the non-apology apology (cont'd)

NEW YORK (AP)—NBC Sports golf analyst and idiot, brain-dead moron Johnny Miller apologized for his description of U.S. Open runner-up Rocco Mediate, saying the comments had “absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity.” Mediate, a 45-year-old Pennsylvanian of Italian heritage, held a one-stroke lead over Tiger Woods during the fourth round Sunday. Miller said Mediate “looks like the guy who cleans Tiger’s swimming pool.” He also said, “Guys with the name ‘Rocco’ don’t get on the trophy, do they?”

“I apologize to anyone who was offended by my remarks,” Miller said in a statement Friday through NBC. “My intention was to convey my affection and admiration for Rocco’s everyman qualities and had absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity. I chose my words poorly and in the future will be more careful.” Woods beat Mediate in a playoff that lasted 19 holes for his third U.S. Open title.

With praying having solved all of the world's problems, why the hell not?

Choir director in Ohio to pray for cheaper gas
June 20, 2008 10:53 EDT

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Rocky Twyman would disagree with anyone who thinks consumers don't have a prayer against high gasoline prices. The choir director from the Washington, D.C., area has come to Toledo with what he calls his "Pray at the Pump Movement." Twyman says politicans have been unable to do anything about rising fuel costs, so it's time to ask God to intervene and lower prices.

He planned to lead pray-ins Friday at two local service stations, followed by a 12-hour prayer vigil at Toledo First Seventh-day Adventist Church. Church Pastor Mike Fortune read about Twyman and invited him to come to town. Twyman also has led campaigns to nominate Oprah Winfrey for the Nobel Peace Prize and to encourage African Americans to donate bone marrow

there is probably an interesting story behind that

McCain, however, appears to be less interested in speaking to the millions of Clinton voters who fall somewhere between the cracks, and more interested in engaging the handful of crazies who dislike Barack Obama for wholly irrational reasons. Take Will Bower, the founder of a group called PUMA ("Party Unity My Ass"). On Saturday, Bower met with John McCain. On Wednesday, Bower attended Larry Sinclair's press conference, saw Sinclair literally accuse Obama of murder, saw Sinclair's lawyer wearing a kilt, saw Sinclair flee the room after the press conference because he was moments away from being arrested, and came away saying that Sinclair's story was "worth exploring". That means that McCain is either one or two degrees removed from the lunatic fringe, depending on what you think of Bower's state of mind.

That's Croatian "football"?

What a choke job. They SUCK. It looked the entire team was going to commit suicide afterwards. Is there crying in "football"?

This heat which continues still. Especially, because the white-collar worker has done the necktie, the wind being difficult to enter in the body, all the more it is hot, it is, don't you think?.

Such a time, just a little it is introduction of the cool item. Because the USB necktie cooler, when you connect with USB of the personal computer, the fan of built-in turning, sends the air facing toward the neck origin, it makes cool slightly, it is.

Now, pass also while working to be cool the [chi] [ya] it is comfortably!

The air conditioner being effective, because the [ru] room, with consequence of the necktie, the air does not go in the shirt, this season which very does not become cool. If such a time, the USB necktie cooler is used, because mandatorily the air is sent facing toward the neck origin, also the body which becomes hot instantaneously cool down!! As a present of the father, how probably will be?

CHICAGO—Still fuming after his team blew a late-inning lead in a loss to the Rays Sunday, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen filled out Tuesday night's lineup card with a series of expletives, insults, and personal attacks on his players. The lineup card, posted in the dugout at approximately 6 p.m., referred to the team as the "Chicago Shit Sox," and read in part, "1. Orlando Fucking Cabrera, 2. Goddamn Motherfucking Neckless Bastard A.J. Shitbag Pierzynski DUMB!!! FUCK!!!, 3. Jermaine Fucking Gonna Dye Fucking Shit 0-For-5 Shitfuck Fuck Fucking Fucknuts Asshole Just Try Me Motherfucker." Guillen also announced that Nick Shitlicker [Swisher] would be starting in centerfield and Jim Thome would be the "designated fuckface." Upon noticing that "Cocksucking Assbag Motherfucking Shitfucking Numbnuts Fuckhole" was penciled into the No. 4 spot, Paul Konerko expressed delight that he was batting cleanup.

Maybe Bevington is next...

Cito Gaston named manager of Toronto... perhaps they should have kept Big Frank and let go John Gibbons go earlier.

Swearing chef prompts tighter #*@%& rules

CANBERRA (Reuters) - Foul-mouthed British chef Gordon Ramsay prompted Australia's parliament Thursday to push for tighter rules to protect viewers from swearing on television.

Ramsay's programs are ratings winners on free-to-air television in Australia, but prompted outrage earlier this year when one episode featured the volatile chef using a four-letter expletive more than 80 times in 40 minutes.

If the Bears need a QB

If?

What am I thinking?

Seems Henry Burris is still out there, tearing up the CFL. Perhaps he's "matured" into a great QB.

on the plus side, it will make it easier to drill for oil up there

News item: Arctic sea ice is melting even faster than last year, despite a cold winter.

More Crass

I mean Kass...

John Kass: Do Sox or Cubs have fatter fans?

Lessee, K-Mad & Fung vs Sarge & Corms. Hmm...

What happens in the Cubs-Sox series this weekend?

Cubs sweep (553 responses) 15.7%

Sox sweep (674 responses) 19.1%

Sox win two (1226 responses) 34.8%

Cubs win two (1073 responses) 30.4%

3526 total responses (Results not scientific, but idiotic)

Clearly, since this poll was conducted by the World's Awfulest Newspaper (tie), there's some skewage. Da Sox should be waaaaaay ahead in dis poll...

Mike Myers now officially old

The NYT's A. O. Scott delivers the smackdown:

["Less amusing than it should be"] might sum up “The Love Guru” in its entirety but only at the risk of grievously understating the movie’s awfulness. A whole new vocabulary seems to be required. To say that the movie is not funny is merely to affirm the obvious. The word “unfunny” surely applies to Mr. Myers’s obnoxious attempts to find mirth in physical and cultural differences but does not quite capture the strenuous unpleasantness of his performance. No, “The Love Guru” is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.

And this is, come to think of it, something of an achievement.

a shocking percentage of Lou Dobbs viewers have lapsed into a Lou Dobbs-viewing-induced coma (cont'd)

Do you believe the FDA already knows or suspects the source of the salmonella outbreak in tomatoes but is purposely keeping it from the public?

Yes 95%
No 5%
