The Inane Asylum

It seems Kimbo is finally getting his shot and will be fighting former Heavy Weight Champion Ray Mercer on June 23, 2007 in Atlantic City. This fight is apart of CFFC 5, so this will be an MMA fight, but my guess is there will be no arm bars in this fight.

I'm really pulling for Kimbo here. Good luck man.

In this episode of Someone Must Die, we're giving you a two-for-one special.

Michael Savage was commenting on Governor Mitt Romney's comments that it's the American Way to have people have their freedom of choice to raise their children as they wish, which includes gay parents, when he said what is needed is "a conservative candidate all the way who would say to a gay woman: 'You know what? I'm very sorry for your children. I think it's child abuse for you to raise children.' "

Bill O'Reilly, a regular on this blog, was talking to McCain about immigration when he said, "But do you understand what the New York Times wants, and the far-left want? They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you're a part, and so am I, and they want to bring in millions of foreign nationals to basically break down the structure that we have."

What makes me even more mad than the fact that these two people have jobs where they're in the public eye, is that Savage Nation is the third most-listened-to talk radio show in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.

I'm thinking I just need to start a blog called "Bill O'Reilly Needs to Die". Hot off the heels of his last idiotic statement, he's back at it again. This time however, he's struck a nerve with me.

A recent study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism found that Fox News devoted nearly half as much stories to the war in Iraq as did CNN or MSNBC. They did however report twice as much on Anna Nicole Smith. No big surprise here coming form Fox News, but of course, loud mouth O'Reilly had to wager in his opinion on the matter:

Now the reason that CNN and MSNBC do so much Iraq reporting is because they want to embarrass the Bush administration. Both do. And all their reporting consists of is here’s another explosion. Bang. Here’s more people dead. Bang. […]

They’re not doing it to inform anybody about anything. The terrorists are going to set off a bomb every day because they know CNN and MSNBC are going to put it on the air. That’s a strategy for the other side. The terrorist side. So I’m taking an argument that CNN and MSNBC are actually helping the terrorists by reporting useless explosions.

Do you care if another bomb went off in Tikrit? Does it mean anything? No! It doesn’t mean anything.

As someone who just had a very close friend deployed to Iraq, to you Bill O'Reilly I say, if a bomb went off in your car tonight, would it mean anything? Not to me Bill. It wouldn't mean a thing to me.

LISTEN TO THE AUDIO

YES!! This is double sweet for me. As a life long Mets fan and a Bill O'Reilly hater, this just made my week.

from The New York Daily News:

O’Reilly, the FoxNews Channel talking head, got inside the visitors’ clubhouse before Stadium security realized that he was not wearing a credential granting clubhouse access. He and his party then were escorted out of the room.

According to a reporter from The Record of Hackensack (N.J.), the Big Righty complained to the security officer, “You don’t have to escort us out - we’re going.”

Coincidentally, If there is some irony surrounding the incident, it’s that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann was in the Mets’ clubhouse before Friday night’s game. Olbermann hosts the left-leaning “Countdown” on MSNBC and he and O’Reilly have frequently exchanged barbs on their respective programs.

Let's go Mets!

Pope Bendedict Argues Catholic Church 'Purified' Indigenous Peoples

During his recent trip to Latin America, Pope Benedict XVI offended millions when he arrogantly suggested that Catholicism had purified indigenous populations, and called the resurgence of indigenous religions a step backward. He also said the native populations were longing for Christianity, and had welcomed the Catholic priests at the time of European conquest.

He tried to clean it up afterwards by noting the, "sufferings and injustices inflicted by the colonizers on the indigenous populations whose human and basic rights often were trampled," but the damage was done.

The Pope seems to have selective amnesia when it comes to the Church and its horrendous history of human rights disasters against people of color. This happens at a time when Catholicism is becoming an increasingly southern religion and an increasingly brown religion. Roughly half of Catholics are in Latin America. Not only is the Pope out of step with the needs and everyday realities of the Third World, he is not speaking their language, and not owning up to the sins of the past.

Keith Olbermann is my new best friend. Just watch as he blows Bill "Must Die" O'Reilly up about his "reasoning" behind not reporting on the war in Iraq:

Any true Kimbo fan would have already seen this video, but there's no way I could have not posted this. It's classic Kimbo baby.

I would really love to see Kimbo fight an MMA fighter next.
