The people speak: "Bud Selig must stop killing children."

One of the neatest things today is the evolution of street picketers into Ginsberg poets of the times. Used to be, they'd wave dull, unreadable signs aimed at ridiculous concepts, such as child care or safe work conditions. Meh, the media would say. Get a job, hippies.

Today, if you're going to hike in the hot sun and risk melanoma for five dollars an hour, you want it to be for a cause with panache: Neuter the Pope, Impeach David Letterman, or Canned Food for A-Rod's Children. You're not going to hold up a placard that says, "Cut Taxes." Screw that. You're going to say, "MY UNBORN CHILD IS BEING RAPED BY OHITLERCARE'S DEATH PANEL!" Or, in this modest case, "BUD SELIG IS A CHILD KILLER."

These good ladies - clearly diehard Yankee fans - popped up yesterday outside the A-Rod trial. God bless 'em. Anything less than "Child Killer" would have garnered no media. They might as well have stayed home and watched Dr. Phil. So they played the Child Killer Card.

Yes, thank God there are still people out there willing to tell the truth about Selig's brutal serial murders of children in the Milwaukee area throughout the 1970s and 1980s. You'd think the lamestream media would bring it up now and then. Ah, but you know how it goes: Mr. Green pays Mr. Brown, and Mr. Brown pulls the strings of Mayor McCheese, and nobody sez nuthin. Fortunately, these truth-tellers came through - assuming that they are not employees of Banksy.

A-Rod's trial continues daily in Manhattan. Until it's decided, the Yankees can't even figure out what to do for their team. Maybe, by spring, Selig - the monstrous child killer - will be brought to justice. Bud Hitler, anyone?
