After awhile you just kind of get tired of it. Day after day, more and more mainstream media opinion on that horrible Michael Phelps and his bong smoking and how he’s supposed to be a role model and oh, my god, what about the children???
Oh, put a sock in it you clowns.
Michael Phelps didn’t lose his deal with Kellogg’s because he sucked on a marijuana pipe. He lost his endorsement because the brain-dead media made an issue out of something that stopped being an issue in 1965. Kellogg’s couldn’t take the heat. (I’ll never eat Frosted Flakes again, you gutless cereal-flogging swine.)
What decade is this anyway? Marijuana should be legal for goodness sake. I thought we stopped worrying about marijuana — for anything other income tax evasion — about 1975.
Let’s cut the B.S. There is nothing on the planet worse for society, or for one’s health, than beverage alcohol. However, for these Scotch-slurping media giants, booze is fine, but that old wacky tabacky? It must be stopped.
Drunken brainless hacks.
The worst recession in decades is upon us. People are losing their jobs by the factory load (my buddy Marty York and EVERY ONE OF HIS COLLEAGUES at Metro Canada were laid off this past week) and yet, the mutton heads in the international sports media were more concerned about a kid being a kid. Oh yeah, and they were also concerned about how they might be able to ruin the kid’s life. Just for fun.
Used to be the mainstream media stood for something. It went after crooked politicians and the hypocrisy of every day life. Sadly, that’s long since passed. Here in Winnipeg, the MSM doesn’t even cover question period at the Legislature anymore.
Fact is, the ONLY thing the mainstream media does well these days is hurt people. Even if those people don’t deserve to be hurt.
This Michael Phelps witch hunt smells almost as bad as the MSM’s last great witch hunt — the Duke Lacrosse case. And we all know how bad that one stunk.

By the way, here’s our Stat of the Day, sent along by a regular reader. (by the by, we checked his numbers): The New York Yankees’ starting pitching staff this season — C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte, Chien-Ming Wang and Joba Chamberlain — will be paid $44 million. The Minnesota Twins’ starting pitching staff this season — Scott Baker, Francisco Liriano, Nick Blackburn, Kevin Slowey and Glen Perkins — will be paid $2.4 million.
Huh? Sorry, can’t come up with anything more clever than… Major League Baseball is stupid.
