Sports Post and two New Words
A couple of quick news bits from the sports world and a little commentary. Well okay, just one bit of good news from the sports world and then some commentary.

Joe Gibbs Returns to Coach Redskins!

All of the current excitement over Pete Rose finally admitting that he bet on baseball has goaded me to comment on the situation. First off, Pete Rose shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. He broke the rules and bet on the game. Pretty clear cut rule. Pretty clear he broke it. Second, the guy's not motivated by anything but greed, he doesn't give a damn about the fans or the game, he cares about being a hall of famer because he'll be able to charge more for autographs and appearances. Third, he's a prick who's been lying and lying about lying ever since he was forced out of the game.

Pete Rose shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame, he shouldn't be involved in baseball. A lifetime ban is a lifetime ban, come on Selig, go buy yourself a set of nuts and be a man.

The New Words
Distrance - the mind numbing that happens when you make long distance drives at night and you have to fight for consciousness.

Tediocracy - when the basic act of participating in government is a tedious pain in the ass that accomplishes nothing as the idiots in charge push a full throttle augering in of the nation, that's living in a tediocracy.
