I've always considered the Cubs my NL team...and I always root for them when I can. As a Red Sox fan, I shared in their hardship and downtrodden ways for a few years.
When they fired Tito Francona I was outraged. Theo Epstein saddled the team with these horrible players with horrible contracts and Tito takes the fall.
Typical Boston, no one is allowed to leave without a smear campaign. Citing marital problems and pain killer abuse on the part of Tito sickens me to no end, the Red Sox have lost a lifelong fan in me.
I will never, ever, pay for a ticket to watch this team play again under this management...and I doubt ever again. Which is sad, because I want to take my son to a ballgame when he's older.
The Red Sox have done this time and time again, however I think this time they've gone just too far.
As the Brookline Boy Wonder makes his job change (he sure gets to look like he's not being fired) Tito is in the booth calling a few playoff games with the class and integrity he's always had.
But no one gets to leave Boston without a few knives in the back, no matter what they've done. These accusations are disgusting, petty and show me that these are nothing but manboys with a lot of money, living in the fantasy world of sports where people are commodities and nothing more.
But I can't be a Cubs fan, because guess where Theo's gonna end up?
Screw you Warner. Screw you Larry. Screw you and your yacht Mr. Henry.
Goodbye Red Sox.
#OWS Is Full Of Entitled Maroons
on Monday, October 10, 2011
Jon Phoenix, a senior who studies political science, jumped up on a small concrete wall to address the crowd...
“College was supposed to be the be all, end all,” Phoenix said. “It’s supposed to be the place where no matter how crazy your background, you go into college, you come out and you’re supposed to be guaranteed entry into the middle class.”
Where did he get that idea? Did his Mommy & Daddy tell him that would happen?
The people you're seeing "protesting" "Wall Street" are the "everyone gets a trophy" generation. The "my son/daughter would never do that" generation. The "everyone is coddled and held and told how beautiful and special they are" generation. It comes to no shock whatsoever to me that they are now confronted by the real world and failing miserably. They've walked out of the college doors, released the hands of their advisors to find they haven't a single skill set at their disposal. All they have is the anger they've been infused with by their universities so they can go out, be leeches on society, become dependant on the government for everything and wind up slaves with a hive mind and no living skills.
They've never had to do a thing in their lives. Ever. Mom and Dad cleaned up after them, bought them their cars, paid their rent and bought them their groceries, sent them off to
But, they've been stomping their feet to get what they've wanted since they were toddlers, it's all they know. Their parents are new-agey kooks that don't believe in discipline or family values and have done their children a massive disservice. Their kids are useless shells of talentless nothings which, in turn, do society a massive disservice.
So now they're stomping their feet and pitching a tantrum because no one is holding their hands and giving them things anymore (though I'm sure a large portion of those "99%" have nice fat trust funds). They're staring at the edge of a cliff and demanding those that came before them give them what they want.
Sorry.
I remember when I went to college, the only thing guaranteed to me was a diploma...after that I had to enter the real world on my own.
I was under the impression that school, from kindergarten through college, was some way of "getting me ready" for the real world. I had no idea it was all a plan to guarantee my place in a specific class.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that I didn't realize this sooner. All that hard-work I did to apply to company after company, build my resume, move on to a different company, gain new skills, apply those at yet another company until I had reached a point where I was content with my accomplishments and was able to support myself and my family.
I can't believe I never caught on to this "middle class guarantee". Do you think it was in one of my orientation pamphlets? It had to be, I mean look how many people are "Occupying Wall Street"...they obviously read what I missed and are demanding things be given to them.
Why?! Why did I do all that work?
Anyway, try to follow the logic:
 | |
| Ralph! Get out there and start handing out jobs. NOW! |
 |
| Wait...I thought you wanted a job? I'm confused. |
 |
| Yeah bro. That sign is RAD. You are a true fighter bro. So deep. |
What Is Wrong With This World?
on Monday, October 3, 2011
(Alleged) Baby killers, tyrannical dictators slaughtering innocent people, and (alleged) drug-addled murdering rapists walk the streets. It seems a daily occurrence that we see an illegal immigrant kill an innocent American, while those we put into office to stop those very things refuse to make our country and states safer...use their political positions to perpetuate it in order to remain in power.
And here in America, where are the protesters and what are they protesting? They're disrupting the lives of the middle, working class while "protesting" Wall Street and rising health care costs. Why? Because they don't understand the world.
They are a hive-minded mob of over-educated idiots with such an obtuse sense of entitlement I would never be able to comprehend. They fail to see past their own noses, they fail to see a greater good because the greater good seems to start at my paycheck and end at their open palms. Only then will they even remove the blinders to the fact that there are other people in the world, not just them. They demand things they about which they have no clue, yet they have been brainwashed into thinking they do. They can't define them, or even articulate their "demands" - but dammit they're angry and they want it all now.
Everything from "I am Troy Davis" to "I hate mean cops" are the signs seen at this Occupy Wall Street "protest". It's senseless zombielike behavior I just don't understand.
They're a generation of perpetual children that simply need to feel as though they belong to some kind of movement. They hear their professors talk about the 60s and they dream about being involved in something, anything as important as a civil rights movement or a war protest...but they fail on every level.
They are as addicted to and their lives as filled and tethered to the very things they fight against. They begrudge their fellow Americans the very same rights and privileges they themselves already have...they just don't realize it.
They have no priorities. No sense of right or wrong. Their beliefs go where the wind blows yet their actions can be predicted with partisan accuracy.
How are they upset with "Wall Street" and not the atrocities that befall us daily? Is the devil so ingrained in the liberal ideology that it blinds them to what's really going on in the world?
Why are they so selfish? Why?
It's sad. I am sad for this country and the people that trample upon her face demanding everything without breaking a single drop of sweat. It makes me sad because generations upon generations before them fought, bled, died, toiled, labored and worked tirelessly to enjoy the beautiful fruit born from our Constitution.
I'm starting to wonder if these people fought and died in vein.
