I'm a geek

I admit it. I don't care what others think. This is going to be awesome.

Did I mention this is going to be awesome?

For the love of the game

I don't mean to get preachy here, but the next time you think about giving up on something, think of this kid.

I'd like to think that if you showed this video to major league players, they'd get misty-eyed and rededicate themselves to playing baseball because they love the game.

But I'd be wrong.

Most of them would just send the kid an autographed baseball. A few of them might call their agent to work out some photo-op. Others would just nod, say, "That's a shame." and then return to the mirror of their lives.

THAT is the shame.

Ah, the British

No longer having a need to march in red coats and walk in straight lines during battle, our friends across the pond have found a new way to engage the enemy:

Shinkicking.

Let me be clear: I love the British! Beautiful country, lovely people, fantastic beer. I would move there in a heartbeat if I could. The local customs, however, just kill me...

Cheers, tally ho and all that.

The smirk and the crap that spews from it

These words, from Vice-President Dick Cheney and his stupid smirk, were spoken at a National Press Club luncheon:

"So, I had Cheneys on both sides of the family — and we don't even live in West Virginia," Cheney cracked. After pausing for laughter from the crowd, Cheney added, "You can say those things when you're not running for re-election."

What if Barack Obama said this? Or Hillary Clinton? Imagine the national inquiry and outrage that would have erupted, in every Kilauean sense of the word. Rush Limbaugh would be apoplectic. Bill O'Reilly would have an aneurysm. Ann Coulter might squeal like a girl instead of the man-beast she is.

Not that these are bad things, mind you. I'm just saying...

Someone needs a shove

I hate the Boston Red Sox. I hate their fans. Here is reason number 4, 287 why I hate the Red Sox. Someone please push her off the wall.



I hope Chairman Mao is rolling in his grave.
