Oh, joy! The Seattle Clippers. My fearless prediction: Steve Baldy will try to soak regional taxpayers for a new stadium.

After we were financially raped by his buddy Paul Allen for the Seahawks scam and before that the Mariners mansion, I suspect Steve will have a tough row to hoe. I propose a gang of sworn ninja graffiti artists to avenge another outrageous sports giveaway that occurs.

We don't need it; it won't create useful jobs or build schools or a single mile of highway. The only upside if public financing sneaks in will the option to call any stadium The Clip Joint.
