Obviously, I've been away from my Blog. So much so that I don't even know if anyone will read this. But if you do read this, you deserve an explanation.
I was getting too ornery. There is just so much wrong with so many things that I felt overwhelmed. I still do. But I was complaining so much that I wasn't enjoying this. Maybe this time I can strike a balance. But not today.
Today I got into a discussion with a friend about Michael Vick being on the cover of Madden 12. My friend said:
"... but i will say that being on madden's cover is about being a fantastic football player and whether they are good
humans is kind of tertiary, much as we wish it were not."
I totally agree with him. He is right.
But I feel differently. I am so tired of politicians, athletes, the super rich, what have you, feeling a sense of entitlement because they are they and we are not. So, as I told my friend, they can all "eat shit and die" for all I care.
So for all the dogs that Vick tortured, the woman that Ben R and others raped, and the poor people on the #7 train excoriated by John Rocker ...
This Bud's for you!!!
