Apparently, Connecticut news reporters have nothing better to do than to stir up trouble. The Hartford city attorney gets angry that this “reporter” brought a camera with him to the attorney’s office and asked him to take the camera outside. WFSB’s “journalist” replies that it is a public building, and the camera is allowed to be there. A confrontation ensues.

Just look at this moron’s responses to the city attorney’s requests to remove the camera. Look at how he repeatedly says “No”. “I really don’t care”. “Right back to you”. Do these not sound like the responses of your average 3 year old?

How I hate it when “journalists” try to be part of the story instead of reporting it. I understand that there is a difference between being in a public building and bringing a camera into it. Looks like Len Worsthoff doesn’t. Len, here’s some free advice. If you want to be a star, post a video on Youtube, don’t use your employers public platform to turn yourself into Joan of Arc.

Sheesh.

You can watch the video here.

This man is saying it better than I ever could. For all of those people who love America, you need to watch this video.

^%$#@ So now Brett Favre is playing for the Jets?!? Honestly, of all the teams he could have gone to he had to pick someone in the Patriots’ division?

Yet another reason for me to hate the Jets.

Seriously, as a die hard New England Patriots fan, you can understand that I have no love for the Green Bay Packers, especially Brett Favre.

Thankfully, Brett retired after the end of last season, or so I thought. This has to be one of the quickest changes of heart I’ve ever seen. Now, Brett is in the undesireable position of wanting to come back to a tesam that doesn’t want hime back. Now there is talk about him playing for another team. I’ve heard rumblings that the Jets and the Broncos were interested, but that’s it. Maybe one of these teams is so desperate for a trip to the playoffs they’ll blow big money on a few aging star players for “one last shot”, but I don’t see many teams lining up for a quarterback whose best days are clearly behind him.

Face it Brett, it’s over. You had a career that millions of kids can only dream of. You have a Super Bowl ring (that Parcells pretty much handed to you, but that’s another post). It’s time to salvage what’s left of your dignity and exit. Don’t be like Joe Montana who ended his career with Kansas City when everyone in the country remembers him with the 49ers. For crying out loud DONT be like Michael Jordan and try for upteen inglorious comebacks and dilute your legacy; also be sure to stay safely away from minor league baseball

It’s time to say good night, Brett. Don’t forget to take your Prilosec before you go to bed.

I’m watching this sad story unfold regarding missing 3 year old girl Caylee Anthony. Sadly, things are not looking good. Unfortunately, it looks like everybody is guilty of something here. The mother clearly doesn’t appear to be reacting like a typical mother who is missing her young child.

The grandmother clearly knows more than she is letting on.

In the middle of it all, however, is Nancy Grace-less. This woman, in my opinion, already has blood on her hands. A few years ago another mother reported her child missing and appeared on Ms. Grace’s show to appeal to the public to help find him. Ms. Grace instead grilled the heartbroken mother about why she was not being more forthright with the police about her whereabouts and activities at the time her son was kidnapped. The mother, already distraught over her young son’s disappearance, took her own life the next day.

But hey, let’s see another picture of the twins!

So there’s this “activist” in New York City who calls himself Jimmy Justice who videotapes police officers breaking the law (mostly parking violations) and posts them on Youtube.

According to Wikipedia: “He is known for becoming verbally violent on camera, often loosing [sic] his temper, screaming at the police.”

Nice! It’s good know that the September 11th attacks, in which many New York City police officers lost their lives, has not been lost on this guy

Being verbally abusive to police officers who are not doing anything to you? For what? Parking near a fire hydrant? Just an aside, why post them Youtube? Why not write your congressman? Why not write the mayor? Maybe it’s because you wouldn’t get nearly as much attention.

Admit it, Jimmy, this is 25% about police officers breaking the law, and 75% about you and your internet fame.

Your worse than a blogger

P.S. A true sign of a loser is one who gives himself a nickname.

Seriously, if there was ever a reason to hold on to guns, this is it. I hate these AFLAC commercials with the duck. Gilbert Gottfried has what is probably the most annoying voice in the world today, and I’m a Bob Dylan fan!!

Besides, how many in this series are there now? Fifty? One Hundred? Seriously, give it a break. The duck isn’t cute. The duck is annoying. Kill it.

Here’s another blog post that, like all intelligent people, agrees with me

Starbucks announced this week that 600 underperforming stores would be closed. There’s a story on Yahoo! news here that describes the schadenfreude (read: happiness about others misfortunes) that many feel about thousands of people losing their jobs in a time of declining home prices, a bear market, and skyrocketing food and fuel costs.

Seriously folks, how messed up do you have to be to be happy over someone losing their job in this economic environment? Do you really hate Starbucks that much? Look, it’s safe to say that Starbucks is probably the most expensive coffee in town. I personally funded the 401k’s of I don’t know how many baristas. So yeah, I know it’s expensive. I can only wonder how your precious quirky/funky/eclectic/community/whatever coffee shop couldn’t compete with Starbucks when they were probably selling coffee a whole lot cheaper. It’s a free market folks. That’s how it goes. If a competitor beats you with higher prices, you’re probably doing something wrong. Someone will come along and displace Starbucks someday, just like some other company will displace Wal-Mart and Best Buy and McDonalds.

Say, did you know that Starbucks was one of the first companies to offer health benefits to their part time employees? Does your funky/quirky/eclectic coffeehouse do that? Didn’t think so.

Long story short, people losing their job is nothing to celebrate. Here’s hoping Starbucks makes a comeback, but like the Yahoo! story says, it’s just coffee. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to bleed black and green.

Congratulations to MadTV for being unfunny for 300 episodes. Good grief this show is awful. Seriously, does anyone watch this show anymore?

Low life Massachusetts state representative James Fagan, is upset about Massachussetts considering passing “Jessica’s Law”. This legislation requires a 20-year sentence for rape of a child under 12. Sounds reasonable, no? Aparantly, James Fagan considers these penalties for child rapists “draconian”. His reason for his position against “Megan’s Law” is that it would force the lawyers defending these scumbags to be more forceful in their cross examination of the child victims. He’re what Fagan had to say:

“”Let me tell you why it’s so wrong, It’s so wrong because in these situations . . . that 6-year-old is going to sit in front of me, or somebody far worse than me and I’m going to rip them apart. I’m going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined. That when they’re 8 years old they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep. When they’re 19 years old they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody. And that’s not because I’m a nice guy. That’s because when you’re in court, and you’re defending somebody’s liberty, and you’re facing a mandatory sentence of those draconian proportions, you have to do every single thing you can do on behalf of your client. That is your obligation as a trial lawyer.”

What a thing to say. Does this person mean to imply that he would defend his client LESS vigorously if the potential penalty were less severe? Does he mean to imply that the only acceptable defense of a client is to brutalize the victims?

I have heard that many abuse cases of this nature go unreported. After reading this, is it any wonder?

This man is a disgrace.
