Pardon the Rant

I finally can stop pretending to enjoy regular season baseball! Pre-season football is like a breath of fresh air, but it’s only a teaser. Soon to come are the Saturdays wasted on my couch watching college football, followed by Sundays watching the NFL, and then a legit excuse to skip FHE to watch Monday Night Football. SO CLOSE, I can taste it!! However in regular season baseball’s defense, I am very pumped about the Rangers getting Pudge Rodriguez and leading the AL Wildcard (entering Tuesday).

What in the hell is a world-class athlete going to rape a girl for? McNulty’s case accusing Ben Roethlisberger of rape is beginning to seem even more McNutty as facts continue to unfurl. Long gone are the days when people had honor and put their honor in their word. Here are the days when false accusations are spit for the sole purpose of finical gain and fame, even at the expense of one’s honor and trustworthiness. Growing up I was taught that trust with someone is like a having a bank account. When you lie, it’s like you have no money in the bank, and horrible credit, and no one can believe you. However, when trust is built it is like having money in the bank, with a great interest rate. How can people that make such hideous lies look at themselves in the mirror? There is a movie coming out called The Invention of Lying which, as much as a Romantic Comedy can, entertains the idea of a society in which everyone speaks the truth, and there is no reason to not believe what people say.

The NBC Store is selling Obama merchandise. My favorite item was the shirt with Mr. Obama’s portrait and the words “Yes We Did” written below. My question: Did what? A lot has been put in motion from the Obama administration, but seriously after about an 1/8^th of a term what has actually been “did”? Awesome how, according to Gallup, in 47 of the 50 states conservatives outnumber liberals, yet due to the media’s liberal voice, all we get, with some exceptions, is left-wing opinion.
