Ever look up at the NBA highlights on TV and wonder: “Hey, who are the Oklahoma City Thunder and where did they come from?”
The answer is that the Thunder are what used to be the Seattle Supersonics, a middling franchise that finally wound up its tenure in Grunge City after the sour relationship between the millionaire players and the billionaire owner made it impossible to function.
The last Seattle owner, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, got so frustrated, he sold the team to a group of investors from Oklahoma City.
But, depending on how things go Friday, it might as well be so. After all, how can you have a team called the Supersonics after all the Boeing plants move somewhere else?
More than 30,000 Boeing workers, who belong to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union, in Washington State and Oregon vote Jan. 3 on whether or not they keep their jobs or their company closes its plants in the area and moves on.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
