Munich

I went and saw Munich over the weekend. It was pretty good. Very intense.
What I walked away with was the sheer futility of the bloody fighting going on for this strip of land. It's nothing but endless retaliations. And what do the sides gain from this? Nothing. Just dead people and more children who are raised to believe that violence is their way of life.
These two sides are beyond talking... hell, they're beyond compromise. It won't be over until there is only one group of people who want this land left alive.
My question is, if some deity has granted ownership of this land to somebody and supposedly insists that they control it, why doesn't that deity get it's ass down here and do something about it. Seems hard to fathom that if some god really and truly has a preference as to who owns this wasteland, he'd rather kick back and let his chosen group make no progress towards gaining complete control. Some god that is. Jerk.

Matt Leinart is a jerkweed

From the AP report of the Rose Bowl:

Said Leinart: "I still think we're a better football team, they just made the plays in the end."

Dear Matt "Sore Loser" Leinart,

The better team was the one that won the game. Why? Because the best teams don't get cocky without properly preparing yourself. See, if you were as good as you thought you were, you would have won. The Better Team prepares for anything. The Better Team makes the key plays. The Better Team overcomes it's mistakes. That was not USC. They COULD have been the better team, but they instead decided to rely on the overconfident swagger they took to the game instead of thoroughly analyzing their opponents game strategies.
Consider these quotes:
"Well, we couldn't stop them when we had to," USC coach Pete Carroll said. "The quarterback ran all over the place." - AP
See, the "Better Team" stops the other team when they have to. That's what makes them "Better."
"We didn't get it done." Pete Carroll - AP
The "Better Team" gets the job done. See when you're "better" than somebody else, you don't leave a job less completed than the "non-better" group.
"I don't feel like we played well as a team today." Reggie Bush - AP
So, the "Better Team" didn't even perform like a team? Does that make any sense?
"We didn't tackle well. Hats off to them. We didn't understand how big and strong the guy really is. When you see a guy standing eye-to-eye to you, and he weighs just as much as you weigh, he poses a threat." Frostee Rucker - ESPN.com
Oh look, your team came unprepared. It wasn't as if Vince and the rest of the Longhorns weren't on TV like 12 times before you played them. Do you not have the ability to read press kits where it gives players heights & weights? Wow. I'm not impressed with "The Better Team" at all.
"Do whatever it takes." Vince Young - AP
And THAT is what the "Better Team" does.
So, Mr. Rose-Bowl-Loser-who-ain't-gonna-be-a-#1 pick, you and your team and your coach came into this game unprepared for the no-huddle, unaware of the speed of the D, somehow oblivious to the size of Vince, and unable to make plays when it counted. You failed the final exam. You ain't graduating college football valedictorian. You are second place.
And second place means that somebody else was better.
Have fun in the NFL, probably with a team that USC actually was "better" than.- AP

Well, add "Being knighted" to the list of useless

So, does the Queen just have nothing better to do than to hand out knighthoods to any bozo that achieved fame? Tom Jones?!!? He doesn't even seem British?

What the hell are the rules and qualifications for being knighted anyway? They can't be very strict. Fer the love of Chris, Tom Jones hasn't even done anything noteworthy in years!

I can't believe I'm even writing about this...

Hey Mexico! Get a clue!

More stupid news from stupid people:

Mexico protests shooting death of border-crosser
Mon Jan 2, 7:26 PM ET
Mexico protested the US Border Patrol's shooting of a young man attempting to cross illegally into the United States, after the man died in a Mexico hospital.
"We cannot tolerate this situation," said Alberto Lozano, a spokesman for the Mexican consulate in San Diego after the shooting Friday near San Ysidro, just south of San Diego.
According to Kevin Rooney of the San Diego police, a Border Patrol agent opened fire on the Guillermo Martinez-Rodriguez after he crossed the border with two other men late Friday.
Martinez-Rodriguez fled back into Mexico and died the next day in a Tijuana hospital.
According to Rooney, Martinez-Rodriguez had picked up some rocks and appeared about to throw them when the agent fired his gun.
The men were crossing at a fenced area of the border which the government is planning to fortify with multiple fences and a patrol road.

Okay, so the Mexican government is upset that one of their citizens was shot and killed. They aren't bothered that this guy was attempting to leave Mexico and enter another country illegally. No. They're pissed off because one of their citizens (who was trying to leave their country) was killed by another country trying to protect it's own border.
Dear Mexico, get a freaking clue. We don't owe your citizens anything. What's unacceptable is that your citizens don't feel as though they can make a life in your country so they illegally come here to do it. We are not your welfare office.
The Mexican government are a bunch of jackasses that seem to think they're owed something by the US. Guess what... we don't owe you squat.

Poem

Ray Grabeel is made of meat,
He don't like your smelly feet,
When he works he cuts some wood,
but he don't comb his hair too good.

When you prance on a bed of thongs
Old Man Willard bangs his gongs
I took the train to Sheboygan
So I could buy a Tea Toy Can

(This is the refrain)
Don't put your pants on
Don't take 'em off
When you got a meatloaf
better not cough

(15th Verse)
Clorox Bleach is made of people
I found 50 bucks in the steeple
That's where George made flavored bread
Out of Aunt Jamima's Head

Four words from a Batman Comic Book
Crystal MENSA defuse look
I've got a magnet that looks like Elvis
Best to not look at his Pelvis

Refrain

(3rd Verse)
Peas Peas Peas peas Peas peas Peas
Sneeze Sneeze Sneeze Sneeze Sneeze Sneeze Sneeze
Yes I guess that I am lazy
but at least I'm not that plazy

Made up words and sausage pinors
just to rhyme with words like minors
If that's what you thought it was
then you were wrong

Refrain x 6 1/2 times plus guitar solo and optional power windows. Fade Out and grab a beer, but not a good beer cuz you can't afford good beer, you'll have to drink that domestic crap out of a can like Coors or Borax. Was there a point to this? I forgot. Did you get the butter? I forgot the butter. Make somebody else get it. I'm in the tub. Not the butter tub though, that would be gross.

Intelligent Design is a crock o' shite

If you want to force public schools to teach intelligent design, a theory that has no basis in fact or testable investigation, as an alternative viewpoint to evolution, that's fine.
As long as you force churches to teach evolution as an alternate viewpoint to intelligent design/creationism.
I love the people who claim that athiests and/or evolutionists believe themselves to be so egotistical that they have no use for a god. Obviously man is far too superior to have been created by some all-powerful being. That doesn't even make sense. If there is no god and evolution is the answer, then you must realize that man is actually unimportant and has no particular value to the universe at all. We're here by chance. There is no ego to it. There is no point to our existance, we just are.
Now, some all-powerful being that creates a vast universe and then essentially gives it to humans to rule and decrees that man is his greatest creation.... well.... THAT'S egotistical.

Things to chat about

Bye Bye Mr. Hart! The Texas Rangers are already a better team just by having you leave it.

Katie & Tom.... I don't F***ing care. Maybe a bus with an ad for a psychiatrist will run them over.

Hockey is back! And it's scoring charged! Which means that any sort of creative tactics will go out the window and it'll be high scoring games! Kind of like basketball! BOOOOORING!

I still hate Rob Liefeld.
