Mark Cuban recently printed some of the e-mail he received about the Howard mess and it sounds like some of the e-mail I receive.
One read: JOSH HOWARD IS NOTHING BUT A DUMB COON NIGGER. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TEACH HIS MONKEY ASS SOME DAM RESPECT FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.”
Another read: “Hi Mark,Did you know Josh Howard was an America hater when you signed him or was it a surprise? “I don’t spend my money on this NBA shit, I am white.
Another: Tell Howard that him and Hussein Obama can go to another country and live if they don’t want to support our symbol of freedom.”
So who is more igroant?

A great article from David Zirin of SLAM -
Count me out of the fraternity of sports writers who under a kabuki pantomime of liberalism will “defend Howard’s right to say what he wants” and then crush him for opening his mouth.
Take J.A. Adande of ESPN.com. He starts his anti-Howard piece by writing:
“What makes America the best country on the planet is that you are free to stand or sit for the national anthem, to sing along or to yell in anger at the government as much as you want without getting tossed in jail for your political beliefs.”
What claptrap. Someone needs to send Adande a copy of the Patriot Act. Or maybe he could ask the people who attempted to exercise their Constitutional rights to “yell in anger” at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN, only to be subject to”pre-emptive” raids and prison. Maybe he could ask the journalists who were beaten and arrested by police for attempting to report on it.

Shame on you, S.A. Smith for throwing a brother under the bus like that, you suck. You and the ESPN writers are really bunch of idiots, trying to paint Josh like an angry black man, an idiot and a bigot, yet he knew the war was all for making a fucking profit. That alone made him smarter than 50% of the American!
Also, what is wrong with smoking weed? No one has ever die from smoking weed while alcohol and tobacco are killing people on a daily basis. People need to stop this fucking hypocrisy, and start using their brains.

A great comment from Nicholas D. Kristof of NY Times’ blog regarding his latest article -
The Push to ‘Otherize’ Obama
We Americans never cease to embarrass ourselves. The idea that Obama’s religion is more significant than the mess we’re in after nearly 30 years of irresponsible economic decisions is boggling. Is it laziness or ignorance or perhaps the intellectual and academic laziness that makes us ignorant? Personally, I’d prefer to see an atheist or agnostic in office, one who I can be certain will rely on science and thorough study to do what’s right. I agree nevertheless that the silly Muslim rumors are designed to bring out the ugliest in us, not our best. I cringe when I see national polls as I understand that so many of those being polled really couldn’t give a hoot about the critical issues being discussed.

oh yeah, that’s right, Mr. Kneale said there’s nothing wrong for these CEO to get 150+million dollars bonus while their companies collapse and people losing their job and life saving.
Congratulation! asshole, you are now on my full of shit list.
What country is it they’re putting first? Is it a country in the service of their children’s future or one serving the conceit of a deferred personal identity? The picture of Republicanism in America represented by their convention, seemed more a gathering of self-styled pseudo-cowboys and shallow-eyed Stepford wives, than one of a hearty and loyal opposition. In particular, I found myself taken aback by the instant will to embrace Palin as their new champion. Full disclosure, I’ve spent a lot of time in Wasilla, Alaska, where she was mayor. I’ve even seen Wasilla booming. By that, I mean, an afternoon where, with a little effort, one could find three of four people on the streets. It’s a beautiful town in a beautiful state. But, it’s smaller than my children’s pre-school. Since then, she’s had a little less than two years in the governorship leading to a boldly received lie about a bridge at this year’s convention. Is this really the example of earned and competent leadership that we want to put one heartbeat away from the presidency leading our children’s country? Or are we simply enabling Palin (declared by former Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee a “cocky wacko”) the hubris of her reckless acceptance of John McCain’s wildly irresponsible invitation? When did we start pridefully championing those who win the contest of lottery over those who offer substance, and those whose lifelong cultural and political curiosity has the limitations of a single sparsely populated state?
By the way, I really hate the way that pitbull bite her lips… gosh, it’s annoying.

I don’t know shit about economy, but when the dow dropped more than 500 points today and the Lehman brothers is going bankrupt, you know the economy is going down the shithole. Hmmm… I am really starting to think that McCain is the reincarnation of Herbert Hoover now…

The following will be the mottos of this blog:

- I don’t have pet peeves — I have major psychotic fucking hatreds!

- No one knows what’s next, but everybody does it.
- There are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven you can’t say on television. What a ratio that is! 399,993 to 7. They must really be baaaad. They must be OUTRAGEOUS to be separated from a group that large. “All of you words over here, you seven….baaaad words.” That’s what they told us, right? …You know the seven, don’t ya? That you can’t say on TV? Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.
- The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”
- The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.
- Just when I discovered the meaning of life, they changed it.
- Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.
- Weather forecast for tonight: Dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.

- I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.
- When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front-row seat.
- Eventually, alas, I realized the main purpose of buying cocaine is to run out of it.
- I never fucked a ten, but one night, I fucked five twos.

- I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a man nailed to two pieces of wood.
- Have you noticed that most of the women who are against abortion are women you wouldn’t want to fuck in the first place? There’s such balance in nature.
- So I say, “Live and let live.” That’s my motto. “Live and let live.” Anyone who can’t go along with that, take him outside and shoot the motherfucker. It’s a simple philosophy, but it’s always worked in our family.
- Catholic — which I was until I reached the age of reason.
- Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

- In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem.
- Once you leave the womb, conservatives don’t care about you until you reach military age. Then you’re just what they’re looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.
