It always hits the fan on Wednesdays. Day one of Senior Final Exams is in the books.
Kobe Bryant went on Stephen A. Smith’s radio show and said he wanted the Lakers to trade him.
Just for Fun, listen to the podcast and then check out the ESPN Trade Machine.
And Yes, The Truth and Sebastian Telfair for The Black Mamba works salary cap wise. The Kobe/Yi combination could be huge.
The Tennis Channel. The most ill-conceived single sport channel idea ever.
Best headline I have seen in a long time…”Stray Rod”. Good to see A-Rod is taking his social ques from Stephen Jackson.
The Red Sox are a juggernaut right now.
With that said, someone call WEEI, I have a Potential Trade- Coco Crisp, Willi Mo Pena, Mike Bodin, and Manny Delcarman or David Pauley for Ichiro. They then would need to call up David Murphy or Jacoby Ellsbury to be the 4th outfielder. Anyone who read Ichiro’s comments in USA Today knows he could be had for a combination of MLB talent and prospects. Other the Roy Oswalt, it may be the only chance the Sox can get even better before the deadline.
It would make for such a plethora of riches, I break out into laughter like Red on the Bus to Mexico just thinking about it.
Big up’s to The History Channel. The program on Star Wars on Monday night was awesome. This morning’s History of Iraq from the beginning of time until today was the perfect Pre-Exam show to get me focused to proctor the test.
Lets Hope Cindy Sheehan missed it, because if she thought the War in Iraq was a lost cause before…damn….the show makes it clear nobody with exception of the Ottomans has been able to rule that region of the Middle East with any confidence since the Assyrians.
Lindsey Lohan returned to rehab. Another football league, the UFL, is being created to challenge the NFL. Just another case of losers not learning from history. Nothing in life sucks more then wasted talent.
Remember, when your up against it, Coffee is for Closers….So go out there and sell!

Beginning of the End? Lets Hope So
"Do not let our zeal blind us"-ME
“The View” is the worst television show every created.
Now, I have never actually seen a full episode. I tried, but had a seizure after about 15 minutes. Normally I would refrain from commenting on anything in this situation. I am not a “View” aficionado. They lost another overbearing wieght challenged host this week...in case you are reading this from beyond the grave. Anyway, heres why I hate it so.
1. It is one of the few shows that somehow works its way into every media outlet because of the lame qualities that draw the insane people who control our media. his show is covered by actual media outlets for creating news when the women start fighting. Local,national,international...it does not matter. It is pervasive.
2. The show has set women back 50 years. It has killed feminism. If Hillary Clinton every had a chance, it has gone up in flames. You want a women as President? Well, women in power have shown they cannot event co-exist on a morning TV show, let alone govern. Men have slaughtered for centuries, but we have never subjected the world to this. TV, Newspapers, and the Internet have covered the happening of these trifling ass women since its inception. Thus, it infuriates the inner chauvinist just by how much the show drags down the American culture. Thank You ladies....
3.The bizarre infatuation that both traditional and non traditional press has with this show works like a virus, destroying everything that is good in the world by its constant feeding on the souls of all people who watch television.”
4."The View” is life boiled down to a verbal cat fight. Are You Not Entertained? I swear to Buddha, if I have to see another “Breaking News” introduction followed by an analysis of the events on “The View” I am going to snap.
5. It may be the only show on TV controlled by people who have an tride and true evil agenda. I actually believe everyone associociated with the show, ....the hosts, the producers, the camera people, ...are all members of the Sith. The clip sums up their world view nicely. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is clearly Darth Vader to Barbra Walters' Darth Sidious. Rosie and Starr Jones ...obviously Darth Tyrannus and General Grievious.
Lets us all hope that this show is taken off the air and replaced with a meat rotisserie informercial.
Also...
After a thoroughly disappointing “fight” between Chuck Liddell and Quinton Jackson on Saturday night, I think we can put to the rest the idea that MMA is profoundly better then boxing. There has to be a happy medium. Thankfully, there is…no not “The View”…...it is call Football…and it can be seen every weekend from August until February.

Oh No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........
David Stern exacts his revenge as the C's, Grizz, and Bucks fall out of the top 4.
The Celtics will pick 5th. Welcome to hell Doc....
And we thought 18 in a row was bad....
The Truth just asked for a trade.....
Oh, and ESPN coverage could not have been more terrible.
Time to vomit again....

On the NBA
Over the course of the NBA season, many things happen. Young teams grow and develop, veteran teams make the push for playoffs, and injuries/bad front offices send teams plummeting in the depths of the NBA draft lottery. As we wait for the lottery tomorrow night, the hopes of entire cities rest on the bounce of the ubiquitous ping pong ball. The fate of the league in a handful of cities/regions could be decided.
A restful northeast region of the country, obsessed with sports, will take time out of the greatest rivalry in American sports to hold its breath. Picks one or two, and we are in business. Getting either Oden or Durant raises the talent level for the Celtics and certainly helps the teams overall profile. The current profile is that of a once proud franchise that succumbed to the most generic qualities of the NBA. What happens if we end up with picks three or above? Millions of people vomit on the spot. Danny and Doc spin the media like Karl Rove on cocaine. In reality, to quote the Talking Heads, “You may ask yourself…..How did I get Here?”. I say the C’s should trade the pick if this is the case. Although Dice K has worked out so far for the Sox, the C’s venturing to the Far East with the number 3 pick would come as a surprise. Under this dark scenario, the even more apt Talking Heads classic becomes its most clichéd.
As the playoffs started, the possibilities of fast paced action for two solid months were fascinating. Two months of the best the NBA has to offer. The early defeat of the number one seeded Dallas Mavericks by the Stephen Jackson led eighth seeded Golden State Warriors sent the basketball world into a frenzy. However, as the San Antonio Spurs outlasted the Phoenix Suns, every NBA fan saw the potential for a terrible NBA finals fall over the sports landscape like the black plague. Spurs vs. Pistons? Are you kidding me? What did we do to deserve this punishment? Our only hope is that somehow David Stern finds a away to FIX the Eastern Conference Finals. If anyone can do it, he can. Lebron vs. Duncan would create some excitement. It would create dynamic match ups that may lead to interesting basketball. I am trying to be optimistic.
Otherwise, lets all be happy the Sox are heading into the summer as the most dominant team in Major League Baseball. So, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no party, but lets hope it is the beginning of a new age for professional basketball in New England.
The cultural impact of a dominate Boston Celtics franchise is immeasurable. In the 1980’s it stomped out communism. Can terrorism be far behind this time around? I think not.
Go Celtics!

Tuesday Night Throwdown
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
Best Podcasts ever- Bill Simmons, and The Axis of Justice Radio Network...
Watching the Karate Kid and listening to the Bill Simmons podcast.....exactly what our fore fathers desired in the summer of 1776.
Jerry Falwell died. Somewhere he is blaming "the Gays" for heart disease. One of America's worst.....
The great David Faustino, who brought Bud Bundy to life on Married with Chlidren, was arrested friday on possesson of the chronic. My childhood is now over....
So I finally saw Spiderman 3. It has a 15 minute section in it where Peter Parker finally grows a sac. It was awesome, even with the lame dancing.
If I had a 99 mph fast ball, I would play baseball....
Adam Carrolla's idea for the film "Pedoph-Isle" is hilarious, not unlike my concept for "Soccer Hooligans in Connecticut".
Listening to Micheal Holley fill in for Jerry Callahan has been great. It just proves the fact that 70% of Micheal Holley is better then 100% of Jerry Callahan, especially at 6 am.
The suspension of Stoudemire and Diaw for game 5 in PHX is huge. Look for Duncan to dominate.

'Been Feeling Uninspired...
Two bizarre elements are at play right now. Being a slave to 'Da Man destroys my intellectual blogger energy. Whoring myself to play the game has been mentally taxing. Also, with fewer papers to correct as the year comes to a close, I find myself with fewer opportunities to procrastinate via a blog. Nothing gets my blood boiling more then grading 150 essays on various aspects of Family Law in America. Doing that had me acting like the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania for months. Since, the rants have been far less jaded. This neutered effect has me again contemplating a purely sports blog(which has been done), as sports are working as the glue that keeps me from a multi-media censory overload. So, we will see.
A few observations from the week
-France has a new leader, and England will have a new leader this summer. I envy them.
-The War in Afganistan is still going on.
-Paris Hilton is going to jail. Our Long national nightmare is over….
-The less said about Dancing with the Stars...the better the world will be...
Here are some instances of genius in our culture that I found this week.
-“Looking good Billy Ray"
-“Feeling good Lewis”

The King On Marriage Vol.1
Before delving into the complex nature of Marriage in America, the King will start slow with an observation on an issue close to every mans heart.
One aspect of interest has long been the American family. Defining a family is a constantly evolving process. The only thing that has remained a constant is the social acceptance of older men marrying younger women.
I for one applaud this circumstance. Why? Not necessarily because my own 60 year plan involves such a scenario, though it definitely does. It is because of Dennis Kucinich. Is there anything that man cannot do? (Other then become President.)
You see, marrying a women 30 years younger then you takes skill and experience. The kind of skill and experience every man, no matter what their politician or religious affiliation may be, appreciates with vigor.
As long as our society is a patriarchy that pays superficial lip service to the idea of equality, men like Kucinich may be mocked for being vegans or their eerie resemblance to one the Keibler Elves, but may also be the standard by which all the hopes of single men everywhere lie. No matter how old you are, you can still marry a 30 year old when your sixty, and enter a pantheon commonly only open to aging Hollywood movie stars and Hugh Hefner, glory be thy name.
As sure as I am that I sweat education, I am sure that this scenario will continue to be played out over an over and over again to the admiration of dudes everywhere.
BYAH!

The Power of Sorry
“I am sorry.”
This phrase has become the most powerful phrase in the English language. We have apparently decided that as long as someone says they are in fact sorry about something, then forgiveness can be found with time and patience. Mel Gibson, Jason Giambi, Robert McNamara, and Howard Stern. All of them are fools who acted with great hubris in their fields of business or personal lives, only to be exposed and then capitulate later. All of them are clear examples of how the American people would rather forgive and forget then deal with reality of long term consequences. America has become a land of apologists. Nobody recognizes what respondsibility looks like anymore.
My kids are disrespectful in school? I’m sorry.
I failed the test…Its ok, I teach to mastery.
Our leaders are corrupt…forgive us.
I’m a Pimp…….envy me.
A 45 year old pitcher is going to be paid 152,000 bucks a day…..he is worth it…just don’t ask us about steroids..
Now I am pretty progressive, but I wonder how we can close the wounds of a population of American’s who seem to content with promoting tendencies that eat away at our mutual integrity.
I am going to the mattresses on this issue. The foundation of a putrid individual character has got to go beyond economics, technology, and education. I say this because a person with only one of the three elements can still be civil. Even yet, a person without any of them could succeed in being an exemplary human being.
I also wonder if the idea that things have gotten worse is a myth. I see awful behavior from children and adults all day. I partake in this mess myself. But have things always been bad, and we just feign indignation? Have you read Shakespeare?
All I know, it that it is not video games, the Ebola virus, Rap or metal. It is time to explore this issue in reality. This time folks...its bigger then hip hop.
What we do in life, echoes an eternity....

The Prez has become The King
This blog will be devoted to the major developments in the American culture and it's impact on the progression of all mankind. Like my past blogs, I will try and cover a few of key topics of interest, but I will be focusing on Music, Films, and Sports. I will have links to political sites and articles written by people more in tune with Washington then me.
To the right are links of interest. They will often discuss things I will not here.
"The Greatest Things Ever" will be a list of the things I am enjoying at the moment.
The Videos will often be music or sports clips of incredible value to humanity.
The articles links will offer a variety of content. It will use "American Culture" to surf the web for topical news stories. I have no control over which ones are selected.
The basic mantra for this blog is as follows:
If you want to start a revolution, try to get hired by CNN first!
