COUGAR ALERT! Hulk Hogan's wife (48) dating a teenager.

Well let me tell ya something, Mean Gene. If the Hulkster can bang a teenager, than so can she, brother. It's like the time the Hulkster banged one of his daughter's friends without a rubber, brother, he asked her WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN ALL MY LITTLE HULKAMANIACS RUN WILD IN YOU!

Robert Mugabe Militia Hacks, Burns Alive Opposition Leader's Wife

And some in the United States *like* Mugabe because he stripped land away from white people and gave them to black people.

Nevermind Mugabe's a brutal, bloodthirsty dictator who ruined his country.

Powerful Blast Flattens House of Hamas Commander, Killing 4

Israel denies involvement. More likely is the production of a suicide bomber belt went horribly wrong.

I typed that out before I read this FTA: Israel's denial raised the possibility that the blast was caused by explosives meant for use against Israel that went off prematurely.

Tom Cruise's Lawyer Compares 'Dr. Drew' to Nazi

Dr. Drew compares Cruise to a loony. When's the last time Dr. Drew jumped on Oprah's couch?

Uh oh... another one of Barack Hussein Obama's cronies in legal trouble.

Maybe if Obama gets elected he can pardon Jim Johnson and Tony Rezko?

Seems like Barack Hussein Obama has some trouble picking law abiding citizens for his campaign.

I guess maybe that's the change he was talking about (but never elaborates or gives details on)? Putting people with low ethical standards back in power?

Actually we'll know for sure that's the case if he picks "The Breck Girl" John Edwards for his VP.

You know, the same John Edwards that allegedly cheated on his terminally ill wife?

Yes, I'm bringing it back. No, it won't be daily.

There goes the neighborhood!

Bright Lights may help stave off Dementia.

Now you have an excuse to leave your mother-in-law waiting on the porch for a while when the doorbell rings. Well, at least I do. Now I can tell her I'm just helping her prevent Dementia.

Billie Piper to play an 'Ann Arbor' on TV.

Eliot Spitzer, former Democrat Hero (remember when they called him Eliot Ness?) apparently volunteered to act like a 'John'.

Incest Dungeon Girl Reunited with Family.

She lived in the basement, never venturing outside... OHMYGOD! SHE'S A SLASHDOTTER!

Republicans want to drill for more oil, Democrats complain it won't help now.

Maybe not, but it will help in the future (much like building a refinery would). Further proof that Democrats secretly hate America and People.

700-Pound Man wants to get married on his birthday.

I don't even want to think about the mechanics of consummating that marriage. On the bright side, if X-Men 4 is ever made, he could audition for The Blob.

He used to weigh 1235 pounds. Seriously, how do you let yourself go like that?

Solis said her family initially opposed the match with Uribe, because her first husband, who was also obese, died of respiratory failure.

Oh, I get it - she's a chubby chaser. It all makes sense now.

Scarlett Johannson and Barack Hussien are like, BFF, Y'all!

Brain dead Hollywood Starlet fawns over far-left liberal Democrat. It's not news anymore than "Dog Bites Man".

And yes, when it comes to having a liberal voting record in the Senate, Obama's #1! Kerry was #4 when he ran for President.

Barack Hussein Obama: Also known as George McGovern 2.0. Unless he wins, then it'll be the second term of the Worst. President. Ever. Jimmy Carter.

But hey - that would be a change, right? Completely flushing the country down the toilet and turning the U.S. into a third world hellhole while surrendering in Iraq and letting Iran ass-rape us WOULD BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AND THEREFORE CHANGE, RIGHT?

Change for Change's Sake is Folly, and reeks of Mussolini style Fascism. Don't look at me like that, get a history book. Liberals in this country *loved* Il Duce because of his "experimentation".

Don't believe me? Fine. Go read the NY Times editorial pages from the 1920's and early 1930's and read it for yourself. The fascist / socialist liberals fawned over Mussolini the same way they fawn over Obama now, and giving Obama power would be just as disasterous as Mussolini was.

Barack Hussein Obama: Fascist.

By the way, it's hilarious that there's an ad for an international prostitution ring - er, I mean, "Dating Service" on the front page on this site.

Not very good targetted advertising - they'd have to leave the basement to pick up their whore^H Date.

"But RailGunner, don't you love the Tigers?"

Of course. Which is why I'm rooting for them to lose today...

Because the sooner Jim Leyland gets fired, the better for the team.

It is painfully obvious that the success of 2006 was riding the wave of momentum that former manager Alan Trammell and his bench coach Kirk Gibson started.

For further evidence: Look how good the Cubs and Diamondbacks are this year.

Alan Trammell is the Cubs bench coach, Kirk Gibson is the Diamondbacks bench coach...

Under Trammell, Inge was a .300 hitter, Craig Monroe could still hit, Chris Shelton was a monster, Carlos Guillen wasn't a defensive butcher, and I could continue...

For the good of the Detroit Tigers, Jim Leyland must go. If getting swept by Oakland brings that on sooner, then I hope the A's sweep the Tigers.

Who are you going to vote for?

[] I'm voting for Giant Douche
[] I'm voting for Turd Sandwich

Seriously. Fire him. Now.

Tigers lead, 3-1, in the 7th. Bonderman walks the lead off, gets the second batter to hit a pop fly that drops in foul territory between Renteria and Guillen (Inge would have caught the damn ball) - then walks him.

Bottom of the 7th, you lead 3-1, with 2 on, nobody out.

So what does Jim Leyland do? HE BRINGS IN THE WORST FUCKING PITCHER ON THE TEAM, ZACH MINER. 8.00+ ERA. THE MOP UP GUY. Miner promptly gets shelled for 2 runs and leaves. Bobby Seay omes in, and gets a ground ball to third, that Carlos Guillen, who was a shortstop, then a first baseman, and now a third baseman, makes an error and throws the ball (and the game) away. On a routine play THAT BRANDON INGE WOULD HAVE MADE.

Meanwhile, decent relievers like Aquilino Lopez and good relievers like Fransisco Cruceta aren't used (though Cruceta later pitched a scoreless 8th.

Jim Leyland has completely lost it.

How to fix the Tigers:
+ Release Gary Sheffield. He's hurt, hitting .186, and Leyland keeps batting him third.
+ Trade Sludge for a backup Catcher. I don't care if it's Rod Barajas, get Sludge out of there. (I'm talking about Ivan Rodriguez, who has now earned the nick name SLUDGE.)
+ Move Miguel Cabrera to Left Field. He's got a cannon of an arm, and he's not a good third baseman, or a good first baseman. He is, however, a decent outfielder.
+ Call up Mike Hessman. 17 HR already in Toledo. Can't be worse than Sheffield at this point.
+ Move Carlos Guillen to DH, and put Brandon Inge at third.
+ FIRE JIM LEYLAND. Hire Diamondbacks Bench Coach Kirk Gibson, or promote Tom Brookens to the show from Double-A.


10 games under .500. No hustle. No life. They're mailing it in, and they have a manager that consistently gives away games on days where they DO show a little life (Ordonez 3-4 today).


2008: Stick a fork in the Tigers, they're done. As long as Sheffield is in Detroit, and Leyland is managing, this team will not improve.

I just hope they don't lose 100 games this year. Actually, I do hope the lose 100 games, so Leyland will either quit or get fired. I haven't been this pissed off about the Tigers since Phil Garner was the manager.

In 2003: The Tigers went 43-119. But you know what? They weren't expected to be any good, they went with a youth movement with a depleted farm system, but you know what? They gave it 100 percent. This 2008 team is pathetic.

It's clear to me that the reason the Tigers made it to the World Series is that Jim Layland was able to ride the wave of momentum that former Manager Alan Trammell had built. Under Trammell, Craig Monroe hit the cover off the ball, Chris Shelton his the cover off the ball, Bonderman and Robertson improved... under Leyland: Shelton was ruined, Monroe was ruined, and Bonderman, Robertson, and now Verlander are seriously regressing.

Leyland must go.
