Vote Obama Nov. 4th!

Well, that’s the message I found here at.. http://nicepickcowher.com This cat makes some valid points and anyone living in this city long enough realizes that if you can’t see the metaphor for life through the eyes of a Steelers fan, you haven’t been paying attention. So he relates racism as it pertains to the Steelers. I’m still not quite sure from this article if he’ll be voting Obama or not though but he seems to make some good statements.

NicePickCowher.com didn’t seem to mention the better side of Pittsburgh’s racism as it pertains to sports, the Rooney Rule. Meh, whatever. Ignorance and racism go hand in hand. Maybe if the die hard, Kordell hatin’, ter’ble tahl wavin’ gave the sport of hockey a chance, they’d learn a little more class.

And I know this has nothing to do with Mr. Friday Afternoon… but I’m bored. He did evoke Mark’s name and it came up on my Google alert. Whateve.

And now for my sidebar comments… Why are football players tested for marijuana? Is it considered performatnce enhancing or just that it’s an illegal substance. I’m not sure I understand how it would effect playing football. Meh, either way, Plax was coming to town and prolly needed to hook up while he was here. or not.

Student Rush Tonight… if only they had this when I was a student.

Firemen and EMS workers love the new Mark Madden show on the X. Except the first guy who claims Mark’s retarded. Clearly the dude flaming mark on a Firemen message board is the real Super Genius.

Damn, I really must be naive but there is a friggin blog out there for everything. And to think I thought Sid’s Ankle having his own blog was crazy last season…

Caps fan Jimmy Jazz, if that is your real name, had this to say…

“Each of those hits was clean. In fact, the dirtiest hit of the night was Malkin’s board on Alex Semin with his stick to the back of his neck, to boot. Give it a few days, Madden. It’ll wear off.”

I’ll skip the fact that this, by definition, is also a gay message board populated with douches. Let’s ignore that…

Damn, I stumbled upon this site full of flaming yinzer Super Genius haters. Douches Douches and still more Douches. And you thought this town had it’s share of douches.

And furthermore, who are these people that actually comment on all these articles? All hiding behind the anonymity of the Intranets and the World Wide Webs. Now comment on this. Urg.
