dirty south baby!

damn straight i'm i na place w/ nice weather...broke out the shorts today. love the dirty south. me bein in a place w/ warm weather is no accident.

chump, i dont know if you have hbo or already watch this, but i think you'd enjoy real time w/ bill maher. you should check it out if you get the chance. i know it's on fridays at 8pm, but i'm not sure if it's on at other times. either way, though, hbo always shows things like 023929228 times a week. on gay marriage, he brought up how many political compromises have been made in US history. so, perhaps only lesbians should be able to marry. after all, marriage was created by women and is a women's institution. in america, when a man puts something in another man, it had better be a bullet. classic.

i dont get the chance to listen to stern, but on cnn i saw something he said on his show, that in 20 years the US will be a religious state. all the more reason why kerry needs to win this election. we really need to move away from this conservative, buddy buddy state/religion relationship. if our state is so closely entangled w/ unprovable stories, all hope is lost for us. i'll move to haiti. also, i hope the woman who drove her car into a lake died. ok that's a bit harsh. but i hope she was injured. or maybe just a shot to the head that knocked all the religious shit out of her mind. and chump, i dont mind talkin about religion, i think it's fascinating how it has such control over people's lives, considering its circumstances as we seem to see them.

also, bob costas said tonight on the bill maher show that 30-40% of baseball players are taking some kind of performance enhancing supplement. this is ridiculous. chump, you may also be interested in hearing that giambi showed up to spring training like 25lbs lighter after all this steroid talk swelled up. hmmm, interesting. but sadly it's true, people want to see 12-11 ball games, players hitting 73 hrs in a season. the art of the pitching duel is lost. these games, where pitching and defense shine, are considered "boring." what's the cause of all this? is it the high paced, high demand world we live in now? people want more of everything?

speaking of which, did you hear mcdonalds is going to stop supersizing menu items??? apparently, someone made a movie/documentary where some guy at mcdonalds for every meal for a month, and gained so much weight. i think the supersizing ends before the movie is supposed to come out, what a coincidence. the guy in the movie apparently blames mcdonalds for his getting fat. in cases like this, i think both the fat guy and mcdonalds suck. if all you eat is mcdonalds you deserve to be fat. and mcdonalds is saying they're making the change to "simplify the menu." yeah, cuz their menu is sooooooo damn confusing. honestly people.

also martha stewart's goin to jail! i'm sure her max of 20yrs will get knocked down to 1.5-2 or so, but i dont think they let you design your own window treatments in jail. her own personal hell. but did you ever think that insider tips is what stock brokers do for a living? weird. it's all nice and well (i guess) that she's gettin locked up, but does this help the kid who is abused by their parents, or the homeless kid on the street? right. besides, if you got an insider tip that could save you 5-6figures would you take it? maybe not, if you were worth millions. but then again...
