Bunch of hacks.

So the magazine that sympathizes with terrorists got brought out to the woodshed on their false campus rape story.

Systematic failure everywhere.

Nobody will lose their jobs apparently.  Which I don't give a shit about.  I mean- if you want to read this crap that's on you.  The National Enquirer has more credibility.

What I don't get is why the left isn't more upset at the person who made up the story or the magazine?  Haven't they made it harder for actual rape victims to report?

All I get is excuses and criticisms and the right is happy now because of this.  Really makes no sense to me.  You'd think they'd boycott or want charges pressed against this person but apparently not.

I just don't get it.


I hope the magazine gets sued to the Stone Age.  F them.

Opening Day!

 

 

And it's supposed to snow this week.  Enough is enough.

Hero

 

 

This is the officer who was shot in the face by a felon when he was being pulled over.  Video is being released later this week.

 

 

The felon, was also in a car with other criminals, as the ankle bracelet on one of them alerted the police.

 

 

The man is a former war hero and saved Dic Donahue's life in the Marathon Bombing.

 

Hero.

 

 

Which why the protestors sicken me.  Screaming at the police.  A Harvard Student called the Commissioner  the n-word.  No word from Harvard.  Oklahoma will expel a frat for it- Harvard ok.

 

And immediately after the shooting, because this is the world we live in, the police showed black leaders the video showing what happened.

 

 

And still yelling and protests.

 

 

Just sad.

 

 

If he makes a full recovery, what a tough son of a bitch.

Indiana.....

 

 

Quick thought on all the stuff happening in Indiana.

 

 

First off....this law is in 20 other states and at the federal level.  So let's not attack this state alone.  Don't like it?  Abolish it all.

 

 

I for one have no idea why someone would care if someone else is gay or not.  Makes no sense to me.  But do you really want a government to tell business owners they have to do something if they don't believe in it?  That's a slippery slope.

 

 

Like this pizzeria.  Jesus Christ. Said they would serve gay people but wouldn't cater a gay wedding and people went nuts.

 

 

Who cares what these hicks think?  And they won't cater a wedding?  Oh well- go somewhere else.  Their loss.  Now they are getting threats and $100K in donations.  Strange world.

 

 

Bottom line.  Don't allow bigotry but don't force someone to do something they don't want to do for any reason.  Done.

 

 

Only good Indiana is Indiana Jones....

What is this world coming to....

 

 

So I occasionally peruse Gawker and Jezebel because I like to see how the other half thinks.  Usually I just ignore it but there was an article up there that really bothered me.

 

Apparently a rugby team from a college was shut down because 8 members at a party sang a rugby song.

 

 

And a feminist went to the party, which she wasn't invited and usually wouldn't go, to tape it and report it.

 

 

Ok then.

 

 

First things first.  I've sang many, many, many rugby songs.  Very, very, very, very offensive language.  Can't stress that enough.

 

There's been girls there as well.  Most of the time.  In fact the girls rugby team was much more offensive than us and usually out drank us as well.

 

 

So here's the thing- if you were so offended- just leave.  That's all.  Say this isn't for me and go to a different party.

 

If you were scared because you thought that these people who had no interaction with you were going to do these things to you than that's on you.  You are an idiot.

 

 

If you lobby a complaint against the team, and they approach you in a public place, offer their hand and say they'd like to discuss the issues with you either accept or don't.  But then don't lobby another complaint saying they made you uncomfortable.  Grow up.

 

 

I weep for the youth of America.

 

 

And I'd have no issues with my daughters singing/playing rugby songs.  None.

MBTA....

 

 

So the commute in Boston in 2015 has been a nightmare.  The MBTA has failed time and time again.

 

 

I know people are sick of me bitching about it but it really does have an impact on your life.  First off, I leave earlier and get home later.  The trains are PACKED.  The death march after you get off at South Station is unbearable.

 

 

This is all because it snowed in January and February.  That's what people can't understand from real cities with real transit.  Like- it's not snowing now so why the delays?  Or more importantly, why is this happening until the end of fucking March???!!!

 

 

Incompetence.  Corruption.

 

 

The sequence of events is amazing and defines Massachusetts.  Turns out the GM they hired racked up 8 grand in expenses before she started.  It's probably important to note here that the MBTA is 8 billion dollars in debt.  You read that right.

 

 

So storms come and they have to shut down service for a couple days in January.  Since that time- they are on a "recovery" schedule and can't get back up.

 

 

The GM quit.  Claims she wants to spend more time with her granddaughter after raking in 220K in taxpayer funds.

 

 

Special board set up to determine what the hell is going on.  Head of the board misses first day...as he is chilling in Jamaica.  Then has to resign.  Little tax problem.  About hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.

 

So to summarize....they hired someone to figure out why the debt ridden agency can't get it's trains to show up who didn't show up and is a tax cheat.

 

 

Another day at the MBTA.

 

 

What a disaster.  That's why I laugh whenever anyone says Boston can support the Olympics.  No it can't.

 

 

So how to fix it?  Easy.  Long....but easy.

 

 

1). Pensions are done.  It's killing the taxpayers and the agency.  If you are in the system now....congrats.  You can retire at 41.  Any new hires- no pension.

 

2).  Put the T in receivership.  Obviously they can't find a GM that can handle the situation.  Get someone (NOT FROM MASSACHUSETTS) to run it.  Cut the fat.  Get a budget.  Figure out how to pay the debt.

 

3). Fuck Keolonis.  That is the company that supplies the trains.  Get someone else- may cost more but have to do it for the long run.

 

 

Overall, this problem will take DECADES to fix.  The short term solution is going to be more taxes of course because that's all this state does.  But if they don't know how to spend the money you could give them billions and they'd fuck it up.  During all this they gave their top executives raises!

 

 

So the long and short of it is....fuck the MBTA.

Parade in danger....

 

 

Been a while digging myself out of the snow.

 

 

With more on the way, and ten foot snow banks, it looks like Southie may not be able to host the parade this year without help from the state.

 

 

Don't want the kids puking in the snow banks.

 

 

Anyhow, I have no issue whatsoever about the state giving extra funds to help Southie.  On one condition.  Very minor and shouldn't be an issue.

 

 

Gays can march.

 

 

That's all.

 

 

So you either drop your exclusion and allow gay people to march or good luck with the snow banks.

Done with snow

 

 

Another two hours of shoveling this morning after being out there all day yesterday.

 

No more.  Please.

 

I give up.  And more snow tomorrow. 

 

 

Awesome.

Do your job.

 

 

Welp, the Patriots are champions again.

 

Another SB victory, another parade, another controversy.

 

 

But I got to tell you.  Deep down I didn't think they would do it.  That game took years off my life.

 

 

Now we just need one for the thumb....

So....

 

 

Record snowfall amounts.

 

Going to surpass Blizzard of 78.

 

 

Terrible to see what global warming has done.  Just terrible.

Deflategate is....

 

Stupid. Stupid.  Stupid.

 

 

Bad look for the Pats.

 

 

Ultimately meaningless.

 

 

We are on to the Superbowl.

I want to buy this guy a beer.

The gentlemen that confronted the assholes from yesterday can have a beer on me any time we meet.

Well, well done.

Assholes.



 

Fucking assholes.

 

 

Blocking the road today.  4 hours  to get in.

 

 

Must be nice not having a job to go to.

 

 

Ambulance had to be diverted.

 

 

Love these idiots.  We hate cops.  Help us cops we are trapped to a barrel.

 

 

18 month mandatory sentence for each of them.  Not like society will miss them.

 

 

And I love their supporters- you are mad about this than you are a racist.

 

 

Fuck them all.

Not worried at all....

 

 

Should I be worried about this game?

 

Because I'm not at all.  0%.

 

Ravens were a great test.  But Indy is going to lose by 20.  And it's off to the Superbowl where then I will worry.  Emotionally I can't handle another SB loss.

 

But we will cross that bridge when we come to it....

Ray Lewis should be in jail. Instead he gets to go on TV and say things like this every week:

 

 

“Listen, not to go all totally out of conscious [I believe he meant ‘context’], but just think about this, Stephen A., honest to God,” Lewis said. “When we — the first time we created something called a tuck rule, it’s the only reason we know — I’m just being honest! — the only reason we know who Tom Brady is, because of a tuck rule! There’s no such thing as a tuck rule! If the ball is in your hand, and I knock it out your hand, whether it’s going backwards, forwards, lateral, sideways, however it’s coming out, that’s a freaking fumble!
“But guess what we created? We created a freaking tuck rule!”
Hearing Lewis say that the tuck rule is the only reason we know about a man who’s won three Super Bowls, has twice been named NFL MVP (including the first-ever unanimous MVP), has made 10 Pro Bowls, has three times been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Year, owns the best winning percentage of all time and has been the one constant on the field in arguably the longest sustained run of success any one team has endured in NFL history … Stephen A. Smith had to ask: Did you really just say that?


Only in America....

This story is so fake....

No way Rob Konrad fell off his fishing boat and swam 9 miles, 27 miles, whatever it is without major injuries.

I cannot, cannot wait for this story to unravel.  Can't do it fast enough for me.

And the winner is....

Before the devastating prequels, if you told me Star Wars 7 was coming out I'd tell you no movie could top my anticipation.

But after watching this a few times...got to tell you...I am very, very excited.

This is the series Empire.  I feel very bad things are going to happen.

And I cannot wait.

How I choose to remember her

 

 

Yasmeen Bleeth doesn't go out in public much anymore.

 

 

She at one time was my favorite on Baywatch.  Hands down.  Pamela Anderson?  Overrated.

 

 

Saw a picture of her on Venice Beach from the other day (overrated beach).

 

 

Let's just say that I chose this pic instead of that one.

 

 

This is how I choose to remember her.
