Today’s View From the Bull Pen
Idiots Among Us
The latest Bozo Award in the world of sports belongs to Sergio Garcia. The tiff between him and Tiger Woods is legendary and has escalated in recent weeks. But the recent statement by Garcia about Tiger Woods coming over to his house for dinner with fried chicken on the menu is beyond belief. It proves once again that even though golf is a cerebral game, stupid people somehow manage to find a way on the course regardless. True Idiocy reigns on the PGA tour.Like MLK, I too have a dream. That someday we will no longer see the color of a man's skin, or judge them by their sexuality, but instead, with compassion and strength, seek to live as equals in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
Until that day, I will rage on in cartoons like this one about the utter stupidity of some people who, unfortunately, inhabit the same planet I do.As always, your readership and your comments help to make the world go round, so please continue to add them. I will try to do a better job of responding.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.

“To fill the hour – that is happiness.”- Ralph Waldo EmersonTwitter Goodies
Its just amazing how stupid both sides are in this years NHL lockout. First there is a deal next there isnt, then the player and owners get together and put a deal together until Donald Fehr and Gary Bettman gets back involved.. Owners wont deal with Fehr and Players wont deal with Bettman.. What a stalemate.
Labor v. Capital disputes occur in every profession. How the disputes are handled is critical to the long-term survival of both the capitalist and laborer of a given field.
Here, both sides seem bound and determined to go the way of Hostess and the Twinkie. For years, the hockey product has had a strong, vibrant, but shrinking fan base in the U.S. Allowing this labor dispute to drag on only reduces market share against the NFL, NBA, and MLB. Advertisers flee, TV networks won’t carry the games, and fans stop buying the merch and filling the seats. A loss of the fan base means an end to the product.
Hostess and its labor force chose to kill the company instead of take one last try to improve the produce and grow shelf-space. Other than some nostalgia, no one really seems to miss those processed desserts. Will that be true of the NHL, too?
Just like we said good-bye to the Twinkie, if this lockout continues, without regard to the rights and wrongs alleged, soon the hockey capitalist and hockey laborer, squabbling over the dwindling revenue pie, will see their beloved sport become one with the Twinkie.
