It's Not Funny

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/20100121_Daniel_Rubin__It_was_no_joke_at_security_gate.html

Well I guess we shouldn't be too suprised that a government TSA employee is dumb, but this guy should burn.

The Children! The Children!

I'm am sure you have been driving before and seen the blinking light indicating that everyone must now drive 15mph. You see children are about to attend school and you should be careful to not hit a precious child. "Hey! I don't see any children! I am late to work and I can't make it through this light because everyone has slowed down because a cop is sitting here making sure everyone obeys the blinking speed limit." Exhales...
It doesn't matter that there is not a child in sight. Crazy, unemployed parents who drive their kids to school want you to slow down because of the children. Pay it no mind that this school is on a very busy street and the speed limit just went from 40mph to 15mph. If a psycho parent yells loud enough, she gets her way, regardless of whether or not she is right. Sounds kind of like a 4 year old right?

Mummers Suck

I am a hater of parades in general because I don't see the point. I have a particular displeasure with the Mummers. People bitch about the Mummers threatening to not having enough funding and that the city should pay for. A few of these people never bother to attend the parade and the cost is extreme. "As of 2008, the parade cost the city over $1 million each year, including $750,000 for police and parade services and $360,000 in prize money. The 2008 budget crisis has led the city to propose closing numerous libraries and firehouses and the scaling back of expenditures for the parade, offering $300,000 for the 2009 parade and nothing for 2010." Nothing sounds about right. The people who wan this parade to continue can pony up the money themselves, the tax payer should not be responsible. I implore parade watchers to tune into the Parade of Roses on TV for their parade fix and to watch college football. I understand the Mummers go way back, but to me its a bunch of fairies prancing around. I approve of the parade's existence so long as it does not tax the locals. If the Mummers want to continue to do what they enjoy its time to pay to play.

Earn your Dog Tags

It is all too common to find hip hop artists and wannabe kids from the suburbs wearing fake military tags around their neck. First of all, Fuck You! It's not a fashion statement, you have to earn those dog tags by fighting and risking your life for your country. Your posing as a veteran and it is offensive to those who served. The same dog tags that are taken off soldiers dead in war to give to their families are being worn by (Insert random rapper) or white suburban kid who thinks he's tough. Either earn your tags or don't wear them.

"Ain't going to be no rematch"

The prospect of a Big Ten Title game has me thinking of Michigan and Ohio State in late November. A rematch between the two teams or any rematch of any kind has me vomiting. Conference title games are rarely necessary in the present format and would likely not be necessary at all of you played every team in your conference. The last time the Big Ten had a controversy over who got the top bowl slot was in 1998 when a three way time between Michigan, Ohio State, and Wisconsin saw the Badgers go through despite not playing Ohio State and losing to Michigan. It's obviously only about money. The Big Ten apparently no longer has stones to stand apart from the pack. The conference already gates more than any other conference in the country yet they need a little more dough. Welcome to the further deteriation of college football. If the 12th team is not Notre Dame it's bad for college football.

Mob Sucks

In our culture there is a glorification of mobsters, wise guys, and made men. They are celebrating in the Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, and the Sopranos to name a few. I am not saying these films and show are not good, I just feel that they are celebrating and that it's cool to act like the Mafia. How many derilicks do you know that think they are tough or act Mafioso because they think its cool. The Mafia are not to be celebrated whether their Italian, Irish, Russian, or whatever. These people suck and they should be condemned.

Get Bent Charlie Strong

It's not the color of your skin that prevents you from coaching. Politics do play a role, as they do with all things in life. The Rooney rule in the NFL is a joke, along with Affirmative action. The best coaches will continue to get the chance to coach in league no matter if they are black or white. There should be no requirement to interview a minority coach. The team will hire who they feel is best able to run the program or franchise. A forced interview is insulting to minorities as well as white Americans. Players fight for positions in camp and in practice and the best man for the team wins out. The best coaches will continue to find jobs by building resumes and competing. Politics, not race should be the main focus on controversy.

I am Your Conscience: Driving

You know you have to get over. Do not play dumb and wait until the last second to change lanes. You do not have VIP access. You do not get to cut ahead in line. I will sooner physically injure you than let you in. Several people commit this act daily and cops should punish them for it in lieu of speeding tickets. This has alot to do with slowing down traffic. Please stop being a douche and wait your turn because we all have things we would rather be doing.

Blame it on the Henne?

Yeah that makes sense. Apparently, Ron Artest is so thug that he used to drink Hennesy at halftime.

Experts Suck

The word "expert" gets thrown around alot on television and on the Internet. Apparently to qualify as an expert you need to be on a major media outlet. Either you work for ESPN on CNN. Chances are you are a talking head and you don't know dick. Do you really think Doug Gotleib is a college basketball expert at picking games. Apparently ESPN thinks he is. On their website you have to pay money to be an ESPN insider to see his "expert" picks for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. I'll take my chances dialing 1-900 numbers and listening to voice messages for my picks.

Your Elevated Life

Why does the death of a cop grab more attention than a 42 year old business man with a a wife and two kids. Even in this perceived cold black heart, I feel bad for families that lose a loved one. However, I don't understand why the death of cop on the job is any more significant than a shooting of a general employee. Why is the life of a cop more valuable than anyone else?

Main Stream Media

You are so desperate right now. You churn out bullshit after bullshit. Ethics was never a high priority on the job, but you constantly stoop to new lows. Research is not in your vocabulary. You spit out the same regurgitated information and don't bother to process things. Deadlines and word counts are more important than writing quality stories with factual information. I have defend newspapers to an extent in their decline but I have seen the light. Blogs are more credible than newspapers and the Internet is more reliable than the New York Times. Goodbye newspapers. Fuck you main stream media! I am not listening to your bullshit.

I am Your Conscience

Please adjust your seat to its upright position... and leave it there motherfucker! Do not, under any circumstances move your seat back while in coach. If someone is sitting behind you, it is one of the most ignorant things you can do. Really your going to your seat back so far that I can't watch my DVD or that I can't enjoy a beverage aboard the friendly skies. My knees barely fit in the seat and when you move your seat back it confines my knees. How ignorant can you be?

ESS.EEE.SEE. Fans

Go head and put a gun to my face. Threaten to kill me if I don't give you money. I still want to see you play on Saturday. Go Vols!
Tennessee's Nu'Keese Richardson, Mike Edwards and Janzen Jackson have been charged in an early morning armed robbery. The man that they allegedly tried to rob had this to say.

Corey Zickefoose: I think they should still be able to play football, regardless. Tennessee is my place. You know, it's my football team.
Reporter: Even after they put a gun in your face, you say let them play football?
Corey Zickefoose: Yeah. It's Tennessee. That's the way it is sometimes.

That's the way it is sometimes in the ESS.EEE.SEE.
The store that the players were alledegly attempting to rob is owned by one of the Tennesse's largest athletic boosters. The story goes that the players were trying to rob the store with a pellet gun and one of the players was wearing Tennesee Vols gear.

Suck My Yahoo

I'm not sure how many people use Yahoo but I cannot stand the articles on their main page. Generally I prefer yahoo's search engine to google's but the articles are tabloid esque. How to lose 10lbs in two weeks. TO's career over? Credit Card Mistakes You Make. I don't give a fuck. What's worse is sometimes and article that might seem interesting, such as 10 companies in bankruptcy danger are poorly conceived. The articles are meant to be attention grabbers to get quick hits. It works even on the harshest critics such as myself sometimes. Resist the urge at all costs to click on these articles but if you do please do not ingest the information. I promise you it's rubbish.

Mascots

Raise you hand if you have wanted to tear the head of a mascot? or push them down the stairs to terrify the little children? O... just me on the second one, well ok. Every single mascot sucks. They are annoying. They detract from my gameday experience. They must be stopped and have no place at big time programs. Mascots are a small marketing ploy to entertain young fans or the apathetic "fans" at sporting events. They look ridiculous and make a mockery of your school. It's time to get rid of them. Please save the gimmicks for Pro Sports.

If You Dont Love This Country

How dare you take this country for granted. The pledge of allegiance means something to me. The national anthem and God Bless America can still give me chills. Too many people are ungrateful for this country that we live. America should be embraced and not exploited.
Those who came before you struggled and suffered for their freedom. If you don't appreciate this you shall be placed on the front line and you will be my meat shield. You should be willing to serve in war. The great thing about this country is that normally your not forced to serve in war. If there is ever a draft you shall not dodge it but rather serve proudly. There is no honor in living in Canada when your neighbors are fighting. Hopefully there is never a point where we are forced into a war of epic proportions but be ready to serve if called upon.

Black Eyed Peas Suck

If you didnt know better you swear their songs were for a 7 year old kid. It's like something worse than a Jock Jams CD. Their songs are epically retarded. This would explain why its so popular or course. Do I really have to hear their music at the bar, at the club, on the radio, remixed for the Phils, and .... at college football games. Please crawl back into a hole and die Black Eyed Peas, then Id be sure to have good night.

People Without Original Thoughts Suck: TV Ratings

Haven't you heard that no one on the west coast will care about the world series? You see the perfect situation for MLB and its pocketbook is for a west coast team to play an east coast team. Apparently this will lead to everyone in between caring and huge tv ratings for MLB. Except there is one problem with this concept. IT'S BULLSHIT! The idea of what two teams are playing for a championship only matter in what two teams are playing, not what coast they are playing on. The Yankees, Lakers, Celtics, Cowboys will always sell. The Rays, Jaguars, Clippers never will. The fanbases matter and the fact that they are a major city or major franchise. Stop feeding me your bullshit media. Get an original thought. The West coast will care as much as they ever could. Remember the Dodgers could not sell out their NLCS games!
