"The Torch Bearing Mob"

Hits the nail on the head. Nerds wearing their morality on their sleeves and using the most important aspect of their lives, that of a 24-7 sports spectator, as their avenue to mount pulpit and deliver sermon. If they had been around at Salem, pre-sports, they would have been rounding up witches.

It's not a matter of right and wrong. Good or bad. Moral or immoral. Legal or illegal.

Our society has deemed athletes to be worthy of piles of cash and glory. This situation arising from the millions of nerds making it all the focus of their lives. And there are drugs to help the athlete get to the top. Now the nerds are preaching?

All It Is

Is one more way that purveyors of bullshit and hallucination can harken back to the "good ole days".

Like I've said before, science needs to focus it's energy and technology to build a time machine so we can send the jerks back.

This Is The Hysterical Part

Moral outrage at steroids, looking back at 1925 with adoration, nostalgia, and respect.

It's Immoral

To lump Bonds in with Dykstra. Bonds was indisputable Hall of fame before steroids.

Rather Suspiciously

The theatre of morality has been born and grown as blacks have dominated sports.

It's kinda like the modern regulations instituted in college athletics-academics. Can you just imagine the ignorant hillbillies that played for Alabama and Georgia in 1940. Back then it was "He's one of our hosses, give him a C."

The Steroid Stuff

Appears to be a high percentage white. It may not be a concerted effort or an official conspiracy but this entire fiasco in large measure could be viewed as whitey trying to keep up, and-or reclaim his former position on top.

If You're Gonna Be A Hillary Basher

Me and you gonna collide.

As I Have Pointed Out Before

Minus the Clintons the democratic party has resided in the Whitehouse for 4 years since 1968.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 08:08 AM

YEAH

Obama will tell us the TRUTH...........LMAO

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 08:09 AM

McCain

Considers himself Mister truth. If it's him versus Obama they will be saying opposite things, both claiming truth.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 08:13 AM

It's Like Mencken Said

The "truth" can only be handed out in very small doses. And in many cases there is no truth. Anyone claiming to be dishing out truth every day, is simply a person with no respect for the truth.

Good Lord

Bullying, cheating, and robbing......How much of American history needs an asterisk?

The Clintons are now the scapegoat for win at all costs? Jesus H. Christ.

It Kills Me

We have Hillary, the right-wingers worst nightmare. A daily living hell for them. And we are hesitating.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 09:24 AM

Forget Issues

I've found that if you go with your gut, down deep, the other stuff often works out better than you anticipated.........You shoved Dubya up our asses for 8 years, now we're gonna ram Hillary down your throats.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 09:39 AM

Let Me Tell Ya Something

This neo-con machine, talk radio, and swiftboaters are win at all costs on steroids. They are Mike Tyson at his prime. Let's send the Clintons into the ring again....a.k.a. Buster Douglas.

Don't be ignorant like a right winger.........You need a translation for "I didn't inhale", okay I'm here for you........."If you are going to ask me that nosey and stupid of a question, I'll treat you to the stupidest answer I can think of."

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 10:18 AM

And Clinton Was Correct About "Is"

That's why the independent counsel declined to indict for perjury.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 10:22 AM

This Is What It Takes

To beat the right wing mad dogs.

You mean Bill...........It's been Hillary all along.

She May Just be Too Smart

For either party.

Okie Dokie Then

You hold on to your idealism until that neocon prick has you bleeding. They don't use vaseline.

The Pendelum

Has swung full. The Black Sox got paid shit, so human nature reared it's head. Now the money is carted around in dump trucks, and human nature again.

Ironocrat

Hillary welcomes the nerd vote. That's an important democratic constituency, which seems to be growing from the appearances around here.

He owns Golf no matter who does what...... Well, the other guys could lynch him.

Both Teams

And the referees cheating.......LOL.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 11:26 AM

Although The Thought Is Tantalizing

An army of sports nerds and an army of political nerds charging at each other with swords drawn and screaming..like BRAVEHEART.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 11:42 AM

Oh Christ

You believed Paula Jones........she went from her minimum wage husband and lawsuit against Clinton to celebrity boxing matches and a spread in a nudie mag.

No One Said

All games are frauds with cheaters. You just don't know which are.

Although If You Count

Various degrees of recruiting shannanigans and illegal perks, it's hard to imagine there's been many, if any, legitimate NCAA basketball and football champs.

They say that steroids can improve eyesight. What if the guy uses for that?

Why Does The Jesse Jackson Comment

Have to be racial? The point could have been that just because ANYONE wins South Carolina that doesn't mean that determines the nomination.

As A Hillary Supporter

I was really bummed out after South Carolina. But this rout in Florida erases that. Pure joy.

As I watched the returns come in last night I wept.
