Question of the Day
Do you think Glenn Beck is mad at Tiger Woods? It must suck when a golfer's infidelity pushes you out of an already crappy cycle of news.

Book It!
Baseball - Futures (Game) Moneyline
Odds to win the 2010 World Series
All wagers have action.
(102) Baltimore Orioles 100/1 Dec 31/09@8:00pRisk US$ 3.40 to win US$ 340.00
I thought about holding out for the perennial 150 or 200-1 odds, but then I considered that the Orioles might sign a mid-level DH or something, and the odds would drop a bit. I had to get this while it was hot, before Baltimore goes on its standard April hot streak and gets everyones' hopes up.
I think a more appropriate futures bet would be:
Peter Angelos actually signs a fucking starting pitcher 795,000/1

Obama is a "domestic enemy"?
It seems like these nutcases think that Obama defeated Abraham Lincoln in an election or something, as if the shoes that are too big to fill were worn just under two years ago by Martin Luther King Jr, Thomas Jefferson, Mr. Perfect, Johnny Depp, Paul Thomas Anderson, Peyton Manning or some other icon of American success.
Our most recent ex-president cared about two things:
1. Implementing his own twisted vision of who should have what in America, and
2. Not giving a shit
Now we have a president who at least tries to give off the aura of effort, a president who doesn't seem to have an entrenched idea of exactly what should and is going to happen, but is willing to adapt, to actually try and execute plans which have the best chance of improving the lives of ordinary Americans.
It's almost as if Bush was so bad, so purposely destructive at such a high rate of counter-productivity that it becomes easy to lie on his behalf, or to delude oneself into thinking Obama started the Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan, the economic crises, and the mess of public education that is No Child Left Behind.
It's like taking over the St Louis Rams or Tampa Bay Buccaneers and being on the hot seat for only winning a couple games. That probably wouldn't happen. So why is it so with our presidency?
I understand that people like Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Kristol, and the such are paid huge sums of money to lie, pretend, and act like jackasses. It's when ordinary Americans who have little to nothing to gain from such outrageousness start acting like they were born only two weeks ago in Sean Hannity's mini fridge.
On the other hand, there is this.

Huh?
Why is there a rooster outside my window? There's a freaking rooster cock-a-doodle-doing.
It's 1:15 in the afternoon! How lazy is this rooster that he's just waking up? Get with the program, delinquent rooster.

That's what I said!
"Conspiracy theorists are just people looking for an answer where there is no question" - Me
Those who know me best can attest to my tendency to spit out quote worthy, if not necessarily profound, statements in the midst of my usual diet of meaningless gibberish. When you ramble as much as I do, you're bound to say something cool that would totally get on your IMDB page, if only you were famous enough to have an IMDB page. It's simple mathematics people: Talk all day and the odds are you'll eventually say something useful.*
* A moderate level of intelligence may or may not be required to make this hold true.
