My Sick Mind

One thing I really enjoy is good hypocrisy . Recently, the folks at Yahoo Sports ran a story detailing some indescretions by former University of Southern California running back Reggie Bush, now a player for the NFL's New Orleans Saints. The story went into some detail about Reggie allegedly (there's that word again) accepting gifts from agents. The NCAA, in its infinite wisdom, forbids athletes from accepting gifts of cash or material from anyone, lest their golden image be tarnished. The story went like this: New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush insisted Friday he and his family have done nothing wrong, responding to allegations that they accepted gifts, money and other benefits worth more than $100,000 from two marketing agents during his career at Southern California. "I'm not worried about any of these allegations or anything like that, because I know what the truth is, like I said from day one," Bush said after a Saints practice. "Once the smok...

Here's a photo of the earth taken from space. It's a familar location, and if you've been there, I'm sure you were impressed. Take a guess in the comments section and check back to see if you're right.

The National Football League is moving closer to world domination every day. Forget about the crisis in the Middle East and the threat of terrorism, the real threat to our way of life is coming from the NFL. The top-rated TV show last week was Sunday night's Manning vs. Manning match-up on NBC, with 15,730,000 viewers nationwide. Seven of the top 20 programs last week were NFL games or pre-games. There is an entire network devoted to the games, called appropriately, the NFL Network . Hey, nobody said they were creative geniuses, just bent on world domination. There are games on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Thursday. This Thanksgiving there are 3 games on, instead of the usual 2, because you can't have a holiday without 24-hour football. Tuesday at 10am, the Philadelphia Eagles drove another nail into my cynical coffin. They placed on sale an additional 1,500 seats for each home game. Eagles games are sold-out, and season tickets are harder to come by than Elton John's girl...

Speaking of guys who need a shoe piece... PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida - A 77-year-old local man who reportedly admitted looking up women's skirts for 13 years, was arrested Monday in connection with an incident last month at a Wal-Mart SuperCenter in St. Lucie West. You have to watch out for those "local men". I don't approve of releasing his name, since he "reportedly" looked up their skirts, so in the interest of fairness, and the assumption that one is innocent until proven guilty... He told investigators that he had been looking up women's skirts without their knowledge for about 13 years. He said he used a mirror from the stores to stare up their skirts. It seems as though our man doesn't hold up well under questioning. As his ersatz lawyer (I'm an accounting grad, but WTF) I would have advised him to keep his pie hole shut. Cop to the Wal-Mart incident, pay your fine and move on. Police learned of [the assailant] after a woman found him...

13 Little Things That Aggravate Me 1. SUVs and big 4WD trucks that tap their brakes going over railroad tracks. What's the point of having these house-sized vehicles if they can't go over a little bump? 2. SUVs and big 4WD trucks . 3. Pitchers that can't bunt . They have nothing else to during their 4 days off. Why not learn to handle a bat? 4. Signed golf balls . I don't understand the signed golf ball. It's too small and bumpy. It seems like they're forcing the whole "signed ball" concept that works well with baseball and football. A little odd. 5. Size "XL" thongs . Please, don't encourage these people. They can't see what we can. 6. Gas Station Attendants. My fuel goes in on the passenger's side, and the attendants are so lazy that they won't come over to my window to serve me. Rather, they make me put down the right-side window and order across the car. A good shoe piece would straighten them out. 7. Lance Armstrong...

PARIS (AFP) - For three generations, schoolchildren struggling to remember the planets of the solar system have used a mnemonic, with the first letter of each word in a sentence reminding them of the order from Mercury, the closest to the Sun, to Pluto, the farthest. But the age-old learning technique has been thrown for a loop by the decision last week of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the paramount authority on astronomy, to expel Pluto from the list. The eight planets now officially recognized by the IAU are M ercury, V enus, E arth, M ars, J upiter, S aturn, U ranus and N eptune. Here are some I made up. It's fun ... really .

SYDNEY , Australia - At least 10 stingrays have been killed since "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was fatally injured by one of the fish, an official said Tuesday, prompting a spokesman for the late TV star's animal charity to urge people not take revenge on the animals. Two were discovered Tuesday with their tails lopped off, state fisheries department official Wayne Sumpton said. Watch your ass, crocodile ... It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Uggghh ... revenge on the animals? Silly humans. Use your rage for good, not evil. Fox News headquarters is at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in New York. Cut off Bill O'Reilly's tail. I'm pretty sure he has one. But wait ... the fish will have their revenge: MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida diver shot a large grouper with a spear gun then apparently drowned when the fish sped into a hole, entangling the man in the line attached to the spear, investigators said Monday. The 42-year-old man, whose n...

We're big on anniversaries, especially the first, and multiples of 5. So much so, that there's even a name for it. Yesterday was a quinquennial, and it was a big one at that. I'm not entirely sure what makes 1, 5 and 10 bigger than 2, 6 and 11 - they just are - and sometimes you just have to let things be what they are, no matter how odd. That applies to people, too. You'd think that the good ones like weddings and birthdays would be important every year, and that the horrible ones like devistation and despair would be less so. Maybe there's some psychology to it, or maybe we just like the numbers. I'm not sure how it got to be called 9-11 , and not by a name, other than maybe CNN or some media outlet decided to shorten it for TV. It has a marketable ring, as if we needed to market it at all. Generally, my answers to questions like that are "TV" or "money", and they are usually correct. We don't call Pearl Harbor 12-7 or the Kennedy ass...

2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11. On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. Each person will pay tribute to a single victim. We will honor them by remembering their lives, and not by remembering their murderers. James Matthew Patrick Age 30 Place killed: World Trade Center Resident of Norwalk, Connecticut Patrick, a bond broker with Cantor Fitzgerald on the upper floors of One World Trade Center, was on the phone with a client when the hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 hit the building. The client, who was not identified, called the family to relay Patrick's final phone conversation. "He apparently simply interrupted the client and said he had to leave because the building was being evacuated because a plane had hit,'' his father-in-law, Terry Buckmiller said. Patrick's wife, Tera Lynn, a tutor at a middle school in Naugatuck, was expecting their first child, a boy, four weeks after the atta...
