Man oh man, has the NCAA/FBI/Sports agents investigation turned into an absolute shitshow.  The NBA will soon be posturing. And several players are dumping the agents involved, probably hoping to avoid some extra scrutiny of their youth “career” and the money they were given. Look for there to be bigger fish to fry than even Rick Pitino, who I just so happened to call out when the whole thing first started to unfold and who has been unceremoniously terminated, effectively anyway since the school has to formally fire him after 10 days and a meeting of the school admin.

Across the pond, they played the JV version of the European Championship. Everton continued to be unimpressive while Arsenhole have adjusted well to Thursday matches.  Elsewhere, Bayern have shitcanned Ancelotti after his squad got demolished at PSG earlier in the week. I hope they don’t come calling on Klopp, because even though he forgot you have to defend the last third of the field, he’s brought some excitement to Anfield.

Texas beat Iowa State. How the hell did such  once-great program get resigned to football on a Thursday?  What strange times are these? Perhaps MENSA Tom will get things turned around soon.

The Brew Crew won and are now two games back of the idle Rockies with three to go.  They have a series left with the Cards while the Rockies are facing the Dodgers.  Unfortunately, neither of those teams have anything of substance to play for. Especially there Dodgers, who will be playing more to set their pitching staff up for the postseason rather than pad their stats.  The Twinks fell to the Indians. And the Astros won to remain just one game back in the chase for home field and also one game from 100 wins, which would put three teams over the threshold in one season, which is a rather uncommon event.  Yankees lost. Nationals won. Cubs won. White Sox won (for Swissy!). And thats about it.  The regular season wraps up this weekend. Then its on to the sweet, sweet playoffs. Where the Dodgers will do their usual tank job and the Nationals will follow suit, leading to a Cubs-Indians World Series rematch, which I don’t necessarily want to see since I want my Astros there but which I expect because Cleveland are just toying with people now and the Cubs are relatively hot. But I’m wrong more often than not when it comes to picking sports, so we will have to wait and see.

OK, enough of that rubbish. On to…the links!

Looks like the left are pissed that Donald Trump’s DOJ have subpoena’d FB info on 6,000 anti-Trump activists. This is almost like weaponizing the IRS and then feeding donor information to interest groups in order to harm political activists that happen to be conservative and wish to remain anonymous in their giving.  I was pissed at that and I’m pissed at this.  Let’s see how Team Red and Team Blue react.  Somehow I doubt it will be with any form of consistency.

Chicago politician Mel Reynolds found guilty for a third time on tax evasion charges. He’s also been jailed for being a pederast and for having some serious porn in Zimbabwe.  His pederasty and one of the tax evasion charges were commuted by none other than Bill Clinton, which would pretty much tell you his political affiliation since the Sun-Times didn’t think it was important enough to mention.

Julian Assange understands how to use leverage.  Sure, he’s become a grandstanding weirdo lately, but you’d do the same if you were stuck indoors in the same building for several years knowing you’d either get assassinated or black-bagged the minute you tried to leave.

At least 22 are dead as a stampede occurred in a Bombay train station.  People were trying to stay out of the rain on a pedestrian bridge and panic set in when people feared the bridge would collapse.  The Indian government said they expect the toll to rise.

I’m no super-genius.  I don’t necessarily know what the world needs.  But I sure as fucking shit know what the world DOESN’T need!!!!!!!!!!!!

More social signalling bullshit. This time aimed at Melania Trump who dared to do something as crass as donating some books to a library. FTA (emphasis mine):

“Cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, and Detroit are suffering through expansion, privatization, and school ‘choice’ with no interest in outcomes of children, their families, their teachers, and their schools,” she wrote. “Are those kids any less deserving of books simply because of circumstances beyond their control? Why not go out of your way to gift books to underfunded and underprivileged communities that continue to be marginalized and maligned by policies put in place by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos?”

Lolol. Sure thing there, dipshit.  Its privatization and school choice that’s causing the suffering. No way its the systematic retention of shitty teachers and union-first policies that’s driven the school systems in those Dem-controlled cities for the last several decades.  It’s all Betsy DeVos and her proposals that haven’t even been implemented there.  My guess is the people in those cities’ school boards and local government hope this remains under the radar. Because if Trump gets wind of it, he’ll be hammering the real cause of the problems there: teachers unions, politicians who care more for donations than primary education, and more teachers unions.

Talk about some bad luck.

OK, I don’t know what Tundra was hoping for.  I almost went with “You’re the best”, but couldn’t keep from this badass motherfucker of a song (and video!) to end the week.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends. I’m gonna build a fence and drink some beer. In no particular order.

Well half of the headlines on every sports website are about political posturing bullshit. And that’s even with a freaking HUGE FBI investigation leading to the arrest of four assistant college basketball coaches following a three-year fraud investigation.  Louisville and Rick Pitino appear to be at the center (or close enough to it). So we’ve likely seen him coach his last game. I guess he can dedicate more time to banging assistant coaches wives and ignoring his other assistants planning stripper and whore parties for recruits. No offense to Louisville fans here, but you guys have great facilities and great boosters. Yet you also have two sleazy motherfuckers as the face of your two highest-profile sports. I don’t get it.

In baseball, the Rockies won as did the Brewers. Their wild card lead sits at 1.5 games with 4 and 5 games remaining respectively.  The Cubs failed to lock up the division as they fell to the Cardinals. The Yankees won. Team Canada beat the Red Sox. The Angels won, but its too-little, too-late for them. The D-backs stayed hot. The Dodgers are getting warmer. And the Astros continued to sizzle as they chase 100 wins on the season. And the Twinks beat the Indians to all but lock down the last AL Wild Card spot.

In soccer, Sevilla won and Liverpool tied, again, to move into the top two spots in Group E. Man Shitty and Napoli are proving to be the class of their group. Real Madrid pasted Dortmund and Spurs beat Aepol to take control of Group H. And Porto and Beskitas won their Group G matches.  More games today across Europe and I’m sure several of you Glibs will be tuning in.

I’m not gonna lament the whistle-happy NHL refs every morning. Especially today since I didn’t even see highlights last night as I was watching the A-Team fuck shit up and save the life of a former North Vietnamese prison cook who helped save their lives.  Maybe tomorrow. But today’s sports update is done and now its time for…the links!

After Roy Moore trounced Luther Strange in the Alabama GOP primary yesterday, expect the wave of GOP retirements to begin.  The former judge and fan of Trump’s populist rhetoric was the canary in the coal mine for establishment types. And the writing is one the wall.  Trump, who surprisingly campaigned for Strange, will probably support every single outsider challenging incumbents now and we are looking at another 1994 or 2010 dead in the eye on the right side of the aisle.  Team Blue are celebrating the loss of a candidate supported by the president. But his support was more an overture to the GOP establishment. You can expect that to stop now, after the Strange loss and the establishment screwing him over on Obamacare repeal promises they’d made for the last 7+ years. You think I’m crazy? Then tell me why Bob Corker just announced his retirement in Tennessee last night.

Way to shit the bed, Harvard. Who is on the board that awards fellowships, the Marx Brothers?

San Diego is a really cool place with a lot of hot chicks. But don’t hook up with the ones that are yellow. The city and county are blaming each other. As if government has ever been the cause of or solution to diseases (with apologies to conspiracy theorists who believe they invented AIDS for myriad reasons).

Remember that crazy Florida (Muslim) Man who killed a pair of his roommates because they ridiculed his new faith?  Probably not, since it was treated as local news.  Well his surviving roommate, who just so happens to be a National Guardsman and neo-Nazi at the same time, is expected to plead guilty today to storing bomb-making material in the apartment. Cops came across it as they were cleaning up the mess how former roommate made. So very, very Florida Extremist Man of both of you.

A lot of bills are sitting on Jerry Brown’s desk awaiting his signature. But none are as important as the one which will allow the state to rewrite biological facts to reinforce the deluded people who deny their own simple biology.

What the fucking fuck?!?!?!?!?!

Harris County, TX has an ambitions plan. I, for one, don’t see how this could possibly be abused and think its good financial stewardship of my taxpayer money and is in no way rewarding people who refused to plan appropriately for a natural disaster while living in a flood plain.

Yeah, I know I’m posting a lot of links today. But I keep coming across extra good ones. So sue me if you don’t want to read about a 27 year old cold case murder committed by a clown being solved.

Continuing with this week’s theme…

Giddy-up, Glibs!

The California Angels did a little bit to help out the idle Twins last night by falling to the Chicago White Sox. The Twins have all but locked down the second AL Wild Card slot and should face the (hated) Yankees on the road some time next week to see who will play the Indians, barring them losing their 2-game AL overall lead to the Astros, who humiliated the Rangers last night. The Red Sox are on cruise control for the last week as they really can’t catch the Astros unless some crazy shit happens. They’ll probably just work on getting their pitching rotation down for the ALDS.

Over on the senior circuit, the Dodgers have played like a bag of shit for some time now but still managed to top to 100-win mark for the first time in over 40 years. They’ve got home field by the throat and will face the winner of the D-backs vs ?????. I can’t tell if anybody wants that second NL Wild Card spot, as the Rockies fell again last night while the Brewers were off.  The Cards also fell to the Cubs to push those lovable losers to the brink of a division championship. The Nats won their division some time ago and will have home-field in their NLDS series with the Chicago squad.

I hope that sets you up for the last six days of the regular season.

Elsewhere, lots of preseason hockey was played. Lots of slashing penalties were called. And lots of empty seats were in arenas where all of this happened. And Arsenhole won a dreaded Monday EPL fixture. Oh, and its Presidents Cup week. So GO USA! Beat The Rest Of The World (minus Europe)!

Let’s try to take it up a notch and go to the wayback machine for a blast from the past in…the links!

Detroit heard a rumor that St Louis was gunning for the crown. They weren’t gonna have some other city take away their claim to fame.

Sometimes you have to hike your taxes by $5 billion a year in order to tackle a budget shortfall. But, um, yeah. This is Illinois so that tax hike was like sticking a band-aid on a hollow-point exit wound.

Hey, man, its Oakland. What do you expect to happen? Its pretty damn irresponsible for a police department to not have a storage policy for all firearms left in a car. So I guess under the totality of the circs and the policy being unclear, this officer will not be held accountable for his negligence.

Hey doc, can you please take a look at this sore throat and cough I’ve developed? And then you and me can go behind that building over there and you can give me a handy?

I saw the byline and just couldn’t resist. And its actually a terrific piece. Enjoy!

PETA will honor a Houston man who died while trying to save his sister’s cat during Hurricane Harvey. I’m unclear on the details but I am pretty sure they’ll honor him by rounding up 100 local animals and putting 98 of them to death in each major American city.

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Get it on the red line overload today, friends. Out there on the edge.

What a crazy weekend for football.  Alabama steamrolled an overhyped Vanderbilt. Clemson struggled until late and then rolled. Same for TTUN. USC took care of Cal in a really fun game to watch. Oklahoma topped Baylor in a game that was not fun to watch. Washington looks like the real deal. So does Va Tech. I’m not sold on UGA just yet even though they wore out Mississippi State. Florida stuck a dagger in the heart of UK fans (for the thirtysomething-th year in a row. The Buckeyes drilled UNLV. Florida State dropped to 0-2. TCU beat Okie State in a great game. And finally, Penn State won on a last second TD at Iowa (dammit!).

And yes, there was also football played on Sunday. East Carolina beat UConn in a conference game I don’t know why they hadn’t played a day earlier.

The Twins sure did pick the right time to reel off four straight wins, eh? They’ve got a vise grip on the final wind card spot, up 4.5 games with 7 left to play. The Red Sox took down the BIG RED MACHINE. The Nats won. The Orioles did as well. The Cards faltered at the wrong time. As did the Brewers. The Rockies won and got a little bit of breathing room over those last two losers. The Astros lost, but they’re more concerned with getting guys healthy for games next week. And the D-backs clinched their playoff spot. The Indians won, of course. And so did the Dodgers.  And if I missed anybody else, sorry.

The EPL games went according to plan this weekend, although there were some tighter games than there should have been (yes, I’m looking at you again Liverpool!). The two teams from that shithole Manchester seem to be the cream of the crop. But there’s a lot of games left to play so I’m not gonna get ahead of myself.

That’s it for sports. Now its time to get down on a knee and pray for…the links!

Some crazy dude goes on a rampage shooting up a church.  An usher takes him down and saves a bunch of lives. No motive given, but its WaPo so you can be sure they’re gonna mention that scumbag Dylan Roof.

Merkel wins in German elections but her party has worst result since WWII. A “far-right” party took 13% of the vote and will now be the third-largest party in the German lower House of Representin.

Milo Yiannopoulos goes to Berkeley for 15 minutes. School claims it had to spend $800,000 because of the visit. Listen, if you’re spending $800 large a month for security on that campus, you need to renegotiate the police budget.

Cook County, IL shit the bed on the soda tax and people are looking for reasons. Maybe “don’t tax your poorest people to death and expect them to take it” would be a good policy, eh Chicago Democrat Political Machine?

Trump administration announces a new limited travel restriction list. Its more racism against Muslims as such fundamentalist countries like North Korea and Venezuela are added.

Here’s some news that Glibs can use.

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! I already want to start kicking ass and its just Monday morning!

Go give it your best today!

The several thousand people who showed up to watch the Rams-49ers, and the hundreds that watched from home got a treat last night as the boys from Los Angeles won 41-39.  In an odd twist, both teams were also eliminated from the playoffs without another squad taking the field. In college, USF beat Temple like a rented mule.

In baseball news, The Cubs came from behind to beat the Brewers for the second night in a row and all but lock down the NL Central. Fortunately for Milwaukee, the Rockies are doing everything they can to help them in the wild card race as they dropped another one to the Padres. The Cardinals topped the BIG RED MACHINE to gain ground. The Dodgers won. As did the Nats The Nats didn’t.  On the junior circuit, The Indians topped the Angels and the Twinks got a much-needed win to stretch the lead to 2.5 games…although that lead is now over the Angels and the Rangers, who doubled up the Mariners.  Hey, the Orioles won a game! KC topped Team Canada. And lastly, the White Sox beat my Astros, who have long since clinched their playoff spot and home field in the Divisional Series.

So that’s sports. And here’s other things in…the links!

Uber is stripped of its license to operate in London over safety fears. Over 40,000 drivers for the service are now losing their income and the millions of passengers a week they carry will have to resort to something else to get them around (like a drunk Wayne Rooney, perhaps). Also, no word whether every Muslim in town with a license will have their cars taken away.

President Trump’s racist travel ban temporary travel restrictions from a few countries other Presidents have restricted travel from is set to expire Sunday. And people are scrambling to figure out what’s going to happen.

Well, um, what the hell did you expect to happen? Is it A: a money grab from the state to help shore up a little of its pension crisis? or B: a simple way to beef up the surveillance state? Or there’s always C: a big bunch of free money to a company connected to a few high-ups in the IDOT?  (Feel free to answer D: all of the above. Its probably right.)

I’m Mister Snow Miser, I’m Mister Snow. Say goodbye to Summer. Because I’m starting to blow.  (With apologies to John Kerry.)

Did you know they had Comicon’s in Africa?  Dis wat dem dey look like in Lagos.

Holy shit, did Maria ever do a number on Puerto Rico. Looks worse than after Hugo.

Its the last day of this theme. And the name of this song seems appropriate.

Hope its been a decent week. And I hope its a better weekend.

The Red Sox have punched their ticket to the postseason with a shutout win over the Orioles.  The Yankees are well on their way to punching theirs as they topped the Twinks. And those guys need to get their heads out of their sphincters and start winning some games. They can’t keep relying on the Indians to beat the California Angels to keep their wild card lead intact. In fact, both teams holding the final wild card spot in their leagues are trying to back into the playoffs, as the Rockies also dropped one but the Brewers were unable to gain ground.  Elsewhere, the Dodgers fell to the Phillies. Team Canada fell to K.C.  The Cards, who are still hanging in the wild card race, took down the BIG RED MACHINE. The Rays dumped the Cubbies. The Nationals beat the Braves. The D-backs won. And the Firstros again topped the White Sox.

More preseason hockey, which I caught for a few minutes in the wrap-around coverage last night. It sure was sloppy. And there sure were a lot of whistles for phantom slashing calls. If this doesn’t change, the games will be unwatchable this season. So, based on their track record, I’m sure the NHL will tell the officials to get even more whistle-happy. And then they’ll do another new TV contract with an even shittier network.

BONUS SPORTS LINK! (thanks, Warty!)It’s from the University of Tennessee, so you know its gonna be retarded. Enjoy.

OK, that’s it for athletic endeavours. Time to drop a little knowledge in…the links!

Never change, Media Matters. Just keep that retarded spin machine going forever. (Trigger Warning: obviously its Media Matters.)

I think Glibs should pool our resources and buy Rolling Stone.  Of course, it means we’d have to stop penning steaming piles of sanctimonious horseshit like this. But that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Puerto Rico is in absolute darkness as Hurricane Maria knocks out power to the entire island. Jesus. That seems just inconceivable to me. And fortunately, a lot of people and businesses there have generators.  But still…Jesus.

A piece on the “opioid crisis” that completely misses the point. How about legalizing the damn things and letting people medicate to ease pain and at the same time, let recreational users get cleaner drugs?  Nah. That would, like, let people be responsible for their own actions. And we can’t have that.

I’m no huge fan of the GOP’s health care bill.  But I did find a silver lining.

I’ve heard of throwing money down the toilet. But dis em gettin’ big time ridiculous!

Crude oil tops $50 a barrel for first time in more than two months. So expect gas to stay above $2.25 a gallon for the foreseeable future.

Go ahead and dance. And enjoy some movie clips from one of the greatest films of all time.  How it didn’t sweep the Oscars will be one of the greatest travesties of the modern age.

Have a wonderful day, friends. The weekend is almost upon us.

The steroid era ain’t got nothing on the live ball era.  MLB just broke a record for most home runs hit in a season and with around 12 games to go per team, it looks like they’ll crush it.  But they swear the ball’s not juiced. Sure thing.

There were some crucial games last night and a few teams playing out the string.  The Red Sox topped the Orioles. The Yanks beat the Twinks to keep pace. Fortunately the California Angels lost to the still smoldering Indians so that tenuous wild card lead is holding. The D-backs fell, as did the Rockies. And with the Brewers winning, the NL chase is officially red hot. The Dodgers fell to the Phillies. Team Canada beat the Royals. The Cards beat the BIG RED MACHINE. The Cubs won. The Nationals won. And the Astros continue to play solid ball and topped the White Sox.

Nothing else happened on this side of the pond. The League Cup kicked off in earnest yesterday. But with many teams fielding a b-side through the entire competition its not really much to get stoked about.  But preseason hockey is in full swing now, so expect some reports to start dribbling in as thats season approaches.

Alright, are you fired up?  I’m fired up. Let’s all get fired up for…the links!

Gaia must really hate Puerto Rico. Prayers for my friend in Yabucoa and everybody else in the path. She must really hate central Mexico as well. Prayers for everybody between Puebla and Mexico City.

President Trump dished out a blistering speech at the United Nations yesterday.  He took the Nork, Iranian and Venezuelan governments specifically to task and offered up America as an example.  As for the Norks, he said we would destroy them if forced to defend ourselves or our allies from attack. Of course, most of the major media left that last little bit out and are calling the speech terrifying.  But trolls gotta troll.  The memes started coming quickly.

Hey, just be glad he was still there and didn’t start driving people home. (Its not too soon, is it? Nah.)

I’m bring you a double-whammy rom the Bay Area today because they’re both too good to pass up. First, no good deed goes unpunished. Coffee shop robber looks to sue man who subdued him. (WATCH THE VIDEO!!!)  And second, Fremont man bashes baker with baguette. The roll was unavailable for comment.

I wonder if this was covered yesterday or if its new? Jogging woman wey dey always poo-poo for somebody dormot. Either way, its better in a tongue that really grabs the essence of it. Enjoy.

This guy gets it! Taxes are bad. It shouldn’t be a revelation, but at least somebody is saying it.

Start toe-tappin. Then finger-snappin. Then that voice kicks in.

Offer up a prayer to thought to those in Puerto Rico and Mexico, please. And everywhere else that’s had a shit deal the last few days. Thanks.

Man, the NFC East is a joke.  I guess they’ll all pick up some wins against each other, but…wow. Somebody could win that division at 8-8 this year.  The Giants looked as bad last night as the Cowboys did yesterday.  Thankfully that concluded the NFL week 2. It was probably worse than Week 1 to be honest with you.  Let’s hope the quality of play improves soon.

Baseball has some huge series going on in the homestretch. The Yankees topped the Twinks and dropped the Minnesodans to just 1.5 games ahead of the idle Angels in the wild card chase. The Red Sox kept their 3 game lead over the pinstripes by topping the reeling Orioles. The Dodgers dropped the series opener to the Phillies. The Brew Crew inched closer to the Rockies for the second NL Wild Card spot by blanking the Pirates. And the D-backs fell to the Padres in a meaningless game.

Not much else going on yesterday. Although, I’m starting to notice NHL preseason scores on my sports feed.  I’m not quite ready to start posting them here, but the time is coming soon. Until then, enjoy the Hunt For October and the fact that I have no love for the NBA and won’t report on any of that until the playoffs.

Anyhoo, it’s gonna be a long day, so let’s get on with…the links!

Sometimes when its Man vs Nature, man wins.  Sometimes he loses.

There’s a lot wrong with Hobby Lobby. The store layout is awful and their pricing on matting and framing seems a little high. But I gotta say, this is retarded.

What kind of shit is this? Colorado trying to take on Florida and Ohio or something?

What a terrifying story on prosecutorial intimidation. The “paper of record” is acting like its a good thing, but it sure looks pretty fucked up to me when a fishing expedition is coupled with intimidation tactics and more leaks than the Titanic.

Nancy Pelosi found out the hard way that letting DREAMers stay won’t be enough for the other millions of illegal immigrants. Actually, she was probably zonked out on whatever drugs have been making her schizo lately and has no idea what was happening. But the rest of America noticed.

Hurricane Maria don land for di Caribbean and don start to dey hammer Dominica. This one is looking ugly for the Caribbean. Let’s hope it keeps track and stays well east of Florida. Although that could bode poorly for the Carolinas.

This is like, my old maid’s least favorite song in the world.

Have a wonderful day out there, friends.  And if you get triggered, shoot back.

::pours beer out for Bobby “The Brain” Heenan::

OK, now we can start the links.

Down to the last two weeks or so of the regular season in MLB and things are settling…a little bit. The Astros are winning again and clinched the AL West. The Dodgers and Nats played a potential NLCS preview and the Dodgers got the better of it. The Cubs are playing well and are close to locking down the NL Central. The Indians finally lost but then immediately started another win streak. And the AL East is just kinda there with the Red Sox not playing too bad but the Yanks matching them and still sitting a few games back. The Twinks are holding a tenuous 2 game lead for the final AL Wild Card spot and on the senior circuit, the Rockies sit 2.5 games above the Brew Crew.

In college football, Clemson took it to Louisville. Tennessee watched Florida Hail Mary Butch Jones to the super-hot seat. (Just kidding. That probably cost him his job.) Texas forgot how to defend the end of a half…twice, and lost to USC in overtime because of it. The Buckeyes righted the ship a little against Army. Oklahoma rolled. UCLA shit the bed. The Cal Golden Bears (hello, Playa Manhattan) beat Ole Miss as they prepare for USC to come to town. And Vandy beat Kansas State, and possibly the nicest coach in college sports. I’d love to give a Florida State update to the Seminoles out there. And I will if they ever decide to play again.

The NFL had a second weekend filled with boring games. Ravens over the woeful Browns. Panthers over the Bills in an offensive shitshow. Cards rally to top the Colts and avoid an 0-2 start. Titans top the Jaguars. The Chefs top the Iggles. The Patriots drilled the Saints, and the AP/NO relationship is not looking healthy. Da Bears got pasted by the Buccaneers. The Dolphins topped the Chargers. The Raiders continue to impress by grounding the Jets. The Cowboys looked like dogshit while getting hammered at Denver. The Seahawks topped the 49ers in a game America could have done without. The STILLERS tore the Vikings a new asshole. As did the Falcons to the Packers.

I’m sure you guys and gals would rather talk about the Emmys, so I’ll end my weekend sports recap and get on with…the links!

Trump has picked someone to sit on the Federal Election Commission that believes people should be able to spend their money on political speech anonymously. Salon shits its pants at the prospect. I guess they prefer the days of a weaponized IRS and a government that leaks donor information to groups from their “team” so people can chill political expression.

Stephen Colbert was so stunning and brave at the Emmys last night. I know its a shock that he dwelled incessantly on Trump, but it happened. Meanwhile, America watched football.

More rioting/protesting in St. Louis over the weekend. Destroying those businesses sure will show those crooked cops and the rigged justice system. ::smdh::

Marijuana legalization movements in Massachusetts are hitting roadblocks at every turn. And here I thought it was yokels in the south that were holding it back.

Georgia Tech police shoot knife-wielding student in bizarre encounter. The student has died after police shot “them.”

Cops dey don arrest another man in London boom-boom attack. Hey, it would almost seem like they had the guys in their sights before the attack.  Is it ok to say that?

I don’t know if you’re ready for this. But your kids are gonna love it.

Get a good start too the week, friends. That’s what I’m gonna try to do.

OK, Evertonians talking shit about the Reds. What do you have to say for yourselves now? Bitch-ass bitches got rolled. Arsenhole won. And in football played with hands, as God intended, the Texans dumped the Bungles 13-9 in what IO can only imagine was a snooze-fest.  JJ Watt will probably have a hand like Ronnie Lott’s at some point in his career, as he mangled it pretty good but managed to stay in the game. And the ginger QB experiment has proven, once again, that the soulless have no business on the field. In the college ranks, Boise State won on that awful looking smurf turf. May God have mercy on their souls.

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you are aware that the Cleveland Indians are on one hell of a roll. A record-breaking one, to be exact.  And last night they faced a serious challenge from the Royals, needing a 2 out run in the bottom of the ninth to tie it up and then walking it off in the tenth. to run their streak to 22 games.  They burned through a lot of staff though, so I see them struggling to win tonight.  We’ll see what happens. Elsewhere, the White Sox pounded the Tigers. The Red Sox beat up on the Athletics. The Yanks kept pace with the beaneaters by topping the Orioles. The Cards beat the BIG RED MACHINE. The D-backs blanked the Rockies and continued playing the best ball in the NL. The Nationals won a meaningless game. So did the Phillies. The Cubbies and Mariners both won. As did the beloved Twinks. And last, but never least, the Astros helped those aforementioned Minnesodans by knocking off the California Angels (yeah, whatever, they’re not from LA).

Unless there are WNBA fans out there, which there aren’t, that’s all for sports.  And now we can move on to…the links!

You know, I was just thinking? What we need now is for that crazy fat bastard in North Korea to stir shit up again. Thanks for obliging, Kim. You nutty fucker.

You know what else I was thinking? That it had been some time since the last asshole set off a bomb or decided to drive into a sidewalk full of people in Europe. Thanks for obliging, whatever asshole did this.  The Amish are yet to make a statement, so we’ll have to wait and see who did it.

The police aren’t nearly as good at ending standoffs as this guy. He’s gonna be my hero for a day. Hey, maybe I should have a “hero for the day” segment.

Sooooooooo, I guess Harvard is transphobic now? LOL, the fun never ends. On the bright side, looks like this will leave more time for those students to learn from the brilliant minds of Sean Spicer and Robby Mook.

Good news for Ghanians with ED. Dem no need travel for treatment no more.

This link is for the space nerds. Cassini’s final photos before crashing into Saturn.  Better than crashing into Uranus, amirite?

Get your funk on. (I hope I finished the week as strong as it started.)

Have a great end to the week…and a better start to the weekend.
