What’s More Important Than Voting?....

Today is Election Day in America – or so I’m told by every news channel, every paper, every magazine, every web page and everybody I talk to.

What amazes’ me (besides bright lights &/or tube socks) are the other big stories which aren’t receiving their deserved news coverage due to this Presidential hullaballoo. For instance – the war in Iraq is still going on, I am yet to hear about how Brad and Angelina are doing in the last 48 hours (omg aren’t they sOooOoo perfect for each other!!). There have been approximately zero (+/- 100% margin of error) ‘Breaking Stories’ effectively covering the fact I just got a German Shepherd Dog from the RSPCA yesterday.


Hogan - The dog who won't touch the toys I bought him...


Even more importantly – big, big news out of Detroit,Michigan: The Detroit Pistons got Allen Iverson and the Detroit Lions got Dante Culpepper!!! Oh, and General Motors auto sales in the US dropped 45% in Oct….something to do with a supposed ‘credit crunch’. Not sure what that’s about and doesn’t sound too important – so back to the big stories...


A.I.!!!


D.C.!!!

Now I do see a problem with the trade for Allen Iverson - we lose Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess….And I’m sad to see Chauncey go – he was good for Detroit and Detroit was good for him. Antonio’s career was virtually over before Joe Dumars brought him on board, and he was a nice fit for the team,great 6th man off the bench, and took over a big part of the starting role after Ben Wallace ditched us for greener pastures. But the issue I have with this whole thing is that I have a Billups jersey that is now officially out of date….and there is nothing worse than seeing a person wearing a jersey with a player that isn’t on the team anymore.

The silver lining is I do have a LeBron James jersey as well….so in 2 years when his contract expires and James leaves Cleveland, I’m hoping the Pistons can lure him over the border. That way I can combine my 2 jerseys into one Detroit Pistons/LeBron James super jersey…it will be the Voltron of Basketball jerseys.



Now before anyone gets too bored with my blog about sports,Dante Culpepper is rad. If I was to be gay for black dudes, Dante would be on my short list – but Obama is still #1.

Sadly though, the Detroit Lions are yet to win a game this season, so the odds of making the Super Bowl and less likely than a plumber’s chances of recording a Country Music Record.

My forecast for the next Detroit champions in each sport is:

Baseball: Tigers - 2011
Basketball: Pistons – 2008/2009
Hocky: Red Wings – 2008/2009
Football: Lions - 2087

You can take that to Vegas – it’s as good as money in the bank. Even better than my predictions, though, would be to actually have money in the bank.

I wonder if Allen Iverson is feeling the credit crunch on his $20.8 million salary…

Now go vote fools!....

Same place as always! MySpace blogging system sucks now and it's impossible to post a blog without having to reformat it 500 times. As a result, I'm funneled all of my energy into crime fighting....on X-Box...

Unfortunately it'll take a LOT more than brining on Dante Culpepper to help the Lions...

PS - When I adopted my dog, he didn't touch the toys either. But he liked eating cigarette butts and lipstick... Thankfully he's beyond that phase.
