Well dear readers yet another season of Major League Baseball is at an end. Or so I’m told. I am here at RiteAid in line at the pharmaceutical counter writing on my BlackBerry. I’ve been here for days. I get to the front, they say that they “don’t have my prescription Stephany” and suggest I wait.
How do they know my name? Have I been here already this month? Anyway, while I’ve been here waiting for my blue happiness in a bottle, I’ve watched quite a bit of programming on the Television here in the waiting area. Not being much of a TV watcher at home, I am not familiar with many of the names and faces - but that didn’t seem to be much of a problem. All that was on was a 24 hour celebration of the Democratic Presidential Candidate Barrack Obama. On every channel.
I began to seriously wonder if there was still another candidate running in the election. Perhaps the US media has decided we will be a better nation with only a one party system. Well…the Media does know best after all. And besides…the American people are so fed up with what W has done that they are willing to vote in ANYBODY regardless of qualification or ability or nefarious affiliation in college.
There was one pundit who… I believe was on a comedy news program, if there can be such a thing. His main complaint was that nothing good came out of the W years… but then I realized that this very pundit’s DAILY lively hood and SHOW popularity were an outcome of the W years.
Otherwise he would still be just another mediocre Jewish comic from New York. Let’s be mindful of how we arrived at our station in life… shall we?
Hey… what do you say we all go to Harvard Law School!? After all… I think it’s FREE!!!! And then… let’s get some foreign backing for a run at the US Senate it’s not free however… it comes with policy strings attached. What strings? We shall see in the next few years. You may be asking yourself ”Stephany…what happened to your sports articles?...why politics now?”
Well…my little sycophants… are they not all games? Are we not all just marks? MLB survived Pete Rose, Rome survived Commudus, and the US will survive the results of this election.
So… back to some sports news. It seems that during the Olympics, the Chinese Government was tracking the actions of several U.S. Athletes. Among them softballers Jennie Finch, Natasha Watley, and Amanda Freed. Seems that these 3 athletes are very particular and are known to go out for Chinese but to blatantly ask for “NO MSG” in front of all patrons.
Chinese secret service persons were ready to pounce upon any uttering of the syllables ‘Mono,” “Sodium,” and “goldmedal.” One thing about Chinese Secret Service…they are nearly invisible to the naked eye... and they are legion.
This week, the worlds greatest FAIL boxer is hanging up his gloves. Peter Buckley could not see himself losing his 257th bout… so he retired. A livid Gabby Jay said from his Paris loft: "Ce putain de mère fils de pute ... nous ont été prévues dans à la lutte Mars. Maintenant, la chatte départ à la retraite? Je croyais que les Français ont abandonné si facilement, non? Quelle putain de chatte girly homme Pensée mother fucker."
Easy Gabby… maybe you can find Glass Joe’s agent’s phone number somewhere….
And lastly... as I mentioned at the top, Baseball season is over.
Congrats to the Philadelphia Phillies. Shall we all brace ourselves for a torrent of Philly fan initiated inaccurate slurs, misused hyperbole, and testosterone and alcohol fueled bravado not seen or heard since…
well since the Red Sox fans last opened their collective Nation mouths.
Now… when does the next great baseball season start? Right after the re-distribution of wealth has begun...
