Porky Pig is gone...

Unless you're a lesbian into fat, dumpy bigots then you're happy to see Rosie O'Donnell leave The View. I'm not even sure if Rosie is a woman to tell you the truth. So Rosie announces she's leaving on the air and claims she only wanted one year, but ABC was needing three years and that is the reason she's gone because they couldn't agree to terms. Let me ask you a question: if Peyton Manning was a free agent this year after winning the Super Bowl and he only wanted a one-year contract, would you tell him to fuck off? You would if you're slow. The ratings were up for The View so you can't tell me this was it. If she's bringing in the money then you keep her on a year-to-year basis. The reason she's out is because the woman can't seem to keep her big mouth shut! I mean, how much idiotic drivel did she have to spew before someone said enough? This is a reaction to the whole Imus thing and more to what I call the "pussification" of America. I don't know if it's because she was a gay, white woman or what---she got cut WAY too much slack. Good riddance to this disgusting slob--the next picture I want to see is of Rosie passed out with a Slurpee in her hand and hot fudge dribbling out of her mouth... Just one more thing--arrivederci, fuck chops!

Sometimes you just have to shake your head

Torii Hunter might be in some hot water for a promise he fulfilled. He sent four bottles of champagne to the Royals as a thank you for beating the Tigers last year. The wins at the end of the season gave the Twins, Torii's team, the AL Central title. Here comes the absurd part--he could be banned for three years because this is considered an incentive from one team to another. So let me get this right, baseball...I could offer someone a horse to beat another team and be banned for three years, but I can take some horse steroids and you'll only suspend me 50 games for the first offense. Yeah, this makes a LOT of sense.

Sometimes it's better just to keep your mouth shut

Why do Hollywood types decide once they become famous it's okay to start talking politics? How many of these idiots even finished high school or have even done any kind of research? Just once when a reporter asked them a question it'd be nice if they just said, "I don't pay attention to that shit" or "You know, I can't say one way or another because I haven't read much about it". Wouldn't that be refreshing? I mean, give me a break! These people influence others when it comes time to vote because they figure, "I'm an actor so I guess that means I'm a Democrat." Can that Garofolo chick even read (notice I probably didn't spell her name right, but only because she hasn't done shit in so long she's probably giving blowjobs to execs just to get a job nowadays)? She spouts off without really knowing shit about the social issues. I'm not going to pretend I'm well informed about things, which is why you won't hear me shooting off at the mouth.

I bet Alec Baldwin wishes he'd kept his mouth shut, too. Definitely not the thing to say whether you're famous or not. I gotta say both parents here are SERIOUS whackos in serious need of some assistance. If you believe Kim Bassinger didn't release that voicemail and America is worse off than I thought. Maybe if a hole sucked up both of these people we'd all be better off. Then we could remember them as that happy couple in the movie--ummmm, what was it again? Never mind--it was a good time.

Fat pig Rosie O'Donnell decided to drop a bunch of "F bombs" and shout "eat me" at Donald Trump. Nothing too surprising from this disgusting tub of shit except she dropped all this during a function honoring women. Having Rosie as an example for women is like having Hitler lead your race relations discussion. Doesn't this idiot understand she continues to make a bigger ass of herself each time she opens her mouth? Trump owns this bitch and the sooner she realizes it the better off we'll be and Rosie can go back to eating her gallon of Ben & Jerry's before she tapes the View.

Gun control--an overreaction

In the wake of the VA Tech shootings there have been many people predictably laying blame on the school administration for not locking down the university (excuse me, how many cops do you think they have to seal off every possible entrance to a university campus?). I've heard some say we need to have metal detectors at every building, which is absurd as well. If I wanted to I'd wait for a dead period between classes, walk up, and shoot the security guy before continuing on in the building. This might sound harsh, but in reality it's simply the truth. America is not nor will it ever be completely safe. We can do our best to try and limit damange not just from man-made harm, but also from natural disasters. We have doppler radar and sophisticated equipment yet Hurricane Katrina still wreaked havoc and earthquakes still cause destruction. We have new safeguards in place to try and prevent another 9/11 attack yet someone will decide to crash and aircraft somewhere else with a maximum effect. We have barricades and checkpoints at government buildings to prevent another Oklahoma City, but someone will find a way to make the bomb smaller and safe from detection. We build safer cars yet people still die--some the product of road rage like what happened here in the DC area where a man ran a car off the road and killed two people. If someone decides they're going to kill they're going to do it. Nobody is going to stop them from deciding it's going to happen. But it doesn't mean we leave completely in fear and stay indoors trying to ride out the storm. You might think I'm being a little morbid and have a doomsday mentality, but I'm just being realistic--seems lawmakers don't necessarily live in that world.

So this brings me to two editorials I found on www.cnn.com. The first is from Tom Plate, a professor at UCLA, who believes no one should be allowed possess a gun. You can find the article here. I found his article interesting in the way someone smoking weed might think the world is perfect. He talks about how the tragedy somehow makes it harder for him to be proud of being American--huh? He talks about how people have focused on him being a Korean. I agree there that race has nothing to do with it--this guy was off his rocker and it didn't matter what race or ethnic background he had. Sure, gun violence has seemed to be on the rise. Used to be you'd get into a fight with fists and that was that. Nowadays you have to worry about someone pulling a weapon on you or coming back later to exact some measure of revenge. But I don't think guns caused people to do that--not sure what, but I don't think that was it. I do agree with Mr. Plate the mantra that "guns don't kill people. people kill people" is a tad on the absurd side because someone has to aim the gun and pull the trigger. Mr. Plate tells the story about how he was robbed at gun point by some guy as he was taking groceries inside his house. Let me tell you something, Mr. Plate, that guy probably wasn't someone who went and legally purchased a firearm. And why he brings in the whole Korean thing again at the end makes no sense to me. One person responded to the article by saying guns should be made more difficult to get. Why would you make guns more difficult to get for law-abiding citizens? This lady is out of her mind! How long have we been fighting the war on drugs? We have seizures all the time of drug caches and dole out stiff penalties. And yet people still score drugs. Get real, lady.

Ted Nugent's article with an opposing viewpoint (found here) discusses some of the fallacies with the idea guns should be outlawed. I've got to say I agree. I don't own a handgun, but why not protect yourself if necessary so I don't have a problem with people LEGALLY obtaining a firearm if they so choose. In a response, Doug from Houston TX believes it's absurd to let everyone own a gun because criminals will find a way to gain the upper hand on their firepower. I believe Doug was dropped on his head. Doug, WHY DO YOU THINK CRIMINALS USE GUNS NOW? Because they know you probably don't have one! I can't foresee a criminal trying to be conspicuous with an M-60 under his trench coat waiting to mug someone or taking a chance on robbing someone who might have a weapon themselves. Do you think if cops were unarmed they wouldn't be held at gun point? Please. One guy from New York says we should be able to posses rifles for hunting, but handguns go too far. Ummmm, buddy, what happened was used during the DC sniper scare a few years back? It wasn't a 9 mm.

The next time someone runs over people with their car we're going to start considering bans on vehicles. Knives will be banned the next time some idiot goes around randomly stabbing people. Read Ted Nugent's article and you'll see a couple of other examples he gives. Bottom line, like I said before, people that set their mind to kill people or do harm will find ways to do it. Hopefully law enforcement agencies will intercede, but there's always going to come a time when it is up to a regular citizen--like the assistant principal in Pearl, Mississippi (more examples in Nugent's article)--to put a stop to the carnage.

Odds and ends from the sports world

Unless you've been living under a rock you know that A Rod is off to a shit-hot start to the MLB season. The guy is second fastest to 10 home runs behind Mike Schmidt. He didn't get to 10 last year until late May. 2 of those 10 have been game-winners, which for a noted choke artist like A Rod is a big deal. He's actually been pretty money this year, but this weekend will certainly tell a lot about whether or not he is clutch in the eyes of Yankees fans. This is the first of what will be many series against the Red Sox that will no doubt be overhyped to the extreme by ESPN. If he can get some key hits during the series it's going to be huge for A Rod's confidence. Otherwise, this bastard is going to shrink back into his hole and pout like a little bitch for the rest of the season--and all this from a guy that likes A Rod!


If you're shocked Greg Oden is entering the NBA draft then you were the same moron shocked when that fat pig Rosie O'Donnell came out of the closet. There's no way this guy was going to pass up that much money to play college ball another year. Part of me wishes he had stayed because watching him dominate a bunch of 6'9" "centers" was a bit fun and it would've been cool to see what he could do for a full season with two good hands. Oh well. I still think this guy is probably 35--he's the Danny Almonte of college basketball.


Along with Patrick Ewing, Willie McGee, and Otis Nixon, Kevin McHale was quite possibly one of the ugliest people in sports. As a child I seriously had nightmares about this fug dude. He looked like he was jaundiced on the court and was about to keel over dead at any second. Keeling over dead at any second is what T-wolves fans were thinking when McHale announced he was sticking around for next year. People were excited when he first showed up in Minnesota, but this guy's been all downhill lately with very questionable personnel moves. Looks like the "Fire McHale!" bags will be around for another season.


Some of you might be wondering what this picture has to do with sports. For those of you who have never seen him, this is the picture of Mitch Mustain in the Arkansas football media guide from last year. This dude is a serious little bitch, who it turns out is transferring to USC next month. This guy has got to be the biggest crybaby. When his and some of the other players' parents went straight to the school administration with concerns about playing time, each of the players should have cut their balls off. There was the parent who claimed their son would be hauling in 80+ catches at another school. That guy should've been given a drug test on the spot. I went to Auburn University so I know a thing or two about college football and the fanatical following it has in the South. But this was ridiculous. Houston Nutt will have arguably the best backfield in the country next year with Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. He'd be a complete dipshit to not put the focus on those two guys. Mustain is just another spoiled little punk who bought into his own hype. Here's to hoping that slapdick rides the bench for the rest of his career...

Ummm...yeah...

You might not be able to read this, but if you click on it you can scan it. If you're too lazy to go then I'll tell you it's a Nike ad, which I received in an email. It blabs on about the Rutgers team and the Imus comments. Why? There's a bunch of crap about how it's great for bringing up the Rutgers story, and how we should think before we talk, and that there's another tournament in March. Let me tell you something about this--NOBODY GIVES A SHIT! I'm trying to think of how many people I know actually watch women's basketball and I can't think of any. Nike is right about another tourney in March--the MEN'S tournament! These comments don't push women's sports forward. How many people do you know are going to say, "You know, after those racist and sexist comments, I'm going to watch some women's college softball so I can see a chick who weighs about a deuce-and-a-half squeeze into a pair of size medium spandex shorts!" (Hopefully you don't think I'm being a fattist for those comments) This is ridiculous and I'm done. No more comments until the next poorly veiled attempt at selling some product. I love how Nike's site has a bunch of shit that has NOTHING to do with women's basketball for purchase right below the video. It says, "We're really socially conscious so buy our awesome gear!"

The fall of an icon...

Unless you were gay or had a lobotomy you used to think Britney Spears was one of America's hottest pieces of ass. To borrow a line from www.wwtdd.com, her ass was every teenage boys' target...probably more than just teenage boys. How many of us 20 somethings (back then anyways) had dirty thoughts about this girl we kept private for fear of being arrested and branded as perverts? It's okay, you can raise your hands now--you're around someone who understands. My wife would call her slut and all I could think was, "all the better--less effort required!" I know this might seem wrong and my wife will shake her head in disappointment, but it's true and that's what is so thought-provoking. Once the K-Fed thing happened she went straight downhill. This girl turned into a fat, dumpy redneck who flushed her life down the toilet in a heartbeat. Other hot little pieces of booty stepped up to take her place and American men everywhere rejoiced. A couple of my choices: Christina Aguilera who has gone from hot, to not, to hot again--even if she is married to a guy whose head looks like a caricature--and Jessica Biel. If you haven't seen the preview of the movie she's in with Adam Sandler and Kevin James, you're missing out. Make sure you're alone and have some napkins handy. Trust me, you'll see what I mean.

Ann Coulter is a piece of work

Is anyone except the most fanatical Republican a fan of Ann Coulter? That chick is unreal. I can't imagine how anyone would associate themselves with this waste of air. The things that come out of her mouth probably make liberals salivate with the opportunity to bash conservatives. At the same time conservatives are probably shitting in their pants because of the potential for bad press. I think it goes to show there aren't a bunch of people out on the fringes--much like a bell curve.. This idiot certainly sits out on the edge all alone. Between her idiotic "faggot" comment about John Edwards and then the fact she said the widows of 9/11 firefighters/policemen were out to make money off the tragedy it's a wonder she wasn't found in an alley somewhere with her throat cut. You just can't go around making comments like these and yet somehow this slapdick is still being booked for speaking engagements and selling books. It's why she's never going to be in any kind of position of influence within the Republican party. Howard Dean was cruising along pretty well before the last election until his hyena scream made people wonder how often he was either a) hitting the booze or b) boiling mushrooms. It's always great to have people who are passionate about their and an organization's beliefs, but you draw a fine line between passionate and psychotic. Dean and Coulter are perfect examples of what happens when you drink a little too much of the Kool Aid.

Rosie and Oprah--yep, still two fat asses

Few things get on my nerves, however, these two serious wastes of flesh really get on my nerves. I often wonder how much any of these idiots actually know of what they yap on about. First, Rosie probably has done no research whatsoever into the stuff she fights for. Not to mention she is racist (read my earlier post on Imus for some background). I'm sure this ass clown had a lot to say about this subject while at the same time completely ignoring what she did earlier. I'm sure no one on The View brought it up for fear of being eaten by Rosie in their sleep. This "chick" is a serious whack job and I think if a hole in the earth opened up and swallowed her we'd all be better off than listening to this fat, disgusting pig any longer.

Now, everybody's favorite girl Oprah--I think she might be the devil. How does one woman have so much influence out there? Especially one woman so full of herself. I don't know much about women, but I can't imagine they enjoy another woman who is completely self-absorbed. My wife used to watch this idiot and I'd get caught in the crossfire while she replayed the show. Amazingly, Oprah seems to turn every situation and subject concerning her guests to herself! It's incredible that this woman has somehow had every single experience known to mankind. Then she has the Rutgers women on TV--what a piece of shit ambulance chaser she is. She's no better than Sharpton or Jackson if you ask me. Now she's got a whole show dedicated to the aftermath of the Imus fiasco which I'm sure she'll bring right back onto herself. It's amazing how she has these strong convictions about social issues, but only sometimes stronger than others. A perfect example is the feud between her and 50 Cent. I heard his interview on Howard Stern and even he understands that if it doesn't help her out Oprah isn't going to help you. You think she opened that girls' school in Africa for the kids? If you believe that, I've got some beachfront property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.

Marines to deploy tilt-rotor aircraft to Iraq

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/13/osprey/index.html

I came across this article today and I've gotta say it's a little scary to think this thing will be flying the "friendly" skies of Iraq. The Osprey has been beset by controversy and mechanical problems almost since it was put into production. The program was suspended after the deaths of Marines during testing and now it's been given the green light for combat operations. I'm not saying it's not going to be successful, but it would certainly give me pause.

In addition, the Air Force was recently ordered to relook its award of a multi-million dollar contract for a new search-and-rescue helicopter. The award went to Boeing's HH-47 for the CSAR-X project. There was a lot of protest from Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin after the contract was awarded. If you've ever seen an HH-47 you have to wonder why in the world the Air Force would select this hulking beast for its primary search-and-rescue aircraft. I'm not an operator, but I even I question the soundness of the decision. I don't know who will get the contract or if the HH-47 is the right choice, but if I was a PJ and was heading out to that aircraft for a rescue mission I might say a couple more prayers before getting in that flying target...

Something else while I'm on here, which I found amusing. I will say I don't have any political leanings to either the right or left. I go for the best option, which can drive my wife a little batty at times. What I can say is that politicians are the biggest bunch of ambulance chasers out there. These people don't have any personal opinions--only what their constituents believe even if it goes against their personal attitudes about a subject, which I find very amusing. None more so than this video shows. I think it's hilarious. Here's the link: http://www.bercasio.com/movies/dems-wmd-before-iraq.wmv

One classic back--a few not so much...

Talk about a sight for sore eyes! It's been a LONG time coming for this movie to come back into print (1 May according to amazon.com). I was on the course with a buddy of mine and we started reciting some of the lines from the film. Nothing like Chevy Chase getting the medical exam for some great comedy. The DVD for this went out of print a while backk, which was a serious downer for me considering how great it was and still is. If you haven't seen it then it means you've been in a Siberian prison or you're just too young. Either way, make the effort to see it. Now, this leads me to a couple of films that aren't on DVD that should be. First up is the movie Dead Solid Perfect, which starred Randy Quaid and it's all about golf. I saw this movie when it was an HBO production and thought it was awesome--this was before golf became my mistress. It is right up there with Caddyshack in terms of golf movies. The other movie, which might be even more obscure is Real Men starring the late John Ritter and Jim Belushi. Some pretty dry humor and very stupid/juvenile, which means if you're a male it should be right up your alley.

Great article and a little bit of a hijack on my part

http://www.kansascity.com/182/story/66339.html

My boy the socialist gambler listed this on his site and it was such a great read I thought I'd write about it as well. I also heard part of Jason Whitlock's interview on The Herd on ESPN radio. If you haven't read this article it's certainly worth a read. Goes right to my point of how overblown and offline we've gotten with this issue. Last time I checked there was a white woman on that team. Sexist--yes...racist--maybe...ignorant--without a doubt. I wonder when we're going to get past the same argument we hear every time. His point about Dave Chappelle and others throwing out the racial commentary seen as pure genius was spot on. One example that didn't get much play for whatever reason, but it's the South Park episode where they dropped the N-word about 40 minutes. This is a show written by white guys and black people see it as great social commentary. But call somebody a nappy-headed ho and we've crossed the line. Give me a break.

Kobe Bryant's "greatness"

I'm not going to argue with anyone that Kobe Bryant is an oustanding player. The guy does some amazing things even if he does try to sound a LITTLE too much like His Airness sometimes. So Kobe Bryant puts up 50+ points for the 9th time this season--the most since someone named Michael Jordan and is tied for the third most ever with Wilt Chamberlain who happens to be #'s 1 and 2 as well on this list. That's all well and good, but, um, where do the Lakers stand right now? I think the Lakers have a 1.5-game cushion over the 8th playoff spot in the west. While Kobe is taking 33 shots in the game and being double- and triple-teamed (according to him) his teammates are laying up brick after brick. It takes a team to win and this guy doesn't have that around him. However excited the Lakers were about some of their players this year, that's gone. There's no way these guys make it out of the first round of the playoffs.

Let's start the insanity...

So this is my first time blogging and I've got a LOT to say. Mostly it's like my title says...I seriously think this country is headed down the shitter via first class. The level of political correctness, lack of PE in schools, no keeping score for kids' sports, etc... We are in serious trouble, people. So where do I start? Let's talk about the issues with racism right now all over the news. Let me preface this first by saying I'm Puerto Rican through and through. Is it me or does this country like to choose what racism they want to raise an uproar over and what gets pushed aside. The whole Don Imus thing is ridiculous. If this guy calls a women's team a bunch of ho's and they're all white who is raising a stink? Answer: NOBODY! Imus calls some women nappy-headed yet Rosie O'Donnell can do a shitty imitation of an Asian person and nothing is done and people come to her defense. Where was the uproar over her comments and actions? Who was labeling her a coward? What advertisers were pulling their ads from ABC and The View? Were her actions any less offensive? I don't think so. Where was Jesse Jackson in all of this? The guy is supposed to head up the Rainbow Push Coalition, not the Black Coalition, and not a peep. It's seriously disgusting to me because people (a chosen few) decide on a level of racism and how offended we should be. This really makes me shake my head because of the absurdity of it all. Now let's get back to my two buddies Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson--these two guys are nothing more than ambulance chasers. They will jump at any opportunity to get in front of the camera. How can a guy like Jesse Jackson stand up and protest against racist remarks when the guy call labeled New York City a town with a bunch of Jewish folks (I won't use the term he used)? This guy is just as despicable as the rest of them. Now I'm not going to bash Rutgers women's team except to say I found it humorous people have mentioned they should be celebrated. I challenge you to name five people outside of New Jersey who were still thinking about the Rutgers bball team after they lost in the last game of the Final Four. Nobody outside of the school (maybe) and the families of the team even care about what they did. That's not me being harsh, but just being honest. So here's example #1 of how we're choosing what is racist enough to call an outrage and what blatant examples of racism can be brushed aside because it's not offensive enough. I'm sure if there was a Rev. Al Chang to go with Al Sharpton and a Rev. Jesse Hernandez to go with Jesse Jackson this would be a more balanced world.
