Another Proud University Bows to the NCAA

The Arkansas State Indians are changing the name of their mascot. The NCAA mascot Gestapo has ruined the identity of another University in the name of political correctness.

I'm happy that not everyone at ASU is pleased about this forced change (from the above linked article):
“None of us like this,” said committee member Bill Keedy, a former Newport High School football coach and a radio announcer for ASU football games. “We think the NCAA is ‘hostile and abusive.’”

I do as well, Mr. Keedy. And may I suggest a perfectly watered-down mascot name? Arkansas State Native Americans? Arkansas State Vegetarians? Nah, maybe not. I'm sure the marketing firm will come up with a gender-neutral, environmentally-friendly, non-confrontational mascot...

Trent Despot

“Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

So says Trent Lott (Despot - I'm coining the term today), Senator from Mississippi and arbiter of modern political speech and thought in America...

Talk Radio, you are free to use the term Trent Despot free of charge, as long as you give proper credit!

You Look Like a Fine, Up-standing Young Man, I Think You'll Do

I haven't posted lately, due to the fact that I've been working, riding my motorcycle, and taking care of my family... Generally trying to be a responsible human being. On the other hand, check out this story from right here in good ol' Southeast Missouri:

Who's Your Daddy? Paternity Battle Between Brothers

My favorite quote from the article is this: "I want to go to the Supreme Court," Raymon told ABC News. "If they can't prove it's me then they should throw it out of court." And as for the child support, he said, "The state should eat it." Ah yes. The State should eat it. Great logic. Irresponsible Ass.
