  • I was disappointed that Kansas State and Iowa State did not make the list of America’s 25 Douchiest Colleges. I have spent many of miserable nights attempting to party in both of those manure laced lame excuses for college towns. This list is blatant example of page view whoring because you have to click through each 25 individual pages. Putting the George W Bush Administration's farm system of loyal Bushies, otherwise known as Bob Jones University, at number 6 made up for their whoring. Nextround.net

  • The 1985 Iowa Hawkeyes were one of the definitive sports teams of my adolescence and their Rose Bowl team was led by Heisman runner up QB Chuck Long. It is lousy that the football program has not retired Long's number 16. Possibly their football/athletic department are too busy covering up players' sexual assaults and shaking down fans for gobs of money to watch their Tecmo Bowl vanilla offense every fall. One historic upset victory over Penn State and the best Hawkeye offensive season ever by Shonn Greene in 2008 does not give me amnesia of what happened to this poor young female.  Black Heart Gold Pants

I apologize deeply to my loyal readership for my lack of posts over the past several months. I am tackling some major personal issues that have left me with a serious case of bloggers block.

In June, my loyal pet of 10 years became tragically ill and I had to put him down after months of futilely (And Expensively!) searching for the cause of his health complications. Then the following month, my beloved fiancĂ© Miss So Belle abandoned me to move far away and live with her parents in an attempt to chase some other life without me. 

To rub in the salt deep, my favorite sports player of all time, Brett Favre, decided to spit in the face of my 16 years of fan loyalty to play for the hated enemy, Viqueens. 

I never want to bore anyone with the mundane details of my life but I felt the need to address my sucky blogging. I have seriously contemplated just erasing my whole Mac G online presence from the series of tubes and maybe someday I will just say fuk it all.

My old man asked me recently how many fantasy football teams that I planned on having this year and my answer of 5 stirred a stern response from him. He lectured me that I should focus my energies on other productive things and I countered that I need the squads to deal with life’s shitty poker hands.

So for now, I will continue to use this blog as a creative outlet and I hope in the meantime continue to entertain a few peeps with my rants, humorous vids/pix and of course, mad poon.

Don Chavez Creams Media in Erin Andrews Peephole Video Drama

For those of you looking for the best coverage of the Erin Andrews Peephole saga on the series of tubes, it should come to no surprise that my man Donnie C is all over the story and creaming the mainstream outlets.


Don Chavez blasts through the several implausible media narratives and exposes that ESPN was the initial one that confirmed the grainy video was actually Erin Andrews. Don Chavez is even trying to track down the ass wipe perv that loaded the vid on the internet.
I highly recommend bookmarking donchavez.com or subscribing to his RSS because it is the dog days of sports and this story is not going away for awhile.

Donnie C has a long illustrious list of poon sleuthing web achievements so he is well immersed in pounding the internet for scoops. The EA story is in good hands and I am sure DC will be in full throttle mode until he tracks the peeping perv and/or the crime scene hotie room down.

Oh DC, you are welcome for my full Mac G slobbering endorsement of your work.

Due to the current lack of quality journalism from major networks, it was fitting that Walter Cronkite's death came on the heels of today's big time journalists looking like complete groveling asses in the Mark Sanford scandal. Jon Stewart can not wait to elaborate further.

Turmoil for Life


DC Councilman Marion Barry, aka the Mayor for Life, is embroiled in another local scandal after his July 4th arrest for stalking his former girlfriend and part time staffer, Donna Watts-Brighthaupt.

She refuted the charges police made on Barry with this bizarre statement. "He does not stalk," she says. "He does what I allow him to do."

Details emerged later that Watts-Brighthaupt had been paid at least $20,000 of DC money by Barry for consulting services. Barry responded to the arrest by trashing her in the press and saying that he had been betrayed.

The plot thickened when the Washington City Paper obtained audio recordings of conversations and messages that Barry made to and with Watts-Brighthaupt.

There is too much juice involved so I highly recommend reading the details in article by City Paper's DC columnist Loose Lips

The US attorney's office decided to drop the stalking charges but questions remain of the city money paid to Watts-Brighthaupt.

My favorite part on the tapes is from clip 10, of Watts-Brighthaupt talking to Barry and part of her quote inspired this week's City Paper cover that I featured above.(I picked up 3 copies of this collector's edition already.)

Watts-Brighthaupt: All I’m trying to saying is I forgive. You put me out in Denver cause I wouldn’t suck your dick. You put me out in Denver! You made me have to fuck your ass up in the middle of a Las Vegas casino...my shoes off. We were like fuckin’ Tina and Ike Turner. And I forgive. Alright you just wastin my damn time?...I can’t believe this….you always… you don’t think about other people’s time. You’re inconsiderate…

The King of Pop, Dead at 50


I have already signed 2 public Michael Jackson condolence poster cards and U St was bumping MJ's music last night so the least I could do was post a video by the King of Pop.

My favorite song is Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough.

The news of his death put a kiddie strangle hold (too much/too soon?) on Twitter as any words related to the passing were every top 10 trending topic.

Here is the card rolling around the U St area bar Marvin's that I inked the following respect to Jacko.


"God Bless the King of Pop, Mac G"
