The stupidity of stupidness

Today on MSN.com

These are the mini headlines on msn.com at this very moment, 11 Dec 2006 10:21 am…In the order they appear.

Palestinian leaders' children gunned down (by Hammas)

Radiation linked to Russian Spy

Iran hosts anti-holocaust conference

Bush (not President Bush, by the way) resumes Iraq strategy review


But FIRST on the list is a story about Barak Obama campaigning in New Hampshire for the 2008 election.

Hello MSN? If you don’t pay attention to the other 4 stories first and foremost, their isn’t going to be a country to have an election in 2008, or don't you know that?

Good Lord, when a dumbass like myself has to tell the so-called intellectual elite what the real deal is, how the hell are we ever going to get down to solving our myriad problems in the world?

Dear Santa,

What I want for Ch------- this year is for my fellow American citizens to get a clue. I've been good {well...sort of}

I saw it...but mentally filed it under the "Good grief charlie brown" category.

I think Obama is ok too...but I'm a lot more concerned about 3 kids getting gunned down - AND OF COURSE WHAT WILL FOLLOW FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OF IT - than I am about what an Illinois Senator is saying in Nashua NH this morning.

What- no mention of the break down in talks with Matsuzaka???

leelee said...

Ya know G.O.D. I am surprised he didn't mention that either...

:-0

JL4 said...

No break down...He'll be a member of the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox by Thursday's deadline.

The Yankees suck!

They have nothing to do with this...I just thought I'd point that fact out.


Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...that feels much better now

It would be stupid for the Red Sox to pay this kid like he's the greatest in the game when he's only 26 and has never pitched anywhere but Japan.

Know why there are only about 8 Japanese players in MLB? Because that's all there is at MLB caliber.

Soooooo, this guy strikes out minor league players like they're nothing, and his agent Scott Boras wants him to be paid like Roger Clemens?

I say take a hike

leelee said...

$51.11 million?????????

my goodness

JL4 said...

yup...$51.11 million, and the agent wants $15 million a year on top of that....AND HERE IS THE STICKING POINT..

If this kid pitches for a team like Boston, Red Sox gear is going to be worth hundreds of millions a year in Japan. Every other Japanese kid will be walking around in a Red Sox hat or jersey...kinda like---uhhhhh -----me.

The AGENT wants a cut of the profits...which is total Bull****....

leelee said...

Oh...I hadn't even thought of the marketing aspect...

that's an obscene amount of money!

Deal appears imminent
By Boston.com Staff
Information from the Associated Press and the Globe's Gordon Edes was used in this report.

BEDFORD, Mass. -- Daisuke Matsuzaka arrived in Massachusetts late this afternoon and headed immediately for Mass. General Hospital, presumably to have a physical in what would be the final hurdle in finalizing a longterm deal with the Red Sox.

Neither side has confirmed of a preliminary agreement, but it’s been widely reported that the sides were near agreement on a $52 million, six-year contract.

After a 4-hour, 43-minute flight from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif., the Dassault Mystere 900 tri-jet of Boston owner John Henry landed at Laurence G. Hanscom Field in suburban Bedford at 5:16 p.m.
