I don't know about the CNN part of his rant, but he's right on the LA Times. I don't get what I'm supposed to be mad about. Sorry. Oh, and OMG FAUX NEWS LOL2003!... -
That will make it harder for the state to classify illegals. Because California is doing such a bang up job on it now. Hmm, maybe if we take away their licenses, free health care and free college tuition, they'll go away. Then again maybe not... (EDIT: I forgot to mention taking away crappy jobs nobody else wants to work, too)

The one and only California recall thread
kkktookmybabyaway replied to Dangerous A's topic in Current Events
Last night I was watching You-Know-Who on You-Know-What-News and he had a segment on the Calif. election, naturally. Anyway, they were showing footage of Arnie at a rally and I swear to God I saw Dee Snyder of Twister Sister walk across the screen, microphone in hand, yelling at a crowd of Arnold supporters. Never thought I'd see that in my lifetime... -
This is kind of like a side note to the Rush-got-fired-from-ESPN thread going on over in the Sports folder. Go there if you want to discuss Limbaugh, black quarterbacks and other fun stuff. What I want is some insight on the Playmakers series, since I know there have been a few topics regarding this new show. I sat down last night and watched two episodes of "Playmakers" *I really hadn't watched the show before, and the moments I did see beforehand, the content didn't do much for me.* So is this show built "with institutional racism"? From what I have seen I don't think so. Much like how all police stations aren't like "The Shield" (at last I hope not), I just think "Playmakers" goes over the line in some ways for entertainment... http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/fo...all/6916872.htm As Donovan McNabb tried to close the book on the Rush Limbaugh chapter in Eagles history, the team's owner, Jeffrey Lurie, attempted to heighten the awareness of another ESPN production that bothers the people who run the NFL. After condemning Limbaugh's remarks pertaining to McNabb, Lurie went on attack yesterday against the network's fictional show Playmakers. "It's really a shame the events of this week, but maybe it does point out some of the problems in our society," Lurie said. "Comments that were made by Rush Limbaugh showed a lack of knowledge, a lack of sensitivity and, in my opinion, were despicable. "However, the issue is not Rush Limbaugh. The issue is how we've come to hire Rush Limbaugh and how we've come to portray athletes. For example, showcasing NFL players purportedly doing cocaine at halftime in Playmakers. Nothing could be further from the truth." Lurie charged that ESPN, which pays the NFL $800-million per year for broadcasting rights, needs to be more responsible in its programming and hiring practices. "The onus of responsibility is really on the company that hires people like this and portrays athletes to boost ratings," Lurie said. "ESPN has been a very well run company, but some of the events of this week have been built with institutional racism. It exists. Let's not hide it or make us believe that the problem is a single person, because it's far from that. "Disney's brand is Mickey Mouse, Magic Kingdom. How would they like it if Minnie Mouse were portrayed as Pablo Escobar and the Magic Kingdom as a drug cartel?" Lurie was really just reiterating a point made by NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who said during a CNN interview before the start of this season that he felt the show Playmakers was "a gross mischaracterization of our sport." Tagliabue has spoken to ESPN about the show and an NFL spokesperson said yesterday that the players' union also is unhappy with the show. Tagliabue called McNabb Wednesday and offered his support to the Eagles' quarterback. Lurie was in New York with the commissioner at the time. What's interesting is that McNabb, during his response Wednesday to Limbaugh's remarks, said he would hold no grudges against ESPN. In fact, he openly campaigned for a guest spot on "Playmakers." "If they wanted me to come and be on Playmakers, I'll be on Playmakers," McNabb said. "I'm still looking for my shot at Playmakers." Lurie said he couldn't comment on McNabb's desire to be on the show, but expressed concern about the potential negative influences of Playmakers. Asked if it could just be viewed as an entertainment show, Lurie said the problem was that it was being aired by a network that also has a partnership with the NFL. "ESPN, in a way, has a different task," Lurie said. "They are the leading sports network in terms of covering reality. Now, when they put on a show that . . . is not reality, what is the affect on kids around the country? Are they thinking ESPN is reality sports TV, which is purporting this to be the same thing?" Eagles defensive end N.D. Kalu admitted that he is a big fan of Playmakers. "I like it a lot," he said. "I think it's an entertaining show." Asked about the potential negative influence on kids, Kalu made an outstanding point. "Parents shouldn't let their kids watch it," he said. "I think it has a warning. If kids are being raised properly, they won't see it. It's just a show being made for entertainment." Lurie was asked if he thought the NFL was being hypocritical because it sells advertising to beer companies. "You can take it to that," he said. "I don't. I think drinking moderate amounts of alcohol and showcasing cheerleaders are part of Americana and part of life. It is when you differentiate between people and create a racial or ethnic hierarchy, that is really doing some damage." Lurie said the problem extends beyond ESPN. "We know what goes on radio, the so-called license to entertain, a lot of personal attacks. I am more worried when it is something national. That is not a direction we want to entertain our kids." Lurie said he was happy that Limbaugh resigned, but that the Eagles did not have anything to do with it. "We were certainly wanting Rush to be removed, but we had no power to do it," he said. "It is not our company." Could the NFL eventually break its ties with ESPN if the network continues to air Playmakers? "That is certainly a possibility," Lurie said. "You have to value the attack of your own brand. We are really proud of the athletes in the National Football League, the drug policies and the level of competitiveness. "It is primarily an African American sport and it is covered primarily by non-African Americans. I think it is very important that the broadcast partners do not let institutional racism get involved here. That lowers the value they are giving the NFL. It also lowers the value they are giving our society. Certainly there is a branding factor that in the future I am sure will be considered." McNabb declined to discuss the Limbaugh issue any further. "I said all I have to say on the topic," he said. "I spent more time on the subject than I expected to. It's time for me to concentrate on the Redskins and try to win a football game with my teammates this weekend."

When I saw that this was going to be on SportsCenter I turned off the TV, so I, too, am curious as to what was said. Wonder if any kids asked Tom Jackson if they had to allegedly have forced sexual intercourse outside of wedlock in order to be a basketball star...

My kids don't need a special food. They can get fat well on their own. When we took in our third -- a stray we named Shadow in August of 2001. He weighed 5 lbs. Now he's at 17. I had one vet that was anal about our cats being overweight. Hell, there are so many starving kitties in this world if mine want to have a few pleasure pounds so be it -- they don't seem to mind...

But he's keeping those people at the neighborhood buffet gainfully employed. Not sure if he's a good tipper, though...

And so is making fun of his weight/looks. Oh, I was watching Bill Mahr's HBO show last week, and tubby was on. He said that he was an Independent. Please...
-
Too bad he was dead ass serious as well. Although I didn't see the segment, I can't imagine he said what he did in a joking manner. MikeSC -- was he joking when he said it?...
-
I don't get the thing with you and Dusty though. if anything, he insulted black players. And Dusty was obviously joking through his laughing at his own bad joke the whole time he was talking. Rush was DEAD ASS SERIOUS. I never really liked Dusty, and I was laughing when the Angles won the World Series last year and that little brat in the Giants dugout was crying. However, I said my peace about the situation when it happened and I largely forgot about it. However, if ESPN is going to act like they did regarding Rush's situation -- I still can't get over T.J.'s stupid "kid" quote -- then I am going to bring up Racist Dusty's remarks. Oh, and look who won Game 5 for him in the cold. Maybe Racist Dusty has a point...

OK. Someone get me a video camera so I can harass some 90-year old security guard working in a corporation's lobby. Coming soon, the book written by Mikey's traveling companion -- Dude, where's my Big Mac?...

Strange -- he's playing better and the weather is getting colder. Doesn't this go against everything Racist Dusty said?...

Damn, Mike I was about to come up with 7 fat joke "questions." Oh well, I'll just pray for the heart attack. Here's one non-fat question -- how many drinks do you have to give a woman in order for her to let you slide your penis inside of her? EDIT: The question is for Moore, not you SC...
