Moron of the Month - August 2014

This is Ohio State Senator Ed Kearney and he's an idiot.  Well, I suppose that calling some politician a moron is redundant.  But, Kearney's our special nominee for this month and here's why.

Probably bored and dying to get his name in the press during a quiet summer, Kearney has gone on the attack.

Kearney, a Democrat from Cincinnati, introduced a resolution Wednesday that would encourage the Cleveland Indians baseball team to adopt a new name and mascot, citing racial insensitivity. He also sent a letter to Indians owner Lawrence Dolan urging a change.

Yep, one more time, it's bye bye to....

Here we fucking go again.

It's happening before with the Indians.   American Indians or Native Americans or whatever Heep Big Chief wants to be called now have protested.   This is offensive to them.   Okay, but it's history.   The Encore Western channel tells me so.  And, besides, are you not over that?  Or are you too busy working in those tax shelters called casinos where the black jack dealer delights in scalping the wallet of the white man?

We've heard the same hue and cry over the Washington Redskins and the Atlanta Braves.  Again, it's American history, folks.  And aren't these storied sports franchises with a great and illustrious past as well?  Okay, if they want to shoot anybody who continues to do that deplorable Tomahawk Chop, I won't argue.  But....

You can always count on moronic politicians like Ed Kearney to go on the warpath with their super-duper insensitivity.  Because, in 2014, you can't say anything to anybody without fear of being sued.  Or chastised by your local congressman or dog catcher.

Hey, if we need to worry about each and every one's feelings, let's really tackle some of these team names.

Okay, Indians, Redskins, Braves.   Gone.

The New York Yankees?  Offensive to anybody's whose great grandfather fought and died for the South in the Civil War.  Bye.

The New York or San Francisco Giants?   Offensive to anybody with a glandular disorder or thyroid condition.   Out.

The San Diego Padres?  Protestants wonder why we must promote the Catholic Church.   See ya.

The Miami Marlins?   Consider those folks allergic to seafood.  Toodles.

Think I'm being silly?   I've just gotten started.

The New York Jets?   Offensive to planes with just two propellers.

The Milwaukee Brewers?   Why are we promoting beer to teenage fans?

The Houston Astros?   Offensive to dumb people with hearing issues who taught you said "asshole."

I could go on and won't.

This is a ridiculous issue championed by a two-bit politician with too much time on his hands.   I mean, here's a guy who's probably offended when he hears somebody say they don't like the black pieces in a box of Good N'Plenty.

As if there aren't enough issues confronting America.

Illegal immigration.

The affordable health care debacle.  

The Middle East  and Middle America on fire.

The economy which, despite what the mainstream media tells you, has never really recovered.

Ed Kearney, spend some of our tax dollars and your hours on something that is truly important to every American.  Regardless of color and nationality and heritage and religion.

But, if you must, I would like to stick up for the donkey AKA jackass.

Long considered the symbol of the Democratic Party, I am personally offended.   Why should this poor, defenseless animal be associated with such a group of idiots and dumbbells?  Especially when there are just as many asses on the Republican side as well?

Dinner last night:  Leftover grilled ham and salad.
