DAILY NEWS -- MARCH 30th, 2010

DATELINE: ABBOTSFORD – In a display of unbelievable juvenile behavior, Jim Playfair, coach of the Abbotsford Heat, went totally fucking ballistic during a game on Saturday night. Yes, this supposed athlete, this supposed professional, got annoyed at a call against one of his players. His reaction? He shattered not one, but two hockey sticks by smashing them against the wall. He even ripped off his fucking jacket, a la The Incredible Hulk, just to remove any doubt that he meant business. Ohhhhh, we are soooo impressed with that display of stupid fucking masculine control. He got fined – no apology, no shame, no worries, because he is a professional. Sorry, but the jack ass should be banned from stepping foot into a fucking hockey arena for the rest of his life. The fact that no one seems to have any fucking perspective on the fact that THIS IS A GAME, not life or death, astounds me. The outcome of a fucking hockey game does not stop terrorists from bombing a Russian subway, it does not save a child from cancer, it does not provide houses for people in Haiti, it does not do anything but apparently provide a grossly over-paid excuse for bad fucking behavior. Mr. Playfair, grow the hell up and act like a man. Sadly, with the support of people like the Abbotsford mayor and the local media, this will do nothing but up the attendance figures for future games. Our society is sick, and getting sicker every day.

DATELINE: EDMONTON – Two years ago, a toddler was sitting eating dinner at the table in her Grandmother’s house when a bullet ripped through the wall, hit her liver and lodged in her spine, where it still is today, and where it will remain for the rest of her life because of the dangers involved with removing it. The person pulling the trigger? An 18-year-old who claimed to be on a month-long high and drunk after getting his $40,000 royalty cheque from the Samson Cree First Nation, and who thought he was opening up on the home of a rival gang member. Yes, this is nothing more than a kid who instantly squanders his money, which is his business, and then uses that as an excuse to totally fuck up other innocent lives. However, that is not the only crime that has me totally steamed: the ass-hat judge decided that the shooting was worthy of a five-year prison term, but the robbery this idiot also committed was worth a six-year sentence. Yes, the smoke, booze, television set or whatever the hell else this little gangster thug stole was worth MORE than the life and well-being of a two-year-old little girl. The judge also awarded four years’ credit to be applied to the sentence because of the two years spent in custody awaiting trial. This, along with the federal parole system kicking in after one-third of a sentence is served, means he could potentially be back out on the streets in… wait for it… about four months. Yes, the justice system totally fucking blows.

DATELINE: CALIFORNIA – “I’m a fortunate gay man.” Sounds like the lyrics for a fucking country and western song, but no, it’s the proclamation of singer Ricky Martin, who has decided it is 'his time' to come out of the closet. The reason for his declaration? Well, duh! He is writing a book, and damn, this is gonna help that puppy fly off the fucking shelves. Really, I hate to be the one to say this, but first, this is no surprise, and second, who gives a shit? Again, I am left asking ‘why is this on my fucking news?’

DATELINE: MICHIGAN – The Hutaree, a group of God-fearing Christian Warriors, hatched up a plan to rid the country of a ‘one-world government’ intent on thrusting too many restrictions on Americans who love liberty. (The irony of this position though, astounds me... the democratically-elected government needs to be brought down by militant thugs who plan to enforce their own definition of liberty and freedom) They will be experiencing a whole new definition of 'liberty loving', at least the nine of them who were plotting to kill a police officer, and then use the funeral for that officer as an opportunity to carry out a terrorist attack on the officers and people attending. It takes a pretty sick fucking person to plan something like this. It takes a whole hell of a lot of hate and intolerance. The fact that this is done in the name of religious duty is even more distressing. Please, someone, find me one incidence of any God demanding that we run out and kill each other, because I don’t believe one of those Gods exists. The spirituality of God is being totally desicrated by the religions of man, and that is the ultimate crime. That we have become so hateful, that we have learned nothing from the experiences of the past, is easily the saddest fucking testament to human kind. So, Ann Coulter, tell me how you propose we keep these people out of society, because these ones didn’t come with flying carpets or camels, just a whole lot of religious fucking rhetoric, fear mongering and hatred, just like that crap you like to spew.

DATELINE: MASSACHUSETTS – In a case that is incredibly disturbing, nine teenagers have been charged with being complicit in the suicide death of 15-year-old Phoebe Prince in January. Prince endured being raped, stalked, harassed, and tormented constantly, both on-line and in person, at the hands of her classmates. School officials, though aware of the problem and despite the fact that most of the harassment occurred on school property during school hours, did nothing. Why they are not being held accountable is beyond me, because its time the bullying was truly dealt with. Six of the teens (four girls) face a long string of offences, including statutory rape and assault. Three girls face delinquency charges, because I guess they were just the protégés. A beautiful young woman, newly arrived in the country, lost her life because of God only knows what burr that happened to be up the asses of some other students. The fact that nothing was done to stop this is appalling. The fact that we live in a society that offers such an unbelievable sense of entitlement to a group of teenagers, that they have the right to prevent someone from attending school or living a life and can prevent it by any means possible, in deplorable. Mr. Playfair of hockey coach temper-tantrum fame should be getting outraged about this sort of thing – not a fucking game. Sarah Palin should be talking about these issues of intolerance and hatred, not drawing crosshairs on the homes of those politically opposed to her and adding to the rage, blame and bullshit. Ann Coulter should be talking about outrage in THIS issue, and not propagating more hate and intollerance by telling people that Muslims should be banned from commercial flights, and anyone other than white Christians have a right to thrive and survive. I suppose though, the haughty sense of privilege demonstrated by our politicians, athletes, the clergy and those in the celebrity world, what the hell else should we expect. My heart goes out to Phoebe's family, and to all those other students and their families who are still daily living this nightmare.
