Should A Person Have Two Pairs Of Pumas

Wow how long has it been since I blogged last? Does it really matter anyways.

So what has been going on out there in the world? You should be happy to know that Glen Beck is still crazy. Even though he is being boycotted by almost every company that used to advertise on his show because he made the totally sane and logical conclusion that Obama hated white people and everything they stand for. Yeah but come on Obama you can't blame all of white culture for the filmography of Larry the Cable Guy and the music of Brooks and Dunn. Why must you punish us all Obama?

Yeah but Glen Beck has decided to take the crazytown express all the way to the the insane highway so he can catch a cab to The Rib Hut downtown. I swear when he says that the people in this administration in power are all Marxist all I can say to myself is "well wouldn't that be great."

Anyways the conservative party in general and dumb motherfuckers are complaining how Obama's health care plan will be government dictating and rationing health care. Let alone these same dumbfucks and ill informed morons don't want government making their health care decisions for them but want the government to make abortion illegal (Kind of like the gun freaks who want the government out of their pocket and and for them to leave their personal rights alone but want them to deny equal rights for homosexuals).

Even some elected officials are complaining about government taking over health care. What makes them hypocritical about all of this nonsense is that I am sure that most of these elected officials were the same people who made the Terry Schiavo case one of the most obtrusive government actions I can think of in regards to the government dictating health care decisions in a persons life. They called a special session of congress just so they could pass a motion to keep Shciavo alive. This is an epic fail man.

Anyways that is all. I promise to make September a more bountiful month for your reading pleasure.

Get Your Face Painted At Michael Vick Day! There Will Be Ponies!

The following views expressed do not necessarily reflect the prevailing wisdom of most people in this country. I don't care in the past about having an unpopular view and I won't care five minutes from now. It's how I feel and I make no apolgies about it. That is why I hope the six people who read my blog appreciate what I write.

I am not into sports too much any more but I will tell you that I like to watch a well played game between two teams. With that said I can not stand watching sports center because lets face the cold hard reality; they do not play clips from any recent games but are more or less interested in player contracts and if Terrel Owens is a douche bag. I have more pressing matters in my life to actually sit around and be worried if Terrel Owens does not get along with Tony Romo anymore. You should too.

But Michael Vick man. People can't stop talking about that guy. Look he wasn't the greatest quarterback but he was a guy who could single handily win a game. I saw him do it against the Steelers one year. Actually scrap that I think that game ended in a tie. Who knows and who cares because it is not important.

But than he decided that he wanted to finance a dog fighting ring at one of his houses. It was a stupid and illegal thing to do and he was rightfully arrested and incarcerated for it. Good for America our justice system works (well scratch that. Michael Vick kills a bunch of dogs but OJ kills his wife and doesn't go to jail for that).

I came across this article about Michael Vick about how they are going to organize some Michael Vick day in his hometown. The article doesn't really say what the point of the festival but that is not what I care about. What really gets my goat is the comments from random readers.

For instance check out this comment on the web page left by someone who created a name of cowabunga_78.

"Celebrating MV's return to NN is wrong on so many levels. If they want to welcome him back, it should be done in a "Forgiveness" service at some church.

This is a con"vick"ted felon, and should be treated as such. He needs a great deal of psycotherapy -- and medication -- to keep him from further abusing animals and people. He does not need to be celebrated by a small faction of the community. Remember, he's not just an animal abuser, he's also a high-stakes gambler who places illegal bets. What's to keep him from betting on football?"

Cowabunga_78 is an idiot. People like him are the ones who vote Republican and think Pat Robertson won't burn in hell for his support of repressive African dictators so he can extract diamonds from their mines.

(Thinking about it I really hate Pat Robertson. He is a horrible human. I really mean that. HE is a liar, delusional at best, hates most minority groups, and only cares about money. I will have to write more about him at a later date.)

I think this is a very indicative quote from a guy named Mose.

"What is this country coming to? When we celebrate a convicted felony and his dog killing. Michael Vick is not the type of role model for my kids.
How can he speak on King's non-violence when in fact he "Bank Rolled" the killing of animals.
This celebration is out of place just like "Cash for Clunkers" program by the federal government."

You know what Mose yeah maybe pro athletes aren't the best role models for your children. Maybe instead of false idol worship you should actually teach your kid ethics and moral responsibility. And what the hell is the cash for clunkers program and how does it relate to Vick?

I could go on about these people. Their priorities are fucked. I think I wrote this previously but of course what Michael Vick did was wrong. I understand exploiting animals for your own personal enjoyment is wrong (think horse racing or those horrible people who put sweaters on their dogs). Its a damn horrific thing he did to them but he is hardly the worst person in the world.

I got into this with my mom the other day. Basically her point was that Michael Vick is the worst person ever. Guess what he is not. You know who is worse than him. George W. Bush, Bill Kristol, and every other of these conservative hacks who actively pushed us into a war in Iraq by selectively cheery picking information and making up lies about how Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The people who tortured people for kicks at Abur Garab are worse than Vick. The politicians like Bush and Obama who want to hold people in jail without any sort of trail in horrible situations.

I know people like dogs because they are furry and in Adam Sandler movies they hilariously hump other dogs. Believe me I love going to the website where people post pictures of their dogs wearing birthday hats and going down water slides. But give me a break. Vick is hardly the worst human being in the world. Of course I am different than most people and value all life whether it be animals or people and don't limit my anger to our furry friends in the animal kingdom.
