NEWS & CURRENT EVENTS
I really don’t think that New York Governor David Patterson is a bad guy, just not a very effective governor. Now given how he got the job in the first place, by having to replace a hooker loving predecessor forced to resign in disgrace, he does deserve some slack. However, when more than one camp is calling for former Gov. Eliot Spitzer to make a comeback, you must really suck.
Spitzer, who has increased his media presence lately by writing editorials, and showing up on Realtime with Bill Maher, still says he has no plans to run for office again. Too bad, because I never saw anything he did that made him unfit for office, and given how Wall Street has run amok with our money quicker than Lindsay Lohan with someone else’s credit card, someone once known as the “Sheriff of Wall Street” wouldn’t be a bad choice right now would he? Seriously how many of the Puritanical hypocrites who called for his resignation would turn a blind eye if they knew he would get them their 401ks back?Speaking of which, looks like the debate for financial reform is actually going to start in our lifetime. Isn’t it nice to see a President who is pro-active about something other than killing people?

Once again it’s the beginning of the baseball season, once again the Yankees are hurt, and once again fans are needlessly panicking. It’s May, relax. Although it’s not too early to complain about sloppy play in the field (right Marcus Thames?) and about the bullpen not being able to hold big leads in late innings. Now, the last thing any Yankee fan wants to do is have to worry about Mariano Rivera, so let’s just decide not to do it.
THIS WEEK’S REASON WHY TERRORISTS WANNA KILL US
I have a bigger emotional investment in my laundry detergent than I do who the fuck wins the Miss USA Pageant, until of course, something entertaining happens, and this is one of those times…In a pageant that has seen it’s share of retards who can’t find their own state on a map, sex tape and alcoholism scandals, with a touch of homophobia thrown in, it’s nice to see the latest winner, Rima Fakih is keeping the tradition alive in her own way. Looks like this sweet, innocent Muslim girl offended some of her community by appearing in a beauty contest in a bikini and lingerie; something frowned upon by the more conservative religious Muslims. Well I wonder what the reaction will be when they find out about
her first ummm ”victory” in the Mojo in the Morning 2007 Stripper 101 Contest. Prizes included sex toys and her very own stripper pole, something no modern home should be without! Now let’s just hope no one gets their turban in a flap over this, and if she’s lucky, the only stoning involved will be with a huge bong.Now I have nothing against a hot Arab chick (or any hot chick for that matter) in a bikini. My problem isn’t with the conservative Muslim community’s reaction to this girl. My problem is with conservative America’s reaction …Debbie Schlussel, conservative blogger and self-titled expert on "radical Islam" and "Islamic terrorism," (where she achieved said expertise remains to be discovered) claims that "Intelligence sources have confirmed at least three of Rima Fakih's relatives are currently top officials in Hezbollah and that at least
eight Fakih family members were Hezbollah terrorists." Intelligence sources? Is she fucking kidding with this? She goes on to write that her campaign was even financed by members of the terrorist group. Now I have no idea who this Schlussel wanna-be is, I just thought her opening headline “Terrorist in a Bikini” was kinda funny in a ridiculous, misinformed and ignorant sort of way. But it is this type of thinking that really does reach a new level of American stupid.

Q: "Seriously how many of the Puritanical hypocrites who called for his resignation would turn a blind eye if they knew he would get them their 401ks back?"
ReplyDeleteA: All of them.
- Worrying about the Yankees in May is not something I partake in. Having said that, this team is slightly inferior to the '09 team--who exactly is replacing both Damon and Matsui's bats?--which wouldn't be that much of a deal if it weren't for the fact that the Rays are having an almost '84 Tigers/'95 Mariners/'98 Yankees kinda year. But yeah, it's still early.
As for Mariano, I'm not concerned about the immediate future but for what lies down the road. The great Mo is awesome but he's 40 years old, and while he says he wants to pitch 5 more years, I wouldn't bet the farm on his being able to do so. The Yankees need to start grooming an heir apparent and not wait until the inevitable happens. I was hoping it would be Joba, but...I dunno.
- Debbie Schlussel is Glenn Beck in drag. Now you know.
Haha, I think the only reason why any chick would have the need to harrass a guy on the subway would be precisely cause she probably looked like Gen. Omar Bradley.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Gov Patterson is not a bad "guy" just a bad "governor"...he really needs to go.
Wow it's so sad how every time a girl wins a pageant the haters have to go out and search for some dirty laundry. So she offended some of her community by appearing in a beauty contest in a bikini and lingerie? Well every other muslim girl that participated in a pageant has, and she won a strip pole contest but she did keep her clothes on. It's so fucked up how it's broadcast all over just because she's Miss USA now. Then that shit about her affiliation to terrorists...hmmm is it Debbie Schlussel or Debbie Schussel? It should probably be Schussel cause in German Schussel is what you call a "Birdbrain".
Nick Johnson was supposed to replace Damon in the lineup. Hard thing to do from the disabled list. Eventhough, the offense is scoring runs, it's the bullpen that can't seem to hold leads. I would have thought after all those off season moves they would have solved that problem.

- These are the type of comments I live for.
"Nick Johnson was supposed to replace Damon in the lineup. Hard thing to do from the disabled list."
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. If that was Cashman's true goal, to replace a proven hitter w/one DL stay in his lengthy career with an injury-prone, OK hitter is one of the dumbest moves I've seen in a while. (And, I called it when he signed him, btw.)
I'm not a Cashman hater, but, really?
