“I keep hearing that we had a deal with baseball,” Cropp said. “Well, I have had a 30-year-plus deal with the citizens of this city. That deal trumps any other consideration with Major League Baseball.”



that’s right. Bud Selig and Bob DuPuy can go to hell.

… it’s been confirmed, Robert Novak is a piece of fucking garbage.



http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2004/0412.sullivan.html



one steaming, stinking, favorite excerpt, comin’ right up!



Bob Novak is, he tells me, writing his memoirs. It is unlikely that there will be a citation for “Plame, Valerie.” His set-up is nearly perfect—as a syndicated opinion columnist and executive producer of his own show, Novak can say what he wants without fear of punitive consequences, and he can ignore what he wants, safe in the knowledge that no one of significance will ever press him. He is hardly alone in being used by sources or having dicey conflicts of interest. But unlike journalists Dan Rather and Howell Raines, who provided full explanations and apologies once their errors were revealed—and who faced well-organized mau-mauing campaigns waged by critics on the right—Novak is an island, untouched by criticism. His privileged position would count for nothing if his peers and colleagues held him accountable.

I’m not carving shit into my arms, and I’m not lighting incense and candles, and I still don’t like hippies, but nonetheless, Bjork is best listened to in the dark. lets all say a litte something for the poor bastards stuck in that bus in Athens – and the people in there with them with guns, too. we’re all humans, and they’re all fucked. sleep well, America.

okay, this shit’s ridiculous, but I’m sitting here trying to think of Spencer’s phone number, and then I realized that I never had it to begin with.



fuck.



so if you’re reading this, Spencer, give me a call at my home in Bloomington. you’ve called here before, so that shouldn’t be a problem. need to talk to you, man, you know why? because a homey is rolling into Alexandria for Xmas, and I haven’t seen you in like a year.



oh yeah, and so I ordered a pizza, right – and then some asshole has to crash his car directly in front of my apartment building so they can’t deliver it. stupid college kids…

I gues infantilesuperstition.com is a blog. doesn’t matter. I was reading about Bjork online because I’m on a Bjork kick (I bought Post a few days ago), and I came across the above webpage.

whee, there are some fun pictures on there! but that’s not the best part about the page – what’s great about the page are the comments. the comments are money, just like on Ashlee Simpson’s message board. so read through them. roll around in them. soak them up. but because I know you won’t do that, I’ll just put my favorite ones up here instead. enjoy!

(the discussion is roughly based on the following question – Bjork: hot or not?)

Yeah bjorks aretard with a fake name and she looks asian although icelandic. SHe sucks, you suck, your sight sucks

Bjork is a metric unit of hotness, and most women are only centibjorks.

Tucker Carlson may have been joking, but I’m not sure about Ann coulter.



http://www.hugi.is/hahradi/bigboxes.php?box_id=51208&f_id=1211



and you know, what pisses me off, is Carlson can shrug it off by saying he’s “joking.” well, when your dumb ass is on national television calling Canada (you know, the huge fucking country just north of Minnesota) insignificant and dependent on the US, there are a lot of stupid yokels who’ll now take up that same line of bullshit rhetoric, because you said it on cable news, Tucker. so watch your mouth, you smarmy bowtied fuck.

and as for Coulter, she’s fucking crazy. there was no joking going on there. she really doesn’t like that country, cause they dared to have something called a “foreign policy.” it’s not like they’re a sovereign nation or anything.

oh, and isn’t it awesome that the only liberal on Fox News Channel looks a lot like a corpse? we love you, Alan Colmes. fight the good fight.

okay, so Brand Nubian rules.



also, I was watching Cops last night, right? And this guy, he’s like, he’s getting arrested over a domestic violence dispute (good job, guy) and the cops have him on the curb, and while he’s sitting there handcuffed, and the cops and the cameraman are just standing around in bad haircuts when here comes my man kicking it down the street, open Budweiser in hand. he’s drunk. he naturally, walks right up to my other man who’s on the curb, and he says to him, he goes “what’re you doin’?”

the cops are all like, “whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. whoa,” while they turn him around, take his beer, and handcuff him too. turns out the two guys on the curb are friends and neighbors, and the second guy was just on his way home.

did I mention this was in Indianapolis? I mean, shit, where else would it be???



and lastly, a couple of soldiers told Rumsfeld how it was yesterday in Kuwait. fuck yeah.

“Shut up, zealot,” aka “get your fucking God out of my tax funded school system, dickhead”

by Matty McMullan



Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.



This, and specifically the text in bold, is what is commonly referred to as the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The framers weren’t incredibly explicit as to what this entails, but it is generally assumed that this clause of the 1st Amendment means that the government cannot endorse any religion, or make any particular religion the “official” one of the state. We, as Americans, are allowed to follow any religious belief that we choose, but beyond that, we can’t expect the government’s backing. Or, even more explicitly, we can’t expect federal funds to build a church, a synagogue, a temple. I would say that most people wouldn’t argue that interpretation. But it is simply that, an interpretation: others will obviously read the same clause and pull different meaning out of it. Which means that inevitably there will be debate over where its legality will reach.

So this is how it becomes an issue concerning public education; the public school system is a public entity. It isn’t a private enterprise, which means that because it must be accessible to everyone, constitutional law must apply to its functions. Public education reflects on the government. And if the public school were to promote or entertain an idea that has its base in religious circles, that would be illegal/unconstitutional. The government would be promoting a religion through the education it provides its citizens.

Interested groups have fought pitched battles over the scientific education of our school children ever since the Scopes Trial of the 1920’s. The question at hand boils down to: should the Theory of Evolution be taught as standard scientific thought? Or, should other claims to the origins of man be introduced? If so, which ones?

Well, Christian “fun”damentalists have a suggestion. The “theory” of Creation has been pushed as an alternative to Evolution for decades. Proponents of it have demanded equal time devoted to its study, pointing at flaws in the Evolution school of thought.

In the modern political climate, Christian Conservatives hold a high ground. President Bush’s reelection campaign relied heavily on their turnout at the polls, and while it has been suggested that their “moral” vote alone may not have swayed the election, the media/general consensus has determined that they did. It was them. Morality elected Bush, and now they are a strong voice in national politics. They will move on their socially conservative agenda, which among many other things includes the promotion of Creationism as part of a public classroom curriculum.

They’ve already begun their push. The teaching of Creationism was banned in 1987 by the Supreme Court because it was in violation of the separation of church and state. So Creation backers have turned to a new tactic – discredit Charles Darwin’s theory in favor of something that more suits their beliefs. “Intelligent Design,” which is the blanket term for this new school of thought can basically be summed up as follows: there is empirical evidence that the universe and/or living things were designed by an intelligent agent. The Theory of Evolution cannot account for the complexity of life in the world around us, and the Earth is specifically built for living things – all signs pointing to some sort of higher, intelligent life. Basically, it’s the idea that God created the world and all of us in it – without using the word “God.” That way the courts won’t care. This is now paraded around as a new alternative, a new theory.

So under a new moniker, creation backers have called for science textbooks to include stickers that say evolution theory is “unproven,” “not a fact,” etcetera. And it’s working. A school board in rural Wisconsin, after an annual review of their science text, passed a motion permitting “various theories/models of origins” to be incorporated into its science curriculum. The school district of Dover, Pennsylvania has required specifically that intelligent design be taught as an alternative to evolution. The sticker tactic has been employed in Cobb County, Gerogia. And with the country leading to the right in our positions of government, this trend is more than likely to continue.

Critics of the theory of evolution are quick to complain about its shortcomings, about the sometimes gaps in its logic. But this is precisely what makes evolution exactly what we call it: a theory. Creatonism and Intelligent Design (what some have called “Creationism Lite”) are not – they are belief systems that take their cues from religious texts – things that believers have to take on faith, because scientific evidence fails to back it up. As future educators and citizens of this country, it falls to us to care about this. To allow Creationism and religious beliefs to creep back in and dominate our school’s curriculum, we run the risk of regressing to a backwards society. No one ever claimed evolution was bulletproof, but it is the most convincing scientific theory we have today – and it should not and will not be the school system’s purpose to indoctrinate public school children into a belief system to satisfy the complaints of a noisy majority.

dear Senator McCain,

find something better to do with your fucking time. you’re a fucking senator, for god’s sake. yes, I understand you are one of the most moderate members of your extremist party, that you spend a lot of time doing worthwhile shit while on the Hill, and that you’ve given up years of your life for this country.

but I don’t care. because its no fucking secret that MLB players use steroids. FUCKING SURPRISE. look at the size of those animals! there’s no way those motherfuckers could do the things they do without drugs. Barry Bonds would be a ninety pound weakling who chronically wets the bed without performance enhancers. why are you spending your time on something as banal and unimportant and ridiculous as the baseball “scandal”?
