Bills Season Over, JP Losman Still a Loser

JP Losman more than hinted during the regular season that he was a whiny brat who didn’t appreciate being benched, even though he was terrible to look at (both with and without his helmet, yikes!). Well now that the season is over, he’s brought the QB drama to a whole new level. He desires to be traded. You know what’s funny JP, I bet most of Buffalo feels the same way!

Losman’s agent, Gary Wichard says there is little chance Losman will stay with this team after next season if a trade doesn’t happen, stating, “That ship has sailed, my friend. Hopefully, they do something this year. And if not, we’ll just walk away after next year.” Well, you’d better hope a trade happens now you dimwit, what makes you think your offensive line will protect you now? They’ll be twisting your knee themselves!

Losman is also whining via his agent that he didn’t want to say anything during the regular season to upset the team (LIE! he totally whined to the media), and that his teammates never backed him as their quarterback. Do you have any idea why JP? Let’s go over some stats shall we? Since joining the team in 2004 you’ve thrown 31 touchdowns, which goes nicely with those 29 interceptions. In 37 games you’ve fumbled 26 times. Dismal. Trent Edwards can get away with things like this, he’s a rookie. You are not, you’re just terrible. Perhaps you can cry on Rex Grossman’s shoulder, he’s the only quarterback worse than you.

Lesson of the day kids: If you are TERRIBLE at your job and get demoted, don’t make a public fuss about how upset you are about being demoted. Have some dignity, don’t be lame.

Brian Billick…Really? (pt. 3)

Dear Brian,

For some unknown reason CBS insists on broadcasting your team week after week. The only good thing about watching your team is that they remind me why I’m a Bengals fan. Last week John Madden and I both encouraged you to just start Troy Smith for the rest of the season. But no, not you Brian, you went against common sense and the American public and started Kyle Boller again. How did that work out for you? TERRIBLE.

TROY SMITH. TROY SMITH. TROY SMITH. Do you get it now? I doubt it. Can’t wait to see what Kyle can do for you next week. The only coach in the NFL worse than you is Bobby Petrino..oh wait. Nope, it’s just you.

Chris Henry Might Be Innocent, Still Being Targeted

Apparently Florence police have found a stolen car in Chris Henry’s driveway. It was reported stolen from Hertz. Chris says his car was stolen in Louisiana (I’d expect nothing less from those Louisianan’s) and that he had rented a car through Hertz under the assumption that his insurance company would pay for it. However, neither Chris nor his insurance company has paid Hertz, and the man wants his money. Now, as someone who’s had their car stolen, I’ll tell you there’s a 99.9% chance that he’s supposed to pay up front and the insurance will reimburse him. I had to pay $90 to get my own car out of the impound lot. State Farm sent me a check like a month later, like a good neighbor.
Now, here’s why I say Chris Henry is being targeted. The police officer who “discovered” said stolen vehicle just happened to be driving by Henry’s residence and realized that there was a car in the driveway that he didn’t recognize and decided to run the plates. WHAT?! How many times a day do you drive by houses and just decide to run plates? Thanks for keeping Florence safe officer D-bag. I hope you get on T.V. just like you wanted.

Forget Stray Pea, I’m One Hardened Criminal

All of my rage has finally caught up to me and the other day I was caught breaking the law. It’s true, I’m a lean, mean, law-breaking machine. I scoffed in the face of the law, and it scoffed back, with a $104 fine and a “Have a nice day, ma’am,”. Yeah Chips, you have a nice day too.

Let me start at the beginning…so I left for school on Thursday and I ran into traffic. Now, it was 9:15, there was no reason for there to be morning rush hour traffic, all you people should have already been at work, get off my road! So I made a little detour from Satan’s Lair (a.k.a. I-75) and maneuvered my way to I-71. So here’s the scenario, I had left the house early, so I had no reason to speed until I got to Ridge Rd., where traffic enters the highway on the left. There was a semi-truck entering the highway and he was trying to get out of the fast lane, so he had his turn signal on to let me know he was coming on over. I, however, was in his blind spot, and in order to save my life, I hit the gas. Then I came around the bend and there was Eric Estrada’s twin with a laser. He actually stepped out into the fast lane and pointed at me and then pointed at the shoulder on the fast lane side. I may have actually said to myself, “Chief, I’m driving a mustang, not a 747, I see you,”. I briefly considered pulling over on the slow lane side because I wanted to see him maneuver 4 lanes of traffic on his motorcycle, then I reconsidered and thought perhaps he would give me a warning. HA! I don’t get warnings, ever.

So he walks up to my car and says, “Morning ma’am,” and all I wanted to say was, “‘Sup CHiPs!” even though I’m not in California, I’m still an idiot. He proceeded to tell me, “I clocked you going 70 in a 55. Did you not realize you were going that fast?”, to which I replied, “Well, let me explain..”. I proceeded to tell my story to which he said, “Well, the bad news is I only see you for a little second and I’m still going to have to issue you a citation.” I may have said, “Yeah, I didn’t think you cared why I was speeding.” He then said he was going back to write my ticket and that he would be quick and I said, “Good, I have class at 10″ and pointed at my watch for emphasis. That’s right folks, I am in full idiot mode at all times, I can’t turn that off. Just in case you don’t believe that, when he walked back up to have me sign my ticket I was munching on Cheerios (I take a sandwich bag of Cheerios for breakfast) and dancing to a sweet tune in my car. The trooper actually laughed and said, “Ma’am, I went as quickly as I could, just sign here and you’ll be on your way.” Oh, in case you were wondering, no, I didn’t really speed on the rest of the drive to school and yes I still made it on time.

The rule of the day is: do NOT get caught speeding by the highway patrol! Seriously, $104 for anything less than 25 m.p.h. over the speed limit. My other two speeding tickets (both obtained when I was a young and rebellious) were $50 court fee and $1 fine for each m.p.h. over the speed limit. Again, avoid the highway patrol at all costs, because they don’t have anything else to do but write you a ticket.

Fashion Police I Am Not, But……

Rosie O’Donnell decided to take the opportunity to bash Elisabeth Hasslebeck and Donald Trump on her family oriented gay/lesbian cruise. You know, the cruise that cancelled the vacations for a lot of non-gay people (what I’m really saying is cancelled vacations of legitimate families). First, if it’s a gay family fun cruise, should she really be sitting around making fun of others? Because when I think family entertainment, I think let’s go listen to a squawk box talk poorly of others. Please, I can do that at home, Joy Behar is still on The View. Anyways, Rosie decided it would be fun to make fun of others while dressed in this stunning ensemble.

rosiecruisebash71107.jpg

Yep, that’s right. She is making fun of others, meanwhile she is dressed like a 1990 nightmare in yellow crocs. She also appears to have some sort of ankle boot tattoed on her leg. I pity the fool who had to do that. Dykes everywhere, behold your king…or better yet, just stick with Ellen.

Rehab Be Not Proud

So Lindsay Lohan is 21 today, finally legal to drink, too bad she’s been doing that for at least 3 years now. Congratulations Linds, you’re finally legal to drink and you’ve already been through rehab twice. TWICE. There’s no telling how long she’s been snorting lines of blow off a toilet seat either.

Sometimes when people go to rehab or join AA we think, “Good for them, getting their life together,”. When Lindsay goes to rehab we think, “Again? Is she even old enough to drink yet?”. Rehab, twice in 1 year, and all they do is pen her up for about a week, then let her bike around on the beach with her posse of idiots, and then 30 days later set her free to go hang out with Rumer Willis, who smokes pot and chews on condoms by the way. Oh, but she’s going to do the extended outpatient program, which means that she is free to go drink and then she can go to her meetings and say, “I’m trying to stop! See everyone, I go to meetings! See Judge, I’m trying to be responsible! Please have pity on me and don’t put me in jail, I really don’t want to be EXACTLY like Paris”.

Responsible is not having a drug and alcohol problem before you’re legal to drink. Responsible is having millions of dollars and calling a cab. Responsible is not patterning your life after Paris Hilton. I’ll even go as far to say this, responsible is going to rehab to improve yourself, not put on a show for everyone around you. We’re not impressed Lindsay (Britney, Nicole Richie, etc etc), we’re just laughing at your expense.

Shall we start the betting for how long it will be before she falls of the wagon (again)?

California Catfights

I won’t lie, I’m not ashamed of this at all, I love me some celebrity gossip. That being said, it’s only appropriate that I sound off on all of this Paris Soap Opera. First Paris is apparently the new OJ and there’s a media circus all over Los Angeles. I’d like to first focus on this Judge/Prosecutor vs. Sheriff battle. Three elected officials are scratching and pulling hair over who’s right and who’s wrong. How would you feel if your local government chose to act like junior high girls in a power tug-of-war? I roll my eyes in their general, wanna-be celebrity direction.

Now, onto Paris. This whole “she shouldn’t go to jail for driving on a suspended license” argument is lame. People are acting like she didn’t do anything wrong. Since when is getting a DUI acceptable? Furthermore, claiming that the judge wouldn’t have sentenced anyone else to 45 days in jail for the same crime it ridiculous. Dig up a case of a person, non-famous who acted the same way and find the judges ruling on that. Everyone’s making this hasty generalization that Paris is being targeted because she’s a Hollywood brat. She put the lives of other people in danger, and I’m sure it wasn’t the first time.

Yesterday, the Reverend Al Sharpton was calling for Paris to be returned to jail. Today Anne Coulter is referring to Paris as a “nitwit hussy”, and then proceeds to defend Paris and say she shouldn’t be sentenced so her traffic-court judge can make a name for himself. I agree with Al Sharpton and not Anne Coulter? Surely you jest! It’s the Apocalypse!

Chris Henry being pulled over by a Cincinnati cop for not using a turn signal in Over-the-Rhine, THAT’S ridiculous (Chris Henry/Paris Hilton, surely you see that I’m comparing apples to apples here), Paris Hilton being punished for a DUI, not ridiculous.

I just love that Paris chose to scream for her mommy when the sentence was handed down (again). Nothing says I’m a mature adult like screaming for your mom.

A General Rant

I’m just going to rant in general today. I actually started this yesterday but I had too much to say to finish it, so bear with me. While the Liz Carroll judge prefers not to partake in this “cacophony” I choose to partake, it’s my first amendment right.

In local news a jury found Liz Carroll guilty of murder, involuntary manslaughter, kidnapping, felonious assault, and 3 counts of child endangering. The rest of the world is not surprised. This is like saying, “Britney Spears is found to be a bad mom.�? No kidding, she wanders the globe like an addlepated tart and is generally too busy stripping, drinking, or puking to bother taking care of her children. It’s been a while since I’ve handed out the douche bag of the week award, but I can’t pick just one this time. It’s like douche bag city, there’s no end to the douche baggery in the death of Marcus Fiesel.

Douche #1, David Carroll – What kind of husband brings his girlfriend to LIVE in the home with his wife? I mean, there’s extramarital affairs and then there is ridiculous. There are conflicting reports as to whether or not David & Liz shared Amy Baker as their girlfriend or not, and I don’t care what’s true in that case. I’m Midwest, I don’t want to hear about swingers, I want to grow corn! This guy is 28 years old, old enough to know that taking care of a child is more important than having sex with some random white trash that blew into your yard. Certainly old enough to know better than to tie him up, or let someone else tie him up etc. etc.

Douch #2, Liz Carroll – Ok, when the prosecuting attorney is making his closing argument and brings up that “they treated the family dog better than Marcus�?, you don’t say, “but the dog was alive.�? Liz, that didn’t make you look smart, it didn’t make you look caring, and it certainly didn’t help your case! You were also old enough to know better. Also, using a foster child as a source of income is disgusting. I suppose that’s what people do when they are to ugly to strip.

Douche #3, Amy Baker – You get immunity for telling “the truth�? which conveniently doesn’t implicate yourself. Good work, you’re the smartest piece of trash in Clermont County. As my dad would say, “no good deed goes unpunished.�? This means hillbillies with pitchforks are going to show up at the Bob Evan’s where she’s a waitress (under a fake name..as if her face hasn’t been all over the news) and filet her in the parking lot.

Douche #4, Liz Carroll’s lawyer – although I have the STRONG feeling he was trying to guarantee her firm ground for appeal by giving such a piss poor defense.

Douche #5, The Cincinnati Enquirer – I’ve made no bones about how poorly written I find this paper. I mean, isn’t there an editor to find the typos and the bad grammar? It’s not like my blog, it’s a newspaper, people are supposed to read it! Anyways the Enquirer is being recognized with this coveted award for publishing the names and occupations of the jurors in this case. Where do they get off? I once served as a juror in a medial malpractice case where a man had died (because his wife didn’t care about him, not the fault of the doctor) and as the foreman of that jury I would have felt my safety was in danger. Heck, I felt endangered enough just being in downtown Hamilton! The Enquirer is saying that “overriding public interest in the case�? is justifying the name publication. Overriding public opinion here is that the Enquirer is full of douche bags.

In the end I have made predictions: While David Carroll must know that he doesn’t stand an ice cubes chance, his lawyer will again fight that he cannot get a fair trial in Clermont County. To which I reply, you killed a 3 year old, autistic boy, do you deserve a fair trial? No. But if David doesn’t kill himself before March 19, his lawyer will not worry about getting him set free, she’ll worry about making sure he has strong grounds for appeal.

And kudos to the judge in this case for not abusing his power (and speaking ability) and completely going overboard with the obligatory verbal spanking each judge gives a convicted criminal. The diarrhea of their judgmental mouth has always annoyed me

I’m Confused..

Can someone remind me why the world should be proud of Lindsay Lohan for being “so responsible” and getting help for her drinking problem….she’s not even old enough to drink. Society rewards bad behavior, I should’ve been a bad girl.

Now on to other things I can’t stand. ADULT STUDENTS! Anyone who has ever gone to college knows about this one. Everyone else in the class is content to sit there and listen to lecture, ask/answer questions when appropriate and sometimes get out 5 minutes early one Friday. But no, not you adult student, you sit there and ask questions that do not pertain to the actual lecture and THEN you ask 46 of these same types of questions and the next thing I know it’s 2:00 and we were supposed to get out at 1:50. You also have the nerve to actually read the book, what is that all about? And why do you tell so many stories? I feel like I’m in stupid story time with you people. Guess what? No one cares about: the time your daughter broke her ankle, how long you were in labor, what being a marine is all about, or buffalo cheese. Did you hear me, NO ONE CARES!!

This reminds me of a old, large woman who was in my Intro to Psych. class. She was always late, and coming from me, the Queen of Late, that says a lot. She would come in 10-15 minutes late with her rolling bookbag, and then she had to take two desks (you know the ones with the seat and desk attached) because she was too large to fit in the seat with the desk down. So class was something like 12:45 – 2:00. This lady walks in one day at like 1:50 and we’re all thinking, “there’s 10 minutes left, why did you even bother” and she says to the instructor (which translates to announced to the world) that she forgot what day it was and she went to her cardiologists office rather than class, and she got all the way there and the receptionist told her it was the wrong day before she realized she was missing class. And guess what? No one cared.

Wal-Mart, A Rage of Harrison Sized Proportions

Despite protests, town opposition, torches AND pitchforks, Harrison Ohio will be getting it’s own Wal-Mart. While Harrison hates Wal-Mart because it will detract from it’s small town feel, I hate Wal-Mart for a more practical reason. If you’re the largest discount retailer in the galaxy, OPEN A CHECK OUT LANE!!!

It doesn’t matter what time of day you go to Wal-Mart, there will be approximately 564 people waiting to check out and no more than 3 lanes open at a time. Bonus points, one of those lanes is the tabacco lane, and living in such close proximity to Kentucky, I’ll give you one guess as to which lane is the longest. Not that it REALLY matters in the game of Wal-Mart Life, because that just means the longest lane has 190 people in it as opposed to the 187 in the other two available lanes.

There was a time in my life when I honestly felt Sam Walton could’ve won the presidential race, even though he has been dead since 1992. However, living in an age where instant gratification is 2 seconds to slow and Wal-Mart has pissed off rich neighborhoods everywhere by planting itself in their backyards, I think Big Sam’s popularity is waning. Speaking of Sam’s…..

I believe that Wal-Marts no lane policy has spread like a rogue STD to it’s Warehousing sister, Sam’s. It’s a sad truth, but I am all about a retailer who enables me to purchase 52 pounds of dog food, 48 rolls of toilet paper and a package of Twizzlers that weighs more than both of my legs for approximately $30. What I am NOT all about is standing in line behind a person purchasing enough groceries to feed Luxembourg for 13 weeks, a big screen TV AND a giant trampoline, because that would be the only lane open. Yeah, I know that supervising douche comes over and scans the stuff on my cart for me but this doesn’t solve the problem. I’m still standing in line you moron! Here’s a thought, get me the truck outta here and open a lane. You can have all the scanning fun you can shake at stick at there!

Really, what I’m saying here is low prices are irrelevant if I end up licking my ice cream off Wal-Marts floor before I have the chance to save 36 cents.
