There’s a very interesting story developing around the failure of the Cubs ground crew last Tuesday. The Cubs cut hours to avoid paying health insurance for those employees, as many business did to game Obamacare.

Now owner Tom Ricketts is holding a party for employees, according to the satirical web site eTrueSports:

“We may not see eye-to-eye on issues like health care or a living wage or Obama’s birthplace,” said Ricketts, “but who doesn’t like dogs and burgers with all the fixings? The entire Ricketts family is so proud to welcome our workers to the first of what we hope will be several Cubs Employee Appreciation Barbeques. All the chow will be served in the tent behind the servants quarters, right next to the Port-o-Potties. Dig in!”

“Tom’s nicer than his father,” sighed an employee, who requested anonymity before speaking to eTrueSports because he feared for his life.

Unintended consequences are a bitch.
