         <title>The legacy of Bud Adams is blood and despair...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Steve McNair could have taken the Oilers to their first Super Bowl.

Instead, Bud Adams played the city and county for suckers and took the team up to Nashville.

Rest in peace, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/07/04/mcnair.shooting/index.html">troubled soul</a>.

And as for Bud:

<blockquote>"He was one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans," Adams said.</blockquote>

For what you did, you will never be beloved by any true blue Oilers fan in this city.]]></description>

<hr>

I, for one, believe that Cynthia McKinney represents The American Dream.

It doesn't matter if you were used as a human shield in your youth.
It doesn't matter what your race is.
It doesn't matter what your gender is.
It doesn't matter if you're willing to take money from the same people who bankrolled terrorism.
It doesn't matter how deranged your anti-Semitic dad has become since his days in the Civil Rights Movement.

You can still make it to Washington as a representative of hundreds of thousands of people even stupider than you, perhaps even running for president on a ticket for a party full of people even crazier than you.

God Bless America, and God Bless America again for tossing her out of office <i>twice</i>.]]></description>

         <title>Out with the old asshole, in with the new asshole...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1246443713159">Mohammed ElBaradei</a> is on his way out of the IAEA, but there's a new asshole taking over his lapdog role:

<blockquote>There is no concrete evidence that Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons, incoming International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano said Friday, in his first public comments on Iran's nuclear program.
Japan's Yukiya Amano, left,...

"I don't see any evidence in IAEA official documents about this," Yukiya Amano told Reuters. </blockquote>

Which means that either ElBaradei shredded them, or he's taking them with him so he can consult with the Iranians and give them pointers from Cairo.

Here's hoping that Mohammed ElBaradei has a short retirement, dying of radiation poisoning from Iranian nuke weapons program he ignored and let develop right under his nose.

Remember... it wasn't the IAEA that found the Libyan programme... it was the US toppling Saddam that spooked Gaddafi that caused him to confess.

People keep forgetting that Gaddafi surrendered his programme after Saddam's ass got kicked. So when people say there were no WMD in Iraq, well, maybe... but there sure were WMD being developed in Libya. (And Syria with North Korean help... but that got pushed back by the bombing raid.)]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Just when you thought it couldn't get any sicker, greedier, and perverted, Michael Jackson's family and slavers <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/07/exclusive-25-charge-attend-michael-jackson-memorial">refuse to miss an opportunity</a> to make a buck off of the sick fuck:

<blockquote>Fans who wish to attend Michael Jackson's star-studded memorial service at Staples Center will have to shell out $25 to sit in the stands, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

Family, friends and VIPS will have seats on the main floor for The Tuesday, July 7th Staples service, first reported by RadarOnline.com, while the general public will be plucking down $25 to sit in the stands.</blockquote>

It's a fucking circus.

<blockquote>The service will be held between 10am PST and Noon PST... with the scheduled Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus on standby, literally.

The parade of elephants, held as circus performers arrive in town is scheduled to take place immediately following the service.</blockquote>

It really is a fucking circus!]]></description>

<blockquote>An IDF Navy unit took over a ship that was en route to breaking the naval closure on the Gaza Strip, the IDF said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
International activists cover...

Overnight, Navy troops spotted a vessel with a Greek flag, which had embarked on a journey from the port of Larnaca in Cyprus towards the Gaza Strip.

After the Navy contacted the ship and realized it was headed to Gaza, the troops clarified that the Strip is under naval closure and that because of security concerns it will not be allowed to reach the beach of Gaza. </blockquote>

If there's any explosives on the boat, they should put the crew back on there and set them off.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Until last night, it hadn't rained in Houston for a few weeks.

When I saw thunderstorms in the forecast, my first thought was not to cover the grill or bring in my electric fan.

it was <i>Bruwyn is going to run around like a crazy kitty.</i>

Sure enough, as the thunder started, he got spooked.

Nothing quite like a web cat running full-speed and leaping and growing and whining.

There's no point in trying to calm him down. He squirms away and flies off into another tizzy.]]></description>

Of course, being a customer of our fine public transportation system, I've seen the mental state of some of these folks who use the bus and... well, when they peel away the tinfoil and stop yammering about how Bush saw flying around New Orleans hunting people on rooftops, I don't think you want any form of machinery to be controlled by those folks.

No. Really. Take a stroll Downtown, head for Tranquility Park and City Hall, and just enjoy the ambiance of madness.

Just sayin'.]]></description>

         <title>Coop The Idiot</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Valverde may have been the biggest goat of <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap?gid=290628118">Sunday's game</a>, but handing him a one-run lead when you have a chance to hand him two or three is sheer idiocy.

<blockquote>Geoff Blum(notes), activated from the disabled list before the game, was hit by a pitch leading off the bottom of the seventh. Two outs later, Matsui doubled and Blum scored to give the Astros a 3-2 lead.

Ortiz retired Adam Everett(notes) leading off the eighth before he was replaced by Byrdak. The left-hander struck out the two batters he faced, not allowing a run for the 15th time in his last 18 appearances.</blockquote>

Matsui got to third on some heads-up baserunning (I'm just as shocked as you are).

Two men out, man on third... and...

Coop let Ortiz bat.

Yeah, I know, he's batting better than the rest of the pitching staff, but in this situation you bring out someone to at least give the Tigers a scare. Bring out Kata. Or Maysonnet (oops!) Maybe force a walk.

Fine. Bourn comes up with men on first and third. Bourn's not exactly a slugger, but if you get Matsui and Kata running with Bourn bunting, he can beat that out and the Suicide scores one.

I know, I know... they already had the lead, but if you've watched Valverde at all, you know he's easily lit up in these situations.

Which he was. I saw this coming, it came, and Coop didn't do anything to prevent it.

What? Coop needed to keep Ortiz in?

To face Adam "Swish" Everett?

Give me a break. Ortiz finished him like Valverde finishes two plates of chicken wings, and then Byrdak came in.

Byrdak could have easily mown down Adam Errorvett with his other two victims.

Coop is showing that he's been given his chance, has blown it, and it's time to sweep out the staff and bring in a new group of chuckleheads.

I, for one, hope that Jose Cruz gets a shot just so that Drayton will can his ass and finally get him out of the mix. (At least Manso is out of the mix.)

<hr>

At least Mike Illitch's Motor City Pussies got their noses bloodied, their streak ended, and Adam's batting average is sinking to its usual depths.

When he was being hailed by all the fantasy wires, I was laughing... just wait, I said. Just wait.]]></description>

         <title>A Dead Spokesliar</title>
         <description>I have no grief for the demise of Billy Mays.

It&apos;s one thing to manufacture schlocky products.

It&apos;s another thing to peddle them.

His family is asking for privacy and respect.

They have earned neither.

If his death is the result of injuries sustained during his recent airline trauma, then America has a new pilot hero: move over Sully, and pin a medal on the man that laid Billy Mays low.

I hope his funeral is open coffin and public so everybody can use it as a latrine.

Find no peace in your death, Mr. Mays, and may you be bombarded with schlocky ads for all eternity as the brimstone sears your soul.</description>
