Tom DeLay...My New Prison Pen Pal 1/14/11

NEWS & CURRENT EVENTS
In the wake of the appalling shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in Arizona, Sarah Palin wasted no time in sticking her shovel into what she really shouldn’t comment on considering that, at least at this point, the maniac currently being held without bail is believed to be one of her insane Anti-government minions.
Seriously could this woman be a bigger asshole? First she says that it’s not about her or her followers, then to remind us of this, she sends an e-mail to that other pillar of sanity Glenn Beck, and has subsequently made every TV appearance she could cackling on about how she “hates violence.” So glad to see you are keeping a low profile Sarah. Really? Hates violence, huh? Tell that to the deer you shot for no reason on live television. Just once I would love to see assholes like her, Dick Cheney and Ted Nugent shoot at something that can shoot back. Someone with some military training maybe?
Look I’m sure she didn’t order the shooting from her moose skinned tent, no one with a brain does, but when you use rhetoric in public like “lock and load,” and post electoral map on your Facebook page last year that marked what appeared to be rifle sights on Arizona and other locations, don’t say that you don’t deserve some of the blame for the fact that the yahoos in this country you know you appeal to may react to it. That fact that this woman has the audacity to blame the media is an insult to our intelligence which is nothing new for this woman. When Wolf Blitzer shouts “lock and load” to voters, maybe I will see her point.

Remember this asshole? Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was sentenced to three years in prison on money-laundering and conspiracy charges. Isn’t it only fitting that a man once nicknamed "The Hammer" will be getting just that, and a little extra, by two cellmates named Bubba and Raul?
This is bad news for anyone that is in his former position in the House, because even members of his own party will keep their distance. Which means that new Speaker of the House Jim Boehner (HA! I can’t wait to see the punchlines) has now become the equivalent of Fredo in the Corleone family. Hey Jim, I’d stay away from the fishing boats if I were you!

I will in no way defend Lawrence Taylor or his actions concerning his sex charges, but I will say one thing…there is no way that actual sex occurred if he only received probation. The only way cases like this get knocked down from a Class E felony to a misdemeanor would be if no actual sex occurred. LT you are the greatest defensive football player in the history of the NFL, please remember who you are and use better judgment next time, you are running out of chances. You know, that "Dancing with the Stars" show is supposed to jump start dying careers right? Well it looks like it has gotten an equal number of people arrested. Two in this blog alone!

Hey Yankees, how did that Tom Gordon signing in 2004 work out for you? Exactly! Which is why I am a bit puzzled that you would not only pay Rafael Soriano $35 million over three years, but you would also forfeit a number one draft pick to do so. The Yankees have a pretty good closer already who you might have heard of, so why do this? Who in their right mind pays that much for a set up guy? It’s almost like saving money is a burden for the Yankees, not to mention how bad this looks given today’s economy and the already astronomical ticket prices at Yankee Stadium.

THIS WEEK’S REASON WHY TERRORISTS WANNA KILL US
Ok why the fuck is everyone asking me how to properly pronounce Ophiuchus?
