Today’s highlights begin and end with France-Germany in the UEFA semifinals. France and Germany have played each other many times, including Germany’s elimination of France from the last World Cup. They also fought each other three times in 75 years, in the Franco-Prussian War, WWI and WWII, resulting in millions of casualties and, ultimately, the formation of The European Union, which has been a stunning success and ensures that nothing again will ever go wrong in Europe.
The winner of this game gets Ronaldo and the Portuguese in the finals. Which will be decided by penalty kicks, because of course they will.
In baseball tonight, (ducks), the Yanks play, (and no doubt lose to), Cleveland. Cleveland recently won 14 games in a row and is on fire to such an extent that you’d think they were a local river.
The Nationals play the Mets, in what should be a good game, the Cubs play the Braves in a game that should probably be stopped after 6 and San Diego plays the Dodgers in a game that some poor network is contractually obligated to broadcast.
In other news if you bought the pay-per-view for UFC 200 hoping for some resolution to the Jon Jones-Daniel Cormier rivalry boy are you screwed. It turns out that Jones’s rivalry with Cormier is secondary to Jones’s fondness for putting banned substances into his body, and he’s been dropped from the card. Cormier has no one to fight and therefore no reason not to stuff his face with as much cake and ice cream as he can get his mitts on. It totally wasn’t Jones’s fault however, as he can’t even pronounce whatever it was that they found in his system.
Dwayne Wade is going to the Bulls as a free agent, which would be big news in 2010.

Obama is making sense. Is this because I quit drinking the GOP Kool Aid?
Yes. Now to avoid the rest of the bullshit start drinking alcohol.
Heavily.

Eh. He’s generally a reasonable dude.

50 minutes in I’m thinking that “Eye In The Sky” is a silly exercise in justifying supposedly “righteous” drone strikes.

(yesterday morning finding out about LA shooting)
“Okay, I may be grasping at straws here but I was raised to trust cops, and maybe if the cops knew he had a gun, they wouldn’t have shot him.”

“I have a Concealed Carry Permit and a gun. I’m reaching for my wallet.”

I can defend a cop unholstering the gun and getting it ready in case the driver pulls out his gun; the cop doesn’t know what the guy’s gonna do, and the cop has a right to live too. If he see the gun being pulled out, he can point his gun faster than he can and if the guy starts to point the gun at the cop, he can defend himself.
But to shoot a man for reaching for his wallet?!
This is your gun-soaked country. Good luck sussing out the logic involved in shooting/not shooting various individuals in various scenarios.
The logic is very, very simple.
White people get the benefit of the doubt. Black people get killed.
Cops kill shit-tons of people, the majority of which are blacks. Cops seeing ordinary people as “threats” is the bigger problem.
Yeah, but black people only make up 14% of the population.
“Soon to be 13%”
A. Cop
Different worlds man. I had it beat into me at a very early age that the scariest, most viscous gang in the streets were the cops. They were the best armed, they never ratted each other out, and they lived in the suburbs so they didn’t give a fuck what they did to the neighborhood.
I guess so. I drew the lucky straw in life I guess.
I have relatives who are/were cops. They are the worst fucking people I’ve ever met. They were bullies. Their kids are bullies.
My mother worked as a civilian for the police department for a decade. The uniformed police are not to be trusted under any circumstances. If they actually rooted out every domestic abuser, half the cops in America would be fired. Respect must be earned, and I have never in my life had any reason to respect a police officer or police as a group.
So in conclusion, you can’t trust the cops. Great, that’s just great.
I know and like a lot of cops. I’ve been pulled over my share of times and never gotten more than a ticket. Half the time I just get a warning because I am one polite motherfucker when the cops are involved.
And I don’t forget for a second that if I weren’t an upper-middle class white guy my experience, no matter how polite I was, would be COMPLETELY different.
It also doesn’t hurt that because I live in a rural area most of my police dealings are with State Police. In my experience they’re far more professional, better educated/trained and more diverse than your town police. Most of them are fucking idiots.

Interesting WWII note…the last group of soldiers to defend the Hilter Bunker was not Germans but French from the Waffen SS division Charlemagne.
The french are seriously dicks.

Can’t wait to see the footage of a bunch of bearded hipster French dudes trying unsuccessfully to overturn a cheese cart in the streets of Paris.

31 minutes? I ain’t got time for that! Just sum it up in a gif.
“Revenge for France after three agonizing defeats against Germany in the World Cup.”
Yeah. The World Cup is the worst thing Germany did to France this century.
What bad thing did Germany do to France in this century?
Advocated austerity as a means of recovering from the economic crisis, thereby prolonging the crisis for everyone in Europe other than Germany and endangering the very existence of the European Union of course.*
*Also I’m a moron.
At least you can admit error, unlike most!
