Annie Oakley's Drinking Again

Maybe this explains Hillary's bizarre, puzzling George Wallace like campaign behavior. She is all boozed up on the sauce.

The best repercussions of the Clintons' losing their power stranglehold on the Democratic party will be that clown consultants like Terry McAuliffe are no longer relevant in our political discourse.

The GOP loves McAuliffe because he lined his pockets while gutting the DNC and losing elections as head of the party.

HOORAY for NEW BLOOD!

Here is what will happen in the Democratic Indiana/North Carolina primaries today. I have seen this before somewhere, hmmmm.

Wake Me When it is over because I do not think I can spend another election evening watching those blowhards on cable news. It is hard enough consuming Nats/Orioles games on a nightly basis.

"Please Pour Burgundy Another Scotch, Hurry!"

I do not know if pop culture is ready for more antics of the San Diego's Channel 4 News team but Anchorman 2 appears to be a reality.

From an interview Anchorman director Adam Mckay:

Adam McKay: I'm looking to do another movie, I might do this other movie called Channel 3 Billion which is kind of this science fiction/Brazil type comedy.

Then after that, Will and I are like let's do Anchorman 2�so you're talking like 2 years maybe we'll do it. But we're going to do it, for sure.

Collider: That's like 100%?

Adam McKay: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're dying to do it. Unless we can't get the cast together, which is always kind of a tricky thing. But, I think, with that cast we're all friends, so yeah, we want to do it.

With so many iconic Anchorman one liners to chose from, which one do you roll with here now? This must be the feeling Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden has when salivating over QBs or Matt Leinart when he lines up coeds at Club "fill in the blank."

Milk 2 was a GREAT CHOICE! Entiendo español, Más whisky escocés en mi vientre Por favor!


Props to my boy Joe for the tip.

Like most men, I am downright terrified of woman body builders. They possibly have bigger balls than me and would have me screaming "Uncle" in 2.2 seconds.

On the other hand, these fitness chicks are less intimidating and are much more appealing to the eyes. Check out the videos of the 2007 Miss Model Universe, Nicole Costa.

Death at the Derby

I watched Big Brown dominate the Kentucky Derby on Saturday and right afterwards I quipped about how the media's annual triple crown hype machine was now officially underway.

This storyline took a backseat as the place horse, Eight Belles, immediately was down on the track.

Initially, NBC reporters' were optimistic about the fillies injury and thought it could be a heart problem. The vets stoic response to Eight Belles' condition shocked me and I know fired up PETA's press operation.



WOW. The range of emotion from your horse being second place in the derby to death is whirlwind crazy.

Horses that get shocked and drugged piss me off more than having to make the difficult decision to put a horse down.

I grew up going to a track in Nebraska so I love horse racing. My mom worked part time there, resulting in me knowing how to exacta box horses before I learned the degrees of a right angle.

I hate crooked trainers/jockeys as well. (The CEO of the Nebraska track wrote my high journalism teacher a letter after I ripped the track in a high school newspaper column for being rigged.)

My most memorable story at my hometown horse track was getting into a screaming match with a jockey after I witnessed him during the homestretch, pull up the reins up on a heavily favored horse(1 to 2) he was riding to just finish 4th, out of the money and ruining all of my trifecta box bets.

I confronted the jockey while he was walking back to the paddocks and asked him how much he received by tanking.

The jockey responded to my criticism rather harshly, telling me that I needed to back to school. (I was a High School senior at the time, wisely enjoying my afternoons after class at the track. My favorite line to my friends was telling them that I was out for a spring sport, the horse track.)

Being a wise ass/know it all crude teenager, I repeatedly called him a crook and a midget. I thought about jacking the little hobbit but his eye level was below the 5 foot fence and I could not reach him.

My meat head friends did little to dose the altercation's flames and only encouraged my testosterone rage. Security eventually kicked me out and I never bet on a horse that swindler rode on again. Today, I hope he is struggling from his likely eating disorder and meth addiction.

True Story.

I apologize for the ramblings but hey, it is Monday and I thought it was much more entertaining of a story than discussing the ethical morality of horse racing.

In the upcoming weeks, the media and soap box pundits will provide ample coverage of that sanctimonious angle.

The Empire Strikes Barack

This Star Wars video is the best summary of the past month in the Democratic Presidential Primary race. Please send it on to everyone.




Here is the best perspective that I have seen about the recent media's obsession of Rev. Wright from a journalist on TV. Paraphrasing:

There is no guilt by association. Wright has one set of views, Obama has another set of views. If the views match up, then it's fair game. But Obama's been in politics since the mid-90s.

He has a record in the State Senate in Illinois. He has a record in the US Senate. He's laid out an agenda as a presidential candidate. Where do his views match up with Jeremiah Wright's? And why as journalists are we confusing the two?

It seems to me totally unfair that this guy is getting smeared with the views of someone just because he's his former pastor.

Here is a great take about the double standard placed upon crazy black church leaders compared to nut job white ones.

One Down, Two to Go

If anyone in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington DC heard 2 loud screams shortly after 8:30pm est last night, it was not a case of domestic abuse but just me yelling as the result of these 2 plays.





The odds are still long for the Wizards to win the series but all of the pressure is now on Lebron James to close them out. The Wiz are supposed to lose to the King.

I feel more karma payback for the Jay Z dis song upcoming.

Darius Songalia did not punch Lebron either even though on TNT's angle it appears that way. I was watching the local DC Comcast TV and they had another camera angle, which it clearly shows Lebron's arm was hooked inside Darius' arm.

Lebron pulled his arm out, causing Darius's hand to fly towards him. I hope the NBA sees the real angle and does not rely solely on TNT's shot for future punishment.

Caron Butler reminded everyone last night he is an all star and good to see that he finally realized that Wally Szczerbiak is trying to check him in this series.
A final word from Butler, who has not participated in the goofy stuff throughout this series and was a little ticked off by it:

"Don't judge this team by comments," he said. "LeBron made a statement: 'these guys are talkers' but unless you hear something from the captains, which would be myself and Antawn, don't label that as the team. I'm the voice of this team and Antawn is the spiritual and emotional leader so unless you hear it from one of us, keep it moving."

The Future of Sports Journalism is DUMB and Unrecoverable

Check out this clever video of Buzz Blowhardinger's HBO rants and be sure to watch the ending.



I am trying not to beat this Will Leitch/Buzz Bissinger story into the ground because there are plenty of more intelligent writers who post on sports "blog" type sites for a real pay check that are much more eloquent than me on this topic.

While I am offended by his narcissistic John McCain like views of our world/future, it does not strike a deep chord in me because it is not my livelihood.

Plus, it is hard to reason or convince a crazy ranting old man. Maybe Will should have asked him for some of his Prozac.

I just find the whole thing shocking and amusing but not in a good or bad way. I have no idea if that makes any sense.

Taking Dickinger's advice, I will refrain from writing any more on this blog until I finish the W.C. Heinz columns that I am going to read tonight on microfilm at the city library.

Screw watching the Wizards elimination game as my whole existence as a sports "writer" depends on ingesting Heinz's literary wisdom.

I hear Horse Racing and Boxing are popular.

Leitch Entered the Bissinger Saw

(VIDEO DOWN BELOW)
To be honest to my readers, I met Deadspin's founder Will Leitch a few months ago on his book tour. He was insightful, funny, and overall, a very cool guy. We shared some beers and heaters. I read Deadspin but not faithfully everyday.

I just finished watching this HBO Bob Costas show on Sports Media where Leitch was on a panel with Browns WR Braylon Edwards and writer Buzz Bissinger, who penned the literary sports classic novel, "Friday Night Lights."

Costas starts off with a question to Leitch about the negative tone of sports blogs. Leitch refutes that there is nothing different on sports blogs that humans do not spout through spoken word in their normal daily lives.

Buzz begins the panel discourse with the following pompous comment toward Leitch that says all you need to know about Bissinger and his true intentions for appearing on this show.

"I want to interject that I think you are full of shit."

How do you have a reasonable discussion when a man starts the conversation with this low barb?

Bissinger continued to use profanity towards Will on several occasions and spewed the same old tired characterizations of all sports bloggers, which that they are idiots who can not write.

Leitch rose above Bissinger's bait of petty personal attacks and articulated his points quite well. Leitch is pretty in tuned to the role of sports blogs and fans. Deadspin's popularity and success is example enough.

Plus, Will correctly mentions that running a blog is hard Fn work and some bloggers (ME) do it as a hobby.

Costas and Bissinger seemed bizarrely confused as to the difference between the words of commenters and an author of a blog post.

Later, Costas raved about the need for the sports journalism profession and listed Woodward and Bernstein as an example. This analogy is just laughable in written word as it was on first Television consumption.

Bissinger closed the show by calling Leitch, "Jimmy Olson on percocet," and blamed his blog for the future dumbing down of America.

Yeah, it was a jaw dropping segment. Bissinger looked like a cranky old man with a serious axe to grind.

I could get all worked up at Bissinger and respond to his classless attacks on sports bloggers, however, why bother?

If people do not like Mac G's World, they can stop reading or click on somewhere else. It is that simple. "Blowhardinger" seems to miss this crucial point and is too busy having a corollary ("40 YEARS in this Business!") over lame dick jokes by commenters while hypocritically cussing up a storm himself on live TV.

I thought Andy Rooney was the face of the out of date, crusty media white man in media but Buzz Dickinger now has that notorious smug crown.

Gotta jam as it is time to take the NBC show "Friday Night Light's" off my NetFlix que.

Once I can locate some video, I will post it.

Blowhardinger fallout is slowing coming in and predictably, bloggers see the same senile old man.

Rockin in the ATL

It was the Joe and Josh show last night in the ATL as the Hawks upset the Boston Celtics to tie their series up at two games a piece.

Phillips Arena was rockin all night and there was no bigger burst of noise than after this sik crossover move/make by Joe Johnson.



Celts Forward Leon Powe had to check his ankles to see if they were broken.



I should send this picture to Bill Simmons because I am sure he screamed at his TV repeatedly last night wondering why Doc did not double team Joe Johnson.



Oh, Did anyone else see the blond sitting at the scores table in a green shirt with the nice rack? Every time the camera flashed to Doc Rivers, I could see her great cleavage line directly behind Doc. I pick up on these essential details as I am skillful/dirty like that.

Thanks TNT and overall, there was some great eye candy talent in the crowd last night.

F You Live Nation, May I Have Another?

If you have ever endured an economics class, you definitely remember the supply and demand charts.

Click on this picture to see first a hand example of monopolist price gouging and exploitation of demand.


This is not misprint as it was $11 for a 24 oz can of domestic brew and $12 for an import! WTF!

I enountered this sign upon entry to the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek. I was in Raleigh,NC over the weekend trip to see 2 killer Widespread Panic shows. (More on the epic performances later)

It is burdensome enough to endure outrageous concert ticket prices(200 bucks for 4 tickets) where a large portion of your expenses go to convenience fees(60 bucks) which make little sense, then the Corporate behemoth follows it up with these outrageous beer prices.

Where do I grab my ankles? I felt like the poor Hazara boy in the movie/book Kite Runner.

To be fair, for 9 bones you were able to score a 20 oz domestic draft. STEAL, I tell ya.

People will complain about gas prices until we die or people stop driving everywhere and our governments invest in more/better mass transit systems, but double digits for a beer should cause riots.

I officially want to say F the man or woman who came up with these ahole prices in a Live Nation corporate boardroom. I understand the leverage a music venue has on beer prices but Live Nation's OPEC like behavior shows little regard toward its customers. SO F U.

I am assuming Live Nation is making money off these prices by their $9-10.50 a beer profit margins and I do have a choice of not going to see my favorite band play in a sweet arena but I can still bitch about it.

I did not want to enable such a cruel business policy so I painstakingly refrained from buying any beer on Saturday night.

I retaliated in the only way a consumer can in our capitalistic society as I do have some principles whereas obviously Live Nation's reside in corporate greed over their consumer's full concert enjoyment.

I know the Corp Man does not care but F YOU, Live Nation.

I hope your stock price tanks because your overall business model is a shitty one.

Something is wrong in America when it is cheaper to do drugs than get drunk.

"Please, pass the Crack Pipe Pookie?I have a tall boy can up my ass and Live Nation's suds are too expensive to cure the pain."

PS. Do not worry about my sobriety as we snuck a flask in.

Come Get Some

on EaI apologize for the semi hiatus but responsibilities at my paying gig have not allowed me to continue my low brow attempts at humor. I can not rail too much on the man because I actually enjoy my job and I compensated well enough to support my vices.

I just hate spending my time on earth working.

What do Bob Woodward, Bill Simmons, David Broder, Black Eyed Peas, and Thomas Friedman have in common? At one time in my life I admired all these professionals immensely and even emulated their cultural contributions. Different events propelled me to lose complete respect for each and every one of them.

Before the explosion of blogs, I read Friedman's New York Times column to get insight on Foreign affairs. His endorsement and continual promotion of the disastrous Iraq invasion raised serious doubts on his so called expertise.

His mantra of "six more months will be critical in Iraq" became so tiresome and repetitive that is was astutely entered into online vocabulary lexicon by blogger Atrios as a "Friedman Unit" or (F.U.)

Like my aforementioned ex-favorites, I completely shut him out of my political consumption.

I can not lie but I immediately smirked after reading this headline today: "Thomas Friedman Gets a Pie in the Face During a Speech at Brown."

Friedman's pie assault was not due to his dangerous and incorrect assessment of invading a sovereign nation that did not attack America, which gave credibility to Dick Cheney's pro war Neo con plans but because some people do not like his views on the environment. HUH?

It is amusing to think some college students, my bad, the "Greenwash Guerrillas," actually believe a columnist with zero credibility in the progressive world has any sort of influence in US environmental policy.

I will never condone this type of classless behavior as there are much more effective ways to participate in civil protest or advocate for your social cause.

Of course I still wanted to see and pictures of the pie tossing.



Are you sure these Greenwash Pie Guerillas were Brown students and not starting Iowa QB Jake "Wild Thing" Christensen?
