Current Events!!

This story would be a lot funnier if AsianWeek, et al would have just played it off as a joke. As an example, here is how the report really reads:

"Something like this should never have been printed," said Vincent Eng, deputy director of the Asian American Justice Center in Washington, who is not related to the columnist.

If I was the editor, here is how it would read:

"Something like this should never have been printed," said Vincent Eng, deputy director of the Asian American Justice Center in Washington, who is not related to the columnist, but looks just like him (joking!).


Or, this:

Sophie Maxwell, one of the city's top black officials and a member of the city's board of supervisors, said she doesn't believe Eng's column will hurt relations between blacks and Asians in San Francisco.

Would be this:

Sophie Maxwell, one of the city's top black officials and a member of the city's board of supervisors, said she doesn't believe Eng's column will hurt relations between blacks and Asians in San Francisco, because blacks don’t read the paper (joking!)

This is today’s forecast map on the weather channel. I don’t like it (although, there is a big “L” over Kansas, which I can only assume stands for “loser” as in “Bill Self is one.” I do like that.).

“Energy Sweeps out from the SW,” leading a long, white arrow to the “L”?

There’s a “Rich Flow of Gulf Moisture” (Which sounds disgusting.) pointed right toward me?

Can’t you just tell me what the temputure will be? That’s more important than rich moistness to me.

Man punched for refusing to give cigarette

PEORIA - An East Bluff man was punched in the face Sunday afternoon when he refused to give a man a cigarette.

Harold W. Lowery, 52, told police a man approached him about 5:30 p.m. in the 1900 block of Wisconsin Avenue and asked to bum a smoke. When Lowery told him no, the man punched him in the face.

Lowery fell to the ground and briefly lost consciousness, reports said.
He suffered blurry vision after the attack and was treated and released from OSF Saint Francis Medical Center.


If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: Harry Lowery can’t take a punch.

I'm so, so glad Hal is the hitting coach again:

First it was the Hatfields vs. the McCoys. Now it's the Engs and Fangs vs. the Maxwells?

Was that blood on the face of one of the reporters leavings Hal's office after he started throwing crap at them?
 
Yes it was. He got JACKED UP!
 
I totally forgot how awesome Hal's meltdown was. The question is, which one was better, Hal's or Lee Elia's back when he managed the Cubbies? It's a toss-up for me, but I think Elia gets it based on sheer length.
 
Oh, Hal's blow up was classic, but it isn't even in the same galaxy as Elia's. That was the single greatest rant I have ever heard:

"Eighty-five percent of the fuckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A fuckin' playground for the cocksuckers!"
