James and his Cleveland Cavaliers were beating on my Pistons for a number of years, and I took that personally. Similarly, I was way ahead of hating Michael Jordon and his Chicago Bulls significantly before the world turned on him. (If I\u2019m going to embrace the unpleasant human foible of hating somebody I\u2019ve never even met, well, at least I\u2019m not trendy.) Oh, and I still hate Danny Ainge.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know Bernard Taylor, but I don\u2019t hate him. Taylor is the current (for now) superintendent of Grand Rapids Public Schools. Recently he has been a final candidate for superintendent of some higher profile school systems \u2014 one of which was Cleveland. How ironic! (And by \u201cironic\u201d I mean \u201ccoincidental.\u201d) At this point, the Grand Rapids school board is understandably concerned about Taylor\u2019s intentions and loyalties. So as a favor, I decided to draw a cartoon to warn him of how not to announce his future decisions.<\/p>\n<p>For somebody so apparently hateful, I sure am a nice guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally published in the Grand Rapids Press, June 18, 2011 As a Detroit Pistons fan, it\u2019s important for all of you to know that I was hatin\u2019 on LeBron James long before it became popular.
