Music, culture & politics. We'll also update Whitee's recording progress.
Before I get into the main point of my post today, I'd just like to point out one small thing about the Ned Lamont vicory that "progressives" are getting all moist about: Uh Sparky, Ned's a rich, white guy. Take a look at the article by
Sarah Baxter from The Sunday Times. Yes, I prefer him to Liebs, but come on...dude ain't turning anyone's water into wine, 'kay?
OK, now on with the show...
I almost got into a fight yesterday. Well OK, I didn't really, but the baseball team I'm on did. I had a nice view of it. I don't get into fights...oh, I'll defend myself, but I'm not getting into a fight...especially over a baseball game.
So while both teams piled onto the field, I literally started thinking about what a bunch of idiots those 20 guys looked like. Like this was a real beef or something. I mean, if you look at the transcript: "He punched me in the leg!" "I did not you moron!" Pathetic.
Seriously, there are people getting killed, raped and maimed every day...hell, let's not even talk about Iraq, Afganistan, Darfur, etc. It's happening in your own hometown. And to the douchbag who was on deck who ran onto the field with his bat? What were you going to do?
Later, I started putting it into the stupid, sports-guy concept. Not the uber-fan who knows everything about his/her team, but the idiot to takes a football game on TV as a "battle" when they only thing he's ever done is hit his wife & kids. Or the idiots who play/watch basketball and act like they're so bad with this pseudo-macho...uh...bullshit.
I said this before, but I'd like to reiterate...all these people need to have their asses dropped into Bagdad, Darfur, Beruit, etc and just be told...there you go, Rocky, survive.
Damn, I just wanted to play f-ing baseball.
