Happy Birthday to the Queen of Hearts
Hey NBC. If I tune it to watch the Olympics, I want to watch the Olympics. I don't want to watch you talk about the Olympics. Bob Costas blabbing about how exciting the day was and asking gold medal snowboarders which figure skaters he thinks are hot is not exactly my idea of "Must See TV!" Show what happened, quit the yappin'!
Bill Maher was on the Tonight Show last night. He has really rocketed to stardom recently on this innovative, inventive, new comedy routine of bashing the president. After spouting something negative about taxes and the president's plan a few people in Jay's audience applauded, to which Bill turned to them and congratulated them as the "free thinkers." Yeah, free thinkers, free not to question what nearly every Democrat is saying. Free not look at the evidence and question what they've heard from both sides. It was great that most of the people in the audience weren't reacting positively to his diatribes. The panic that exploded into his eyes when he realized he wasn't in front of people who have paid to see him, who knew what he was about, and wanted to revel in their fellow hatred of the man America elected (at least once), was priceless. But Bill spreads unity in America by saying "Hey, I didn't elect him." Good for you, Bill.
Here's some good news! John Henry (Principle owner of the Red Sox) appears to have become a republican. Major League Baseball has a program that makes teams who spend over $120 million dollars on their players have to pay a "luxury tax" that is distributed among the teams who don't make as much money. John Henry was complaining that this takes money from the successful teams and gives it to the less successful. He said that this policy does not have any incentive for these lesser teams to improve because they are getting free money. This all coming from a man who was an outspoken supporter of Mr. "Commonwealth," himself: John Kerry. So what do you think Mr. Henry would of the welfare system? Now that he's fully experiencing what it's like to not have a high power CPA getting him through tax loopholes, and he's seeing his money (which he tried to claim was the fans money) go places that he doesn't agree with. Do you think he'll be voting Democratic in the next election?
(and on a brief side note: If the Republican party is the party of the rich, why are all of the richest people in the public eye Democrats? Actors, Athletes, Musicians, Team Owners, Comedians, TV "Personalities" (that's funny, does Matt Lauer really have much of a personality?), etc. Take a look at who gives money to the Democratic party, you might be surprised...)
This just in: Racism continues to abound and continues to be perpetuated by African Americans! Bryant Gumble said yesterday "The winter Olympics, count me among those who don't like 'em and won't watch 'em... Try not to laugh when someone says these are the greatest athletes when there is such a [void] of blacks that it looks like a GOP convention." Wow, so he slams the republicans and the Olympics in one fell swoop. I'm not going to comment on this any more than to speculate that Bryant is expressing his anger that he narrowly missed joining the 1984 Winter Olympic Men's figure skating team to Scott Hamilton because he two footed a triple lutz, though Bryant claims it's because he's black.
Once again: Just My Opinion.

Bryant must be so proud! Shani Davis is the first African American to win an indvidual medal in the winter olympics. Then, after his teammates throw him under the bus, the returns the favor by throwing his teammates under the same bus!
Davis wouldn't skate in the team pursuit because he was there "to race his individual events." After he won a Gold and a Silver in two different events he said that he was mad at his "teammate" didn't hug him after he won his silver. "teammate?" Teammates skate in the team pursuit. And if you remove yourself from the realm of "teammate" ~ don't expect a hug... alright?
