A lot has changed in my life since I started this and started garnering a tad bit of attention, so naturally that's gonna be reflected in my future posts. But don't get it twisted.

So that cut down a lot on the time I had to just sit around and surf the net for stuff to comment on.

I know I'm not the only one who thinks that this is fucked up. One of my initial thoughts after seeing this was is it just my imagination or have incidents like this been on the rise since November 4? Or maybe they are just being reported more since then.

I felt like posting but I don't have anything in particular to write about that I'm not saving for the next Wank. The Bucks are . . . being the Bucks. They're 7-9, 4-6 in their last ten still bottom of the Central.

This is why I often blog while drinking, but seriously the Pack did enough last Sunday to win the game against the Vikings and then again they didn't.

And we'll be seeing a lot more of this for the rest of the season if the Packers, or maybe more specifically Ted Thompson, can't find a way to shore up this collapsed run defense.

As a commenter to the article noted this makes good business sense because the cap hit for his salary will come this year instead of in 2009. His production has fallen significantly over the past few years but it still is sad to say goodbye to a true Packer stalwart.

How do you blow an 11 point lead with 7 minutes to go in the fourth quarter???!!! Well the Badgers just showed us how. Inept mincing coaching decisions, timid play calling, playing a 'prevent' defense with corners giving 10 yard cushions instead of going with what got you the lead in the first place, and poor clock management.

The Brewers struggled valiantly against their streak of subpar performances, but finally succumbed to the will of a Phillies team that was playing pretty good ball and is now in the World Series.

Please forgive if you were looking for a quicker follow up post on Mr. James T. Harris, but I was thinking since he has become (for the moment at least) the face representing all Black Milwaukeeans to the nation (and I'm only barely exaggerating) I had to take the time to break this brother down properly.

What an embarrasment to the African American population of Milwaukee. There's nothing wrong with supporting whoever you want to vote for, this goes beyond that. The mudslinging in this campaign so far has already been thick and he's calling for more of it.

This is the final straw. I was kind of trying to stay above the fray regarding the presidential election that is now less than a month away for several reasons. One of which is there are so many other blogs out here in the diaspora that do a tremendous job of dropping social commentary like the Field Negro, Jack and Jill Politics, Fackin' Truth Blog, etc. that I feel inadequate.
