Houston Comets Move, I Stay Home

The Comets are moving from Toyota Center to Reliant Center.

And I'm staying home.

I'm sad. And I'm angry.

I can't be mad at the owner, Hilton Koch... it's Houston's fair weather fans that are ultimately to blamed.

Karma

We've grown accustomed to the flippant (yea arrogant) demeanor of O.J. Simpson. And today's mugshot is no different.

Splashing his own self in the media with all sorts of admissions, reveling in his 'sting operation', the possibility of criminal accountability (and why would it, based on past history) hasn't, even in the tiniest way, twinged his compulsively narcissistic (to the point of sociopathic) view of the world.

Booked today on multiple felony charges, including two counts of robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit a robbery, burglary with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and coercion.

From what I've read, Las Vegas, NV law enforcement dots their i's and crosses their t's prior to issuing an arrest warrant. And with recorded footage of every inch of every casino, they can likely make their case, easily. It is unlikely that a Size 12 Bruno will be in question.

Conviction of the most stringent charge could bring a 35 year sentence. And he'll likely be held without bond, based on the fact that he's a flight risk (helloooo!).

Michael Con-Vick

In light of the likely upcoming plea deal, here's hoping Vick serves enough time to become known as a 'con-vick'!

Cheers to another great cartoon by Gary Varvel!

Michael Vick: The Jury

While I would relish the thought of Michael Vick facing a jury of his 'pee-ers', I'm not naive. He'll accept a plea bargain to assure that ALL of the facts aren't made known to the public.

I find comfort in knowing that there is that other Juror, to whom he will one day answer.

Don't forget that DOG spelled backwards...

I really needn't expound further upon my thoughts related to Michael Vick's "alleged" heinous and despicable activities (but I probably will... how can I help but?).

This cartoon by Gary Varvel speaks volumes. as it contrasts sociopathic narcissism with the sentimentality and humanization of animals, dogs in particular.

Back Row from the left: Scooby Doo, Goofy, Underdog, Astro (from the Jetsons). Front Row from the left: Snoopy, Droopy, Grimmy (from Mother Goose and Grim comic strip) and Ren (from Ren and Stimpy animated TV show).

*The one plus to having this cartoon sent to me by email is that I discovered a talented artist with an extraordinary blog. Check it out!

Condi and the NFL

The NFL might have lured me back, but no...

Ancient Greek Basketball

To compare skating, skiiing and the luge... to the ancient Greek sport of basketball is ludicrous!

Restored Faith: Phelps Gives up Spot to Teammate

Phelps is a class act... and a team player!

In a world of bad news, this is will restore your faith in mankind.
