Being Dealt With

I know you only read this blog to see pictures of my family, but I can't help but pass along this juicy quote.  As a sports fan, I sometimes wonder at the control exercised by the commissioners in the NBA and NFL.  (It is bad, but not as bad, in MLB.)  Yesterday, in announcing a $100,000 fine of an owner for saying the wrong thing, NBA commissioner David Stern said, "[T]hat was not something that Ted was authorized to say and he will be dealt with for that lapse in judgment.”  Part of me recoils at how un-American that sounds.  The other part of me wishes this sort of accountability could be imposed on our government officials.
