JESUS OF CLEVELAND

Greetings Hairballers,

The Gazette is pleased to introduce our newest contributor, Jesus (Haysoose) O’Malley.  Jesus plays second base for the Cleveland Cahoots, a AAA ball club, affiliated with the Moose Jaw Blades--a pickup hockey team that gathers when the pond is frozen, which is all the time.

His family fled Ireland, for reasons not discussed, and settled somewhere in Latin America a century ago.  After an arduous journey involving rafts and pickup trucks, O’Malley arrived in Cleveland. 

Known affectionately to his fans as Jesus of Cleveland, he’s a long-ball hitter known for his wisdom.

Right now, Jesus is perplexed that the Teabaggers are screaming at immigrant children, in a language they don’t speak, and using him as their rallying cry.  Could it be that it’s all right to be an illegal immigrant if you can hit home runs?

He also wonders why the Teabaggers chose to name themselves after a sex act.  Maybe there’s more here than meets the eye.

A special Hairball welcome to J of C.
