Accept it

The Following is a list of things that we should just all accept. There is no room for dispute on these issues, they are facts and the sooner society accepts it, the better off we all are.

1) The Rutgers Women's basketball team are a nappy headed bunch of Hoes. Their attitude to the whole Imus situation just proves it. They could have said, "We were flattered to be insulted by such a well-known crotchety old windbag" and that would have been the end of it, but no, they had to act offended and hurt. Guess what girls, athletes get insulted. All the time. It goes with the territory. Don't whine about how women's sports aren't taken seriously and then cry when you are treated like other athletes. You should be thanking Don Imus, because no one had ever heard of your team before, and now you are getting a mountain of free publicity.

P.S. The joke was also funny.

P.P.S. The media are such hypocrites. I hope Imus signs with Fox or Sirius and makes a ton of money. The man runs a ranch for CHILDREN WHO ARE DYING OF CANCER. Doesn't that earn the man a little slack?

2) Al Sharpton is a horrible human being who quit representing the African American community a long time ago. He represents only himself and would throw his own mother under a bus if he thought he could benefit from it. The man has incited race riots for his own benefit and people are dead because of him. What does it take for this guy to lose credibility? Don't even get me started on what he said about the Duke Lacrosse team.

3) Speaking of which, can we agree to learn from the Duke debacle and try and actually treat people like they might be innocent until they are actually proven guilty? Can we also learn that sometimes people lie about having been victimized, and we should remain skeptical of all accusations until ALL the evidence is in. I know people hate to hear this, but the cornerstone of the legal system is the idea that it is better for 10 guilty men to go free, than for one innocent man to go to jail.

4) Rocky Balboa is just a great freaking movie and if you didn't tear up at some point in the movie, well, then elves have covertly entered your room at might, removed your heart, and replaced it with a stone. I may like it better than Rocky 4, but I'm undecided. And if Stallone used HGH, well crap, pass me Barry Bonds' leftover needles cause Sly is 60 and he's freaking ripped.

5) The true pioneers of music in the 90's were not Nirvana, Green Day, or even Pearl Jam, but Milli Vanilli. They didn't write their own music or perform their own vocals, much like most of the artists you see on MTV today.

6) This season of Lost has been hit and miss. Paolo and Nikki were the island equivalent of nipples on the batsuit. Horribly integrated and ill-conceived from the get go. It feels like finally, 14 episodes into the season stuff is finally starting to happen. I love what they've done with Locke, and Juliet is frightening, pathetic, and beautiful, all at the same time.

7) There is no way the Padres make the playoffs as anything higher than a wildcard. Yes, I believe that they can make the wildcard with no hitting and with David Wells as the only lefty on their pitching staff. I also believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny now leave me alone.

8) Bono has gotten lazy. I'm sorry, I like Window In the Skies, but Bono tried to use the word "Rhapsodize." Are you freaking kidding me? That's not a word, Bono. You are the biggest star in rock and roll and you couldn't come up with a better word than that? You make a gazillion dollars a year, spring for a better rhyming dictionary.

9) Avril Lavigne is not good music. I don't know who's buying her albums, but stop it, it's just not funny any more. It's not funny to keep encouraging her. Memo to Canada: You used up your allotment of Rock and Roll Mojo with Rush, so stop trying.

10) There's no way the cheerleader on Heroes is 16. It's just not possible. Kelly Kapowski thinks she's lying.

That's it kids, finals are fast approaching but I hope to still update. Peace.

I agree with about 85 percent of what you say are facts. Paulo and Nikki are the Poochies of Lost. Its a good thing they died a horrible death. Sharpton is a windbag, Imus is a loser, etc. etc.

Good luck on finals.

Yeah, I'm down with that too. I agree with Kelly - not 16. But i don't care... it's accepted.

Rocky Balboa should be required viewing for all 10th grade students. They could then write an essay discussing life lessons taught in the show. Hey, it'd be better than reading Catcher in the Rye again - ridiculous book!
