Hey, Baseball: Ya Might As Well Change The Name of the MLB At-Bat 11 App to Laura...

Hey, Baseball: Ya Might As Well Change The Name of the MLB At-Bat 11 App to Laura...

You know why? Because it is as "compatible" with my "compatible" phone as I was "compatible" with that hideous (and now disbarred) succubus I once married.

You took $9.99 out of my checkbook, MLB. Laura's chunk, admittedly, was bigger.

I'd love to watch a game with you, because you TOLD me I'd be able to before I married... er, "bought" you, but my phone isn't good enough for you.

I'd love to listen to a game with you. But after about 45 seconds Nothing that comes out of your speaker is even remotely listenable. Just as... unlistenable as, say... LAURA!

So, enjoy my money, MLB. And my house. Wait, the house was Laura...

LBGT Community: Stop Subjecting Yourselves To The Paper Bag Test.

The hetero world we live in has a hard time understanding the transgendered, and I can't say that I get it, completely. (I mean, I'm mad at God for the junk He gave me, but that's mostly a girth issue.)

HOWEVER, the LBGT somehow marginalizing you makes about as much sense to me as the Paper-bag test amongst people of color. Who the f--k cares who's browner? The white guy next to you still thinks you're beneath him.

New York is already being sued to stop same sex marriage, DADT aint dead yet, and there are still plenty of people that think you should DIE for your sexuality.

You wanna cry and scream because a transgendered woman wants to come to MichFest? F--k you. Stop wearing your asses as a hat and realize that you have MANY more important causes for which to fight.

The 2007 Best Artist You've Never Heard Of is... Amy Winehouse.

The 2007 Best Artist You've Never Heard Of is... Amy Winehouse.

Already a hit in the UK, I stumbled upon her by following a link that listed jazz singers influenced by Gospel singing, and I was just bowled over when I found her.

Her voice is equal parts Eryhak Badu, Nina Simone and melted butter. Her gospel influence is readily apparent in the single "Rehab", my early pick for Best Song of 2007. The music is Motown produced by Phil Spector, and only the fidelity of the track would convince you that it wasn't some passed-over gem from 1968.

(ARRANGEMENT AND PRODUCTION ANALYSES FOLLOW: THIS COULD GET BORING.) The song opens with the chorus (a la "Help" or "Ticket to Ride") with double handclaps on the 2 and 4 beat. Because of their positioning in the song, you are led to believe that these are the verses: You eventually realize that these "verses" have no lyrical or key change. Obviously written on a guitar, the song stays in C Major throughout, with a progression of C G C F C, standard in every Hootie and the Blowfish song and about eleventy jillion others. It is the bizarre Verse progression that builds ungodly tension. The E - Am [five half-steps apart] to F - Ab [5 half-steps apart, 1/2 step higher] to G creates a "Chopsticks"-like simultaneous ascension-descension that, maddeningly, never resolves. The song's cold ending, perfect for radio, leaves you feeling like you do when a rollercoaster ride ends earlier than you expect: Loving the experience but wanting more.

Betty White Snubs Marine, Citing Schedule Conflict, Fear of African-Americans.

Actress Betty White has declined an invitation to one of the upcoming Marine Corps Balls in November, citing both a scheduling conflict and a lack of desire to "be in a room full of darkies."

Just days after 'Friends With Benefits' stars Lance Bass and Meg Griffin agreed to accompany two Marines to the event, the 90-year-old "Hot in Cleveland" star was propositioned.

"I would like to take Betty White, she's funny, she's sweet, she's mature, she's the all-around the perfect woman," Sgt. Ray Lewis says in a YouTube video.

Betty White responded via Western Union telegram:

Dear Sgt. Lewis: STOP Received your picture-radio doohickey STOP I will not be able to attend the Darkie Parade with you STOP I simply have no time in my schedule to be alone with a spearchucker STOP No don't put that in there I'll get protested STOP Seriously STOP STOP it.

Anyway, Best of luck with your parole STOP Love your work with the Ravens.

SCENE.

UPDATED: Casey Anthony located, CNN Confirms

Casey Anthony FOUND! Location Confirmed By ABC News.


Luckiest-defendant-ever Casey Anthony, who walked out of prison free to kill children anywhere in the United States, has been found after a grueling 2-day search.

ABC News has confirmed that Casey was found in a wooded area, just 15 houses away from her parents' home in F--kysister, Florida. She had last been seen with her nanny, Jose Baez, who failed to report her missing.

"I am a bit surprised that she was found there," said police officials. "I think we already looked around there. But, you know, we aren't exactly going to win any awards for being able to find missing people in woods. We're, like, 0-for-25, at least."

(Eventually) following up on an anonymous tip phoned it from a meter reader, Anthony was found.

"It's good to know that the authorities know where she is now," said one resident. "Now I can let my kids out to play."

Dr. Laura Emerges From Obscurity, Refers to Black Caller as The N-Word 400 Times, Disappears

Dr. Laura Schlessinger has apologized to a country that thought she was dead, after a shocking rant on her radio show, during which she said the n-word 11 times over the course of five minutes.

"Yesterday, I did the wrong thing," she said. "I didn't intend to hurt people, but I did. When I was a kid, the N-word was appropriate to say in polite company. That's the way my family spoke. I mean, I heard a teacher read "Huckleberry Finn" aloud once; I thought it was a transcript of my mother talking about our housekeeper.

"But, because some darky got her little feelings hurt, that makes it the wrong thing to have done. I was attempting to make a philosophical point -you know, the philosophy of 'I'm white, and the coloreds are beneath me', and I articulated the "n" word all the way out - more than one time. In fact, if I said it any more times, it would've sounded like a G-Unit CD.

See, I truly believe that if we take back that word, and use it as God had intended --Which is belittling African-Americans so they remember their place-- we'd all be better off.

And that was wrong. I'll say it again - that was wrong. In fact, I will say that I am wrong at the bottom of each hour of my show, The Dr. Laura Schlessinger Show, so please listen."

"Please? They... They're going to foreclose on my house. Please listen?"

Below is a transcript of the N-word call:

DR. LAURA: Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO and listen to a black comic, and all you hear is n---er, n---er, n---er. I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing. But when black people say it, it's affectionate. It's very confusing.

CALLER: Are you serious? Who are you to say that to...

DR. LAURA: Shut up, n---er. See? *laughs* That means I like you! N---er.

CALLER: Who speaks like that?

DR. LAURA: Oh, then I guess you don't watch HBO or listen to any black comedians, Look, jungle bunny, the point I am trying to make...we've got Afroman as president and we've got more complaining about racism than ever. I think that's hilarious."

Schlessinger and the caller then got into an exchange about the use of the word:

CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?

DR. LAURA: It depends how it's said. You n---ers talking to each other seem to think it's ok.

CALLER: But you're not black, they're not black, my husband is white.

DR. LAURA: Race-traitor says what?

CALLER: What?

DR. LAURA: Oh, I see, so a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can't do much about that. Golliwogg.

CALLER: I can't believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the n***** word, and I hope everybody heard it.

DR. LAURA: I didn't spew out the n---er word!

CALLER: You said "n---er, n---er, n---er" and I hope everybody heard it.

DR. LAURA: Yes they did, and I'll say it again: n---er, n---er, n---er is what you hear on HBO.

DR. LAURA: "What should I call you? Negro?"

CALLER: "And I'll call you Whitey."

DR. LAURA: "Tar baby."

CALLER: "What did you say?"

DR. LAURA: "Tar baby."

CALLER: "Ofay."

DR. LAURA: "Colored."

CALLER: "Redneck."

DR. LAURA: "Jungle bunny."

CALLER: "Peckerwood."

DR. LAURA: "Burr-head."

CALLER: "Cracker."

DR. LAURA: "Spear-chucker."

CALLER: "White trash."

DR. LAURA: "Jungle bunny."

CALLER: "Honkey."

DR. LAURA: "Spade."

CALLER: "Honkey-honkey."

DR. LAURA: "N---er!"

CALLER: "Dead honkey!"

DR. LAURA: Why don't you let me finish a sentence? Don't take things out of context. Don't NAACP me, leave them in context.

"If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry outside of your race, lawn jockey." Schlessinger said after hanging up with the caller.

She set forth her mea culpas the next day, opening her show with an apology.

"I'm very sorry you Nig-nogs got your afro-hair-filled panties in a bunch. I am very sorry. And it just won't happen again. Mau-Mau-- Sorry, sorry. It's so hard to change. I'm sorry."

Did you know:

Dr. Laura is full of sh-t? Her Ph.D. in in physiology, not psychology. In fact, her doctoral thesis was on the "Effects of Insulin on 3-0-Methylglucose Transport in Isolated Rat Adipocytes," which makes her perfectly qualified to talk about diabetic mice, and nothing else.

Darwinian Pruning Removes 8 Off-Road Race Fans From Gene Pool.

Darwinian Pruning Removes 8 Off-Road Race Fans From Gene Pool.

For thousands on higher rungs of the Darwinian ladder, The Soggy Dry Lake Bed 200 Off-Road Race sounds like the entertainment provided in the Seventh Circle of Hell.

Sadly, 8 of the thousands who went to see the race were unceremoniously removed from the gene pool; killed when one of the trucks smashed into a crowd of spectators, also injuring 12 others.

Dr Hibbert Says..."Hillbillies want to be called 'Sons of the Soil', but it ain't gonna happen."

The accident happened in minute 12 of the 200 mile race, held at a Dry Lake Bed about $110,000 south of Los Angeles' average family income. The annual event attracts tens of thousands of spectators, who line the 50-mile dirt track and watch all terrain vehicles careen across the Mojave Desert, hitting speeds of up to 100 miles per hour.

"The minute I heard that there was a race, where huge, heavy vehicles hurtle at breakneck speeds in the desert," Said Clem Purdy, 22, a grandfather of 8. " I said to myself, 'I've got to bring my wife and kids as close to the danger as I possibly can!' "

Eyewitness David Conklin, working as a photographer for Off-Road magazine until the L.A. Times hires him, told The Associated Press that the Prerunner truck flipped and plowed into the crowd after hitting a jump known as "the rockpile" about two miles into the race. "There were inbred people everywhere, just everywhere, people screaming, people running. When I got up to the vehicle I could tell that several people were trapped. There were just bodies everywhere," he said, adding that he "saw surprisingly few teeth, but that was before the race even started."

San Bernardino County Fire Department spokeswoman said that seven ambulances, 10 emergency helicopters and, surprisingly, 3 Coast Guard rescue boats rushed to the crash, and transported 12 people with critical injuries to nearby hospitals.

Interestingly, the driver emerged almost unscathed from the wreck, but had to flee the scene as members of the crows began beating the hell out of him.

"Who the f--k told those a--holes to stand on the racetrack? That is retarted," said the driver. "The last thing I expect to see, midway through a jump, is some redneck assclown looking up at me with a disposable camera.

Judge Rules Undocumented Canadian Immigrants Are Legal Because They Are Not Brown

Judge Rules Undocumented Canadian Immigrants Are Legal Because They Are Not Brown

A Federal Judge in Arizona ruled today that Canadians that enter the United States without proper documentation are not to be considered illegal aliens.

The landmark case of Dion, Lavigne, Morissette et als. v. The United States, featured some fiesty diliberation by attorneys for both sides before Judge Helen Waite of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Court's opinion was rendered just an hour after oral argument concluded, and read in pertinent part:

...The issue that is before us is whether a law established to prevent the wanton immigration of Mexicans into this country be applied to Canadians as well.

This Court finds that it can not.

For well over two centuries, this country has seeded the garden of cultural diversity by welcoming the disenfranchised populace from those middle-European countries that were teeming with caucasians. These persons were willing to learn our language, pay their share of taxes, and hate the same people that we as Americans hate.

And Canadian immigrants, seeking to live in a country whose northern half isn't a frozen wasteland, and whose military isn't the punchline of a global joke, have continued that noble tradition.

...It is the sinister Mexican immigrants who are unwilling to adopt English as their language, and who wish to steal away careers as hotel maids and fruit pickers from Americans. It is the Mexicans who continue to eat rice with breakfast, and artifically inflate the value of 10 year-old Toyota Corollas in the used car market.

And it is Mexicans that refuse to stop being brown.

And until Mexican immigrants are willing to eschew their culture and adopt ours, this Court has not choice but to ensure that undocumented immigrants continue to be treated as criminals in the United States, even though so-called illegal immigration has never been a criminal offense. Canada has littered popular culture with detritus such as Shania Twain, Keanu Reeves and Bryan Adams. And while we thank them for Kristin Kreuk; it is for Celine Dion that Canada can never be forgiven.**

It was that last sentence that confused many Americans.

"Shocking, huh, gringitos?" asked Manny Ramirez, a busboy at a coffee shop in Washington, DC. "Contrary to public opinion, illegal immigration is only a civil wrong, not a crime."

Rudy Guiliani said as much during his Presidential bid in 2004: I know that's very hard for people to understand, but it's not a federal crime," Giuliani said, adding later: "I was U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York. So believe me, I know this. In fact, when you throw an immigrant out of the country, it's not a criminal proceeding. It's a civil proceeding."

(Editor's note: Why is Rudy Guiliani such a demigod in America? I mean, he was mayor of New York City on September 11, 2001, and terrorists knocked down the two largest structures on the East Coast. Plus, does anyone remember that he was the U.S. Attorney who couldn't convict John Hinckley, who was filmed by 248 cameras shooting President Reagan?! Google it: The man who put a bullet in Reagan's belly has no criminal record. Seems to me that the score is: Murderous Scum, 2,598; Rudy G., 0.)

In fact, Arizona's Draconian anti-Mexican law is the first attempt in this country to criminalize undocumented immigration. Think about it: Have you ever heard of anyone being "convicted" of entering the country illegally? Nope, because the law treats it as a Tort, not a crime --no different from trying to get through airport security with 12 ounces of mouthwash; you won't go to jail for it, but they will kick you off the plane.


In the wake of this decision, public reaction has been mixed:

"How can Canadians be considered the same as Mexicans," asked 78 year-old Marty Graw, of New Orleans. "They're much darker."

"Look, Mexicans are OK, I guess," said Mary Christmas, of Cincinnati. "Is there any way we can deport the blacks?"

"Odio este país," said Jose Jiminez, of Cuidad de Mort, Mexico. "Pero TV por cable es mucho mejor aquí."

**In contrast, we can forgive Mexico for 2 or 3,000,000 extra day-laborers when they've provided us with Jessica Alba, who tries to look white; Salma Hayek, who tries to look under 60; Demi Lovato, who tries to act; Selena Gomez, who desperately needs to get out of my dreams, and into my car, and Adriana Sage, who is kind enough to eat knobs on film for money. So, thanks!

Lady Gaga Sues Madonna, Ace of Base for Plagiarism. " 'La Isla Bonita and 'Don't Turn Around' Sound Exactly Like Alejandro!

Lady Gaga Sues Madonna, Ace of Base for Plagiarism. " 'La Isla Bonita and 'Don't Turn Around' Sound Exactly Like Alejandro!'

Popular recording artist Lady Gaga, voted 'Most Respected Artist of The Decade' by AutoTune Afficionado magazine, is suing some of the biggest names in music, but for good reason.

They are stealing Gaga's records.

The suit filed in Federal Court today cites two records -- Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" and the Ace of Base track "Don't Turn Around"-- calling them "derivative at best and, more accurately, carbon copies of 'Alejandro', in terms of style, sound, and vapidity of lyrics."

Lady Gaga commented on the suit: "They rerecorded 'Alejandro' and called it 'Don't Turn Around.' And Madonna stole parts of it for 'La Isla Bonita'."

"I'm so glad there are a few different interpretations of my song, that was the idea," rambled Gaga. "Once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger. The use of my song by heroes of mine is a compliment of the highest order, but it's about my struggles. Trust is like a mirror. You can fix it if it's broke, but you can always see the crack in that mother... (EDITORS NOTE: This answer went on for ten f--king minutes, and Gaga didn't say a damned thing that made sense. Let's fast forward to --) ...from Polaroid and Virgin Mobile, as long as they pay me! Like Madonna and Ace of Base: The bitches need to pay me."

Lawyers for Madonna and Ace Of Base have made preliminary arguments in their defense, regarding some bullsh-t time-line mumbo-jumbo that they will rely on heavily at trial:

"Jesus Christ, does everyone have Gaga-Blinders on?" asked an attorney for Ace of Base, who clearly doesn't love Gaga as much as he should. "Tina Turner recorded 'Don't Turn Around' in 1985, Lady Gaga was born in 1986. What did she do, write it on her mother's uterus?"

Lady Gaga responded: "Well, we need to sue Tina Turner as well."

Dolphins Are Rubber-necking A--holes, Just Like Humans

Dolphin researchers are interested in reviewing footage taken of a dolphin leaping out of its holding cell during a July 4 marine show at Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, in southwestern Japan.

But not for the reason you'd think.

"People think we want to review it because the dolphin leapt from the tank," said Richard Queso of the "Equality Action Team: Dolphins" research facility. "The 30' dolphin is kept in a chlorinated pool the size of a Sea Monkeys aquarium. Of course he tried to leave! What we are interested in is the behavior exhibited by the other dolphins."

Indeed, moments after the dolphin jumped out of the tank, all of the other dolphins swam over and watched the goings-on for about a minute.

Queso, the founder of "EAT: Dolphins", believes that the rubber-necking dolphins exhibit human-level intelligence, and human-level boorishness.

"It is disappointing," continued Queso. "When those dolphins swam over to check on their tankmate, I thought they were there to check on his status, or to stand in solidarity with him."

"Instead, they just pointed and stared," continued EAT: Dolphins spokesperson Dave Rader. "One dolphin took out his Blackberry and began filming the rescue. The show came to a complete stop because these dolphins were rubber-necking."

Hideshi Teruya, who manages the dolphin section of Churaumi, said the dolphin suffered minor scratches and bruises on its head and fin but was fine, and had a healthy appetite for mackerel and squid almost as soon as it was returned to a tank.

"It was playing around and jumped out by accident from the momentum,*" he told The Associated Press.

Teruya acknowledged that dolphins --each of which weigh about as much as a bus-- sometimes spring out and so he has placed padding as thick as a yoga mat around the tanks to prevent serious injury.

Because that should help.

"Dolphins are used to roaming for many miles a day, not swimming in a circle and doing flips at shows," says Rader, who used to teach dolphins to swim in a circle and do flips at shows. "I am disappointed to see that dolphins exhibit the same bad behavior as humans, by rubbernecking when a fellow dolphin may be injured."


"If they become any more human, they'll start enslaving other animals for their own amusement."


PS: I've seen this footage. Trying to say this dolphin was playing around and jumped out by accident is like saying that the terrorists were just trying to improve air travel to the World Trade Center. That f--king dolphin was trying either trying to make a run for it, or he wanted to die. There was no playing going on.

Burger King Rolls Out New Sandwich: The BK 10:30.

Burger King Rolls Out New Sandwich: The BK 10:30.

Burger King, America's #2 Sh-t Food restaurant, announced that they are adding a "transitional" sandwich to their menu: The BK 10:30.

The BK 10:30 is a breakfast Croissan'wich that is, er . . . sandwiched between the two beefy patties of a Double Whopper.

"It can only be ordered around 10:30 in the morning," said HRH King, the creepy BK mascot. "That's when we are switching over from breakfast to lunch."

Burger King expects to sell about 100,000 a week nationwide, which is 99,980 more that the BK Veggie Burgers, which tastes like a cow's a--hole with mustard.

"The 'sandwich,' which has 4,400 calories and 420 grams of trans fat, face some opposition from the New Jersey Attorney General, who plans to arrest any BK employee that serves a BK 10:30.

"That is an myocardial infarction waiting to infarct," said the Attorney General. "Selling that is like selling a loaded revolver. Fat people will be dying by the unmarked-graveload."

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie --also stuffed with beefy patties-- has other ideas.

"The BK 10:30 (nom) is now (nom, nom) the official State (nom, munch) sandwich of New (*farts*_ Jersey," we think he said.

Casey Anthony FOUND! Location Confirmed By ABC News.

Luckiest-defendant-ever Casey Anthony, who walked out of prison free to kill children anywhere in the United States, has been found after a grueling 2-day search.

ABC News has confirmed that Casey was found in a wooded area, just 15 houses away from her parents' home in F--kysister, Florida. She had last been seen with her nanny, Jose Baez, who failed to report her missing.

"I am a bit surprised that she was found there," said police officials. "I think we already looked around there. But, you know, we aren't exactly going to win any awards for being able to find missing people in woods. We're, like, 0-for-25, at least."

(Eventually) following up on an anonymous tip phoned it from a meter reader, Anthony was found.

"It's good to know that the authorities know where she is now," said one resident. "Now I can let my kids out to play."

Why is Casey Anthony Going Free Today?

The greatest lawyers see things in black and white. They know that shades of grey exist, the just can't be bothered with 'em. They know that emotion exists, but they have a hard time divining them for themselves.

They are the ones that, at trial, say "F--k emotion, you are duty-bound to set emotion aside and employ LOGIC. Exclusively."

The most effective legal practitioners say, "Do you FEEL that this person is (insert undesired verdict here)? Because, if you don't, you must find for my client."

And that is why Casey's leaving jail today.

Michfest "We Are About Peace, Love, Healing and Understan... HEY!!! GET THE FUCK OUT TRANSGENDERED, NO ONE WANTS YOU IN HERE!!!!!

If you walk like a bigot, and quack like a bigot, and involve yourself with bigoted people, places and things, then you must be bigoted.

Hang your heads in shame.

From a brilliant column on http://transadvocate.com: (http://transadvocate.com/beckygrrl/?p=35)
Michfest: The Bigotry Continues

Any woman who might even think of calling herself a feminist knows that a bio-determinist policy, such as the “womyn born womyn” policy, which has been symbolically softened from refusal of admittance to transwomen to being willing to sell transwomen tickets to enter but still officially banning transsexual women, is an antiquated anathema to feminism’s most basic tenets.

It continues to amaze me how some women attendees and performers both, seem perfectly comfortable playing both sides (of) the fence, saying they’re against the WBW policy but are still willing to support the event with their participation. From my perspective, when I hear women talking about how positive and how freeing Michfest is, I feel roughly about the same as if I were listening to people talking about what a wonderful time they had at the last KKK Barbecue. And yes, before you ask, it is comparable.

...

You cannot attend or perform at Michfest and claim you support transpeople any more than you can attend that KKK BBQ and claim you support African-Americans. It’s only when people stand up and refuse to tacitly endorse hate with their participation in such events that real change finally occurs.
