From Batgirl's esteemed colleague Ball-Wonk:
I hope you will wander over to Ball Wonk and cast your vote for a new name for the ex-Expos. As a former member of the Twins Party, I am doing all I can to encourage the members of my caucus to consider a non-Senatorial name. The Washington Senators heritage belongs in Minnesota (and to a lesser extent, Texas), not Washington. Besides, giving Washington a third Senators franchise is quite obviously unconstitutional; according to Article I, Section 3, each state gets only two Senators. We Washingtonians tend to be the less creative older siblings; we're the bossy ones who always know what's right and therefore moved to DC, not the thoughtful, imaginative ones who wound up living in Austin or California or Minnesota. Therefore we need outside help in naming our new team! Help from our metaphorical smarter younger siblings. Like BatGirl and her sharp-as-tacks readers. You might, therefore, encourage other members of the BatGirl caucus to vote in the open primary at www.ball-wonk.com for a non-Senators name, both to help us find the best moniker and to help preserve Minnesota as the natural home of the Senators legacy.Posted by Batgirl at October 20, 2004 10:48 PM
