I Miss John Rocker

That guy was a character. He was everything that was right with baseball. The real life Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn, if you will. I'm glad he has decided to speak out about his opinion on steroids in MLB.

Ok. A couple of small incidental things I'd like to get off my chest.

1) A Russin bomber "buzzed" a U.S. aircraft carrier in the pacific yesterday. "Buzz" means if flew 2,000 feet directly above the ship. That may seem reall high, but 2,000 feet is not a long way to go for a bomb.
My thoughts on this are scattered. This is just another "incident" involving the Russian military over the past year or two. What is going on? Does Russia really want to go to war with the U.S.? Are they just flexing their muscles? We never even actually went to war during the Cold War, can you imagine if all these technologically advanced years later we do? It scares the bejeebees outta me because I have no idea why they are acting so "tough". Perhaps we (USA) are doing the same?

2) Forget The NE Patriots and "spygate". We should be more focused on China's spygate. 2 seperate groups of suspects were arrested today on charges of selling military information to the Chinese government.
You can read about those stories yourself on any major news website. What I want to know now is how does this work? Is it like some "Family Guy" episode where a U.S. leader calls up a Chinese official and is like "ah ah ahhhh, we caught you...." and then they both laugh? I mean I am certain this is not the first time a spy has been caught, but what happens now? Just ignore it?

In better news,
Saudi Arabia Bans Valentines Day:
The country has banned the color red for February 14. This is because as one person put it: "As Muslims we shouldn't celebrate a non-Muslim celebration, especially this one that encourages immoral relations between unmarried men and women" the fun stuff about this is that the day before Valentine's Day there are raids on flower and gift shops searching for red flowers, teddy bears, etc. by the Virtue and Vice Squad.
MAN I wish we had one of those here.

John Ritter's widow is suing 2 doctors for her husbands death claiming he was mistreated.
I'd hate to find out that's true, John Ritter was an awesome actor and while I really enjoyed it, "Bad Santa" should not have been his last movie. Here's to you John.

Lindsay Lohan saw Paris Hilton at a party thrown by Timbaland, and very audibly called her a bitch. Ms. Hilton then not so quietly responded by telling Lil Lindsay to "Fuck off".
Class is class and you gotta hand it to them, they've got tons of it.

There was a high school prank in Philadelphi over the weekend where someone(s) stole 100 chickens and let them into the school. On Monday morning they had to close the school becuase off all the cleaning up that had to be done of chicken poop and the like.
My favorite part about this is the line at the end of the article. When asked if they catch the culprit what would be his punishment, school spokesman Fernando Gallard said they would have to pay for the damages. And of course in classic set-up pun situations he said: "It's not going to be chicken scratch." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm so glad he didn't miss that golden opportunity.

Finally I would like to discuss something that I was thinking about earlier. I was lightly discussing Captain Planet with a friend of mine and we were talking about the South American Native kid whose power was "Heart". Now that was a pretty lame power, but they tried to make up for it with his pet monkey.
Do you think there was ever a possibility for the American to get a sissy power like heart? NO WAY right? We got "FIRE" man. No way would the American ever be a sissy, and I think that is very interesting that the shows producers found it necessary to make the American character kick ass, while the fruity "Heart" guy with a monkey could have just as easily been the asian character or something. I am not disagreeing with their judgement, no way the American could have been anything other that "Fire". NO god damned way, and if you don't like it, you can just GET OUT!

That's all for today, leave a post if you dare.

Keepin it real from the loop.
