I Was Confused

July 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments

The promo said something to the effect of “see the Rainbow Warrior battle it out side-by-side with Junebug…”
I didn’t know if I was hearing a promo for a stock car race or a gay pride [...]

Oh, Glenn, You’re So Silly

July 30th, 2009 · No Comments

Glenn Beck calls the President of the United States of America a racist. “Stands by it” the next day on his radio show. Says he “doesn’t like white people”.

Loony tunes, I tell ya, [...]

Sports World Gone Mad, Part 2

July 13th, 2009 · No Comments

Much like with Ramirez, the adoration shown to the late Steve McNair, who should have the word “adulterer” placed next to his name as often as the word “quarterback” appears next to it, is weird at best, sickening at least.
Here is a father of four kids, killed by his 20-year old (17 years his [...]

Sports World Gone Mad, Part 1

July 13th, 2009 · No Comments

The adoration and attention shown to Manny Ramirez since he came back from being SUSPENDED FOR CHEATING is and has been sickening. Any fan that “cheers” for this cheater should be banned from ever entering a major league stadium again. Same goes for those who cheer A-Roid in New York. These guys shouldn’t even be [...]

One year ago today, my two sisters, two brothers and I lost our father. My mom lost her husband, and 14 people age 19 and under lost a grandpa.
I got the call from my brother Blake shortly after arriving at my office in Canton. The next day, I was on a hastily arranged trip [...]
