Rush Limbaugh May Be the Biggest Asshole, In History.

Huff-po - Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh drew sharp criticism from Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and others on Wednesday when he called Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student, a "slut" and a "prostitute" for publicly advocating that employers cover contraception in their health plans. But instead of apologizing for his offensive comments on his show Thursday, he geared up for round two. Channeling Foster Friess, a main financial backer of former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), Limbaugh said that he would "happily buy [Sandra Fluke] all the aspirin she wants" to put between her knees in lieu of contraception. Limbaugh concluded his sexist rant by insisting that if women want their contraception covered, they should post pornographic videos of themselves online. "So Miss Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal," he said. "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

Just wow. I for the life of me can't understand how someone so vile, so hateful, so much of a dick, still has a national following. Yea, he's free to say whatever the hell he wants to say, but I would have hoped more people were aware they're also free to tune out.  

How can anyone listen to this horrible abuse of free speech, and not look themselves in the mirror and question whether or not this is someone who's opinion they should value?  That was pure hate speech, plain and simple. 

And you know what really gets me these days about the so-called "social conservatives," and their alleged "Christian Values?"  It's that I'm pretty sure if JC was still around he'd have smoted most of these biggot assholes by now, with Rush Limbaugh being his first target. 

There is nothing tolerant, caring, or Christian about any of those comments. Just pure hatred and a lack of acceptance for anyone believing anything other than his personal opinion, and yet there are still people out there who give this guy a voice. Like he's an all-knowing person who has the right ideas to bring this country back to prominence...because those ideas include humiliating a woman who's sole goal is to avoid getting pregnant before she gets her education and becomes a contributing member of society...That's a great battle to pick Rush, fucking idiot. I have no idea if Rush has kids or not and am not going to take the time of day to look it up (which is exactly the amount of time he spends researching topics before he spews his own hatred), but unless this prick practiced the art of pulling out every time he had sex other than when he's attempted to procreate, I'd say he should probably shut the fuck up.  It makes me sick, absolutely sick, that talking heads like this, lacking an ounce of tolerance are not only given a platform, but actually have fellow American's that value what he has to say.

Happy fucking Friday, this country is going to hell in a hand basket and you can blame assholes like Rush and his asshole followers.

BU Upset About Rapes Committed by Fellow Students, Misguidedly Take it out on Blogger

Shouldn't that read Knockout Rape?

Boston.Com - Students active in the Boston University Center for Gender Sexuality and Activism have paired with the Feminist Collective to produce a public service announcement that encourages people to “knock out” a blog called Barstool Sports. The PSA, which students shot Saturday at BU’s George Sherman Student Union, denounced what the students describe as “rape culture.” Barstool Sports sponsors the Barstool Blackout Tour, parties that have been gaining notoriety for encouraging attendees to consume enough alcohol to black out. The Barstool blog asks students to recommend venues to rent out, and Barstool then throws parties for various universities, without university administrative approval...the PSA was partially in response to the recent arrest of BU hockey player Max Nicastro, who was charged with sexual assault...Nicastro is the second BU hockey player to be arrested this school year. Teammate Corey Trivino has been accused of indecent assault and battery on a female student...he also wanted to emphasize that the response was not against party culture or having fun, just about the rape culture she believes Barstool encourages...Qari also said he was not pleased to hear Barstool was coming back to Boston. “I feel bad about that,” he said. “I hope they never come back.”

Look, far be it for me to stick up for a far more popular, far more successful blog than mine can ever dream to be, but this is complete bullshit. A misguided reaction by those seeking attention to their cause, lashing out at a well known target in order to generate buzz. 

Upset about about two rapes committed by members of your campus? Protest those individuals and the community around them (namely the hockey team and it's supporters). Or take the easy way out, build up a strawman out of a popular blog and attempt to tear it down, poor debating skills-101. 

What is it about people these days that they just don't get it? Those rapes, and any rapes for that matter, weren't about a humor based smut blog, in the same way that violent actions by young kids and teenagers isn't the result of movies, television shows and video games they played. 

It's about personal accountability (or in the case of teens and young kids that I just described above, parental accountability). At the end of the day everyone is accountable to themselves. These two guys assaulted or raped their victims, because they're assholes who lack respect for their victims, their victims friends and families, their own friends and families, their teammates, and probably themselves as well.

But that's part of the problem these days, everyone rushes out to point fingers at some outside influence or external factor hoping to pass off the blame to someone or something who had no role in the choices these individuals made.  This is counterproductive. It makes it easier for people to make bad choices, because now, it's not their own fault, it's societies fault.  BULL SHIT. We live and die with our own choices, solely made by ourselves. These two guys were adults enrolled in a top university, they knew right from wrong, they didn't care. It's not because they got all jacked up after reading some blog. Millions of people a month read those blogs, these two individuals raped people...the numbers don't exactly add up. 

To sum, because I'm getting a bit rambly, stop giving these dickheads excuses! Hold them, and solely them, accountable. Look them square in the face and say, "you made a horrible decision, your actions have hurt not only your victim, but everyone around you, and now you'll suffer the consequences," and be done with it. Make an example of those charged with the crimes, make it known that societal excuses are NOT VALID, and make it known that their actions will not be tolerated. 

Boston Fans Say Goodbye to Jason Varitek, Superman

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - Jason Varitek spent 15 seasons as the stoic center of the Boston Red Sox, with an icy stare that never blinked and an iron jaw that never quivered. "My teammates," Varitek said, his voice shaking and his eyes welling, are "what I'm going to miss most. The hardest thing to do is to walk away from your teammates and what they've meant to you over the years."

Two world series, four no hitters, three All-Star games, 1,546 games (most for any Red Sox Catcher), in fact, first in home runs, hits, runs, rbi's, and white man flat-top hair cuts.

Imagery wise, there was the A-Rod shove, and the sight in 2004 and 2007 as Varitek jumped into the arms of Foulke and Papelbon respectively with all the excitement of a little leaguer who just won the league championship. In fact there was every comical meeting at the mound after another Papelbon save, Paps screaming and yelling, basically frothing at the mouth like a mad man after the sox won yet another game, Varitek calmly shaking his hand, same thousand yard stare he always seemed to have on.

But the one thing I'll remember most about Varitek? His song that played before every home game at bat, Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down. Released in 1999, fitting as it was the year Varitek took over full-time catching duties for good (playing about half the games in 1998), it had become a running joke over the past 5 or so years within my group of friends, each of us reporting back after attending a game to let the others know that Superman was indeed still Varitek's song.

Did the employee in charge of player music even bother asking if he wanted something else anymore? Had 'Tek really not downloaded ITunes or been to a Newbury Comics since 1999? Was the song also on repeat in his personal car (undoubtedly a Ford pickup truck, he's a Ford truck man if there ever was one)? Was his family sick of it? And most importantly, was he actually Superman?

I guess we won't get the answers now, and although I didn't get to watch his retirement speech live, I like to imagine just before he addressed the media, he marched onto the field one last time to his favorite tune. So long Tek, and thank you for all the hard work, the two world series', permanently putting A-Rod in his place, and for one inside joke that never got old. You'll be missed.

KFC's New Chicken Pot Pie Violates Every Fast Food Rule in the Book

Which is mainly because there is only one definitive rule for fast food, Thou Shalt Not Bite Into Any Concealed Substances, and make no mistake about it, this here is the definition of "concealed substances," when it comes down to ingredients.

Sure, I'm the same guy that raves about the McRib to a unhealthy extent, and sure on the surface, this pie in a box thing looks 100x better than any McRib, but that's just it, it's just on the surface. You have no idea what you're biting into from there. Hopefully it's just processed chicken, worst case it is a bunch gizzards and hearts cut down into unrecognizable form, and some browned vegetables, because who can tell once they have that gravy slop slathered over them.With the McRib, you know exactly what you're getting, one delish processed slab of pork, smothered with sweet and tangy bbq sauce, topped off with some diced onions and a few pickles. It's just so simple and so transparent.

Sadly, it's the same rule that sunk the KFC Famous Bowls, in my opinion. Actually, it's not just my opinion, I remember my roommate grabbing one of those things for dinner in college, coming home and plowing into that thing, happy as a pig in shit, only to find some foreign pink colored substance lining one of the layers, it certainly wasn't corn, mashed potatoes, chicken, or gravy, I'll tell you that much. Yuck. Sorry, KFC, I'll have to pass this time around as well.
