                If you are born with a pretty face and a heart shaped ass you can make millions of dollars for absolutely nothing. After being married for 72 days Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from NBA player of the New Jersey Nets Kris Humphries.  It’s obvious that the wedding that was televised was all a sham and it sucks for Humphries who had been doped into marrying her. This whole thing really makes me angry that gay people can’t get married in the U.S because they are “ruining the sanctity of marriage” but Kim and Kris can. She’s only famous because she had sex with someone on camera for $5 million. She had sex with someone and then profited from it therefore, she is a prostitute. As for Humphries, even though I feel bad for him a little, he should have known what he was getting himself into.  Why would he follow the NFC? Kardashian banged players who play for the NFC south and the NFC west. The sex tape, the NFL players, her parading around in outfits that show most of her lady parts wasn’t a red flag, not to mention that she is always partying in nightclubs? It’s obvious that Humphries is just a big dumb jock idiot. The whole Kardashian family is just grotesque and extremely selfish and brainless.

                Apparently a woman is claiming that Justin Beiber fathered her child. She claims she and the singer went backstage into a bathroom and had sex. When she told him to put a condom on he said “I don’t want to”.  She also says that he told her she would be taking his virginity.  Of course Bieber and his reps deny all of that and say that it is false. I personally have been praying everyday that the baby is in fact his. I hate this annoying stupid bratty kid so much. I hope that kid is his so the baby can one day teach Beiber how to act like a man. I hope his stupid fans find him repulsive and then he becomes a nobody afterthought just like Jesse McCartney. He has a song called baby, and he might be raising one now. If I was Beiber I’d commit suicide because I’d hate myself. Seriously though, if I was Beiber I would use the pain of this as an inspiration to make a new album. It’s a chance for him to stop making music for little annoying girls and make music for adult men and women.  No more crap about trying to get a girl to like you in between English class and social studies. Start using crack cocaine and sing about how the man is keeping you down. I don’t think I hate any other celebrity or non celebrity for that matter than Beiber. He is one of the few people I wish death upon consistently. By the way, there’s nothing controversial or wrong about wishing someone would die. Everyone in the world at some point in their life wished someone else would die so, me saying that I wish he would die isn’t provocative at all. I also wish the cast of Jersey shore would die and also Bills owner Ralph Wilson.

0-7 :(

It’s hard to enjoy watching football when your team gets absolutely destroyed and humiliated every week.  I feel like putting a paper bag over my head. The Indianapolis Colts are horrendous without Peyton Manning. Someone has to take responsibility in fact I want someone to get fired for this. This team has always been a great solid playoff team and always was close to winning a second Super Bowl. The Sunday night game against the Saints was unbearable.  I found myself sitting there and constantly changing channels to avoid the carnage. Sitting in my living room and watching on my big screen TV my favourite sports team get manhandled made me enraged. Not to mention NBC’s coverage that consists of showing Bourbon Street any time could, playing music from the dreaded Bayou, and showing idiots in the stands with “Who Dat” signs.  Plus, Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth are so boring to listen to. They just thrive at being mediocre broadcasters going through a mid life crisis. Everything about this season irritates me especially seeing 2^nd class teams like the Lions and the Bills playoff bound. The Bills will play at Rogers Centre this Sunday. I don’t want to watch the NFL playoffs in January and not see the Colts play with the Steelers, Chargers, Patriots, or who ever.  Peyton manning has to stop standing on the sidelines and looking all depressed and helpless. The camera focuses on him several times during the game and he’s just standing there looking like he wet himself. From now on please watch from the booth or inside the locker room.  

Relax, you’re a sports journalist.

 Not 5, not 6, not 7, said LeBron James of the Miami Heat when asked how many championships the team would win. Ever since then the media has been hounding him and his team for his comments. Sports journalists have to understand that the men they are interviewing are athletes. You shouldn't hold them to a higher standard. These are men with very little education who are essentially jocks with money. They will say or do things that may contradict the team and themselves but, that doesn't mean you should beat them over the head with it. You’re not interviewing or reporting on politicians, law in- enforcement, business owners, or the government. You’re covering people who get paid to play a game in an arena in front of tens of thousands of people. It’s the quintessential definition of show business.  Sports are the greatest form of reality television and to sharply criticize any athlete for saying he wants to win multiple championships is arrogant. Remember that you place on a golden pedestal those with multiple championships.  The ones to focus on are those who have criminal records and or known use of performance enhancing drugs. 

                Focus on things in sports that work and don’t, for example the WNBA. It’s time to scrap this league. Nobody cares or watches these games. You have to know a guy who works for a cable company to get the channel that the game is on. Just a few weeks ago the Minnesota Lynx beat the Atlanta Dream 73 to 67 to win the championship. The NBA subsidizes the league and pours millions into it every year. There’s nothing wrong with the young women who play basketball but, this league has run its course. It’s time to shut it down.

                Enough with the pink already! I’m tired of watching NFL games and seeing players wearing pink cleats, pink gloves, and pink hats. I know breast cancer is terrible and it’s great the league raises money for it but, making the players wear pink is so ridiculous. I don’t want to see my favourite football players wearing pink. I don’t want to see Ray Lewis wearing one of those pink head covers. I don’t want to see Adrian Peterson with a pink mouth guard. I definitely don’t want to see Dwight Freeny or Robert Mathis wearing pink. Although Donovan McNabb and Jay Cutler should wear pink gear all season.

                I want to see LeBron James play in the NFL has a wide receiver. First down he runs in the middle and gets wrecked by Ray Lewis, Urlacher, Polamalu, and pretty much anyone, even David Akers. The NBA lockout is really hurting the great game of basketball. I love basketball so much and it sucks not being able to see Raptors games on television. They already cancelled the pre-season and the first two weeks. Now David Stern is threatening to cancel the Christmas Day games. What else is there for me to do on Christmas if there are no games on TV? I hope they end this lockout because TV is boring enough and if there are no basketball games on TV during the week I’m stuck watching the Big Bang Theory instead of the Raps taking on the Celtics. I’m stuck watching a Christmas carol and a Star wars Marathon instead of the Lakers playing the Heat at the Staples Centre. Plus, watching hockey is such a chore. It’s so boring and the game is just has exciting as a poker game.

                The MLB should add another spot to the playoffs. Baseball in the post season is very exciting. I used to think baseball was a very boring spot but, the success of the Blue jays this season made the MLB a great game to watch. The playoffs have been great. The fall classic is going to be a great series with two teams not from the north east but rather the heartland. I 'm rooting for the Cardinals to win in 6 games over the Rangers.

Fall Election Preview

This october the people of Ontario will head to the ballot box and vote for the person they believe would be the best Premier for them. According to a recent Nano's poll Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty had a slight edge over PC Tim Hudak. Meanwhile NDP leader Andrea Horwath is a distant 3rd. Nevertheless there are still 20% of voters who are still undecided and depending how they vote if they vote will determine the winner. It looks as though it will be a minority government for who ever wins. Even Horwath could come from behind and win. This is an election for Dalton McGuinty to loose. He has been on the offensive attacking Hudak and calling the Ontario PC's "The tea party". On the other hand Hudak claimed that the Premier would give a job to a "foreigner" instead of a Canadian. This type of political mudslinging and hyperbole will definitely turn off voters. Both of these candidates risk looking partisan. Horwath has been staying out of their way answering reporters questions and speaking to constituents and is looking electable. For some reason her polling each time has always come out at a distant 3rd. She can't get any more votes than that and if she wants to win she has to do something or say something to give her a spark or some sort of momentum. If she drags her feet this is going to be one of the many mistakes the NDP do this year. The Liberals have 38.1%, the PC have 34.7%, the NDP have 24.3%. Who ever wins is going to have to deal with a number of things such as health care, education, the tax code and Toronto. Here is the link to the Nanos Poll. http://www.nanosresearch.com/main.asp

I Love YouTube

YouTube has become a huge platform for young artists to showcase their talent. I watch a lot of music videos on the Internet of artists trying to get their big break. In many cases it has worked out for them and for a lot it doesn’t. The fact that YouTube allows people to express themselves freely gives a person complete freedom to do what they want, even if it’s a corny idea. There are many great artists on YouTube and I don’t think they get enough recognition because I can honestly say that there are songs on YouTube that are better than the filth I hear on the radio. One specific genre that I see a lot of is hip-hop music. I see where people can make the argument that hip-hop music isn’t what it used to be, I can agree with that. I don’t think hip-hop will ever return to the way it used to be but I also don’t see that as a bad thing. A lot of rappers have their own style, which makes music more fun and unique. Keeping the same style gets old and listeners want more variety. I like that rappers are being more creative with their work for example featuring a rock group on a song. I think the blends of music together makes it that much more spectacular. Don’t get me wrong; it’s not only the rappers. Many artists are featuring artists from different genres and I personally find this kind of music to be the best. Classic hip-hop can never be replaced. Many artists use the same old school sounds in their music but it’s rare to hear a whole album that has an old school vibe. 

Is Obama a socialist?

Not even close. When senator Obama was running for president in 2008 he promised many things to the American people and the world. As soon as he won the election he was attacked by conservative news media Fox News simultaneously he was attacked by republicans in congress especially tea party republicans. They said economic policies were too liberal and too far left and that he was hurting the economy. The stimulus bill that was started under President Bush and continued under Obama is one of the many things they blame him for. I agree Obama’s stimulus bill failed but it didn’t fail because it was too big. This is where Liberals like me and conservatives differ. The stimulus bill failed because it was too small, if it had been bigger the economy would have rebounded and it would help people find jobs. The other reason it failed is one the republicans never acknowledge. Half of the stimulus was the Bush tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. When President Obama worked on health care reform he made a huge mistake, he started the debate with the public option. The public option is government insured health care which means if you are an American and your coverage is too expensive and the health insurance companies are giving you a hard time you would be able to switch and receive the same care from your doctor or from any hospital and it would be affordable to you and would not put you in financial strain. If people like the insurance they already have then they would be able to keep it that’s why it’s called public option. Obama is a member of the Democratic Party and as a democrat he should have started the debate with universal health care. Universal health care is a single payer system like Canada’s health care system which means you don’t pay the government pays for the health care. Every western first world country has some version of this except the United States. Getting rid of the health insurance companies should have been his goal. These companies profit from people’s sickness raising rates and not covering patients for many diseases and cancers. If he started the debate from single payer but wasn’t going to get enough support in congress to pass the bill he could of then cut a deal and got the public option passed knowing that there is no need for a middle man for health care. If that isn’t enough to prove that Obama is not a socialist than this will. Big companies and corporations are supposed to pay taxes to the federal government. Exxon Mobile and BP are two of the world’s biggest oil companies. They pay lower taxes then middle class families and they receive tax cuts from the government. If Obama closed loopholes and stopped giving big oil companies the American peoples tax dollars he would save $4 billion over 10 years. General Electric (GE) gets billions in tax relief from the government but pays absolutely no income taxes. GE is the owner of NBC News and MSNBC. MSNBC is a leftist liberal network that supports democrats and extensively makes republicans look bad which makes MSNBC the equivalent of Fox News. Obama always gets good coverage and news reports making him look good and in exchange GE abuses the tax code and pays no taxes. The 2012 re-election campaign has started and Obama’s team estimate that they will get over a billion dollars in campaign contributions to defeat the republican candidate. Obama is democrat who has passed over and over again bills that are exactly what republicans want. Obama isn’t a socialist he isn’t even a democrat he’s moderate conservative he just happens to be on the blue team but would find himself surrounded with people just like him if he was on the red team.

Norway Terrorist

 The atrocities that took place on July 22 2011 will be remembered forever by the people of Norway and people all over the world. When things like this happen we must remember that the majority of people in this world want to live free, want secularism, tolerance, and freedom of speech among other things. It’s the few that try to derail us that are heinous and will face the consequences of their actions.

Anders Behring Breivik is the coward who ended up killing 76 innocent civilians out of hatred for Norway’s multiculturalist society and the liberal grass roots organisations who have liberal immigration policies. His xenophobia is directly specific to Muslims and Islam. He is a far right wing Christian terrorist who tried to start a holy war against Islam. It was only a matter of time until people started to criticize the response by the police and emergency services. Media helicopters were at the scene at Utoeya Island an hour before the police arrived. Meanwhile, a government building was under attack by bombs. It had become clear that the police were unprepared for simultaneous attacks. What’s troubling is that Brievik was already known by the police since March 2011, that when authorities discovered he had bought chemicals from Poland online.

Director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, or START, Gary LaFree says, “The greatest threat of large-scale attacks come from individuals and small groups of extremists who subscribe to radical Islamic or far right-wing ideologies”. Domestic terrorism such as this has been on the rise. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Right Wing anti-government groups grew by 60% in 2010. Breiviek had such distaste for multi-culturalism that he preached “unity over diversity” claiming diversity was destroying European society.

The killer’s goal was to reverse the immigration of Muslims to Europe and although the killer is a white Christian, there some media coverage reporting that the attacks were from Islamist extremists. The American cable news host Bill orielly was angry behind his desk last week scolding the mainstream media for calling Breiviek a Christian. Going on to say that, “Christians are non-violent”. Yet his network, Fox News, has been equating law abiding Muslims with radical Islam. Yet he and others like him fail to realize that Christian extremism can be just has radical and dangerous as Islamic extremism. During The Crusades in the 15^th century the pope started several campaigns with the goal of capturing the holy land and battling many different religions in holy war. The threats that we face in life are not these specific religions, but instead religion itself.  Not all the names of the victims have been released but the ones that are can be found on this link.
