alex jones is one of the loudest “Truthers”, those who believe there are many unanswered questions regarding 9/11, and poses the idea that the government might be behind much of terrorism. hes on scores of radio stations around the country and has several websites. hes an aquarius.
michele malkin is one of the loudest right wing apologists. when she is called an asian ann coulter she says its a compliment, except for the asian part, she prefers to be called an american. it makes sense that she tries to distance herself from her asian background since her most controversial book is titled “In Defense of Internment”. she has two popular blogs, hot air and michellemalkin.com, the latter was most recently successful in causing a fuss about tv chef rachel ray’s scarf in a dunkin donuts ad. she’s a regular on fox news and her newspaper column is distributed around the country. michelle is a libra.
today michelle and alex met face to face outside of the denver mint during the dnc convention. alex did a lot of screaming. michelle held up her little camera and tried to take video of whoknowswhat but quickly retreated as members of the demonstration yelled “kill michelle malkin”.
it wasnt americas finest moment, but it was a glimpse of what happens when extremists meet in the wild.
astrologically the pair are perfect for each other. in reality… not so much.
as you can see in the video there are cameras everywhere. if you go to youtube you can see several different angles of this confrontation.
Nine-year-old Jericho Scott is a good baseball player — too good, it turns out.
The right-hander has a fastball that tops out at about 40 mph. He throws so hard that the Youth Baseball League of New Haven told his coach that the boy could not pitch any more. When Jericho took the mound anyway last week, the opposing team forfeited the game, packed its gear and left, his coach said.
Officials for the three-year-old league, which has eight teams and about 100 players, said they will disband Jericho’s team, redistributing its players among other squads, and offered to refund $50 sign-up fees to anyone who asks for it. They say Jericho’s coach, Wilfred Vidro, has resigned.
But Vidro says he didn’t quit and the team refuses to disband. Players and parents held a protest at the league’s field on Saturday urging the league to let Jericho pitch.
“He’s never hurt any one,” Vidro said. “He’s on target all the time. How can you punish a kid for being too good?”
The controversy bothers Jericho, who says he misses pitching.
“I feel sad,” he said. “I feel like it’s all my fault nobody could play.”
the entire thing is so sad, but probably the photo is the saddest of all because the kid clearly has skillz.
me and welch coached a little league team (above, pictured) of 9 and 10 yr olds and it was probably the best thing i did in college. and yes little kids are scared of fast pitch at that age, but they learn to adjust way faster than youd think. but they have to get in there and dig in.
thats the one thing the parents arent teaching their little angels: life is about swinging away, not quitting.
what are the odds that a dude named adolph and his bros, one with a swastika on a ring, and a bunch of crystal meth, went to colorado with guns, fake ids, had a plan to assassinate barack obama?
what exactly are people afraid from Obama that hasn’t already happened in the last 20 years?
it’ll be interesting to hear these suspects talk about what is going through their heads. and it’s a haunting reminder as to why this wasnt funny at all.
not only did she pretty much reveal all about her life, her desires, her history, her music, her parents,
but she sang her big hit for howard, took off her sweat shirt,
and did it all with humor and a smile and a great attitude.
ive often said that when the Stern Show is at its best its far less about Howard and way more about how the guests react to the king of all media. this was no exception.
and most of all everyone from the hood was there. it wasnt so hot after 3pm – heat wise.
and it was fun to drink with the whole world and eat funnel cakes and chicken on a stick and shrimp tacos and bacon wrapped hot dogs and god knows what else.
yes it sucked that it was $20 and it probably doesnt go to the right place.
but its LA and its 2008. im just grateful that when they shut down sunset its not for some lame movie.
was invaded by not just daily nexus alumni but their offspring. it was hot. almost as hot as the cubs who are now 80-50. dayum.
the best was when we were at woodstocks and these two ucsb seniors started falling in love with the children – and vice versa
so the kids jumped to the other side to be closer to them
then as the girls were leaving, they decided to take the kids with em
it was all fun and games until they held on to the kids maybe a little too long and the mommas got a little nervous that their little angels would move to del playa forever
but that doesnt mean i dont love you. it only means i love you more.
tsar came down from the mountaintop after a far-too-long haitus.
they came down with an agenda, a game plan, a target, and a mission.
their goal was to break yr heart.
“you” being all other hollywood bands who were under the belief that the throne of kings of hollywood rock was vacant.
the dual guitar was back, the american flag cape was back, the full house was back, the girls in their summer clothes were back,
in fact chuck tsar beat his bass drum so hard that the fuzzy hammer thing on the top of the bass pedal shot right through the skin and did a stage dive into the front row of the viper room and said deal with it effers,
rock is back.
opening for veruca salt, tsar introduced a new bass player but the same old attitude which is, here are 10-12 songs better than anything on the radio, here are guitar solos that youve been waiting to hear since the 80s hair glam movement, heres a funny tshirt and a recklessness from the isla vista / replacements days, and deep down heres a majesty that pretty much no one has any more, the missing link that even axl knows is the secret ingredient of the chinese democracy.
why was jeff whalen smiling? cuz bros got it, cuz hes got the band, the girls, and something better than money.
ripping through old tunes and older tunes, tsar introduced nothing new, which was fine. it was a walk around the park, a stroll through familiar territory, a jog through a clean well lighted place, a remembrance of their debut album eight years ago, and a quick glance at the followup rocker.
after completely destroying through an epic version of “wanna get dead” whalen through huge applause whispered “so are you watching the olympics?”
nbc wish they had what the lucky few saw on friday night on the sunset strip.
zona: when are you going to bitch slap some cubs for wasting my nephew Ted’s stellar performance on the mound in his last start?
as a cubfan if i ever were to have bitchslapped any cubs, this wouldnt be the year that i would begin the practice. this team is getting it all together. im very glad that the pitching is relatively strong and deep and healthy.
raymi: why won’t losers on the internet just leave me the heck alone?
when youre on top youre visable for everyone to aim at. when youre topless it’s even worse, id imagine. but you might be forgetting that all the winners on the interwebs love you massively. even pitt. or do you consider him one of the losers?
Andrea: What’s been your favorite birthday so far?
when i turned 90 i was sorta freaking out. it was the first time that i ever felt really old. fortunately i had a hot girlfriend and a lot of friends around. so the friends got my old band, Chopper One, together and i found a Pokey costume and we jammed, and afterwards my girl got us a little hotel room and she dressed up like a dirty girl and we ordered chinese and got wasted and loved each other until the morning. sure beat the time when i turned 21 in florence and stepped in poop.
Pete: Asking Tony… Are you a fan of self-publishing books? Any tips for someone looking at doing it?
im a huge fan of self-publishing books. i cant say i understand the real book publishing world, but i truly love the self publishing world. i have been relatively successful with Cafe Press. the price is right, they’ll ship to your readers, you have full control over every aspect of the book. if you have a relatively popular web site or blog you dont even have to sell them through Amazon, just sell em to the people who already read your words. there are other companies out there like Blurb whose books ive seen and they look like… books. so we live in good days.
timmay!!!!!: have you met xeni? if so, where and when?
i met Xeni while we were panelists on the famous panel where Ev announced that Blogger just got sold to Google. she was beautiful, smart, taller than i expected, very well dressed, and an excellent representative of the blogosphere.
sass: Between which Olympic athletes (sports, or specific) do you think would have the hottest sex?
all these athletes seem pretty hot, but when Blogging becomes an olympic sport id like to see the canadian and american bloggers get to know each other in the olympic village.
Bigg Mike: What was your favorite concert/show ever? How will you celebrate the cubbies world series victory…can i come? why don’t you get a dog? you seem like a dog person. Will obama win?
my favorite concert was the Replacements 1986 at the Roxy. Thelonious Monster opened and it was the best full on hard core rock show id ever seen before or since. and mind you ive seen pretty much every rock band who ever lived.
i hope to be in Chicago when the glorious day happens. right there on clark and addison, drinking an Old Style and letting God know that every other part of my life is extra credit now cuz my life would be complete.
i dont have a dog because i enjoy the freedom to jet to vegas any time i want, i enjoy the freedom to spend the night at a nice girl’s house any time i want, and i enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that when i come home there wont be turds or ripped up items awaiting me. animals should remain jailed in peoples back yards.
Carrie: Do you still read LAist every day? Do you think Zach has been doing a good job as editor?
i do and i love it. not only that but i talk about LAist almost every day at the Times. it remains a great example of what lots of blogs could/should be doing. i dont know what it is like to work under Zach, but the product that i read every day is pretty damn good. i love the LAistorys, i love how the news coverage has improved, but i miss the music coverage dominance. but thats probably my fault because i didnt leave a music editor behind, and music is tougher than most people think, which is why theres so few great music blogs in the world.
Sarah: What do you do when someone in your office doesn’t like you? Give them the evil eye or kill them with kindness? Why are good looking guys the worst ones?
ive had run ins with coworkers before. once i didnt even speak to the dude who sat next to me for months and months. it was juvenile and awkward. and it probably wasnt very healthy physically or emotionally. which is why i say go to lunch with the person and work it out. life is really short. and usually work is hard. no need to also have personal issues f’ing things up.
pretty boys are the worst because they dont have to work for it and makes them cocky. the only person who has been able to pull off cockiness is kanye. and maybe michael jordan.
lindsay: what’s your favorite restaurant in la? you can only pick one. also, who’s a bigger asshole: john edwards or eliot spitzer?
contrary to popular belief, ive got no love for john edwards. i believe in this very blog i gave him a hard time for cockblocking the chances of either the first female president or the first black president. if i recall i gave him a hard time for being a young white pretty boy with a dying wife at home and possible history was happening in his own party and he wanted to stick his … nose in it. now that he admitted to cheating on said dying wife, i say hes the bigger ahole.
my favorite restaurant is Kanpai on lincoln near the airport. great sushi. expensive though.
adriel: ooh i really like sarah’s question about coworkers. i’ve got a couple of em making my undies bunch these days. what’s one of the most important things i can teach my boy right now?
teach him how to dance, how to cook, and the importance of reading books. if he can learn to love each of these he will have a line of women around the block waiting for him.
but that doesnt mean i dont love you. it only means i love you more.
lets rock.
