Young Billy is a 17-year old boy who enjoys math riddles, glee club and has plans to run for student body President. All that changed in an instant.
Last week Billy asked popular cheerleader Shannon to the prom. He was rejected. In a cold-blooded utterance that can only be described as “terroristic in intent” Shannon told Billy that he “wasn’t her type.”
Now a devastated Billy stays in his room playing online video games, occasionally taking time out to mow the lawn or read the Bible.
The backlash against Shannon and her hate-filled rejection of Billy is intense. Many local residents blame talk radio.
As it was Reagan who was in office when we were in high school, this goes a long way towards explaining our abject dating failures at that time.

"It is naive for any elected official, especially one who describes himself as 'pro-life,' to expect that a promise to issue an Executive Order that reasserts the intentions of the Hyde Amendment will be fulfilled by the most pro-abortion president to ever sit in the White House. Perhaps Mr. Stupak and his fellow pro-life Democrats forget that President Obama's first Executive Order was the repeal of the Mexico City Policy to allow for international funding of abortion."
"Not only would an Executive Order be rendered meaningless in the face of Congress passing legislation which actively provides for the massive expansion and funding of abortion services, but anyone who doubts the abortion tsunami which awaits this bill becoming law lives in a fantasy world."
That from Phyllis Schlafly, president and founder of the Eagle Forum.
We’re submitting a new word for consideration into the modern political lexicon: “Stupak” (verb) as in, “to be Stupaked”.
Essentially to get rolled in the most embarrassing, obvious and transparent of ways. “Dude, I cannot believe you let that used car salesman play you like that. Now, you’re stuck with this lemon. You got totally Stupaked.”
"Rarely has such a good thing for Americans been perceived by so many as a threat to their livelihood and liberty."
That from the clueless and hapless editors of the L.A. Times rationalizing their support for universal healthcare which they believe is the endstate of Obamacare.
So, those folks showing up at tea party rallies and town hall events with their “Obama = socialist” placards weren’t guilty of overheated and hyperbolic rhetoric after all. Guess that just proves when you get what you set out after, you can finally reveal yourself for who you really are.
“There is some danger that health care reform will turn the larger private health insurance companies into the same sort of black-belt lobbying champs that Congress created in Sallie Mae."
Count on it. As smaller insurance companies get squeezed out because they will be unable to afford the expanded coverage mandated by ObamaCare, look for a consolidation in the industry to where there will be only a few big boys left and who will really be throwing their weight around Capitol Hill, especially considering their client list just increased by 30 million people.
If you thought that the health insurance lobby was influential now just wait until ObamaCare downsizes the number of carriers and increases the influence of those left. It will be picking winners and losers and crony capitalism at its finest as the politicization of health care kicks into high gear.
Meanwhile it is being reported that Mr. Jackson will be buried without his brain -- apparently in a move to stand in solidarity with all of the people who will watch the memorial service live on ABC, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC.
And to put a nice neat bow on things, the Reverand Al Sharpton is calling for a U.S. Postage stamp honoring Michael Jackson and during Sunday services at the First A.M.E. Church in South-Central Los Angeles, Sharpton also called for nationwide "love vigils" in rememberance for a man who admitted to sleeping with 10 yr. old boys. Nice touch, Reverand.
(UPDATE #1): Laker G.M. Mitch Kupchak may want to rethink that 3-year deal he has offered to Ron Artest.
Soon to be L.A. Laker, Ron Artest (a pick up which we absolutely love, btw), proves he isn’t quite as far out of the wacky woods as we would like by laying down a tribute to Michael Jackson. No big deal there, but doesn’t he around the 1:53 mark say/sing: “I know you’re in Heaven, I hope to see you next year.”
(Strong language warning)
(UPDATE #2): We’re stoked about the Artest deal but it’s stuff like the above and now this that gives us pause:
Those of you wondering what number Ron Artest will be wearing can stop. Elliott Teaford of the Daily News reports a decision has been made:
Artest will wear uniform No. 37 in honor of the number of weeks that Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" was No. 1 on the charts.
And Artest himself: “I think more kids should start getting the #37 for a great human being, since Michael loved all people. I think I’m representing greatness in wearing #37."
It’s beginning to appear that there is at least one side benefit to Michael Jackson’s untimely demise: one less potential stalker in L.A.
