C'mon, why are you letting the media control your thoughts?

He doesn't stop at Vick, I also like this line from the article "The president also spoke about Tiger Woods' very public troubles, telling People magazine that the golf pro could "absolutely" be rehabilitated."

Ha!!!

Maybe he could be? Who knows? People are rehabilitated from being career criminals to being law abiding citizens.

Maybe people here could be rehabilitated from their media generated outrage?

Is that good enough for you?

I feel dirty for wasting this much time on something as ridiculous.

Media doesn't control my thoughts (not sure where in the world you would get that).........please elaborate with facts.

I'm not "outraged". I just feel the media is pathetic when the try to push their own agenda and take the editors spin (this includes Fox News). I am outraged about a President naming a Tax Evader to his Cabinet and to head the IRS.

As for you feeling dirty for wasting this much time on something as ridiculous as this, I feel the President should feel dirty about wasting his time on this too (and that is an opinion, not a fact).

Barry shouldn't have called, he totally lost any chance at the MVP tonight. even the 3rd string MN QB outplayed him.

Maybe having Barry call is as bad as being on the cover of SI during the season.

I saw an old, forgotten man


On an old, forgotten road.


Staggering and numb under the glare of the


Spotlight. His eyes, so dull and grey,


Slide from right to left, to right,


Looking for his life, misplaced in a


Shallow, muddy gutter long ago.


I am found, instead.


Seeking a hiding place, the night seals us together.


A transient spark lights his face, and in my honor,


He pulls out forgotten dignity from under his flaking coat,


And walks a straight line along the crooked world.

You watched the news long enough to see that the president praised Vick. I watch the weather then change the channel avoiding Dr Oz and other wacko BS. (Including this Vick bit)

But now we're on about tax evaders? Jesus, we're surrounded by tax evaders! Hell, you probably buy from tax evaders.... Even for fishing.

As for you feeling dirty for wasting this much time on something as ridiculous as this, I feel the President should feel dirty about wasting his time on this too (and that is an opinion, not a fact).

Ok, now we're back on Vick. Yet again, who cares? Why should he feel dirty?

I think Vick should be used as a Malinois schutzhund training dummy, sans suit, but obviously don't care enough to make some wacko post whining about him. Belichick will eat his soul anyhow.

But I really couldn't give a damn about Obama doing some silly publicity thing. Past presidents have done far more retarded things.

neither Vick nor Tiger's indiscretions, crimes or bad behavior occured on the "playing field"...but apparently Barry feels that returning to the playing field and performing well is proper contrition and reward for rehabilitation from these indiscretions...I doubt that any of the victims would be impressed....

must be a "thing" among narcissists
