        @WSJ should have said minus taxes. Point is that one would think clippers sale will generate a lot of tax revenue for fed and California.

        @WSJ Ballmer has apparently been on the hunt for a sporting team. #Vanity project? He's got the money backing, at least.

        @WSJ How evil to waste money in that fashion. People of the world need help, and he's spending his wealth in a frivolous manner. Disgusting.
