Are You Ready For Some Idiocity

The oceans here in New England have been flatter than a girl scout meeting. On top of that I seem to be surrounded by people who strongly resemble a horse's rear end. This week an appeals court condoned murder by the FBI. A legal computer service cancelled my account over $6 I didn't owe. Finally, the District Attorney decided judges serve only as an impediment to convicting innocent people and as such refuses to follow court orders. All of this leaves me pondering the question: "Is it possible I am wrong all the time?"

Before answering that let's get to the point of today's post (yes, these blogs have a point). A very close friend of mine Jim S defines the human condition as this: "The undeniable urge to screw up a good thing." Unfortunately, a number of people, myself included often succeed. Hank Williams, Jr. like most offspring of successful and wealthy people was good at one thing: collecting his inheritance. (Think Mitt Romney as a "Good ol' boy").

Some how some way he conned ABC into using his song, "Are You Ready For Some Football" for thirteen seasons. His work week consisted of overdubbing that particular week's team names into the song. Maybe 5 minutes work for 16 weeks. For this he was reportedly paid $1 million a year.

Last week he was on some talk show. The first question is why? (I wouldn't go to a Hank William's Jr. concert if he was playing on my deck for free. Further I wouldn't talk to him at a cocktail party. First, I don't particularly care for other people's opinion as those opinions for the most part are always wrong. Second, I have enough friends and another friend is just someone you eventually have to help move and/or drive to the airport.)

Apparently he compared Nobama to Hitler. First, off I don't get the comparison. (See above on other people's opinions). Unlike Obama Hitler actually accomplished something albeit temporarily. His limited achievement was fortunate for the rest of the world.

Once ABC was able to determine which trailer park Hank was hiding in he was notified he was canned.

Now if (haven't had a hard days work in my life) Hank had said Nobama and his family were setting a record for leisure miles on Air Force One, or that INS was treating Nobama's dead beat aunt and drunk driving uncle differently or that when Nobama sees a Republican on the sidewalk Nobama crosses the street, Hank would still be singing this Monday.
