Baracklyn Cyclones.

Now, discounting my internal BS meter that suggests that this could be a slight hoax (albeit not one that I care to spend much time fact-checking), I see that they’re apparently minor-league when it applies to semantics as well. One of the festivities:

Universal Health Care: Free Band-Aids to the first 1,000 fans

The first 1,000? That hardly seems universal, now doesn’t it? I’d call that “rationing”.

  1. Brad, your are misconstruing this… almost to the point of making a cheap political smear. The Band-Aids are **universally** available to the first 1,000 fans. Regardless of their income. So it’s fair.

    Why do you hate poor people? Stop being so negative and get on board with the program.
