Who is the idiot that said you can't buy freedom?

I was reading about the Jayson Williams case today. But more than that, I was reading about the history of Jayson Williams. Here is a guy who has repetedly gotten drunk and made an ass of himself. This is a guy who has repetedly escaped legal charges. This is a guy who has repetedly gotten drunk and played with guns. Finally, it appeared that Jayson had finally gotten himself into more trouble than he would be able to escape. He had shot and killed his limo driver and tried to cover up the incident. There was no way that he could escape the law this time. OJ did it, but there were witnesses this time and he basically admitted to the crime. It would take a miracle for him to beat this case (or millions of dollars to get the best defense team money can buy). And I'll be damned if Jayson didn't beat the charges. He basically got away with killing a guy. He has once again proved the fact that with enough money, you can be above the law. My best friend is on the opposite side of the spectrum. My friend was arrested for asaulting a police officer for alledgedly hitting a police horse. In a crowded downtown atmosphere, this officer who obviously loved her horse very much, pointed at my friend who was just enjoying his own drunkenness. Although this officer could not even give a physical discription remotely close to that of my friend, he was still convicted of these charges and jailed for several months for this ridiculous charge. I have talked to my friend, and he swears that he was completely innocent. He has no reason to lie to me. But because he did not have millions of dollars to buy a defense team, he was forced to sit in jail. This kind of thing happens all the time. Why does a guy who robs a convenience store to feed his family, go to jail longer than a rich CEO who doesn't even need money but steals millions of dollars. Companies like Enron, Adelphia, or Tyco have leaders who have stolen billions of dollars and basically ruined people's confidence to invest in the stock market. Because these people have money, its almost like they have a different set of laws. That just aint right. The people who ran these companies are the greediest people who ever lived on this planet. Thats a fact. This country has a ton of greedy people, and the greediest of the greedy saw what these people did, and said "Wow, that's fucking greedy. I wish I'd thought of that. They just made the numbers up. Fuck, that was simple." Imagine this, a father and two sons run a company called Adelphia, and they each take from this company a billion dollars. Three people take a billion dollars. THREE PEOPLE take a billion dollars! What are they going to do, start their own space program. They used 13 million dollars of company money to build a golf corse in their backyard. I am amazed that the people of this company didn't rise as one and slay them. I never understood why the people of France chopped off Marie Antoinette's head, but now I fucking get it. Dennis Kowslowski runs TYCO, he took 463 million from the company because he had a lot of shit to buy. One purchase he made was a $6000 dollar shower curtain. Why the hell would you spend this much money for a bathroom. You could have a golden toilet, but you're still going to take a dump in it. These people deserve to do hard time for what they did, but they won't. Our president says they should do ten years in prison, but our president is not in touch with reality. He's not, because it's not enough time. It really shows a lack of respect for the people who were fucked over. These people commited crimes, and we don't even know the level of damage that they did. But chances are, they won't even do ten years, they'll get off and not do anywhere near the punishment they deserve. So I say fuck the legal system, send these assholes to the nuthouse. You don't need a judge or a jury. You just need a nine year-old with common sense. All you say is three people took a billion dollars, and the kid goes "That's fucking nuts!" These people should be forced to sit for twenty years next to someone who is crosheying something that isn't there. Justice must be served.

Thanks Tayshaun

If you watched the playoff game tonight, you probably saw the play that Tayshaun Prince made to win the game for the Pistons. He blocked the weak ass breakaway layup that the Grampa Reggie threw up to tie the game. As you can see by my Bill Laimbeer picture, I am somewhat of a pistons fan. But the thing that made this great hustle play truly special in my heart was that it was Reggie Miller who got his shot blocked. Let me tell you a childhood story. I used to be one of the biggest Reggie Miller fans in the country. I had all kinds of Reggie Miller posters, Reggie Miller's authentic jersey, Reggie's allstar jersey, Reggie's game shoes, and over 100 Reggie Miller basketball cards. There was seriously something wrong with me. My dad knew how much of a fan I was so he tried to do something really cool for me. My dad knows Larry Brown who was the coach of the pacers when I was 13 years old. So when the pacers played the Bucks that year my dad talked to Larry and took me into the Pacers lockerroom. So I go into the locker room with my Miller jersey on, in search of my childhood hero. I go in there, and there he is walking towards me. I'm like "Reggie, Reggie" and My dads like "Reggie can you talk to my kids" and guess what. The asshole walks straight past us, and goes to the training table to get his scrawny ass stretched. He could have taken 20 seconds out of his time to at least give me and my brother a five and say whats up whiteboys. But no, he felt compelled to completely ignore us, like we were just some dogshit on the lockerroom floor. So, fuck Reggie Miller. Fuck him , he looks like a black Steve Buscemi without hair. (man, thats ugly) If he would have dunked that shit, instead laying up like a bitch, the pacers may have won tonight. Hey Reggie your time is up, retire pleeeease. I don't hold a grudge against this man, but it did hurt my feelings at the time. 9 years later, I am actually happy Reggie did ignore me. It taught me a lesson to treat all people with respect, especially kids. I will always talk to anybody that come up to me no matter who they are. I will make time to sign autographs for kids even if I am busy. My time is not that important that I need to completely disregard someones existence. It may be a pain in the ass, but if someone looks up to me, the least I can do is give them a few minutes of my time. That's what Bill Laimbeer would do.
One Love
Flip Diesel

I now pronounce you man and man?

Yesterday, queers from around the state gathered in Boston to celebrate the approval of gay marriage in Massachusetts. Yes, the same state that persecuted hundreds of women in the town of Salem because of their magic powers, now has the most tolerant policy on marriage of any state in the U.S. The same state that saw a bunch of oped up old men dress up like indians and dump over a half a million pounds of tea into the harbor has celebrated this event just over 231 years later by bringing together lesbians and gays who share a special love. Massachusetts has once again cemented its legacy in American history. Now homosexuals like Ellen Degenerous, Tracy Chapman, Elton John, and Clay Aiken can sigh a breath of relief because a change has been made. One person you won't see in Boston getting drunk with the gays is flip diesel.

I am not homophobic, and I believe in equal rights and hate discrimination, but I think you have to draw a line somewhere. The principle of marriage was founded with the idea of man and woman. Whoever started this whole marriage thing probably did so without the idea of two guys getting their freak on being brought into discussion. Man was meant to be with woman, and woman was meant to be with man. If you follow common religious practices, besides buddhism, your religion tells you that homosexuality is wrong. If you do not follow any religious teachings, you can look at the simple fact that in nature, more often than not, males mate with females. This is how it has been done throughout time. Last time I checked you still need both a penis and a vagina to make a baby. Sure there is artificial insemination and even cloning, but the origin of creation still remains the same. If we had a planet full of married gay people, we would become extinct. I don't think people should be treated differently because they are gay, but we should not change our traditions that were founded for a specific purpose. Maybe gays have a right to be socially accepted in america. But I do not think it is healthy to celebrate homosexuality, which is what marriage is (a celebration). We should not adapt our culture for something that is unnatural. Hypothetical situation. Say I fall deeply in love with a chimpanzee. I want to spend the rest of my life with this monkey. Should the laws be changed so that I can marry this monkey and collect tax benefits? No, I would have to deal with the fact that my feelings were unnatural, and I would have to spend my entire life with this monkey unmarried. I could live with that, and people like RuPaul should do the same.

Show Some Love for the 24 hour Restaurant

One of my favorite pastimes has been to visit 24 hour restaraunts in the early hours of the morning. These establishments will always hold a very special place in my heart. When I was in high school, George Webbs was the restaurant of choice, but now IHOP reigns supreme. There is so much to love about these restaraunts besides the fact that they are open as long as they can just squeeze by health inspections (IHOP barely survived last year) The food is always good because you are usually drunk and hungry as hell. If you are overweight, there is almost always one person who is fatter than you ever will be. No matter who you are with, you can always find something to talk about. And of course there is always the atmosphere. When I visit these places I am usually fairly intoxicated, so I dont remember very much. However, the memories that I do have are truly spectacular. Some of the most interesting people you will ever meet, also partake in extremely late night dining. 3:30 to 4:30 is usually primetime, but you can find a wide variety of freaks all the way up to about 6:00 a.m. when normal working folk start venturing in. Just last Friday I was walking in to IHOP when this lady in a red dress catches my eye. Then my friend says look at that lady in the red dress, so I decide to take a closer look. This wasn't the normal late night skank that you usually see standing in line. This was the ugliest transvestite I have ever seen. While I am staring at this monstrosity, a fight breaks out in the back of the restaraunt. This guy who is clearly a flaming homosexual, gets pushed into a table spilling water all over the place. The two gladiators are then escorted out of the restaraunt by a cop with the spitting image of Steve Urkel. If that is not entertainment, I don't know what is.

Racism in America

We live in a racist country. I see it everyday in the great state of South Carolina. Every time I go to Club Revolutions (which is every time too many) I hear somebody say "look how tall that whiteboy is." Why do I have to be the tall whiteboy? Why can't it be tall guy? And who came up with names like honky and cracker anyways. That shit doesn't make any sense. Racism is everywhere, even in the cereal industry. Just look at Trix the Rabbit.  He just wants some cereal.  Those little jerks sit there and say "Oh no, you can't have any." And then when they eat it, the world turns colorful, everyone except the Rabbit.  He stays white.  So this obviously isn't a sharing problem, it is racism. Just because he is a rabbit he is expected to eat carrots and lettuce. What if he is sick of lettuce and carrots and is looking for a fruity alternative. He is shit on by these little kids. They are not even adults and the think they know everything about rabbits and can boss around this adult rabbit. Ill tell you what, one of these days the rabbit is gonna go off these kids Hannibal Lecter style and sprinkle their carcasses of his trixs.
