Who's the Biggest Loser

That's right the guys at www.votefortheworst.com, the site that tries to keep the worst contestent going in American Idol has once again failed miserably. First they picked that Chicken Little Kid and he was gone right after all their national press conference. Then they got behind Pickler. Well, she lasted 2 weeks. Your rants don't mean anything! When are you idiots gonna realize no one reads stupid...
Oh crap.

There's No Girls In Baseball?

If you're not a sports fan you probably missed the latest story of the day. It seems a NY Mets announcer saw a women in a Mets uniform sitting in the Mets dugout during a game. He then made the comment, "There is no place for a women in baseball." Come to find out she is the team massuse. After the expected firestorm broke out over his stupid comment he came out the next day and stood by his comment, "This is a man's game. There is no place for women in baseball."
I just want to say, it's comments like these that not only point out a sexist attitude but ignorance of baseball. Of course it's a women's game! It's one step above softball for crying out loud! Baseball's a man's game? Come on that's like saying soccer is a serious sport. Look women aren't what stops baseball from being a man's game. It's inherent.
So I say, after we start Fabians Superbaseball League (in which all players can juice as much as they want) we start the NY Mets Co-Ed Team. Look, you can't make baseball anymore of a girls sport by simply adding women. Who knows, people might even watch?

Who's the President of China? Yes.

WARNING: RETURNING WITH A POLITICAL RANT

Ok, so we invite the dictator of oppressive communist China to visit the White House while putting on trial the oppressive military dictator of Iraq, boycotting the communist government of Cuba, and cursing the oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Then after giving a speech in which we asked Hu (that's right) to open up his country to a free press, freedom of religion and FREE SPEECH we arrest a person expressing their political views of this Hu (he's on first) in our country (home base).
Look, take the person away for disturbing a press conference, not that I would, but I can understand that. But arrest her?
Look obviously the liberal democrats are not the answer to Bush, remember the infamous tax audits of everyone who spoke out against Clinton, and they simply come out bashing the President instead of Hu (that's what I said) but I'm sick of this stuff.
I usually love the way Bush talks: Halt illegal and encourage legal immigration, finish the job in Iraq, cut taxes, smaller government, etc.
Unfortunately, mama Bush must never have taught little George W. to practice what he preaches.
So Hu should we vote for next? Might as well.

What's the Motto?

New Jersey recently held a contest for a new state motto... who didn't see this as a bad idea. Among my favorite suggestions:
"New Jersey: You Got a Problem With That?"
"NJ: How You Doin'?!"
And "Most of Our Elected Officials Have Not Been Indicted."

So I am calling all TICS readers to submit their ideas for state Mottos. I will choose the winner and present them with an award.

"Michigan: It's still snowing."
"California: The Land of Fruits and Nuts"
"Michigan: It's still, still snowing."
"Texas: Draw!"
"Texas: A Good Place to Die"
"Florida: We Ain't Getting Any Younger"
"Pennsylvania: If You Like Taxes, You'll Love Us!"
"Michigan: Come See if It's Still Snowing"
"Tennessee: Hell's Portal"
"Arkansas: Don't Bother"

Lost Has Lost Me

Ok, I've had a huge Lost addiction since season 2. After watching the second season debut I went straight out and bought season 1 and watched it all in about a week. It was awesome. I loved the backstories, the unraveling mystery of the island the finding of the hatch and the talies, the raft and finally the confrontation with the others. Then we have the last 4-6 weeks.
Let me list my problems:
1) Repeats. You didn't give me my weekly fix. I don't know when you're gonna be new or not. Nothing worse than sitting down on Wednesday night after locking my children in the closet to keep them quiet, sitting down in front of the widescreen, and... seeing a 2 year old episode. Out of sight out of mind. I just don't care like I used to, I actually do have a life.
2) Soon's gonna have a baby. So what. You've already done that. And the backstory was insanely contrived and felt like filler. Let me guess, next Hurley is going to develop a Heroin addiction. We'll just add it to his backstory.
3) Hurley is now just scenery.
4) We ever gonna get back to the mystery of the horse and polar bear? Someone said the producers just come in and say, "Hey, we gotta stretch this thing out. Throw in a horse or polar bear this week to keep people talking. But don't worry, you never have to resolve it or ever talk about it again." I don't mind extended plotlines, but you can't just ignore past stuff.
5) The dude trapped in the vault. Come on, every week he makes you believe he's innocent and at the end you're left thinking he's guilty. You can't use the same cliffhanger 55 weeks in a row.
6) They make you think the plot has progressed but when you stop and think NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN WEEKS!!!! Sawyer, still has all the stuff, yet everyone can get him to give them whatever they want. They still keep pressing the button. The guys still in the vault. The others are still out there. John and Jack are still at each other. It's been this way for weeks and weeks a weeks. Yawn.
7) The previews are now better than the actual show. In the previews it looks like stuff is happening but when you watch the actual episode they manage to slow everything down until I find myself not tivoing through commercials just to get some resolution.
8) Will we ever hear from Walt and Michael again? How many plot lines can they not only drop but simply ingnore?

Look, I love the serialized mystery stuff, but they've left me hanging too long and at this point only the final episode will capture my attention. And it is guaranteed to leave me disappointed. My addiction to Lost is over. I'm left with only Battlestar Galactica... which is more than enough.
