Good news for Cubbies!

Yes, my friends...something good, decent, and promising CAN come from Chicago!

RICKETTS FAMILY TO BUY CUBS FOR ABOUT $900 MILLION

"My family and I are Cubs fans," said Tom Ricketts, the family's point person in the Cubs purchase. "We share the goal of Cubs fans everywhere to win a World Series and build the consistent championship tradition that the fans deserve."

Pete Ricketts - brother to Tom - who remains active in Republican politics as a national committeeman, ran an unsuccessful race for the U.S. Senate against Democratic incumbent Sen. Ben Nelson in November 2006. The two combined for the most expensive race in Nebraska history, at $20 million.

I had the privilege to introduce Pete Ricketts during a campaign stop in Southeast Nebraska. Nice guy. Go CUBS!
