Look guys this is really simple. Barry Bonds is a ‘roids boy and his records are all for shit at this point. Sosa and McGuire were on the juice during that great summer when baseball was saved from the hell that hockey is now enduring. The only real difference is that when Bonds got hauled into a grand jury room he lied his ass off about being a doper.
Baseball needs to ban the cockbreath the same way they did Pete Rose. Rose was no saint but at least he got on base legally. And he did more with his marginal talent than anybody else in the lore of the game. And did they ban him from the game for gambling? No, they banned him for lying about it.
The Internet is now officially a dangerous place. Not only have the sexual perverts turned it into a pedophile playground but now street gangs are roaming there too. According to the Post today MS-13 is on the net bragging about kills and making threats. It’s so bad that MySpace is building a security force to call its own.
The thing about freedom of speech is that it applies to everbody; even illegal immigrants and semi-literate gang bangers. Parents are going to start the irrational knee-jerk screaming to put censors in place on the net to protect their kids from this kind of crap. Hell, why not just do your damn job as a parent and pay some attention to what the eff your kid is doing on line? Or would that interfere with your social calendar?
And finally, thank you George Will for pointing out that unions have helped to create an industrial welfare state. Like it wasn’t obvious to everyone all these years. Yeah it does suck to lose your job, but when a company agrees to pay you to sit on your ass then that’s just wrong. No wonder American car companies are up shit creek. How can any company afford to compete when they are paying people to not work? They should have broken the UAW’s back while Hoffa was in prison. Then maybe we could buy an American car and not worry that it’ll fall apart before it gets paid off.
More later. Trust me on that.
