Hey, when I say Trojan what immediately comes to mind?  So what’s up with this crap?

The University of Southern California Trojans have prevailed in a trademark suit in which the University of South Carolina Fighting Gamecocks sought to use the letters “SC” on baseball team clothing.

Apparently winning wasn’t enough for the Trojans’ attorney, who took the opportunity to talk trash:

“[Edelman] also suggested that the letters were more deservedly linked to the Trojans’ warrior image than to “a goofy little chicken.”

“I think they wanted to move away from the gamecock logo,” Edelman said of the school in the South. “Something that is totally understandable.”

Warrior image my ass.  Cheap ass condoms that are unworthy to sheath a genuine ‘Cock from South Carolina…
You know what though, that west coast school has Lane Kiffin now and I suppose that’s punishment enough.

And by the way, the University of South Carolina was founded in 1801, 49 years before California achieved statehood.  So, we all know who we mean when we say THE USC.

I’m sure many Obama voters share the sentiments expressed in this comment regarding the Scott Brown Senate victory:

I’m so happy voters are starting to show some sense. I voted for Obama because I was disgusted with the arrogance of Bush-Cheney, and have long hoped for a change in the way politics is played out in Washington. Yes, I was duped. I voted for a more slickly packaged product of the same old Chicago machine. Obama has cynically broken all his promises, thinking his coalition of bleeding hearts, border jumpers, reverse-racists and crooked politicians could sustain the illusions of his agenda. Perhaps we will yet see some change; if not, then a one-term presidency seems likely.  

…and I’m not going to take this anymore.”

The original middle aged angry white guy.

I posted yesterday about the close race for the Kennedy Senate seat in Massachusetts between Martha Coakley and her Republican opponent Scott Brown.

Well, the gloves have really come off now.  In a bold move Coakley accused Brown supporter Curt Schilling of being a “Yankees fan“.  I’m not sure there is any lower blow than that in a state renowned for it’s crazed Red Sox fans.  And Schilling is not taking the insult lying down:

Mr. Schilling, who helped Senator John McCain win the New Hampshire primary in 2008 by campaigning with him there, and who has been supporting Mr. Brown, fired back on his own blog. “I’ve been called a lot of things,’’ he wrote, “but never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could….”

When will the politics of personal destruction end?   I mean, Schilling is the man who put the “red” in Red Sox:

Frankly, I don’t think Coakley’s low blow even dignifies a response from Schilling.  But I’ll suggest one anyway:

“Hey Coakley! You can kiss my Red Sox ass!”

Well, speaking as a “middle aged angry white man” I am truly thankful that these folks are not my friends.

Believe it or not, I’ve been keeping an eye on the Senate race in Massachusetts (did I spell that right?*).  In what should have been a slam dunk for the dems to replace Ted Kennedy with one of their own, Republican Scott Brown is giving Martha Coakley a very competitive race**.   In fact, in the bluest of the blue states, he is leading in several polls.  Will he win on Tuesday?  Maybe, maybe not.  But the fact that the race is even in question shows that more and more voters have had just about enough of the crap being peddled in Washington.

So, just what kind of person is this Coakley?  Well, the Wall Street Journal has a fascinating story about her role in one of the most infamous prosecutions in American history.   That she still defends her actions today reveals much about her character (or lack thereof).  Hmmm, maybe that makes her well-suited to replace the Senator from Chappaquiddick.

*Coakley  misspelled “Massachusetts” in one of her campaign ads.

** As Scott Brown famously stated during a campaign debate “With all due respect, it’s not the Kennedy’s seat and it’s not the Democrats’ seat, it’s the people’s seat.”

I’m getting plenty sick and tired of the blatant racism recently on display back in the land of the free and home of the brave.  Especially from angry white men.

I mean, only a racist would say this about our President:

“A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”

And of course, who would have thought that such words as these would be uttered in the enlightened 21st century:

calling Obama — a “light-skinned” African American “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one” 

And then what kind of person would think it appropriate to post picture like this on the internet:

You know, someone needs to call out these Tea Party bigots once and for all.

Huh?  What’s that?  Bill Clinton? Harry Reid?  A dem operative from Colorado?

Oh, never mind then.  Nothing to see here, move along.

(for those who are sarcasm challenged, no I don’t think the folks mentioned above are racist.  But lord knows the shitstorm we would see if anyone making the same statements happened to be Republican.  I’ve been called racist here for merely disagreeing with the policies of The One.  And you know, I’d just say look at that log in your eye before casting stones.  And yes, that was an intentional mix of Biblical metaphors.)

And now a public service announcement from our friends at the TSA.

And in other news there is this:

They are the first line of defense in airport security but two troubling incidents involving TSA agents at LAX are raising concerns.

A TSA agent was arrested on January 3rd in Terminal One at LAX, a source told NBCLA. He had just gotten off duty and was behaving erratically, saying, “I am god, I’m in charge.”

Meanwhile, a TSA Internal Affairs investigation turned up evidence of LAX TSA agents using drugs at an after-hours party.

TSA officials say a videotape of the party was of poor quality and the employees were not in uniform, but 4 employees were tentatively identified.

Well.  Just wait until they are unionized.

Suggested TSA slogan: Airport security–something we Totally Suck At.

Hmm, and this is the government that wants to run health care.

Wake me when the nightmare is over.
