[USML Announce] Ask Brad

[Brad Jansen]

Dear AGF:
   Your mistake is trying to be a friend to your child, not a parent.
You're a PARENT, dadgummit, now act like one.  Lock him in the basement.
Regards,
Desperately Trying To Find A Ticket For Today's Sox Game,
Brad Lee

P.S. to Cub Fans:  *Your *next game is 4/9/09. Astros. Good luck with
that one.
