Friday Stories And Comments
By - In hye-larious fraternity hijinx, some Yale assholes engage in threatening pro-rape slogans around student housing for women, and have not yet been disciplined by the university. You wonder how many of these people will be coming up with defenses for America’s latest idiotic military adventure in 20 years…
- To reiterate, Sarah Palin: “the most politically damaging vice-Presidential nominee in American history.”
- Apparently, on at least one or two occasions Keith Richards has used illegal narcotics. Hasn’t America lost its innocence enough, what with the 50s game shows being crooked and Ricky Martin being gay and all?
- Speaking of people who caused America to lose its innocence, this fact from Jane Leavy’s new book about Mantle is pretty amazing: “Her research into Mantle’s injury history rejects his claim that his right knee was operated on after he fell over a drain cover at Yankee Stadium while stopping to let Joe DiMaggio catch a fly ball in the 1951 World Series. When Mantle had surgery two years later, there was no established procedure to fix a torn anterior cruciate ligament, which she believes Mantle played on for the rest of his career.” So Mantle’s late 50s seasons — arguably the third-greatest peak in baseball history — were accomplished while playing with a torn ACL. That’s pretty amazing. As with Orr, his upside potential was beyond my ability to imagine.
- The only solution to our problems is to pay our intellectual superiors among the banksters even more money.
- Given that Brown has (properly) apoligized for his aide’s offensive remarks about Meg Whitman, it’s especially hard to imagine what California NOW is thinking.
- Hmm, this will probabably be the third or fourth article of impeachment.
