First things first, I give less than a rat's ass about gay marriage. Hey, if two adults wanna enter into a bond to pay more taxes & keep divorce lawyers in business, then lisp away, my friends. But to think this is actually a real voter issue is ridiculous to me. This is a religion issue & if you ask me, organized religion is the basis for many of the world's problems in the first place.

To see BarackO come out & support gay marriage now cannot be seen as anything but a cheap political ploy in an election year. This guy flip-flops more than the goldfish at the end of Faith No More's "Epic".

First pet peeve of Facebook: The attention-seeking, cryptic posts, such as "Some people need to..." or "Can't believe how some people...". Hey, jackass, if it's that damned important to you, put a name to it. And just so we're clear, that post about "someone" doing you wrong only interests YOU. Don't expect me to ask what's wrong, care what's wrong, or sympathize.

Second pet peeve of Facebook: The incessant self-help, half-assed wisdom, and "If you love your Mother/Father/Children" posts. If I wanted to read someone elses musings on life as stolen by you to supposedly give me some insight into your soul, I'd simply ask you. This isn't Joel Osteen, dillhole.

Third pet peeve of Facebook: The idiotic, moronic, try-to-play-on-emotions, if-you-don't-do-it-you're-an-asshole "retweet this if you..." posts. Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick! These are as bad as those chain letters from years ago. Hey, Skeezix, try writing something for yourself, and while you're at it, make it not so douchey.

The sad thing is there are many who will believe this sort of crap instead of using common sense. Dinosaur farts?! Cripes sakes.

Well "global warming" became "climate change" when they admitted the science was falsified.

I can just see two guys in a bar after a night of brandy snifters:
"Dude, let's write a story about dinosaur farts"
"Yeah, and we can correlate it with rising temps"
"Oh, man, someone's GOTTA run with that story"
"Whatdya mean 'someone'... I'm the editor, I'll throw it on the front page"

Home Plate ump, Dan Iassonia, basically pulling strike calls out of a hat in the bottom of the 2nd. The strike three to Corey was easily 18" inside. The K ball to Izturis was just under his shoulders. Lazy, ignorent, confrontational, overpaid. Every one of them. If I were Estrada, I wouldn't throw a pitch over the plate.

EDIT: & if I were Estrada, I'd turn around after that K & ask that I get that pitch called a strike, too. Good gracious...

EDIT: Well, he was piss-poor for both sides. I guess "consistently shitty" is good enough.
