BASEBALL IS AS AMERICAN AS WAR PROFITEERING

The New York Yankees decided to cash in on the war on terror last week by implementing a plan to ban sunscreen from its baseball stadium despite temperatures of 96 degrees Fahreinheit and a UV index of a brain-boiling nine out of 10. While security guards used the excuse of the threat of terrorist to confiscate garbage bags full of the fans’ sunscreen bottles, the concession stand at Yankee stadium added insult to injury by offering up one ounce bottles of wimpy SPF 15 sunscreen for five bucks.
