Air Force. Because I'm a pussy and would rather bomb Abdul from thousands of miles up in the sky rather than break down his door and blast him from close range. God bless the Marines.

When I worked at the theater, I was told the take the studio got was much more. Also, my one manager said that Disney wanted a take on the CONCESSION prices of one of their animated films (I think it was Lion King). But who knows.

• So I was listening to some commentaries from season one of “The Shield” last night, and in the episode dealing with the migrant workers someone (I think it was series creator Shawn Ryan) was talking about how they managed to get all points of view regarding the illegal immigration issue expressed in that broadcast. Interesting to me was when he said the “right-wing” perspective on illegal immigration was that they (illegal aliens) provide cheap labor to businesses. Being a proud member of the right-wing conspiracy, I had always thought the “right-wing” take on illegal immigrants was that they shouldn’t be in America doing anything, whether it is construction labor or collecting welfare. I always considered the whole “cheap labor” argument to be the businessman’s perspective, and although Democrats are the party of the poor and illiterate, there are still many in this group who contribute to the public coffers, rather than take from them. Another thing I learned from the commentaries I listened to last night was when Ryan said that his wife plays the role of Vic Mackey’s wife. Interesting. I can’t wait to hear the commentary (if there is one) of the episode where she is filmed walking around in her panties. • The 2006 NFL Hall of Fame inductee class includes quarterbacks Troy Aikman and Warren Moon, along with the now-deceased defensive end Reggie White. One quote I found funny regarding this story was from White’s wife, Sara, who said, “Every city embraced Reggie as a player and as a person.” I’m not so sure San Francisco took Reggie in with open arms, but who am I to question a grieving widow? Another person elected to this year's hall of fame class was John Madden. Among his accomplishments include an extremely short-lived NFL career (he got hurt in his first pre-season as a Philadelphia Eagle and never laced up for another game), a successful coaching career with the Oakland Raiders that saw him as the winningest coach of the 1970s, a broadcasting stint that never seems to end, and a dominant video game franchise to his name. Madden is one of those people you either love or hate, and while his best days in the broadcasting booth are long behind him, I’m still a fan. It’s true his insights aren’t that, well, insightful, but let the man do his thing until he decides to call it quits. • For all you New Hampshire bitches that voted against taking Supreme Court Justice David Souter’s house in order to build a hotel that would bring in more revenue for “the greater good” of your area, don’t start whining when the State confiscates your land to give to some developer wanting to build condos or a strip mall. Maybe Souter could rent you out a room at his place. • Castro is going after the “new rich” in his communist utopia. In other words, those who can afford microwave popcorn and peanut butter. That's some crazy stuff; I didn't even know they had microwaves in Havanna. • Well, it’s nice to know Bush is no longer being compared to Hitler. According to Hugo Chavez, he’s now worse than old Adolf. • Oh, and speaking of Hitler, not only did he want to kill those people in New Orleans affected by Hurricane Katrinia, he also wants them to stay in jail. • Two of Britain’s candy makers are now putting warning labels on their products that tell consumers these products should be part of a balanced diet. This of course means these warning labels will be appearing soon across the Pond in the United States. That is if lawsuits by 500-lb. plantiffs who didn't know eating a dozen Hershey bars per day was bad for them don't sprout up first. • I’ve had steaks languish in the freezer for a few months before; I’d shudder to think what this 20-year old meat would have looked like. Also, how exactly was this meat discovered after 20 years anyway? • And finally, on Super Bowl Sunday, here’s another example of why Steeler fans are different from me and you.

I did that. I also pretended to be riding a bike along the curb and treating the inclines as ramps.

Many choices I make in life I try to base on “principle.” One of them is where I get my news. Yeah, yeah, yeah, OMG FAUX NEWS LOL2006! Drudge’s sirens, red headlines and DEVELOPING exclusives! RIGHT-WING RADIO! In this instance I'm not talking about these particular media outlets; I am instead referring to the local newspapers in my area. In the Shittsburgh region, there are two “major” daily publications: the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The Post-Gazette is by far the more widely read of the two. It also happens to be a liberal rag. There are a lot of reasons why I can’t stand the Post-Gazette. One example is back in the late 1990s when the region faced a referendum on whether to increase the county’s sales tax by a fraction of a percent in order to help fund new stadiums for the Steelers and Pirates. Of course the Post-Gazette was all for this. During the months leading up to the vote, there was story after story about how great this tax was going to be for the region. However, there was one thing the Post-Gazette never seemed to mention: the fact that the newspaper owned a minority share of the Pirates. It’s interesting that this little tidbit was rarely, if ever, mentioned when it should have been noted in nearly every article about this tax increase so the reader could know about a potential conflict of interest. Of course when the referendum crashed and burned, despite the Post-Gazette and other tax supporters warning that the Pirates were going to move to another state, the stadiums were built anyway with a different source of funding. While the excuse made by the Post-Gazette was that their share in the Pirates was small, would they be just as understanding to a politician who was in a similar situation? (The answer, by the way, is "no.") Another memory I have of the Post-Gazette took place more than a decade ago. This time the paper wrote a favorable editorial about the doubling of a toll for a local expressway, stating that commuters using this road should pay for the convenience. A few weeks later these same people wrote a negative editorial about a local bank raising its ATM service fee. Now besides the fact that the first fee increase was done by the government and the second increase was done by a private institution, what’s the difference between the two increases? Both are “service-oriented” tolls that can be avoided by a consumer, and both were of a similar amount (something like 50 cents). One just happened to make an evil corporation richer while the other paid for more construction workers to stand around a gravel pit and play with big machines. A more recent oldie-but-goldie came when the Post-Gazette weighed in on the Kelo v. New London case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Basically, this was an eminent domain situation where the State wanted to take the homes of residents and give the land to a private developer. In their praising of this decision, it’s interesting to note how the Post-Gazette labeled three of the Justices who dissented as “conservative” yet don’t use any adjectives to describe the five communists that said it’s OK for the State to take a person’s land and give it to someone else who will, in theory, generate more tax revenue, thus contributing to the “greater good” of an area. When I decided to subscribe to a local newspaper I did not want to become a regular customer of the left-wing Post-Gazette. I turned to the Tribune-Review, a much more conservative publication funded by the “George Soros of the right-wing” Richard Mellon Scaife. I didn’t care much about the actual news content I was buying since I read on the Internet most of the wire articles both newspapers use. All I wanted was a Sunday newspaper so I could clip coupons and look through weekly circulars. I ordered a year’s subscription to the Trib, and the service I received during those 12 months was less-than-stellar. My subscription was for Sunday newspapers only, and for the year I was a subscriber I didn’t receive my publication in at least eight instances. When it came time to renew my subscription, I decided to wait and see if the Trib would contact me and offer me some sort of deal because I certainly wasn’t going to pay full price for this pisspoor service. (My original offer was a discounted “new customer” promotion.) After my subscription expired, I received some extra issues in the weeks that followed, which was expected. Whenever I got stiffed on my Sunday newspaper, I let the Trib home office know about it and they’d give me a credit. Well, this past week, I got a letter from the Trib. Was it an special offer to renew my subscription? No. It was a bill for two month’s worth of newspapers delivered to my house. Curious about this bill, I called the Trib and was told by a customer service representative that my subscription ran out and this fee was for the newspapers I received that weren’t part of my subscription. She added that unless I called the Tib and specifically told them not to renew my subscription, that they would assume I wanted my subscription renewed. Now I have subscribed to at least a half-dozen news publications in my lifetime, and whenever I decided not to re-subscribe I didn't have to call and tell them of my decision. When my subscriptions ran out at these other places, I simply stopped getting their publications. When I told this lady how could the Trib have known what I wanted to do in regards to my account, she said that sending issues to people that haven’t re-subscribed was company policy. I then told her that these Sunday newspapers stopped arriving at my house more than a month ago, thus showing me the Trib must have realized that I no longer wanted their service; otherwise, I would be still getting newspapers. I encountered an extended pause, followed by “I’m sorry,” to which I replied, “No, I’m sorry because the Tribune-Review will never have me as a regular subscriber again.” Now what am I to do? Go to the liberal rag in town for my weekly coupons or stick with the right-wing tabloid that screwed me out of a few bucks? Well, unless I get a subscription deal from either publication, I will just drive down to a local business that sells newspapers (there are several located less than a mile from my house), and get whatever one is available. This week, the Post-Gazette’s early Sunday edition is my coupon-clipper of choice. I’m still deciding on whether or not to read the editorial page, though.

Well, Bob finally got around to giving me his picks: nl-asshole: Steelers, 30, 384 yards; Seahawks, 24, 419 yards. Kingofthe909: Steelers 17, 290 yards; Seahawks, 20, 345 yards. bob_barron: Steelers 27, 308 yards; Seahawks 20, 274 yards. Good luck to everybody, but especially to 909 and bob.

Ever since that "overrated" week, I have not tuned into a Countdown episode. In fact, I have tried to avoid all the pre-game shows for the last few seasons. The only thing I regularly watch on ESPN besides sports is Around the Horn with a bit of Jim Rome and PTI if I'm in the mood or have nothing else to do. I really dig Tony Reali; there was a bit on PTI where he was doing his "mistakes" segment and got pissed when mentioning that Kanye West Rolling Stone cover.

Only thing I don't like is the voting. I thought it was fake too until I saw where Nice Guy Adam was from. I'm not into wrestling, but I'll give this a listen. So far great job. I'd be interested in hearing other subjects, but one thing at a time.

Hey, they get 29 days once every four years.

The PA is more like a "strength of schedule" than "defense." And you got eliminated in the Wild Card. The Bears at least didn't lose their division.

Being a negro, these are my smiliies of choice: Mid-Atlantic 'til the casket drop.

I must admit that I do have more street cred than BL.

Que?

Eh, there are Golden Arches in Shittsburgh open all night, too. I don't do the drive-thru late at night, partly because of situations like this, although the better half wanted to go to McDonald's yesterday before heading to her second job, and we spent at least 15 minutes in the drive-thru with only 3 CARS IN FRONT OF US. This McDonald's is run like shit, and I don't go there anymore after that "when are you going to die" incident I talked about in another thread. The better half does though, and each time she bitches about the food/service and says she's never coming back.

I don't like being part of a white church, let alone a black one.

First thought that came to mind: Gay Julian getting his groove on with that dude and Vic interrupts the party.

• I was listening to Rush today on RIGHT-WING RADIO, and he busted out an audio clip of that infamous ESPN Sunday Countdown where he said those mean things about Donovan McNabb being overrated because the mainstream sports media want black quarterbacks to succeed. It has been a while since I saw that Countdown episode, and I’m glad I got to hear this segment again because it was more hilarious the second time around. Not only did I get to relive Michael Irvin’s “He has a point” remark, but also, interestingly enough, nobody on the panel reacted with offense to Rush’s dreaded “overrated” line when it was first uttered, not even Chris “I never saw Donovan McNabb as a black quarterback ever …ever …” Berman. In addition, there weren’t any little black kids asking Tom Jackson if it is OK for them to be quarterbacks. Fuck you ESPN, fuck you Berman, and Fuck you Jackson. • So what exactly is the worst thing you can do to a Muslim male nowadays? Is it cramming a bunch of them in a crappy boat that’s destined to sink? No sir. It looks like drawing funny pictures of Mohammad is the answer. Why do I say this? Because a bunch of Muslims are up in arms at a Danish newspaper that had the audacity to publish back in September some caricatures of this prophet of Allah, which I guess is forbidden to do in the Muslim world, much like it is to have literate wives and daughters that want professional careers. In a show of solidarity, and an unusual display of spine, other European newspapers defended Denmark and ran the pictures in their publications. A French editor was even fired for publishing these cartoons. And while the European media have stood up to this Muslim aggression (you don’t hear that every day), the U.S. State Department is siding with those who would consider us infidels. So let me get this straight. We fund “artists” to submerge the image of Christ in a jar of pee, but we align ourselves with those who think these are offensive? Nice. Also, why is the North American media shying away from showing us these pictures? "I don't see it as a necessity to run them," said the editorial page editor at the San Francisco Chronicle. I wonder if these people in Medium-Large Media thought the same way about, oh, Abu Ghraib? • Just after he was sworn in to rape, pillage and plunder anything that is not connected to Halliburton, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has sided with the commie libs on the High Court and said that the state of Missouri can’t just yet go and execute some guy for raping and killing a 15-year old girl. Why did he rule this way? My guess is because the crime only took place in 1989, which is far too soon to kill a convicted murderer/rapist; the condemned has at least 15 more years to suck up public funds in his quest to have what he refused his victims -- life. I’m sure there’s a valid reason why Alito went in the direction he did, but I’m too indifferent and lazy to try and find out. • Some kids in Florida have refused to sell junk food for fundraising purposes in hopes of collecting enough money for a school trip to Williamsburg, Va., and Washington, D.C. Well, if they don’t want to peddle these wares and can’t come up with another way of getting the money, then they better not whine about their lack of out-of-classroom activities. A teacher at this school has tried to come up with other ways for these kids to raise money; one idea was to have car washes. Too bad that a washing a car is even worse than selling junk food. Not only are you wasting a precious resource to do something that can be accomplished by Mother Nature on a rainy day, but also you are sprucing up an evil machine that pollute the environment. • Western Union has ceased with what made them famous -- they have stopped providing telegram services. Good for them. Who sends telegrams anyway now? Instead of saying goodbye to an old fixture of previous American societies, we ought to be encouraged that Western Union has evolved with the changing marketplace and focused its talents on additional services instead of the out-dated telegram. Other businesses would be wise to follow this practice. • So that’s why the Wendy's down the street from me shut down last month? Damnit. That was a nice store, too. Those people that organized the finger-in-the-chili hoax deserve to burn in hell for taking away my Wendy's. • New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg “anonymously” gave $100 million to help fund a stem-cell research facility. If the donation was “anonymous,” then why am I reading about it? Well, at least he puts his money where his mouth is regarding this issue, which is odd for any politician to do. And while we’re talking about New York and fetuses, this guy got charged with abortion while beating his knocked-up girlfriend. Oddly enough, the baby survived. I’ll leave the punch line up to you.

It's not an excuse, it's more like a reason. When you're all but given an automatic 8 wins, you better make the playoffs at the very least.

Here I thought Clint Eastwood was making a sequel.

Just read your column. A few thoughts: • I think the Steelers reaching the Super Bowl is enough for the National Media, especially with Big Ben and Jerome Bettis. If Denver would have won instead two weeks ago, then I would agree with you. • Shittsburgh hasn't been a "working-class" city for some time. I know that's the image the town likes to project, but sadly this shithole lives in the past. • Willie Parker seems to break out once or twice a game with a big run or screen pass. Otherwise, he doesn't do much with the ball. I agree with the tight ends playing a surprise role in this one. • I think coaching will be a huge role in this game; if Seattle can pick up the blitz, watch out. • I'm sorry, but any team that has half of its schedule against Arizona, St. Louis and San Francisco has an easy schedule. At least Indy had to play Jacksonville twice.

Regarding Bettis: He grew up in Detroit (just in case you haven't heard this news over the last two weeks) and does a lot of public service for New Fallujah, so leave a brotha alone. As for Porter, he's always been a mouth, and frankly, I'm not sold on Shittsburgh winning this game. From what I've observed, Seattle's O-line is really solid, as is their defensive line. And it does seem that the Steelers are getting most of the press these past two weeks, which is often the precursor to an upset. Since you brought up the Indy game, if Troy Polamalu got that interception, there wouldn't have been any late-game antics. Of course, I'm not 100 percent sure on this because I spent that afternoon with the better half watching "Narnia" because it was her birthday, so I didn't actually watch the game, except for part of the first quarter.
