*House Speaker Sal DiMasi To Resign Tuesday - the guy was just re-elected Speaker like three weeks ago, and now he's resigning? The question is not "Did they catch him with a dead hooker?" but "Just how many dead hookers did they catch him with?"... Maybe he can join Tommy Finneran in requesting pardons... This is now the third MA Speaker of the House to resign in a row. That's gotta be a record of some sort...
*Monster truck crushes promoter at event - Truckasaurus' whereabouts still unknown. He is considered wheeled and dangerous. What's most interesting is this comes less than a week after the promoter was touting the safety record of monster truck racing - then he stepped in front of one of the trucks... Remember folks, Darwin will not be denied.
*Covenant coach who beat Dallas Academy 100-0 is fired - file this under "stuff I don't get". While everyone wants to feel sorry for the underdog, what gets left out is that this coach brought the winning team back from a 2-19 record and was sticking up for allegations that his girls acted "shamefully". But they needed a scapegoat, so...
*Democrats try to lower economic expectations - what, you expected Obama to actually, you know, deliver on those campaign promises of rainbow-farting unicorns? Yeah, yeah, it's all Bush's fault, blah blah blah. See how that works for you in 2010 if all you can offer is excuses. Maybe our new Treasury Secretary can save us some money by giving us tax tips on how to ditch paying...
*Macintosh turns 25 - Many still living in parents' basements... Sorry, sometimes ya just gotta go for the pure snarky goodness... Any minute now a fanboy will come along to remind us that Macs don't have anti-virus software because they don't get virii. Of course, the rejoinder is always the same - with only, what, 5% market share, who'd bother writing virus code for Macs anyway?
*Impeachment trial to proceed without Ill. governor - man, the news from IL just keeps getting weirder, doesn't it? Blago says he wanted to nominate Oprah - Oprah freakin' Winfrey - for Obama's seat, now he's not even showing up for his trial. What's next, a slow-speed Bronco chase?
*TORRE RIPS 'A-FRAUD' & BOSS' BRASS BOZOS - let me just state, as a proud MAhole, the following statement regarding this news: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Gee, A-Rod's an underperforming prima donna? Bet you're real glad you "stole" him away from the Sox, eh Georgie boy?
Who needs comedy when real life is this freakin' bizarre?
That is all.

Jay, you're cuttin' in on my turf!

Jay,
My collegiate alma matter holds the record for being on the winning side of the widest margin of victory in any football game. EVER. The year . . . 1916 -- Georgia Tech vs. Cumberland College. Final score was 222-0. Then Tech coach John Heisman (of the trophy) was not fired for embarrassing his opponent. Nope. He was praised. Here's a link to the story.

As for Sal DiMasi, aka Sal DeMoney resigning his seat ... this **IS** The Peoples' Republik of MassCorruption -- suffice it to say I'm not surprised. Not one bit.

Ted,
Hey, you can post gun pr0n, I can poke fun at the fragile Mac fanbois... ;)
Brad,
When I was a wee sprog in 2ndary ed, my alma mater was in SI for their football team - because we had a WORSE record than Columbia at the time!
The coach got fired for publicly disagreeing with the school's apology.
A few notes:
As an assistant coach on a girl's team that is winless and horrible (only two girls have ever played organized basketball before & at no point this year have they been able to hit 50% of their shots during layup drills....yes, that bad) I can tell you that there is no way that the team was NOT trying to run up the score. I read that the losing squad attempted less than 10 shots. Sorry, that means they were putting pressure on the ball at all times (not necessarily a full court press, you can trap half-court). It's not a case of teaching kids to excel & the winner gaining the spoils, it's more a case of kicking someone when they're down and a classic case of bad sportsmanship. Think of it as the BoSox stealing 8 bases in the 9th inning while winning 25-0 & brushing back batters. Bad sportsmanship.
B. Tru-dat on the Mac thing. The only thing more arrogant than an athiest is a Mac user.
C. A-Rod, barring injury, will retire as the greatest player in MLB history, with more than 800 homers. No one is worth $30/mil, but he's far and away the best player in baseball and has been for a decade. BTW, it was the MLBPA that nixed the trade to the BoSox. Personally, I'm glad Torre's ripping the Yanks; they screwed him over & they deserve it. And the Yankee fans don't deserve A-Rod, either.
A happy Mac user here, and not arrogant at all.
Sal DiMasi, hmm...what political party is he a member of? The story didn't say...
