bttt - good column

You can’t take part in, or watch, crap like that without damage to your inner core. I may be a redneck but I’m not a savage. I can kill when I must, but not just because I have nothing else to do.

This is a superb post.

“Keepin’ it real...”. What does this really mean(pun intended)?

[WL-law]

This writer is in sore need of an editor, although his point at the end is worthwhile — if you can persevere through the muddy middle of the article.

Nice reading. Also, it's Friday, payday, and I get to bash that sick POS Vick first thing this morning. What a great day so far. Say goodbye to your career, oh and by the way Mike...

I’ve heard from rednecks and country boys and inner-city underground cultists who swear dog fighting and cock fighting isn’t much different from ultimate fighting

The premise of this column is correct, but I call BS on this statement above. I don't believe for a second he went out and interviewed "country boys and inner-city underground cultists."

Puppies and kitties are involved, which means that most air-headed, middle-class, mall-shopping, suburban white women, (like Oprah according to rapper 50 Cent*, who also “keeps it real”) won’t be able to give “Bad Newz Kennels” Vick either the presumption of innocence or the benefit of their doubts.

(and “Ass-salaami Alai-cum” -”Peace be upon you”, RiBPA, from the densely forested northeastern corner of your state. Mostly rocks, rattlesnakes, and Republicans where I live, some say.)

If the man is quilty of a felony offense (dog-fighting is a felony) then he should do the time as it relates to that offense.

I don’t agree with those who say he should get time off for good behaviour because they were pit-bulls. That is just wrong.

[Dysart]

Excellent.

"that anyone with a healthy blood lust would understand."

A 'healthy' blood lust? When is blood lust ever healthy?

Along with the participants in the ultimate fighting volunteering to beat each other up, the loser isn't executed after the fight.

It is all part of the systematic hijacking of the Black American culture. And the worst part is, too many of us just let it happen.

It ain't hijacking if you "just let it happen."

And I'd like to know who he thinks hijacked "Black American culture." Aren't gangster rappers black?

The writer doing exactly what he's criticizing.

So if Vick’s a villain to PETA and a victim to the NAACP, what is he to their bastard offspring Al Sharpton???

Someone must have put something in my drinking water.

This is a good article from PMSNBC. I even sensed David Robinson’s appearance before he was mentioned.

I was slightly disappointed that the author steered away from Kobe Bryant.
