Let’s face it, we all know that Phillies fans are assholes.  Case in point is the douchebag who threw up on a 11 year old girl.  Yeah, it takes a big man (literally) to shove two fingers down his throat to induce puking so he can douse an entire family with burrito, hot dog and stomach juices.  Bravo!

However, one comes to pause when a 17 year old Phillies fan gets tasered for running onto the field during the 8th inning of a game.  Is it because his fellow douchebag comrades in arms have ruined base running for the rest of the fans?  Probably.  Or is it quite possible that people from Philly are assholes when they get together in large groups?  Yeah, definitely.

When stadiums have to put a jail in them in order to contain “fans”, that’s when you know your fanbase are assholes.  So what is it about Philly that makes seemingly normal people turn into frothing at the mouth dipshits when they get together?  Now I know some people are pissing and moaning about the use of excessive force on what they construe as an innocent act of joy.  What they forget is that the kid is a Phillies fan.

Now I’m not a bleeding heart Mets fan.  Quite the contrary.  I’m a die hard Yankees fan (even when they sucked in the 80s and early 90s).  I live close enough to Philly that it isn’t much of a trip to get there (about a half a tank of gas).  So I have experienced the douchebaggery in person.  Last year I went to a Social Distortion show, and a normally laid back Mike Ness actually had to tell people in the crowd to knock it off.

We all know that they have a long history of dickatude.  There was a beating death of a fan in a parking lot, there was the chick who tried to trade sex for World Series tickets, and let’s not forget the Peter Griffin look alike that I mentioned earlier.

No one really knows why people from Philly act the way they do when they get together.  However, I hope for the kid who ran out on the field that he took a moment while laying in a pool of his own piss that maybe, just maybe, he shouldn’t act like a Phillies fan.

You stay classy, Philadelphia.

Desperate much?  The spokesman for Oxycotin, Rush Limbaugh, put his potato of a foot in his mouth yet again.  You would think that after a catastrophe such as the oil rig explosion in the Gulf Coast that homeboy would take a couple of days off before spewing his regular diarrhea of the mouth diatribe on his unthinking dittoheads.  Nope!

Here’s the douchebag’s theory on the explosion:

I want to get back to the timing of the blowing up, the explosion out there in the Gulf of Mexico of this oil rig. Since they’re sending SWAT teams down there now this changes the whole perspective of this. Now, lest we forget, ladies and gentlemen, the carbon tax bill, cap and trade that was scheduled to be announced on Earth Day. I remember that. And then it was postponed for a couple of days later after Earth Day, and then of course immigration has now moved in front of it.

But this bill, the cap-and-trade bill, was strongly criticized by hardcore environmentalist wackos because it supposedly allowed more offshore drilling and nuclear plants, nuclear plant investment. So, since they’re sending SWAT teams down there, folks, since they’re sending SWAT teams to inspect the other rigs, what better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig? I’m just noting the timing here.

He also stated that a cleanup effort would be unnecessary.

You do survive these things. I’m not advocating don’t care about it hitting the shore or coast and whatever you can do to keep it out of there is fine and dandy, but the ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and was left out there,” Limbaugh said. “It’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is.

I wonder how the people in Lousiana feel about these statements?  Oh, hell, why not ask his bottom bitch from Alaska and former governor, Sarah Palin, how she might feel about this?  Nevermind, she’s too busy shouting “drill, baby, drill.”

Now that I think of it, doesn’t Sarah Palin remind you of the chick on Intervention who was huffing the dust remover stuff?  Oh I kid the Republicans.

Meanwhile, President Obama has stated that “a massive and potentially unprecedented environmental disaster,” and “BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying the bill.”

No matter what side of the political fence you fall on, one thing is clear: we need to get off our dependence of oil in all forms.  The science is there, the problem is we let politics and lobbyists get in the way of real work.  Our best interest as a nation for both environmental and national security would be to find other sources of energy now.



Come on, don’t act like you didn’t know.

Don’t act like Ricky Martin coming out of the closet on his website today was any news or surprise. So it turns out Ricky was living La Vida Fabulosa this whole time and there’s nothing wrong with it. I guess it’s good he officially came out (even though everyone including Barbara Walters knew) but I can’t stand when celebrities act like they’re revealing this great secret. To me, this ranks in the top “captain obvious coming out announcements of recent memory” list.

1. Clay Aiken- Yep, saw this one coming ten miles away

2. Adam Lambert- Would have been first, but flamboyance wasn’t enough to automatically stamp him as gay. I mean look at David Bowie, he’s not gay, right…right??

3. Lance Bass- Oh Lance, he was so naive. With that big silly grin someone probably had to explain to him what gay was.

4. Ellen Degeneres- I could see where there was some wiggle room here, but that haircut gave it away

5. Ricky Martin- Thanks to you Ricky we straight guys get to hear women complain about “how all the good ones are gay” for another month.

This guy is all sorts of creepy!
