The Merging of Politics and Baseball

My mom, a die-hard Cubs fan, skipped out on the game tonight to see Michael Beschloss, the famous American historian and best-selling author, speak at Purdue. But instead of asking him about the election, Palin's idiotic remarks, the bailout, etc., she asked him about....the Cubs! Apparently Beschloss' kids warned him that no one would show up to his talk tonight because of the game. My mom proved them wrong and Beschloss said he couldn't wait to share the info with his kids.

This is the woman who raised me.
