The devil coaches basketball (VIDEO)

Here is a SNL skit with the very funny - and not just because she's fat - Melissa McCarthy coaching basketball that would make Bobby Knight and Mike Rice, those dicks, proud.

Happy Easter. Don't plan on Jesus showing up

In the spirit of the holiday here's a brief but thought-provoking read on the modern question WWJD?
"Sorry! Here's Why Jesus Wouldn't Join Today's Church" Damn, really? With a title like that who wouldn't be curious to read Jack Spatafora's article on Chicago Now.
And here's my little take on Holy Week in Mexico or, as it's called in Spanish, Semana Santa.

Tomas Young dying young
-
Don't just hate Bush Administration for being "compassionate conservatives" or for transforming our national surplus into years of saddling debt. Despise Bush & Cheney for the same reasons we pride ourselves on despising other lying warmongers: thirst for wealth and power at the cost of misguided lives.
Tomas Young was one of hundreds of delusional youth who enlisted in the military in the wake of 9/11. The economy wasn't great then either and the allure of the military begins to look more and more like a very tempting and "responsible" decision (he married young, besides) but the 22-year old Young signed up out of patriotism, not as a calculated career move. I almost did the same.
That was 2004.
Now it's 2013 and Young has a new dying wish: to see the former vice president and his proxy express remorse...instead of backslapping on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War. And by 'dying' we mean just that. Young and his wife have chosen hospice care. Click above to read an excerpt of his Last Letter.

Iraq veteran's 'Last Letter' to Bush AdministrationHe got his wish. He was sent into combat. Only it wasn't in Afghanistan where the bad guys supposedly originated (or Saudi Arabia where some of the terrorists' funding flowed) but, oddly, Iraq. Anywho, he was dying for action and, man, did he get it fast. Less than a week into his first tour Young's convoy was blasted by insurgents (you all remember that word, right?) leaving him paralyzed and dependent on life-providing medicines.
That was 2004.

Well it's going on a month and La Maestra, Sra Gordillo is STILL in jail.
Mexicans are great at laughing at other people's misfortunes. Case in point: last week I saw a T-shirt in a souvenir shop with a caricature of Gordillo's surgically altered mug behind a window of bars. Attached to her black&white prison stripes is a red tag which reads: NO MAS MARCUS (No more Marcus)
A very, very clever pun at her infamous Nieman Marcus shopping spree.

Elba Esther Gordillo
-
The bride of Chucky sits in a jail. Not a metaphorical opulent palace providing for everything - sans the freedom of mobility - like the beautiful Taj Mahal or even the seat of power, the White House, which has, at times, been referred to by its occupants as something of a prison ("A cross between a nunnery and a penitentiary," remembered Susan Ford, daughter of President Gerald Ford) but, rather, an actual real as hell Mexican jail. Specifically, the weirdly named, Santa Martha Acatitla prison in Mexico City.
An incarceration hole named after a christian saint. Talk about a mind fuck!
Showy, brash, divisive Elba Esther Gordillo, a self-made caricature and political fixture of the country's standard bearer PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) forgot two important axioms:

Showy, brash, divisive Elba Esther Gordillo, a self-made caricature and political fixture of the country's standard bearer PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) forgot two important axioms:
- She's an ambitious woman in a man's world (not to mention - cough - Mexico!)
- Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Senora Gordillo also forgot about her people...her humble beginnings as a school teacher...her purported purpose in politics and life: to advance the formal education of Mexican students which, in turn, produces educated & civil members of society. Whether the charges of embezzlement stick are moot.
As the head of the immensely powerful teacher's union for the past 23 years (in October she won re-election to another 6-year term) this lady qualifies as a kingfish; And she behaved as a kingfish. She preferred to enrich herself and cronies, living the life of a big spender - a celebrity - while her very constituents, teachers, pinch pesos to make ends meet until they can plant enough besos on the right asses to eat from the trough themselves.
I don't know what the state of general education was like two decades ago and I'm sure it has improved since then, but in the many years I've been coming to Mexico I often wonder "Why aren't these children in school?", "Why aren't these children in bed on a school night?" and "Is school attendance mandatory in Mexico?"
Methinks she looks like the Bride of Chucky.
Remember the cute but demented murderous doll?
If you scream in Acapulco does it make a sound?
-
Mexican authorities have arrested six men this morning in connection with the unbelievable assault and gang-rape of Spanish tourists last week at an Acapulco resort. I caution you to hold the applause: The policia is known for manhandling and arresting innocent people as well as working with known bad guys. Corruption is rife in Mexico.
You'll notice I said 'disturbing' instead of 'shocking'. Humanity's cowardice doesn't shock me anymore; but it still sickens the shit out of me.

read more about the incident hereThat Mexican bandits perpetrated their criminality with impunity in Acapulco is not so shocking. Unfortunately it really isn't. That they, thus far, have gotten away with it is not so shocking either...nor that it took over two days for arrests to be made. What is most disturbing, however, is that police didn't have a chance to apprehend the thug rapists sooner. Throughout the three-hour ordeal of drinking and raping none of the neighbors - NOT ONE - responded to the desperate screams and shouts of these women and their bound male counterparts.

Jesse Jackson, Jr

Ain't easy being greasy. And, oh, has Jesse Junior learned that the embarrassing way. Gone - or, at least, dashed - are the grand dreams of "moving on up" to Washington. Had so much going for him. And now it's gone with the wind. Not to say that a comeback isn't possible; but you've got to have the chops and a mighty, mighty big set of brass balls for it (e.g., Silvio Berlusconi, Marion Barry, Bill Clinton, Jerry Brown).
It is curious that President Obama never pulled Jesse Junior within his administration. Then again Obama hasn't pulled any black brothers up.

Zimbabwe: Can you spare a dime? Nickel? Anything?!

I may only have a backpacker's budget but this blackpacker still has more Benjamins than Zimbabwe. According to the country's Finance Minister, Tendai Biti, Zimbabwe only has itty-bitty $217 in its gov't account; Yes, as in two hundred and seventeen US dollars.
Hahahahahaha! Damn....
Excuse me as I laugh again: Hahahahahaha!
However did President Mugabe fuck up things this atrociously! Bet folks are rethinking 'bout those good ol colonial days right about now.

The importance of dismissing volunteers
-
At Lulu.com, the online publisher, there is a forum for volunteers to share their tips - page formatting, uploading steps, marketing, etc - with other users. But this has gone to the heads of some users. You know how full-time firemen tend to get annoyed by die-hard volunteer firemen?
Because I know they are not
Anywho, I don't principally write my travel stories (Don't Go To Canuckistan) for Romney's 47% anyway. Hello!

Those who can't, teach; and those who can't do that, diss & moanAbout a handful of these volunteer 'experts' presume themselves bona fide literary critiques because all they do is live online giving their two cents here and there to aspiring writers; and they do it online because real live people don't trouble themselves with them. It matters a great deal who compliments/criticizes you. And, so, when they started at me with toxic messages about my latest book (A Travelleer Other) I had to wonder who these people thought they were?
Because I know they are not
- bestselling authors or
- 'make-or-break' publishing houses or
- sought after editors or
- renown critics or
- even filthy rich writers

Germany: where homophilic propaganda is de riguer. You don't have to know German to get the gist of this billboard...and you don't have to have 20/20 vision to suspect the man in the picture would ever reproduce because it's a biological fact of Reality that men cannot bear children. In celebration of National AIDS Day this man has a baby!
Welcome to modern times.
Verily, Alice had an easier time making sense of Wonderland.

Alex Jones outsmarts Piers Morgan
-
Piers Morgan is shit. Or, in British parlance, a liddle shyte. He by no means fills the shoes of his predecessor Larry King - how he ever got the job is a wonder! - or even comes close to good interviewing in the same league as Oprah Winfrey, Wm F. Buckley, Jr; Barbara Walters, Tom Snyder, or Ted Koppel. Morgan is not a class act interviewer or warming host and we all know his journalist credibility is atrocious.
Alex Jones loudly gives Morgan a big dose of cura te ipsum and does not fall for the T.V. host's tricks of manipulative banter and slippery slope factoids.

Alex Jones loudly gives Morgan a big dose of cura te ipsumPiers Morgan is a smarmy, clever twat whose English accent, let's face it, still rings high-brow and charming to foreign ears -- until you get beyond the accent and hear how stupid and priggish he really is. But as clever as he is he wasn't clever enough for radio host Alex Jones.

Worldstar HipHop (VIDEO)

We can do away with vulgar reality television or Maury Povich or that punk twat Jeremy Kyle (and his British counterpart in California, Piers Morgan) but, good ladies and gentlemen, you dying breed, we still have by-standing 'free-lance' provocateurs & pirates always eager to hold up their cell phones and record un-shining examples of humanity. Whether it be some poor soul mobbed, pushed in front of oncoming vehicles, or simply beat up the modern Good Samaritans know the best tool of assistance is to whip out the cell phone video.
But that's neither here nor there. It's STARS we want; Individuals just perfect for the camera; and you can find oodles of them on the Internet at World Star Hip-hop...courtesy of innumerable, anonymous people just like you.

And who doesn't want to be a star? And that's the point! But not everyone can go to college to study psychology as this mother recently learned the hard way when New York City encountered the mighty Hurricane Sandy. It's what you may call a Kitty Genovese redux. Alas, Glenda Moore, too, must settle for the margins of crib notes; no selfish bastard giggly video recorded her demise.

Lisa Steed is bull dyke bitch

Another documented case in point of why I don't trust pigs: Utah Highway Patrolman, Lisa Steed FINALLY got fired - two months ago - for persistent police brutality and is now staring down the barrel of a class action lawsuit for her corruption.

why is it that real life policewomen nearly always look like bull dyke lesbians?Seems Miss God-complex habitually bullied and arrested innocent people, falsified charges and was not trigger shy about using the Taser gun (another reason why I am not spellbound by the short-sighted anti-gun criers: those with guns brazenly abuse those without guns. It's a fact: the Wild West wasn't nearly as shoot-'em-up as Hollywood Westerns portray!). Her particular specialty was slapping motorists with hefty DUI crimes -- for which the bitch was rewarded with "Trooper of the Year" in 2007. Still believe policemen don't have quotas to fill?
(video clip)Since Lisa Steed is no rookie on the Force this means her criminal behaviour - and it is criminal - was not only habitual but callous id est I'm above the Law because I am the Law! What she is is a cow. Seriously, why is it that real life policewomen nearly always look like bull dyke lesbians...and isn't that really, after all, what a masculine bovine amounts to?
Mooo. Burp!
