“TaserTown” – In Baseball and Politics
Many days after it happened, the Taser knockdown of a trespassing Phillie’s fan is still the rage of the world. What the world-famous photo doesn’t tell you is the real story of the fear and anxiety of those who protect us. Obviously the officer involved didn’t intend his Taser attack to hurt the kid, or embarrass Philadelphia. Who knew what would happen next? Just ask tennis star Monica Seles how frightening it was to be stabbed by a crazy fan years ago. Fortunately, in this case, the fan was not dangerous. But it’s easy to second-guess cops who have to make split second decisions.
What would you do? The answer is anything to stop what could have been a very dangerous situation. The officer did what he thought was correct. You would do the same thing.
The sad part of this story is the world’s reaction to a controversial photo, and the eventual impact on the fan, who probably regrets his action.
All this may be a warning to the flash mobs that caused havoc in Center City a few months ago. The message is that there will be consequences for unruly action, whether it be jumping the field at the park, or breaking the law in Center City.
SPECTER AND SESTAK COULD LEARN FROM GOVERNOR CANDIDATES
Unless I’m missing something, something is missing from the Sestak-Specter battle for the Democratic Senate nomination: issues. The two are sending Taser-like verbal take downs on the air and in their statements. They could learn, and learn a lot, from the Democratic candidates for Governor. That race with Dan Onorato, Joe Hoeffel, Jack Wagner and Tony Williams has featured lively debate about fiscal issues, social policy and the size of government. Specter-Sestak, however, featured a repertoire of nasty accusations. Should we expect more? Yes!

Waiting for the 7:01. Enough with the wind already.
Larry another extremely weak effort on your behalf. Very weak. Did you even change the topic? No one gives a shit about Specter-Sestak. Not even the 2 of them. Furthermore you missed the point on the tazer episode at Citizens Park. The police tazed this kid because they are afraid of criminals? What threat did this kid pose? They tazed the kid because they were pissed off this kid ran on the field and they had to chase him. Most cops are fat and out of shape. This represented the most physical activity they had since the police academy. They drive around all day eating donuts and drinking coffee.
The answer is not to taze but perhaps this will serve as a deterent to the next drunken moron that thinks about running onto the field. Tazing is not life threatening except in limited health situations. This was not Rodney King for God’s sake. Perhaps the answer is hockey-like net or plexiglass around the field to keep the fans off the field. Maybe no live attendance like intercity schools.
One World. One World. Let’s get together and make it all feel allright. Barack is set to bail out Greece and the Euro and the rest of Europe. Their experiment in socialism has failed miserably. Let’s bail them out and try it here as well! Yeah that’s the ticket. Seems that every 40-50 years we have to bail out our sophisticated euro breathren. WWI. WWII. Now financially. Write a check. It’s for the common good. One World. What do WE get out of it? Barack is a tool. Very dangerous but not too sharp.
Alas Cindi Lauper finally bids adieu. As predicted the wacked out 80′s singer leaves the Celeb Apprentice. The decision was much simpler than The Donald let on. This show is wrought false drama and staged interpersonal skirmishes. And The Donald with his pouty faced looks and roadkill hair. Pleaseeeee. Despite it all it works on some level. The celebrity alternative to the creton little yuppies saved the show. For better or worse Celeb Apprentice destroys the competition on Sunday nights. Maybe because there is nothing else on except the swarmy 60 Minutes. Did you ever wonder why anyone ever watches 60 Minutes?
Taze this topic Larry! Maybe Larry needs to be tazed. Snap out of it man!
Biden/Biden in 2012! Impeach this fraud.
The Lord Abott correctly called market
reaction to EU package, Dow indicated
up 400 points, soverign credit spreads
gaping in, its going to be a very good
day in Mudville for Mr Abott.
Larry is correct today, what he doesn’t
Say is this taser issue would be much
different if the trespasser on the field
had been black. There would be
unimaginable outrage from the race
hustlers. The cop may have only had the
courage to tase the boy because he was
white. I agree that a little more
agressive policing against the flash mobers
such as tasing will end flash mobs
immediately, but do the cops have the
courage to tase black boys? Tasers
are the fire hoses of the 21st century
and they should be used agressively to
get the City under control.
All hail the mighty Wizard of Wall Street! You can not see Lord Abott today. Perhaps you can come back in 20 years.
I am the Wizard of Episodal Television. You can not see me today. Perhaps you can repeatedly see me in syndication.
“[T]he Taser knockdown of a tresspassing Phillie’s [sic] fan is still the rage of the world.” Hyperbolic much? Live in a bubble much?
The real rage of the world is the rampant spread of communism in the United States. Red states indeed. Did you know that the people in those states COLLECTIVELY OWN THE ROADS? It’s some kind of workers’ paradise, where they tax the wealthy to maintain their public parks, roads, governmental services. It’s all part of an insidious communist plot. I mean, we Tea Partiers won’t even drive on those commie roads. We want government out of road ownership. Private property is the answer. That way, I can charge people a $100 toll to drive past my house. That’s smart business!
TPEPR must have had his gentials or brain tazed. A true Tea Party Patriot would recognize the difference between common good, health and welfare legislature and law versus insidious government takeover of private health care and public companies. What is next? Big brother in our bathrooms for our own safety? TPEPR, don’t drop your soap on a rope.
“Still the rage of the world.” Well until yesterday when a fan at a golf match got tased.Topic change please,this one’s dead in the water.
YAP, what say you on Flyers this evening? Do you think they’ve got another road win in their tank?
YAP, this topic was done a week ago. Larry is suffering from dementia I suspect.
AA, I did not like you on M*A*S*H and I don’t like your politics. You and that clown TPEPR should get along famously.
May be security at Citizens Park should Pez people instead of tase them. You know what they say, honey gets the bee. They could use Pez dispensers with Frank Rizzo’s head. Back in the day, Frank Rizzo would have been happy to tase every knucklehead that got out of line.
Fish-They probably lose but since we’re talking about two bad teams,who knows ? I’ve been much more interested in the Pitt-Montreal series,probably will watch that tonight.
Larry, they oughta taze that Arlen Specter to make sure he still has a heart beat. I’m no Democrat but the thought of Democrats electing this old mule back to the Senate rings of complete stupidity. What has he to offer? He’s old, he’s a former Republican, and he’s lost all his seniority in the Senate, and he’s a Jew BTW.
So we’re going to have another extreamly liberal Jewish woman on the court, where’s the diversity? Her father a NYC housing lawyer, and mother a public school teacher. Take a look at housing and public schools in NYC, and you can figure out everthing you need to know about this woman. She is also physically obese and remarkably unattractive. She kept the military off campus at Harvard. Thank God for the Bush appointess, both father and son, have made the greatest contribution to the Supreme Court. Ruth Bader Ginsberg is seriouly ill, but thats moot since she will likely be replaced by Obama. What a mess!
Waiting for the 6:25. Going in early this AM. Full day ahead. Meeting with Miss White’s 3rd Grade class from Clayton Elementary School. I love these meet and greets with grade schoolers. Except this one little twerp from Wilmington that asked me why my hair looked funny. My response: “Donald Trump’s hair looks funny. My hair looks natural for a 67 year old.” He wouldn’t understand the whole hair plug thingy.
Barack has done it again. He is selecting a personal friend to be a Supreme Court Judge? Pussy Foot above hit on some interesting points about Elena Kagan. Another erudite elitest with zero practical experience. Barack loves to surround himself with these tools. They look and sound good even if they have no clue or will be ineffective. Kind of like your college professors. They could not make it in the real world so they settled for academia. Kagan is extremely dangerous because she is uber liberal. God only knows how the balance in the court will be upset by another uber liberal. Does she have any experience as a judge what so ever? Oh that’s right in this administration experience is frowned upon. It’s all about One World and socialism and reinventing the wheel.
Where is that jobs program Barack? What have you done to stimulate the housing market? Wishing and hoping and rhetoric is not getting it done Barack Copperfield. Illusions only fool the simplest of Americans like your fellow tools Leo and Tea Party Express Patriot Revolutionary. Of course they are one in the same. God why did I ever accept a position on this ticket?
Flyers are showing signs of life with Gagne back. Do they have 2 more wins in them? Nah.
Halladay and 4 days of rain!
This site truly has become Larry’s Jurrasic Park. Only lame old dudes come here to talk about other lame old dudes. Larry must be so proud. Will this be his legacy or his troubled show on CN8?
Do we have to hope for a local death in order to get an obit and change the topic here? Larry how about an observation on Lena Horne? How she was the crossover Jackie Robinson of the entertainment business. Enough with the tazing and 2 old farts with last names starting with S. Time for the pallets. CLEAR!
Big Mike is the next to go off of Idol. Despite Simon’s repeated efforts to get rid of Casey James it is time for the supersized one Michael Lynche to bid farewell. Is it just me or does he always look like the Incredible Hulk about to bust out of his clothes? Why does Simon hate Casey so? Because Casey is the type of kid that got the girls in HS and poor Simon was left at home thinking of mean things to say to future Idol contestants? Perhaps. And has anyone ever been more overhyped than Crystal Bowersox?
Where have all the Conservatives gone?
Biden/Biden in 2012! God help us all!
Hey VP Joe, saw you on Today show, you
made a fool of yourself talking about
Kagen and Spector. You confirmed that
the court is not really diverse, mocked
your law school alma mater and plug your
son for going to Harvard. You never
dissapoint, its like having a mentally
challenged VP, you are ” special” Joe!
Thanks Lord Abott I appreciate the kudos. Just VP Joe being VP Joe. I fit right in with the rest of the tools in this administration. Dangerous but not very sharp.
Guys, I found out that Sarah Palin socialized oil in Alaska. She took millions of gallons away from the companies that produced it. Then she sold the oil and redistributed the wealth. Watch out. She’s a closeted socialist!
We know what kind of closet character TPEPR is and it’s not the socialist variety.
YAP, how bout them Flyers? Going into Beatown and shuting down the Bruins without Boucher. I guess Bobby Clarke may have to cancel his team times in Medicine Hat for a week or two.
Larry’s Jurrasic Park. I like that. I did not see Joe on Today this morning but wish I had.
Yo Fish-Good show last night.I wore out the remote going back & forth between the two games & then making time for 24.I guess this series is going seven too.
YAP, just when you thought we were seeing the kinder, gentler Jack Bauer he goes medieval on the Russian. Ripping his guts out with pliers. Spraying gasoline on wounds. Propane torching him. Then calmly gutting him to get the sem card. Pulls the bloody card out of his stomach. Wipes it off and calls CID. Just so happens Charles Logan is the last person to call. Jumping the shark has been the theme for this season. Last night the shark jumped out of the tank.
I’m surprised that previews showed Jack pulling Logan out of his limo. Where is the suspense?
Just thought I’d share my thoughts.
I wonder when the Russian’s cellphone plan expired?
Elena Kagan claimed the Constitution was defective when it was drafted. How dare she! Everyone knows women and minorities are property and shouldn’t be allowed to vote. We’re taking back our country, taking it all the way back to the 1790s!
Keep filling up Larry’s space with your musings TPEPR. You are the classic jealous liberal fool.
Constitution? We don’t need no stinking Constitution!
Fish Filet I should dump you in Boston Harbor for expressing such a sacrilegious sentiment. I love the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. That’s why we’re taking this country back to a past that existed hitherto only in our minds. It will be a paradise for white capitalist men. If you were a man and not a slice of meat, maybe you’d join us. Kagan is wrong. The Constitution is perfect and always was. The USA is perfect and always was, even when its people were killing each other. USA! USA!
“even when its people were killing each other.” tperp-they were just southerners,no need to get excited.
fish-i’m going to miss 24,no matter how much belief had to be suspended.wednesday is another conflict,habs-pens & philly-boston on at the same timethe nhl-nba conflict in boston on sunday has screwed up tv watching enjoyment.
oh man,the grammar police wil be all over me for that last line.fire away boys.
Grammar police left with Leo and oeL. Leo’s puppets are swarmy but not preoccupied with grammar and spelling.
Celtics window has closed. They can’t beat Cavs, Magic or LA in 7 game series.
I’ve been at Jeff Memorial with Beau as he recovers. He’ll be fine. He’s from good stock. We Bidens are tough old birds. Barack gave me the day off. I’ve been eating hospital cafeteria food for 24 hours. I think I’ll sneak over to Cuba Libre for a cuban sandwich at lunchtime.
Yankee Air Pirate I would not be too concerned about spelling or grammar here. No one proof reads their work. First draft equals final draft. Not even our teleprompter reading newsman proofs his posts. It is a sad commentary on America. Everyone is too busy. No one gives a shit anymore. You have successfully flown under the radar. NOE no doubt.
Looking forward to Flyers game. I have my Bobby Clarke jersey sitting out in the living room. I’ll throw it on at gametime. A couple of brewskis and buffalo wings and a jar of lightly salted peanuts. Drop the puck!
Elena Kagan looks strangely similar to Sonia Sotomayor. Do you think that Barack has a thing for fat ugly latin-looking chicks? Or is this just nepotism or patronising women? In any case he is making bad decisions. He continues to make bad decisions. Most of the time he just fails to make decisions. He could be the worst and most ineffective President of all time. He ignores the real issues and touts the socialistic agenda. He is a tool. Dangerous but not sharp.
Dry run in Rehoboth this weekend. Staying at our condo and checking out the early summer activity at the Parrot. The Parrot doesn’t get rocking until after Memorial Day weekend but what the hay. It beats another boring family weekend at the Biden estate. Kamikazes here I come. Bonzai!
Celtics beat Cavs? Hmmm. NBA fixed? All series go 7 games for max revenue? I would not doubt it. The NBA truly sucks. Not Basketball Anymore. 6ers suck too. Where is Dr J when you need him?
Biden and Biden in 2012! Let’s flip the White House.
“All series go 7 games for max revenue?” I would not doubt it.joe-back when eddie gottlieb was running the nba,the suspicion was that the best of seven became you win three,i’ll win three & we’ll play the last one for keeps.hence max revenue.maybe a bit quick with that call,eh fish ? the celts can close out those never won a title buffoons,james can throw all the powder in the air he wants,he hasn’t won anything.
joe,reho was nice last weekend,got some beach time saturday, a couple of pops at dogfish & a nice dinner at salt air.
fish-if you’re enjoying those “history will be made” promos on versus then go to youtube for the parodies.”what if avery wasn’t a dick” is my favorite but there’s also “what if crosby hadn’t taken a dive” & “what if dion phanuef hadn’t froze” among others.good stuff.
Some GOPers are claiming that “Drill, Baby, Drill!” was never a U.S. Senate GOP slogan. But Palin would have been PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE if she’d been elected McCain’s VP. I guess they know that she wasn’t really in the GOP. She was the first Tea Partier. She had a big party with federal earmark money she took to make sure it wasn’t wasted on volcano research! Go Tea Party. DRILL, BABY, DRILL!
What if Dion Phaneuf hadn’t had sloppy seconds?
TPERP-Actually that might be the parody.
Welcome from Tasertown – the City of Brotherly Love – that of course is Philadelphia. The Spirit of 1776. Where Santa Claus got booed and Michael Vick cheered. Where Rocky is legendary and Leonard Tose is infamous. Where the Eagles took 2 way standout Leroy Keyes out of Purdue in the 1969 NFL Draft. Where Mike Schmidt got booed but Tony Taylor was treated like a hero. Where Sonny Jurgenson sucked and so did Norm Snead. Where got Don Drysdale booed but Vince Papale was a legend. Where the Declaration of Independence was signed and our nation was born. We celebrate Philadelphia and the great fans of the city.
Leroy freakin Keyes was #2 overall pick behind Orenthenal James Simpson in 1969. Who remembers LK? I guess that because he never killed anyone.
YAP, do nor encourage this TPERP (or should that be TWERP?) character. He is a left wing whacko.
YAP, will check out YouTube tonight. Oh wait, games are on tonight. May be tomorrow during work :-)
Fellows, imagine the smell of Kagen’s vagina. Have not figured out her orientation yet. It would be understandable if she were an unmarried heterosexual. Who would you rather be stranded on a deserted Island with; Janet Reno, or Kagen?
Waiting for the 6:25.
How bout them Flyers? I think they are going to win the series now. Boston is kaput. Now #7 vs #8. Unbelievable.
Halladay and 4 days of rain. Wait that no longer applies if he can’t pitch 9. Make that Halladay a complete game and 4 days of rain.
Pussy Foot to your question. Is suicide a third option? How about Wilson the volleyball?
This Tea Bag Patriot guy is really something. He makes about as much sense as Barack. He makes me sound like a genius.
I’d like to thank all of you for the outpouring of support for Beau. We’ve received thousands of letters and tons of flowers. Please remember this when he is running with me in 2012. We are half way to the Wizard of Oz. I don’t have a brain. He doesn’t have a heart. All we need is Dorothy and the Tinman. Barack is a tinman but I don’t want that tool in my administration. There ain’t enough oil in Saudi Arabia to change him from being a clunker. Dangerous but not sharp.
Leroy Keyes? Wow someone is older than dirt.
Time to change the topic Larry. This is becoming bizzaro world.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Impeachment now!
They are dancing on Rue St.Catherine today as the Habs dispatch the mighty Pens.Can a team seeded 8th win the Cup ? Right now I wouldn’t bet against them.
Pussy Foot-I think you need to pussy foot around again.That’s an image I just as soon forget.
We had Glenn Beck over for a Tea Bag Express with Limbaugh last night. Man, those guys know it all. They even had nice young men carrying their luggage.
We hear today that the South Philadelphia principal, Brown, was not even certified to be a principal. This woman allowed for a pogram against Asian students, ethnically disparraged them, referring to their English study center as “that Dynasty” among other slurs. Children came damn near close to being killed. Yet, when this story hit Larry called for the principal to be transferred. What? Really? Seriously?
If a teacher of German origin treated Jewish students with such disdain and risked a pogram against them, there would be no gray area. The pricipal was accorded special defference because of her race, and the violence toward the students was tolerated because of their race. This story is a disgrace, and the white mamsy pamsy enablers who allowed it, or looked the other way, should be held accountable.
Larry, the Pussy Foot urges you to speak out and correct your public statements about this racial tragedy. It’s okay to be wrong, or to misread a situation, but now with all the facts, you need to be the stand up guy we think you are and speak out to condemn this pricipal and the administrators who protected her!!
The police need to start tasering racist
high school priciples that are complicit in
inciting riots and nearly killing Asian
students.
A Philadelphia police office dropped the N-word
to a Temple university journalist and
was suspended and almost lost his job.
Yet a black priciple spews anti Asian
vitriol, signals to black students by her
actions that she tolerates violence toward
Asians, and she only loses her job because
it was finally found she was not certified.
Hey Larry, what does that black journalist who
writes about whites saying mean things in
reasturants think about this principle?
Will she write a column and condemn her behavior?
Or, are white men wispering offensive comments
in a private coversation more dangerous than this
principal Brown? Brown happens to be brown, and
and a dangerous racist who almost allowed Asian
students to be murdered on her watch.
Bank of America: Yes, can I help you?
Customer: Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don’t want to do business with you any longer.
The Bank: Why?
Customer: You’re giving credit to criminal illegal immigrants and I don’t think it’s right. I’m taking my business elsewhere.
The Bank: Well, Mr. Customer, we don’t want to see you do that, but we can’t stop you. I’ll help you close the account. What is your account number?
Customer: (gives account number)
The Bank: For security purposes and for your protection, can you please give me the last four digits of your social security number?
Customer: No!
The Bank: Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I’ll need verification of who you are..
Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I’m closing my account is that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don’t have social security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let’s say I’m a criminal illegal immigrant and you’ve given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance. You wouldn’t be asking me for a Social Security number, would you?
The Bank: No sir, I wouldn’t.
Customer: Why not?
The Bank: Because you would have pressed ’2′ to speak in Spanish. We don’t ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.
If it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, then forward it to every human in the country including every representative in Washington , DC four time s a week for a month.

Waiting for the 7:59. Back on my routine today. TGIF.
Got my Bobby Clarke jersey out. Brewskis in the frig. Vesuvios Pizza on speed dial. I am ready for the Flyers. Call me a bandwagon jumper if you’d like but I’m on board. If the Flyers advance I’ll get front row seats for the Montreal series. The perks of being VP. Watch how fast I lose interest if they lose tonight.
Did I mention TGIF?
I thought about Pussy Foot’s question from yesterday. Can I get a chromosome test done on each first? A sack to cover my head? And a hazmat suit with functional genital area?
Coldwell Banker is coming under fire for deceptive practices. They are running ads about an $8K stimulus for house buyers to replace the government run stimulus that expired in April. The catch is CB expects their homesellers to pay the $8K not CB. Homesellers have the option. Why would any homeseller offer $8K off the selling price? Stupid. Deceptive.
I expected Barack to take maximum political advantage of the BP Gulf oil spill to ward off offshore drilling. He has been uniquely quiet on the subject. I suspect he is concerned that he’ll be blamed like Bush was for Katrina. He’s keeping a low profile on BP. He can’t really do anything so his rhetoric would make him a bigger target. Tool. Dangerous but not sharp.
TGIF. Looking forward to my Saturday routine. Home Depot has a demo on plumbing fixture installation. Dr Jill is telling me we need brushed nickel fixtures. What is brushed nickel anyway? Then I’ll be reading a James Patterson novel during the afternoon. Preakness at 6:48. I like Yawanna Twist this week. I may go place instead of win. Then to Boondocks in Smyrna for crab. Love Boondocks. Crowded on Saturday nights but when you are VP you can always get in. Get the pig’s feast and wash it down with a couple of Swampwater Greens.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Living life one meal at a time.
I’m putting Yawanna Twist in my mix too.Gotta love a 30-1 payday.Pussy Foot bounces back with a strong condemnation of the fraudelent LaGreta Brown.What a joke the PSD is.Ackerman,Brown & the puppet master Robert Archie should all be fired.Archie can go back to his shady dealings with Univeral Co. from his corner office at Duane Morris.What a cesspool.
Boucher who? The Flyers have rallied around Leighton. The swing in the series occurred when Gagne returned and Krejci went down for Bruins. The margin difference between the 2 teams was so slight that 2 finishers have made the big swing.
I’m sure TPERP will be beating on First Dude. He was named after Todd Palin, Sarah’s husband. I know TPERP lovers Sarah Palin!
VP Joe, love Boondocks. Can you get me a table at 8 tomorrow for 6?
Larry may have to be tased if he does not change this subject. BORING!
Larry, like Sarah Palin and Preident Obama I was a “drill baby drill” fan. What has shocked me in the past few weeks since the catastrophie in the Gulf is the amount of ineptness on the part of the companies involved in this horrific situation. All along I had confidence that our country knew how to handle these types of malfunctions. Government rules and regulations assured me we were on top of the operation. When it came down to reality, our government didn’t have a clue as to how to protect us and our enviornment. Health care, bailouts, and corporate takeovers must be their expertise. This wasn’t Katrina it was a manmade debacle.
Up bright and early. Getting my funk on exercising. VP Joe needs to keep that young and fit look going not belying a 67 year old world leader. Personally I like the elliptical. I’d rather walk but where do I walk in Wilmington without drawing a crowd? On to Maggies for heartattack breakfast after a shower. Then to Home Depot for demo on installing plumbing fixtures. Brushed nickel. Please. I wonder if there is any soldering involved. Then back to the Biden compound for an early summer read. Cross Country by James Patterson. I like the Alex Cross series. Then the Preakness. One of these years I’m going to chopper into Pimlico. I love Yawanna Twist. Going a grand to place. I’ll just write it off as a gambling loss if he disappoints. I may not have to file taxes. Most Congressmen don’t. Too busy I guess. The one thing I know is that Super Saver is not a Triple Crown horse. He’ll likely show today on the short track. Then to Boondocks. We get the backroom for privacy. Of course we cause quite a stir anywhere we go. We are the Bidens.
Ed I find it hard to believe that you are surprised that the Seven Sisters are unable to fix major oil spills. They spend billions on exploration but really peanuts on risk mitigation. It’s like the airline industry. They spend billions trying to fill planes and deal with the remote crash. They do minimal routine maintenance. Only what the government requires. BP actually has reacted rather proactively and responsibily in the Gulf. What has Barack done? He is missing in action except for condemnation. What a fraud.
How bout them Flyers? Last night’s game was a perfect microcosm of the series. Flyers fall behind 3-0 and rally back to win 4-3. Richards, Hartnell and Briere played their hearts out. Gagne and Leighton will get the credit. In the end the Flyers put too much pressure on Boston. They advance to what should be a very interesting series with Montreal. They are playing with house money now. Look for me at the Wac front and center. I am a bandwagon jumper.
Halladay and complete game and 4 days of rain.
Coming down the stretch it is Dublin by half a length. Caracortado ahead of the driving trio of Lookin at Lucky, Yawanna Twist and Super Saver. Dublin and Caracortado are fading as the big 3 make their mad rush to the post. Lookin at Lucky by a nose over Yawanna Twist at the wire. Super Saver finished fast but could not catch Lookin for Lucky.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Bet the farm on us.
Ed makes a good point on government reliance. The government is taking in billions from drilling leases and they have a conflict of interest to regulate these businesses. Ultra deep water dilling is where coal mining was over 100 years ago, anything goes, no one really can know what goes on out in the ocean and there is a need to go deeper and deeper to get more oil and gas, we have hit the wall with how deep is too deep without the technology being there yet. Where are the Army corp of engineers? It’s amazing we send men to the moon and rockets to Mars, but cant cap a leak a few miles down in the ocean. Ed, you will be delighted to know i took a big oily bath on Transocean, was in denial that the problem was as bad as it was and stayed exposed against evidence to the contrary. The Lord Abott doesnt always get it right, his ego and the sweet smell of his own gas casued him to have very bad judement about this disaster.
The good news is there is plenty of oil out in the deep water, just need a NASA style effort to retrieve it. F-outer space, the government needs to explore the ocean and put resources there, it is a much better place to get energy than dangerous Islamic countries where the stakes are much greater. But look, the conservative is crying for government help, it needs to be a public private partnership, but now is not the time to stop drilling, just let the technology catch up with the depths of water necessary to retrieve it.
So, looks like the Fish Filet is the real Joe Biden. That’s not a surprise I guess, and I am the real slim shady!
How about those Flyers? I knew some of them up in Canada. We went ice fishing together. Well, they went fishing. I lurked deep in the painfully cold water.
It’s a great day for America when its president gets an economic recovery going and manages to have one of his blue state hockey teams complete a tremendous comeback. He’ll be rooting for the Blackhawks, but Joey B. the VP will be cheering on the Flyers. Is there any doubt that this incredible administration is shaping the course of the NHL playoffs?
Oh the agony of wakling early on a day after a bender. I said I’d stop drinking 30 years ago. Now it is one bad day after another. Fish nice parody. Don’t be asking me for a table again though. I take one day off and this is what happens.
Very interesting Preakness yesterday. Super Saver was none of the above. It did take money off of Yawanna Twist though. If it had been the Belmont with another 3/8s of a mile we may have had a winner. The Fish did call Lookin for Lucky. He was as way off on Dublin as Dublin was wide coming out of the gates. First Dude must have made Tea Bag Patriot proud! Valiant effort.
Flyers lace em up against the Habs tonight. I will not vary from my ritual. Bobby Clarke jersey. 12 brewskis. Delivery pizza or is it DiGornos? I was thinking about growing one of those hockey playoff beards. What do you think, eh? Montreal is skating well. Another tough 7 game series. I think the Sharks will choke again. I look for the Hawks in the finals. If you think I’m a bandwagon jumper wait until you see Barack if the Hawks make it to the finals. He’s likely never been on a pair of skates without 2 blades. Likely could not name a Hawk if his administration depended on it. He’ll get briefed on the Hawks by his staff. Have his writer install a little Hawk quip in his teleprompter speach. For all the world to think he knows the difference between the blue line and red line. Fraud. Tool. Dangerous but not sharp. Barack Copperfield – creating the illusion.
Why are we still talking about the the BP spill? Because Larry fails in his sole task in life – to change the topic here. I get a kick out of all these wannabe environmental activists outraged by the BP spill.

Still in Tasertown I see. Can this site get any worse? Larry why not admit you aren’t on assignment, you just can’t come up with a topic that anyone cares about. Democrats in a heated run for Senator can’t even stir the minions.
