About that petition...

We despise Marlins owner Jeff Loria as much as the next Marlins fan, but petitioning the Obama administration to force a sale of the team (a federal action which just can't be constitutional) seems like a dumb waste of time...

"Please force Marlins owner Jeff Loria to sell," a petition at whitehouse.gov reads. "He has lied to the people of Miami and used tax funded money." The petition was created on Tuesday. ... The petition has not exactly caught fire. As of Wednesday morning, only nine people had signed the petition. The petition needs 100,000 signatures by Feb. 21 to elicit an official response from the White House.

If you think this is an effective use of your time (and really think the federal government can spare the time and resources for such a dumb request), then we'll just back away slowly while you rant...
