Idiot of the Day - Steve McNair

All he needed to do was not throw an interception.  But, what does he do in the fourth quarter?  He throws TWO interceptions, which made my fantasy football team lose, and now I’m not tied for first place.  All Mr. Let’s Throw Directly at a Fifteen Foot Defenseman had to do was hand the ball off or throw the ball into the ground or fall down while holding onto the ball or take the ball and run out of the stadium.  But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, he’s throws two interceptions.  I hate Steve McNair.  You know what, all he had to do was get close enough for my kicker to kick a field goal and everything would’ve been fine.  Ugh, I hate him.  I suppose the rest of the Ravens probably hate him too.

Okay, Just One More - Boohoo, Belinda, Boohoo

Belinda Stronach Speaks Out on Alleged Domi Affair
Sep, 27 2006 - 3:50 AM

TORONTO - Liberal M.P. Belinda Stronach suggests media reports about her personal life point to a sexist double standard. She isn’t commenting specifically on the nature of the allegations, but says she thinks they wouldn’t be such a big deal if she were male. Stronach says that’s very ``unfortunate for other women in this country that want to seek political office and want to make a contribution.’
Allegations of an affair between Tie Domi and Stronach were in divorce papers filed by Domi’s estranged wife.

Double standard?  No, baby, you’re being accused just like Bill Clinton was accused, just like every other person who cheats on a spouse or cheats with a married person is accused.  If you can’t take the heat, perhaps you shouldn’t STEAL PEOPLE’S SPOUSES.  It’s just that damned simple.  By the way, if it makes you feel any better, Tie looks just as badly as you do, if not worse.  Oh, and if you want to make a contribution as a politician, how about you keep your pants zipped up?  That’s a totally excellent start.  Or, hey, you could go back to that nice Peter MacKay guy, he’s SINGLE.  Are we clear now?  You have lots of choices, but MARRIED MEN aren’t part of that choice, unless you enjoy the bad publicity.

Okay, I think I’m done now.  I just couldn’t let that stupid “double standard” statement stand.  My gawd, what nerve, to complain that slutty men get treated so much better in the press.  So, if you were a dude, it would be okay that you slept with someone else’s spouse?  Geeez.  There’s no way Belinda Stronach will ever be the Prime Minister with such a victim complex.  What a weak argument.  “Well, cheating men have it so much easier in society.”

John Ensign (R-Nev) Thinks Torture Is Yummy

Ensign said U.S. interrogators should be allowed to use the toughest techniques short of “torture” and should be legally protected from war crime accusations.

Ensign said he does not consider sleep deprivation to be a “torture” technique, nor “waterboarding,” in which a subject is dunked under water to near-drowning.

I have a proposal for our esteemed senator from Nevada.  Police officers in training are both tasered and shot in the face with pepper spray, so they know exactly what they’re subjecting others to when using their weapons.  If all of the senators who are in favor of these “techniques” that are not “torture” are willing to be questioned (about, say, cheating on their wives, accepting money from Jack Abramoff, lying about WMD, etc.) and be subjected to sleep deprivation and waterboarding, and then still are in favor of these “techniques” being used on prisoners, then I’ll allow them that vote without question.  Until then, the United States should be bound by the Geneva Conventions, like every other country in the world.  If we torture prisoners, that opens the door for other countries to torture our captured soldiers.  If that isn’t the epitome of not supporting the military, I don’t know what is.  Funny how the Republican senators who are NOT in favor of torturing enemy combatants all served honorably in our military.  Did John Ensign serve?  Of course not.

Idiot of the Day - The Archbishop of Canterbury

The archbishop of Canterbury has told homosexuals that they need to change their behaviour if they are to be welcomed into the church, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

Seriously, take a look at this dandy.  At least Dumbledore is fictional, but this guy is trying to tell people they need to be straight to be welcomed into his church.  Makes me giggle, it does.  Plus, you’d think they’d want to work out that little pedophile problem they have before they worry about what consenting adults do.  I honestly don’t understand why anyone, much less gay people, want to be a part of any church, but if they do, I don’t think a man wearing something that belongs on a float in a Gay Pride parade should be telling them they can’t.

You’ve Just Stolen $2.3 Million, What Will You Do With It?

I’m going to pay off all of our bills and our house, then invest the rest.  What did Annie Donnelly do with it?  I’ll bet the answer will surprise you.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A woman stole $2.3 million from her employers and spent the money on lottery tickets, buying as much as $6,000 worth of tickets a day in a bid to hit the jackpot, prosecutors said on Thursday.

YES, she bought six thousand scratchers a day.  To win money.  Uh, hello, she HAD the money!  She stole way more money than she’d ever be able to win with a scratch-off ticket.  I mean, geez, she wasn’t even buying Powerball tickets.  She was buying cheapo labor-intensive scratch off tickets.  What the hell kind of crazy addiction is that?  I understand drug addiction, alcohol, shoplifting, cutting, OCD, etc.  I don’t understand spending MORE money to get LESS money and having to work really hard to do so.  Seriously, if you want to gamble, just gamble.  Play blackjack or craps, or if you want terrible odds, play keno.  Even play boring slots.  But scratchers?  It’s mind-boggling.  Also, imagine how embarassing that’s going to be when her cellmate asks what she’s in for.
