More Shit from the Bogus Captain...
SunTimes reports Rod Blagojevich will hit the airwaves this weekend when he hosts a two-hour talk-show on WLS (890 AM). Blago, will spout 12-2 p.m. this Sunday and next in what the station is calling 'must-listen' radio.
"The personalities on The Big 89 are compelling, knowledgeable, opinionated and often times, controversial," WLS-AM program director Bob Shomper said. "Former Gov. Blagojevich has all of these gifts and more."
The "more" Mr. Shomper is talking about would include being charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery, orchestration of pay-for-play schemes and general assholism.
But, fuck it. Who cares about that? They need Sunday ratings!
Methinks Celibacy is to Blame...
So, the Pope had surgery on his wrist? Probably from all of that waving and praying (....ahem).
See This....
I know I'm late to the game on this movie, but, "In Bruges" is one of the best movies I've seen in the past five years. Fantastic. Hilarious, suspensful and downright interesting. Great acting, too. Ralph Fiennes is one under-rated actor, I gotta say.
AAAAnnndd...
Baseball is back.. Yeah, I know it started back up yesterday, but, take a look at this slate of games and tell me why the fuck anyone would be watching?
Mets vs Braves
Cubs vs. Nationals
Mariners vs. Indians
Phillies vs. Marlins
Angels vs. Athletics
Rockies vs. Padres
Astros vs. Dodgers
Brewers vs. Reds.
okay, so THAT's why some people think baseball is boring. Unless you're a fan of these teams, I can't imagine any less compelling matchups.
Man, the National League bores me to tears...wow. Braves, Padres, Astros, Marlins, Nationals, Reds....get me a pillow.

This is Quite a Life I Lead Here...
Email to the Partially Educated....
This was sent to me through my company email today, first thing in the morning.
Hi,
I would like to cordially ask for whomever’s Soda exploded in the refrigerator to have the courtesy to clean the mess it has made.
Office Team will greatly appreciated.
Yep. We're at "that" point now in my life where I'm getting messages like this.
I saw it as a sign that my decision to get back into the "performing" arts world was a good one. My other creative projects are still moving forward, but, I miss the act of performing. Ya' know, an endeavor where someone I work with doesn't have to send an email that sounds like a disappointed parent.
First of all, putting aside the God-awful grammar, this is starting to feel like ticky-tack bitchiness that starts my day off poorly. But, then again, clean up the fridge, I guess.
Thank God, I have passion for something other than my fucking job. Thank......GAWD.
OH! And Why Don't I Give a Shit About the Emmys??
One sentence: 'The Simpsons' has never even been NOMINATED for best comedy series......
Done.

We've Been Mentioned on Telly!
Bite me, St. Louis....
Okay, okay, okay.....this is seriously kick-ass. Not even doing the 'political thing' and wearing a Cardinals jersey in St. Louis.
Did he win Missouri?
I gotta say, this was pretty cool.....naw, forget it....this was REALLY cool. Go Sox.

Point Taken
Starting to See the Point....
Health Insurance. Two words that, if it already hasn't, should strike fear in your hearts and make you very afraid.
Just to let you in on a little sump'n sump'n....No names here, but, the insurance company rhymes with United Healthscare.
Here's the line of events:
We need some 'specialty drugs' ordered. The doctor's office says we're covered by insurance. We order the drugs.
Pharmacy calls back and says, "all we need is a credit card for shipping....it's $3,198.00"
I shit myself.
We call the insurance company. They tell me I haven't 'enrolled' yet in the specialty program. I enroll (name, address...you know, shit they could have pulled off my goddammed record already, but....whatever. gotta 'enroll')
The pharmaceuticals are (get this...) NOT covered by our PHARMACEUTICAL BENEFIT, but, rather should be covered by our medical benefit (medicbenenfiahwhesaowhwwwhaaaaaa?!~?!?!) .
Okay, I ask what I will end up paying out of pocket after my deductible....
Nobody can answer. 5 people, different departments, cannot tell me. Nobody. Not even United Healthscare. Not the pharmacy, not the insurance company, not my company's liasion, not the other pharmacy, not my benefits packet, not GOD, not Kreskin......
Still waiting....it's been 7 days.
Good thing we don't have cancer, we'd be dead now.
I mean, seriously.....if I hear another right-wing fuckbag tell me that universal health coverage would be worse, I will reply, a la Clark Griswald in Christmas Vacation, "WORSE?!? How could things be any WORSE?!? Look around you, Ellen! We're at the threshold of hell!"
It's been infuriating. I'm not even upset if the drugs aren't covered. I just want to get a fucking answer! I actually think the government could have gotten me an answer by now. It might be a 'no', but, it would be a fucking answer.
Kick Off Your Sunday Shoes!

Really? Chris Penn is rolling in his grave.
Speaking of Grave Rolling
The Burr Oak Cemetery assholes that dug up graves and resold the plots make me wish there was such a thing as Running Man-like gameshows.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1663507,fbi-burr-oak-graves-071309.article
It's brings out the mouthbreather in me. Time for some cruel n' unusual....
I'm disgusted with this. I can only imagine what the families are going through. Mercy.

More Theories (if you please)
I'm Terrific
Anyway, been thinkin' lately and, like most teenagers, must share my thoughts with the universe through the magic of blogging.
Here goes:
#1: "Fitness Centers" need to go back to being called "gyms". This way, we might be able to weed out all of the meat-market frat fucks flirting with the women clad in something resembling a Hooters girl.
Listen, you're nice to look at, ladies, but, what am I gunna do? HIT on you? If you're looking for action, there are plenty of dance clubs. I'm there to walk 30 minutes on a rotating rubber belt whilst watching a ballgame on the little attached monitor. If I wanted to do otherwise, I'd hit a strip joint (which is now, known as a "Gentleman's Club".....ahem.)
And...the next guy I see lift a bar-bell, put it down hard and look around the place to see who was "checking him out", is going to get crippled. By me. Both legs.
#2: Losing weight is ten times easier when the doctors mandate it. Recently had a little 'episode' and the doctors required me to lose the pounds. Totally made a difference in the way I perceived dieting and exercise. Up to this point, I've probably dropped 3-4 pounds in three weeks. But, if it were just up to me 'setting my mind to it', you can kiss that action on the crack. I've failed each time.
But, now, I have the "doctor's orders" excuse and it comes in handy when I reeeeeally want a cheeseburger. It forces me to lay off of it.
#3 - I'm getting more and more suspicious of the Green Movement. Sorry, there's just too much money in it for me to go whole-hog for global warming legislation, etc... I'm no expert here and I'm not even going to try, but, I seem to recall that, back in 2000-ish, there were predictions of global disaster by the year 2005-6-7-8-9, etc....we got nuthin'. In fact, we can't predict the fucking weather for NEXT WEEK much less what the weather will be in 2050.
That said, I still think it's something that needs to be addresssed (and it HAS been addressed already) but, man, the visit to the earthquake site (L'Aquila) after the first G-8 session REEKS of trying to tie global warming to an earthquake disaster. I cry bullshit on that one, gang.
And, why are carbon dioxide emissions bad? Don't we breathe that out every second?
My head hurts.
I'm just starting to see a leeeeeetle too much of a similarity of the Green Movement and the Nuclear Arms Race. Crippling fear drove both movements and gobs of money got spent on bullshit legislation. Big time....and a ton of people got rich. VERY rich.
#4 - Went to the Sox game last night and it was one of the first times I actually had no fear the team was going to lose. It's a nice feeling. Doesn't happen that often.
#5 - There was a line that wrapped around the block for Potbelly's Sandwiches yesterday. It's a fucking SANDWICH, people!!! Are you kidding me!? "Wow! It's TOASTED! I better waste my entire lunch hour waiting for something I can devour in less than two minutes!"
What the hell is that?
As George Carlin said in his last HBO Special, "GodDAMN, people are fucking boring!"
