Jobber of the Week

Screw voting, let's decide elections this way. I think we should just pick people on the streets at random and let them be President for one day. It would be interesting to watch our policy shift on a day-by-day basis depending on who gets to be the lucky person. Also means a lot more minorites in the big chair than we've got going now.

KONTEXT-AWAY is a joke, fella.

Is this kind of like how the security color level always goes up right around a massive anti-war protest?

Poor guy. It's easy to be a blame magnet when you're the last holdout from the Clinton years.

Roddy Piper at WM19. Crowd seemed mostly on it's hands the whole show (maybe because the room was so big nothing really carried), but boy oh boy did that one really pop everyone. Their only mistake was not making it a one-time thing.

Right, but the "community" positions don't always agree with everybody. I don't know if GLAAD wasn't watching the show until the marriage stuff came up, and just didn't see the earlier stuff with the skits and whatnot, or if they just figured that publicity is publicity.

See, the thing is, there's gimmicks that work, and then there's gimmicks that don't. Too Cool is so far beyond it's experation date that the contents smell funny, have weird things floating in the stew, and the top and bottom of the can is bulging for some inexplicable reason. But when it was new, it made a short-term gimmick that worked. I get the feeling that over the next six months Eugene will be a really devisive character. To me, it's insulting. I'm suprised so many aren't insulted. We all originally agreed that the childlike crap was going to have to halt once he got in the ring, but so far it's been "LOL WATER BOTTLE FUNNY. LOL HE MENTIONED OLD WRESTLER HOW FUNNY." Throw on the Rock shit and now you have marks going "LOL MOCK PEOPLE'S ELBOW FUNNY." Hey, if they wanted to go through with it, that's their thing. But putting him any higher up on the card than Benjamin is ridiculous.

KONTEXT-AWAY wins again!

This changes the dynamics of everything.

Hm. Could be alright. I'm kind of concerned, though, because having them tied to each other seems awfully condusive to a bad match.

That must have been the most boring match ever. WHAT!? Tag Titles are now on Velocity? It can't get any worse after this... Never mind, it just did. Oh yeah. The board of directors. Again. THRILLING. We're reaching low-end WCW here.... I admit, I laughed. I wish they'd at least EXPLAIN the rules when they announce a new or obscure match type that most people haven't heard of and everyone else has forgot. Even Russo was smart enough to do that. That's a main event!? UGH!!!!!

Altered for honesty.

Problem is what you're saying is that sure, while what these guys did was bad, that doesn't mean what happened at the prison was all right. Conversely, I can say that although what happened at the prison what bad, that doesn't make this situation any less serious, either.

Actually, in my R&J example, she's from a wealthy family. Perhaps the play doesn't paint a proper picture but I wasn't there, so I don't know how wealthy 14 year old heirs were being treated.

Okay, I've been reading up on this. The dirty bomb thing is balogna, they already ruled it any possibility he could have actually followed through with anything like that.

Even if people thought it was overblown, they couldn't deny that it's news.

Yes, I would. That's why I wouldn't do it.

Technically, any airplane the President is on-board is Air Force One. Big difference between saying he's taking Air Force One and taking advantage of the White House's travel options. According to FundRace, he's taken more flights on United alone than he has with the White House system, although when he goes that route he sure runs up a much larger bill than he does anywhere else. I believe Clinton still holds the record for campaigning on taxpayer gas than anybody else, although Bush is quickly reaching it. No wonder I can't stand either guy.

Same question. I don't know what channel you were watching, but all three cable news channels treated it like a big video game. Anytime someone mentioned a military vehicle, CNN had a sports-like statistic screen of weight and max speed and wingspan and whatever else while a 3D representation of said vehicle rotated around on the screen.

Huh? Killing Hamas? Sure, go ahead, no problem.

There's no moral problem beyond the fact that it's almost impossible to give a child a fair break at that age. I don't advocate reproduction morals beyond "don't rape" much, anyway. As long as it's consentual, go off and be happy.

I said that one guy didn't speak for a group as a whole. I think it's obvious that programming to the lowest common denominator has been very successful, especially for television. Care else to explain how the regular Fox network decides to run shows like "Glutton Bowl" and "Man VS Beast" and "World's Most Explosive Police Showdowns"? I still don't mind watching FNC in the daylight hours, but as the sun goes down the hosts become more and more confrontational until somewhere around O'Reilly it becomes a verbal streetfight. This draws plenty of gawkers and lookey-loos. It has for years. I never said that Fox draws the stupid by being conservative. In fact, that statement had nothing to do whatsoever with it's political bias. I do think it draws easily amused people in with it's arguements and shoutfests. These easily amused people don't necessarily have to be conservative, they could liberal or moderate, too.

Care to expand on that?

Actually, I ignore most criminal court cases period. I recognize the name from the newspaper, but I haven't ever read the story under the headlines. I've watched almost no TV news in the past two weeks or so, which is why I'm off on the top stories bit.

Here's one I keep seeing over and over on TV, even these days:
