Crap that I'm Sick of...
Because there's crap...then, there's crap that I'm sick of
This week's top five:
1. Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. Right wing nut religious wackos have a new hero. On some level one has to admire the guy chutzpa at saying no to a law that he believes is silly, but on another level one has to wonder about a guy sworn to uphold the constitution who fails to see that Church and State are separate places, or sees himself above the law. Bring the rock to your church, Roy. If you want to erect a monument, how about a 5,000 pound rock celebrating the Bill of Rights? Side note: this cartoon is the funniest thing I have seen on the Ten Commandments flap.
2. The August Doldrums: I know the Red Sox pulled off an impressive victory over the Oakland A’s last night, but they still remain 7 games behind the Yanks and, although they are only 1 behind the A's in the Wild Card, their head-to-head with the A's this year (3-4) would have been a loser in a best of seven series. Also the Sox are 4-6 in their last ten games, which have all been against the A's or Mariners. God (the non-denominational kind) do I love being a Sox fan!
3. Little League World Series: Should kids be throwing curve balls? Should they have all the games televised nationally? Should a whole community pin its hopes and dreams on twelve-year-olds? When did Little League stop being fun?
4. SoBig worm. This is what happens when a free-market system spawns a monopoly: inferior product that has serious holes in it. I've received about 13 of these emails this past week. Next time I'm getting a Mac.
5. More deaths in Iraq. No jokes here folks; the UN building bombing in Baghdad was revolting. There is a line of thinking that claims the war, and the chaos that has ensued, has turned Iraq into a breeding ground for this kind of terrorism.
