Microwave Blog Stew
I had a ton of things I wanted to write about this week -- all of which I probably could have done full on posts on in their own right. But, since the tour is on in full force right now, this is going to be my only night to post this week; I'm headed to San Francisco and the Bay Area for the week and will be back on Sunday. So we're gonna have to do the microwave version of Blog Stew tonight .... fast and somewhat cardboard tasting.
1. Alfonso Soriano is a punk. Aw, poor widdle baby! Didums doesn't wanna pway outfiewd? Soirano, you suck as a 2B anyway -- get your pathetic punk ass out in the field. You haven't won jack in your career, and you haven't earned the right to demand your right to play whatever position you want. A shredded ACL can't happen fast enough to your punk ass.
2. Halliburton poisons our troops. Gosh, aren't you glad that Shooter Cheney's company was handed a no-bid contract to service the war that was started specifically to benefit them, aren't you? Aren't we especially glad that there's no one in the administration willing to demand any kind of accountability from Halliburton? Isn't it neato that no matter how much fraud they commit, Halliburton keeps getting money from Bush's government? This is what you get when Dick Cheney is allowed to call the shots (heh huh heh), ladies and gentlemen: our troops potentially poisoned by a company that is grossly derelict of duty. Halliburton, the company given no-bid contracts by their former CEO, won't even purify the water they serve to our troops.
In the private sector, any contractor with a record of failure and fraud like Halliburton would have been fired long ago. Not in the George W. Bush adminstration, kids. In W & Cheney's world, Halliburton gets more money. Conservatives love to whine about supporting the troops. Apparently, in their world, supporting them means giving them fetid water to drink.
3. Larry The Cable Idiot has a movie out. I'm not gonna link to it, out of sheer disdain. But this is a surer sign of the impending apocolypse than Ozzy Osbourne getting an invite to a Republican White House function and NASCAR combined. If God were in the mood to convince me of His existence, he would send lightning storms, tornadoes, and an epidemic of fatal diarrhea into every showing of this moronic idiot's movie... don't just prevent people from seeing it, let's take a few of the Darwinian accidents that would pay to see it with him. Please, God. I ask for so little.
4. March Mudgeness. Oh, the dilemma! Cheering for Duke is like french-kissing your acne-covered little sister. They are the Yankees and Cowboys of college basketball. They are eeeeeeeevil (said in his best Dr. Evil impression). And Boston College are a bunch of pretty-boy spoiled rich kids who weren't smart enough to get into BU. And yet.... in a pool of 50 people, I am sitting in fifth right now and can win first place if Boston College makes it to the Final Four, and Duke wins it all. What would you choose -- winning $300 and selling your soul to Satan? Or staying pure of heart and yet losing money?

Looks like both of us can enjoy a nice tall glass of shut the fook up regarding college hocky. See you next year on that one.

At least my team didn't get upset by a 15 seed. ;-)
See you next year, indeed.
