The Meme is a Lie

One of the memes put forth by the media has been that Jared Loughner Fell Through The Cracks.

Cracks are small and happen in walls and sidewalks and rocks. Jared did not fall through any cracks. Arizona opened the barn door wide, and he walked through. When the walls come tumbling down from neglect and ideology, you don't get complain about cracks in the debris.

This is a crack:



Arizona is not a brick wall of hope and love. Here is the "crack" Jared slipped through...


And here is the other crack he walked through:


Dear Americans,

Don't blame the "system" for Jared. You dismantled the system. Cracks require a wall.

The Tears of a Clown

Jeff Pearlman is angry! Hulkish anger! Anonymous commenters have said rude things to him. Jeff, being a confident man, tracked down two of his commenters and called them and made them cry. Jeff is manly.

Tracking down my online haters - CNN.com

Go up to the search window on the top left...type in Spaceman, or Gary Bell. Take a gander at the hate mail. Do you think I really care what these people think? Grow a pair Jeff and drop a ball. I don't read your stuff because you write about sports, but I will say here that you are a fucking retard. Feel free to call me. If you can't find my number ('cause I'm not stupid like your readers), I'll provide it for you if you drop a comment here. But, before you call, make sure you follow every person who gives you the finger during your work commute. Make sure you accost anyone you don't know who says anything you don't like. Follow the crazy guy on the corner home and accost him. Yell at the dude with 9 items in the express line. Man up you fucking whiner. Then call me.

I guess I am a red lantern.

A Face For Radio, And A Voice For Text

Hooray! I ruined another podcast. The Allyourbasecast crew were kind enough to have me on again, and again I was not stellar. Fair to middling. Maybe. Luckily, Brian was effed up on Red Bull and had to be tranquilized to keep the show under two hours. Do check them out...the kids are smart and know their stuff. Me? I was the fat kid picked last for dodgeball this week.
