cheney's turn and running up the score...

perhaps not wanting to be outdone by any democrat putting their foot in their mouth (although democrats don't seem to be saying much of anything), dick cheney decided he wanted to see why other politicians and leaders are so intent on eating their own feet...hence the inevitable comparison of a modern day tyrant to hitler. this time the distinguished award went to pres. chavez of venezuela...now i am not denying that there are rulers in that corner of the world (and just about every other) that are, well, one over good...but enough with the hitler comparisons every time someone nasty and possibly even evil is in office. hitler comparisons should be limited to those that truly deserve it...like say stalin. so here's a new rule...until the number of people you have brutally murdered reaches, say, 500,000...you don't get hitler comparisons...maybe young hitler...or early hitler...but just plain hitler is left to the devil incarnates. so dick...hope your socks are clean...

a prep basketball star put up 113 points against one of the worst teams in her league this week. she had more than 50 by halftime and her team was up by about that much...they ended up winning by 105 points. what happened to sportsmanship? what happened to coaches being embarrased by running up the score? what happened to the unwritten slaughter-rule? her coach sent her back out after halftime...said she had a chance and so they "let her go for it"...this is just disgusting...moreso than kobe "she-asked-for-it-rough" bryant's 81...atleast that was a close game. this girl (and i refuse to recognize her by name here on principle), her coach and her teammates should be ashamed of themselves...what is accomplished by this? teaching a young girl that the game is all about her...ignoring teamwork...ignoring sportsmanship...showing up weaker athletes? maybe they learned it from the federal government...what happened to role models? good ones...

one more chance to get it all wrong...
