Time to really clean up some old stuff....let's get to the rambling
My crazy thoughts brought to you by Boylan's Grape Soda (DEEEEEElicious)
Can we somehow find a way to take the people that don't flush the toilet at work and give 'em a swirlie? Too much? Too gross? Flush the damn toilet, this ain't your house!!
Words/Phrases that I think we should all punch the person that says them:
"Help me understand"
"Does that make sense?"
"Actually"
"Basically"
"Litrally/Literally" (a punch to the groin if they say it the 1st way...jagoffs)
Is there anyway I, as a citizen of Denver County, can sue or impeach my mayor and governor for failing to uphold their responsibilities regarding this Occupy movement? A million bucks? And these assholes didn't even spring for a permit to organize a rally? Tell you what-maybe I'll try camping out at Civic Center Park next summer, and when I'm given a ticket, when my day in court arrives I'll just state I'm an Occupier and the city, county and state can front the bill? Why am I so upset about these people taking money from other services...gee, I wonder. Oh, that and these snot nosed brats decided to compare themselves to the Tea Party. You couldn't be more wrong, hipster-doofus. The Tea Party filled out permits, had their rally, and cleaned up after themselves. What did we get with the Occupy protests? Let's see, there's ringworm, disease, trash, rats, drugs, drug paraphenalia, feces everywhere (including on top of a cop car) and lest us not forget the biggest one-sexual assault. That's going to be the one that gets swept under the rug, mark my words. It will be under-reported and barely spoken about; how many young women went to this to be a part of something and were part of some sort of disgusting act. Don't get me wrong, some of these women put themselves in harms way and didn't think things thru. By no means am I excusing the behavior of a rapist, but like I would tell any woman I know, think it thru, please. Don't become a statistic.
Speaking of the Occupy movement, I agree with 97% of what Adam Carolla
is saying here.
If this is the holiday season, why are people acting like such dicks to their fellow man?
Politics (or some facsimile thereof)Obama claims he's the
4th best President ever? You gotta be crappin' me.
I'm not a huge Newt Gingrich fan (it's kinda hard when you leave two sick wives), but I do appreciate him
calling out 'Palestinians'. I'm going to a great friend's house for dessert Christmas night, I won't bring this up, I swear.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could find his own ass if you gave him two hands and a map. Hey Harry,
government regulations kill business, just like all the other programs you knuckleheads in DC come up with. Get outta the way and let smart people do some things.
The Ft. Hood Massacre has been classified as 'workplace violence'? Wow.
The weakness of this administration and cow-towing is embarrassing. Remember this when your kids are taking poli-sci class 20 years from now. Sorry, but the Muslim who was in contact with a known terrorist cleric murdered 13 people, screaming 'Allah Akbar'...workplace violence happens when you steal someone's sammich from the fridge, or sleep with someone's wife (seen both beatdowns happen). It was a terrorist act. The faster we admit that people want us dead in this country, the faster we can have a real discussion.
SPORTSPenn State-it just keeps getting uglier and uglier, doesn't it?
Here's the loophole that will probably get folks out of trouble (Not you Sandusky. You'll get yours, I hope). Thx to Deadspin.
ESPN has some 'splainin' to do. Here's my disclaimer, again:
I am a huge Syracuse fan. I was accepted to the school, couldn't afford to go. I'm glad I couldn't. I have two of the best friends a guy could ever ask for because of where I went to school. I have no regrets in that regard. Now, thanks to 2 websites,
Deadspin.com and
Troy Nunes is An Absolute Magician, I keep up with what the real dirt is on the goings on at Da 'Cuse. Crud, another disclaimer:
a little over a year ago, I applied for a writing position with Deadspin, and was rightfully told, in so many words, 'No'. I say rightfully now, because I didn't realize how right the editor was/is. I have no reporting chops. I sit at my desk listening to old skool hip-hop trying to make sense of the craziness that is the world. I still love sports, but my life will go on if I miss a game.
So why do I state ESPN has some things to sort out for the rest of us?
This. That and ESPN reporter Mark Schwartz may have put accusers #1 and #3 in contact? Where in the world is the head of ESPN firing Schwartz for creating a story, clearly going over and past the lines of journalistic integrity? Oh wait, they're 'the worldwide leader'...I swear if I didn't need them to watch damn near every game I'd cancel my cable subscription. I should also mention former ESPN employee Jason Whitlock, as he writes so nicely about the
motivation of the media, and some of the
plain faults of the media. Now, a 4th man has come forward with the allegation of sexual abuse of former asst. coach Bernie Fine. Now, let's talk about the 4 alleged victims?:
Accusers 1 & 2 have hired Gloria Allred and gone on the news show circuit. Hmmm, hiring the same lady who makes sure she bilks people out of money. Oh, and they sued Syracuse University and Jim Boeheim for defamation of character. Not Bernie Fine, the guy that allegedly sexually abused them. Anyone else find this odd? The
3rd guy that accused Fine has been deemed less than credible by the DA. And the 4th one, he's pretty much already been dismissed-he claims Fine paid him $300 to perform homosexual acts 6 or 7 years ago. This man is currently 56. Sorry pal, but if someone pays you to blow them and you're 50, you're performing legally what is known as prostitution. Since this guy is already in jail, he seems to have some holes in his story.
I'm no lawyer, but if you're Fine's lawyer, couldn't you create 'reasonable doubt' on all of these.
Let's see what ESPN does with perennial 'Sports Reporters' guest Bill Conlin. In case you haven't heard, Mr. Conlin is being accused by 4 people of sexual abuse some 40 years ago. Please take the time to
read this link, I thought it was fascinating.
On to more sports,
anyone else think it was ridiculous that the commissioner of a sport put the kibosh on a trade, 'for the better of the game'? David Stern can spin it anyway he wants, I call bull on this deal. The fact that Chris Paul didn't get to go to the Lakers made me giggle-Chris, that's karma for punching someone in the nuts on the court back in college.
Speaking of more college hoops, w
hat happened between Xavier and Cincinnati was disgusting. The penalties handed out were even more pathetic. Someone that stomps on a man while he's down in a sporting event should be charged with assault, while we're at it.
Hey Earl Bennett,
how dare you try and match your team's uniform!
I want a
hat and a t-shirt for this team...it looks badass. Nice work Canada!!
Random200 lbs of weed? Yeah, I think you were gonna sell it, Key-lo.
Good.
I'm glad people are going to sue some companies for not even looking at them. Having been unemployed, there was nothing more disheartening than hearing that I wouldn't be looked at because I didn't have a job. I'm not sure if the adage that it's easier to get a job when you have one, but there may be some truth to it after researching things.
Lest any of you think that the holiday spirit isn't alive and well, I leave you with this
awesome story of an NFL team donating a home to the widow of a soldier.
Every time I get upset, go on a rant like a lunatic, I get reminded that there is still good in the world. Like that story.
I'm off to bed, I'll get more in tomorrow.
