Fare Thee Well Stephen Colbert

Last week we lost the most witty, clever and informative TV personality. Stephen Colbert is leaving to take over David Letterman’s job. It will be a blow to many young people who prefer to get the news from comedians instead of major news propaganda corporations.

Is Colin Kaepernick Regressing?

Harbaughs biggest mistake was doing such a good job that the
expectations were unrealistic. Hopefully, the Niners will luck
out and get a monster trade. John Gruden was traded for two first
round picks and two second round picks.... I'm just sayin......

It was a sad weekend for Bay Area football fans. The Niners were officially eliminated from the playoffs. After three straight NFC title games this will be the first early off season since the Alex Smith era.

Since we live in the "right now" millennium, we are not allowed to have mediocre season without panic, Time to blame the Quarterback!

Police Killings

In light of another "justified" police murder here's a few fun facts. 

In 2013 there were 461 recorded justifiable homicides in America. However, the true number is likely in the thousands because many police departments do not report this data, for obvious reasons.

Those who defend police homicides would say, a thousand plus people a year aint bad right?

Well, let's see how many people the police killed in other comparable countries.

Thanksgiving

I was writing a blog about Oktoberfest when I noticed it’s no longer October, then realized Oktoberfest is actually in September. Since the best American Holiday is just around the corner, I figure this will be a timelier topic.

All National holidays have their pros and cons. Many say Christmas takes the turkey, but the truth is, it doesn't hold a menorah to Thanksgiving.

Why I vote Republican......

There's really only a tiny part about her at the end.
But I couldn't think of any other Republican
that would get clicks.

Before you go cast a Republican vote this mid-term election season ask yourself this, why am I voting Republican?

*Disclaimer comes early today:
This isn't intended to insult. There are a few subtle jabs but all in good fun. Neither is it intended to make an argument for voting Democrat. There’s plenty of reasons you shouldn't vote Democrat.The majority of voters pay little to no attention to politics and are often misled or misinformed by partisan propaganda. I am just really pissed off about the copious amounts of disseminated misinformation throughout the media. I people to know what they are actually voting for.


Here’s a few serious questions you should ask yourself before you cast a vote for a Republican:

Donald Sterling

I was actually in the states for a little and sure am glad that I got to watch some American news because we really know what's important in our country. So I figure I might as well weigh in on the biggest news story of the last decade. Well, this and the missing flight. 

Thank you Supreme Court 

The Voter Rights act and Affirmative Action were put in place to prevent racism. If racism didn’t exist, these laws need not exist. When these laws were struck down by the Supreme Court, they were in essence declaring racism to be a non factor in our society. Isn’t it funny that a week after racism is over the Los Angeles Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, and Fox News and viewers Hero, Cliven Bundy, appear on tape proclaiming racism is alive and kicking while pimp slapping the Supreme Court.

Super Bowl Preview XLVIII, My Version

The Super Bowl is around the corner which means after Sunday we won't have much to look forward to until March Madness. There isn't a whole lot to preview so before I get to the game here’s a few of my lingering end of the season thoughts.

Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin allegedly stole one of Bob Kraft’s Super Bowl rings.

Weekly Rant: Marriage Prep and DMV

I had a weekend long marriage prep course for the Catholic Church. It wasn’t the worst thing in the world but the timing was horrible. I missed almost all four football games this weekend. After a weekend of preaching sacrifice, communication, prayer, yada yada yada I was beginning to resent the Lord almighty. And then it happened. Our morning session ended early and I was able to go to a local bar during lunch break to watch the second half of the Niner's game. First time I could remember my prayers being answered. Maybe there is something to this religious stuff.

Only picture I got at the Louvre before my camera ran out of battery

Weekly Rant: R.I.P Mandela 12-11-13

Just as the world was getting over the loss of Paul Walker we lose another historical figure, Nelson Mandela. I won’t wax poetically about the impact he had on the world because the new coverage of Mandela over the last 48 hours should suffice.
I only wish that there won’t be any more famous deaths in the coming weeks but unfortunately it’s a scientific fact that they come in three’s.
A movie about Manela will be released in the US on Christmas day. The conspiracy theorist in me says that this could be one of the greatest publicity stunts in history.

Weekly Rant 2: Welcome Home

I just got back to Canada from travelling Europe for 2 months. I had a good time visiting the old country and visiting friends. It always amazes me how much more scenic it is than in the States. There are so many beautiful old buildings, churches and historical sites. It makes States seem lame by comparison.

Weekly Rant 1: Berlin

This is the first edition of my weekly rants. I usually do not plan ahead what I’m going to blog but I noticed a common theme in most entries. I have a lot to complain about. So, along with my rant, I’ve decided to list the top 5 things that piss me off each week. Here goes:

George W. Mission Accomplished

The George W. Bush library and museum opened today. Why would they do it 10th anniversary of when President George Bush famously and heroically landed on an aircraft carrier and announced mission accomplished in Iraq? You would think that they wouldn't want to bring attention to one of the worst decisions and disasters in Americas history right?

First Gay NBA Player Jason Collins

Current NBA player Jason Collins came out of the closet on Monday. Although there's a good chance he will be former NBA player Jason Collins in the near future, I still commend him for forcing the country to confront what the next step up the ladder towards homosexual acceptance will look like. (He may never play another game in the NBA because the last couple seasons he averaged more turnovers than points or rebounds; so this is more of an assist for a more "important" player to come out).

Overrated: Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony is playing the best basketball of his career and the Knicks are the hottest team in the NBA. That being said; This a perfect time to blog about him being overrated. Unlike most lame sports “analyst”, I’d rather not just say someone is "clutch" when they win and "can’t close" when they lose.I could have posted this when the Knicks stunk in the playoffs last year but I prefer to go after players when they have the opportunity to prove me wrong.

But this never happens. When I write about overrated players it isn’t because I want them to be. It is just an undeniable truth. 

See my previous posts:

Overrated: Derrick Rose

Sequestration

I apologize for all the political blogs lately but I've been busy planning and executing Mexico's annexation of yours truly. Hopefully leaving the States will help me get my mind off the pinheads that run my old country.

Does the British system work better than ours?

Two weeks ago Britain’s parliament voted in favor of legalizing gay marriage. While this particular law has no real effect in America there are a couple glaring differences that must be noted:

1. British Conservatives voted 127 in favor to 136 against.
2. No Conservatives used the argument that if gay people are allowed to marry then who’s to stop people from marrying their pets.

The fact that you have heard the second point used as an argument in America goes to show how many stupid people reside in our country. That being said I want to focus more on the first point. Mainly that conservatives actually did their job and didn't just vote exactly the same as their cohorts.

Side Note: I know nothing of British Parliament. While these results make me think that they are leaps and bounds ahead of the American democratic process, they still have a long way to go when it comes to food and dentistry.

Super Bowl XLVII Preview, My Version

Welcome to my first annual Super Bowl Preview Extravaganza!

The 49ers are making their first return to the Super Bowl in almost 20 years. That might seem like a long time to you youngsters, but that's nothing for those of us that were around when the Niners first joined the NFL, ironically in 1949. That is, until an up and coming coach named Bill Walsh was joined by a young QB from Notre Dame. The rest is history.

End of the World

Getting some stretching in atop the Pyramid of the Sun
While taking in the view of the Pyramid of the Moon
Where some of the Mayans used to kick it
and the Aztecs later named this the Birthplace of the Gods

With the pending end of the world looming I figured I might as well take a few minutes for one last blog post.


Considering the fact that I can usually pontificate endlessly on impertinent matters, I have surprisingly little to say about our eminent deaths. I’ll just share some things I will be doing that you should be doing too:

Massacre in Connecticut

Edit: If you are going to criticize anything I've said. I ask you to please read the whole post first.

Last night I was getting ready for the Niners game when there was a moment of silence for the massacre in Newtown.  I took this as my cue to hit the restroom right before kickoff. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for moments of silence so this part isn't really my complaint.

Quick Digression: I hate during moments of silence when someone decides to cough about 5 seconds into it. I want yell at them, “what the hell is your problem, you couldn't not make any noise for 10 seconds?”, except I know people would then get pissed at me.

Obama tearing up after Friday's murders

But I digress back. What I really want to talk about is how I was pumped to watch the biggest game of year and after 3 minutes of football NBC cut away to the President’s Second speech. Not only did I miss a good 15 minutes of the game but I was forced to sit in a silent bar and listen to a socialist wax poetically about tragedy and the communal good. All I wanted to do was stand up and shout, “change it back to the freaking game”. Is that wrong?

What I'm not looking forward to during Thanksgiving

3 Things about Thanksgiving that piss me off:









1. Travel Updates

You can expect to catch a few dozen segments this week about crowded airports. I’m guessing, and this is just a guess, that every one of these segments will have the following:
