a) Bobblehead goodness
My SF Giants spam continues to be gold. Those guys are working for a living... just to get all those jaded weeners in SF to come see a ballgame. They seem to have a special affinity to bobbleheads... which I heart. SF Giants 2010 Special Events Calendar

Our first giveaway is SF Zoo Night on Jun 14, 2010... it features this weird Panda-ized Pablo Sandoval bobblehead.


And second is Women's Softball Night on Jun 2. 2010... featuring this Jennie Finch bobblehead:


Now, you may question the SF Giant marketing boys on this Jennie Finch thing, but it's genius. Jennie's a good baseball-ish athlete. She's pretty easy on the eyes. And I going to assume that the gay & lesbian community in SF isn't going to miss out on this event. Huzzah.

b) Amazing stats
Link: Sun Times story - felony crimes in Cook County
These stats about crime in Cook County are messed up.
In Cook County:

• 57% of felony cases were for drugs... the highest ratio for major counties in the US
• Only 9% of felony cases were for violent crimes... the lowest ratio in the US
  

Lots of drug cases in Cook County.
Not many violent crime cases.
Where's Freakonomics when you need them.
Some too-obvious ideas from these weird stats:

1. Lighten up on the flippin' drug laws
   
2. Violent crime happens in tiny slivers within Cook County... focus law enforcement there
   

I know. Fat chance.
bobble bill... yow, bill

PS - This just in! Seattle Mariner spam too... King Felix Train Car Night on Jun 4, 2010!
