Name: Pat Sajak
Age: 67
Occupation: game show host
Last Seen: Hollywood, CA
Bee-otched For: acting like an asshole on Twitter
---For over 30 years, Pat Sajak has been the host of TV's most-popular game show.
But now, his conservatism is scaring off his most-liberal fans.
On Tuesday, the Wheel of Fortune host made one of the most-idiotic comments ever made: "global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists". Pat is a Republican and has been known for making idiotic remarks when he's not telling contestants that there's no Bs and five Ws.
Sometimes, I wonder why game show hosts like to branch out into other genres of entertainment. Monty Hall's tried singing and failed at it. Other than that, I've never heard Bob Barker sing or Alex Trebek rapping.
Oh, wait, my bad.
I know, a show like Wheel of Fortune only tapes five shows a day, 35 days per year so Sajak can putz around all he wants most of the time. But sadly, going on Twitter and telling something that's far from the truth only shows that there's other things to watch at 7 p.m. at night.
The truth is, GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL. Yeah, we here in Michigan were pounded with 100 inches of snow this past winter, but that don't mean shit. The polar icecaps in Antarctica are rapidly melting and within a few decades, we might be kissing Florida goodbye. We've spent too much time drilling for oil and polluting the air that it's making Mother Earth sick and it's already playing a terrifying role in the Earth's ecosystem.
Point is, Pat needs to keep his mouth shut, or in this case, his hands off the keyboard. It's sad that somebody who once was a TV weatherman is making these statements. I believe in Global Warming and I love America and people of all races and nationalities. It's sad that because of Pat's lunacy, I've decided to quit the Wheel cold turkey. My grandfather loved the show, and it's sad that politics are now in the way of what's called "America's Game".
Pat Sajak, here's two letters: F. U.

Bee-otched For: being a loser, big time
---What can $357 million buy you?
Well, the new arena for the Detroit Red Wings is going to be around $400 million. $357,000,000 can also buy a lot of houses, a few Bentleys, a yacht or two and still have pocket change.
But in the case of one Vincent Kennedy McMahon, he spent that money on Monday because of his continuing abhorrent business practices. That was when Wall Street lowered its stock eight bucks to $11 per share because of the company's unimpressive new contract with NBCUniversal to keep Raw and Smackdown on USA and SyFy respectively for an unknown amount of years. Other factors leading to the WWE's stock disaster is the fact that their new WWE Network has been a disaster so far, scheduling to lose $50 million by the end of this year, plus the fact that DirecTV recently dropped their pay-per-views because of low subscriptions and a high cost per household.
That is what to expect from the assclown that gave us the World Bodybuilding Federation, the XFL and the horrible, horrible music video posted above.
Fifteen years ago, I loved the WWE. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Rock and "Mankind" Mick Foley brought testicular fortitude to the organization. But then, most of these people retired or moved on, and on came John Cena. Since Cena came along, the WWE has transitioned from a quality product for us grown-ups to a dorky kids show that's nothing more than clothed gay porn.
Between the WWE becoming kid-friendly, the burying of Chris Benoit, barring their hot Divas from posing nude in Playboy and the failed takeover of the US Senate by wife Linda, Vince deserves to lose all that money. True, I'd like to see the WWE go back ot the Attitude era, but it ain't happenin'. In the end, Vince will find a way to get his money back somehow.
Maybe it's time for him to join his own "Kiss My Ass" club.

Name: The New York Post
Age: 213
Occupation: purveyors of paper for your bird to poop on
Last Seen: New York, NY
Bee-otched For: losing the only thing it had that was worth reading
---For years, the New York Post has been nothing more than a paper that was only good for wrapping fish or birdcage liner. But now, there's seven less reasons to read the Post:
They've dumped their daily comics.
Now, what's a newspaper without a comics section? OK, there's their leftie rival the New York Times which avoids comics like the plague, but they're special. The Post carried some comics page standards such as Garfield, Dennis the Menice and The Wizard of Id, plus Rhymes With Orange, Non Sequitur, Heart of the City and Mallard Fillmore. Now, granted, Fillmore is a right-leaning strip like the Post itself, but in all, it's still a part of comic strip Americana.
In all, the Post carried only seven comics. Yep, seven. That's the equivalent of, say, a small-town paper that only prints six days per week and its front page headline is something to the tune of "Sally picked a flower by the side of a tree". But there's probably a good reason why the Post dropped their seven sole strips: $$$$.
Sadly, it ain't cheap to carry the funnies, especially strips that are older than most of us. Take Beetle Bailey, for example. It's been around since 1951 and still drawn by his 91-year-old creator, Mort Walker. Some papers have dropped the strip over the years because its distributor, King Features Syndicate - and others - charge a "legacy rate" for papers that are long-time carriers of that strip. Sometimes, when a paper drops an older strip and adds a new one, readers end up fuming at the paper, begging them to bring the comic back. Same thing happened many years ago to my old hometown paper, the Traverse City Record-Eagle: they dropped the daily edition of Beetle but brought him back after readers complained.
The Record-Eagle - like many other papers - have dropped and added strips over the years. Recently, they dropped For Better or For Worse mainly because that strip has been in repeats since its author, Lynn Johnston retired several years ago. Its replacement is Zits, a strip about a teenage boy. A few years ago when Cathy ceased because of the retirement of creator Cathy Guisewite, the R-E asked readers to vote for its replacement. Five strips were tested, including Get Fuzzy and Thatababy about a devilish baby. The winner was Pickles, which is about senior citizens and is written by Brian Crane, a senior citizen himself.
When the R-E interviewed readers about Pickles winning, it appeared that most of those readers were... (drum roll please) OVER THE AGE OF 70! Then again, when the Sunday comics section of the R-E contains mostly comics that have been around for over 50 years like Blondie, Beetle Bailey, Andy Capp and The Family Circus, it's a given that not a lot of youngsters read the Sunday funnies anymore, and heaven forbid if something edgy like Pearls Before Swine - which the R-E carries daily but not Sunday - ends up on that section.
But if the R-E still wants to carry old strips and has the money to carry them, God bless 'em. At least the people who draw those strips try their hardest to keep it modern. Heck, I'll even admit that Johnny Hart's grandsons have done a marvelous job with B.C. after his passing. It's not as littered with alienating religious crap as it once was.
But the sad thing remains: the New York Post is still without the funnies.
The average age of the comics carried in the Post's comics section was 32; Dennis the Menace was the oldest (63) with Heart of the City being the youngest (17). But since the Postis in the biggest newspaper market in America, the syndicates probably wanted too much and the Post didn't want to pay up. But since the Post's owner, Rupert Murdoch is stinkin' rich, it proves that he'd rather spend his money trashing Obama over allowing readers to know if Garfield knocked Odie off the table again or if Dennis pissed off Mr. Wilson. Thankfully, most comics are online as-is (i.e. GoComics.com) and since I haven't read a paper in ages (especially since The Grand Rapids Press brown noses the Republicans), people in New York should cry not.
But the question is, will the comic strip survive the next 50 years? Sadly, young 20- and 30-somethings like me don't spend much time reading the paper, if at all. Many of the great strips of the 1980's and 90's - The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County - are long gone. Personally, my favorite "new" comic is Lio - drawn by Mark Tatulli who also draws Heart of the City - but it doesn't have the same following Calvin had back in the day.
Unless papers and syndicates do something, resistance is futile.

Bee-otched For: smacking around Five Finger Death Punch
---
In a world when many TV stations - including smaller ones - are controlled by big, evil media giants like Sinclair and Media General, we should be thankful that there's a few major network stations out there that are still locally owned.
WINK-TV in Fort Myers, FL is one of them, still being owned by the McBride family after 60 years of operation (WWTV in Cadillac here in Michigan is another independent). But sadly, small town news is still filled with bullshit that will make otherwise good people look bad.
Recently, the CBS affiliate took a shot at heavy metal gods Five Finger Death Punch after they ran a report where a nine-year-old girl named Olivia was at one of their concerts and was on her dad's arms when she was let on stage. Lead singer Ivan Moody went on to chant "burn motherfucker burn" repeatedly while the crowd repeated him while the girl was in Moody's arms. The girl's father, Mark Douglas, told WINK-TV that nine-year-olds like her will hear it everywhere: movies, TV, video games, you name it. Yes, it's a naughty word, but who the fuck cares.
However, WINK went to an attorney who watched the YouTube clip and claimed that it was abuse, plain and simple. He claimed that 5FDP's lyrics promote violence, plain and simple. They interviewed the sheriff of Lee County who worked to stop Ludacris from performing at the park where 5FDP performed, claiming that they're working to protect children from the profanities made by rappers and hard rockers.
WINK talked to some of the promoters of the concerts and claimed that they don't necessarily agree with what some of the bands have to say, it's up to the parents to decide what's good for their children. Meanwhile, WINK also found other videos of Moody taking kids up stage and having them yell the same phrase, "burn motherfucker burn!"
So, slow day for news in Fort Myers, huh, WINK? So rock and rap is bad, huh? How about regular pop music where we have Slutty Cyrus dancing around on an inflatable penis or Ke$ha chugging her own pee? Or country music which has a deep and rich history of racism or oldies and classic rock acts who are missing more than half their members because they all died from drug use? How about Christian bands whose members are all rich off of God's word like evil televangelists?
The point is: ALL MUSIC IS EVIL! Kids will listen to what's good for them and if parents don't like it, it's their problem. Controversial music has always been around since the dark ages and we've lived through it all. Personally, I'd rather have a kid who likes 5FDP over some bubble gum shit that they'll regret that they listened to when they were nine.
Rock 'n roll is here to stay, my friend....

Bee-otched For: hiding Casey

When I think about this situation, I think of the theme song of a 1990's kid's game show that was sung in a capella.
OK, it's Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
But now, Rockapella needs to do another version of that catchy theme as Where in the World is Casey Kasem? because he was indeed missing.
Last night, the radio legend was discovered in Washington state; he hadn't been seen in over a week because of more legal troubles between his wife Jean and his three children from a previous marriage, Mike, Kerri and Julie. It was believed that the 82-year-old, who has dementia and cannot talk was nowhere in America.
Kasem retired from hosting his radio countdown shows in 2009 for virtually unknown reasons such as the fact that he was in his 70's at the time. However, many like myself noticed that Kasem's voice started sounding hoarse and his speech wasn't as good as it once was. More recently, it was discovered that Kasem has been dealing with a form of dementia, not Parkinson's Disease as once thought.
Kasem's battle was once kept private, but it became public when Kerri Kasem staged a protest in front of her father and stepmother, Jean Kasem's home last year. Kerri claimed that Jean has been preventing Casey's three children from ex-wife Linda Myers in part due to the fact that neither one of them are in the family will. However, Kerri has said that it's not about the money, but it's about being with their ill father. Kerri also claims that when she and her brother and sister see their father, it's only for a few minutes at a time and with an armed guard.
For months, Kerri has fought for visitation rights and last week a judge gave her custodial rights. However, shortly before the ruling was made, Jean abruptly took Casey out of the Los Angeles area hospital where he resides to whereabouts unknown. It was first believed that Casey was taken to a Washington state Indian reservation, then it was believed that he is nowhere in America. A judge ordered an investigation for Casey's whereabouts.
A lot of people loved Jean Kasem for years, but she has emerged as the evil villain in this case. It's pathetic that this lying cunt basically married this entertainment legend for his money. QUICK! Name a movie Jean Kasem appeared in! Thought so.
All I can say is that I hope Casey is safe and is getting the care he needs. Jean needs to be thrown in jail for putting a man at the tail end of his life and the rest of his family into such misery. The law is the law. Kerri is a better caregiver for her dad and I'm glad they found him safe and sound.
Casey taught us to keep our feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. Jean needs to learn how not to drop the soap.

Bee-otched For: still being an idiot

A few weeks after he was banned for life from the NBA, Donald Sterling is still acting like a total moron.
The embattled Clippers owner talked to CNN's Anderson Cooper about how he was sorry he made the comments about blacks attending Clipper games, but then he made a quip about Ervin "Magic" Johnson and the fact that people look to him as a role model even though in his words, "has AIDS".
Sterling talked about the fact that Johnson slept with many women throughout his NBA career, which ended 20 years ago when he announced that he was HIV-positive. Johnson doesn't even have full-blown AIDS and is probably in better shape now than when his diagnosis was announced.
Meanwhile, NBC's Savannah Guthrie watched the CNN interview with Sterling's estranged wife, Shelly, who claims that Sterling might be coming down with dementia. She's also angry at the NBA because her husband's ban from the league extends to her since she owns 50% of the Clippers franchise. It's up to fellow NBA team owners if the Sterlings will still own the team or be forced to sell it.
Johnson has commented on the matter, stating that he'll pray for Sterling. Rumors are speculating that he wants to purchase the team - valued at over a billion dollars - but others like Oprah and Jeff Bezos have offered their interest as well. Johnson owns several businesses, including a portion of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a movie theatre chain and the rights to Soul Train.
You know, I can't wait until this travesty is over. I feel bad that the Clippers - once one of the NBA's red-headed stepchildren - are now one of the league's hottest teams and this is what they get: a racist owner. If the NBA forces the Sterlings to sell, good. I hope it happens. Mr. Sterling's a douchebag and a scumbag, plain and simple.
Even though Magic Johnson is HIV-positive, Donald Sterling is foaming at the mouth.

Bee-otched For: living her life like Fred Phelps... and getting owned by a slushie
---
The good news is that Fred Phelps is no longer with us.
The bad news is that his minions will live on just like people who think that Adolf Hitler was a genius.
On Mothers Day Sunday, Christian author Christine Weick, author of the book and website Explain This! stood at a street corner right across the Walgreen's on 44th Street in Grandville with a huge sign reading "hug your mom today for not being gay". A cameraman for local NBC affiliate WOOD-TV saw her and interviewed her. As she was spelling her name, a young woman, Jessica Prince came out of the woodwork and threw a slush drink at her, calling her a "dumb fucking bitch" and flipping her off. Weick threatened Prince with mace while flipping her off. Prince then talked to Weick about what she was doing was not showing courage and that she was hoping that a car would hit her. The two basically tell each other that they will burn in hell for what they're doing (and why WOOD-TV bleeped the word "hell" is beyond me but "balls" is OK), but in all truth, most people were on Prince's side instead of Ms. Weick's.
Sadly, Grandville Police want to subpoena Prince for assaulting Weick, who told WOOD-TV that she doesn't want to press charges against her, but rather would have lunch with her instead.
Weick is definitely a kook; not only is she angry over not getting much support of her views on gays, but she even trashed Monster Energy Drink on her website because she claims that their logo is a symbol for 666, the number of the beast. True, God bless her for knowing her Bible, but whoops, she skipped a verse: “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." - Luke 6:37.
Also, Weick should know that the Bible forbids a lot of things, such as tattoos, eating seafood and eating a ham sandwich. And when was the last time anybody protested a tattoo parlor or Long John Silver's?
Look, there's a lot of sick people standing on the intersections here in Grand Rapids, whether it's bums begging for change (and end up blowing it all at the liquor store) or people like Christine Weick who are hellbent on ending homosexuality once and for all. I think this bitch needs to go back home to Hopkins and rot for the rest of her life (I wonder if her family owns the Weick's Foodtown in Shelbyville and formerly Hopkins? If so, time to boycott). The homophobes of today echo the racists of the 1960's.
And once again, it was Jesus who proclaimed "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone" on Mt. Olive in the book of John.

Bee-otched For: forcing their employees to live like bums
---
It's a shame when a company that made $16 billion last year can't pay their employees jack shit.
But hey! That's Walmart 4 ya.
Last weekend, a Wally World employee, Pam Ramos wrote a scathing article on Salon.com about how she is being forced to sleep on her son's living room floor because she only makes $200 per week working for their store in Mountain View, CA. It was the store that President Obama visited last weekend, and she claimed that she wasn't given the chance to talk to him about raising the minimum wage. The store was closed while the president was there and she wasn't given the opportunity to talk about how she doesn't even make $25,000 per year and she's hurting.
In the article, Ramos mentions that she's lucky to work 32 hours per week and that her lunch only consists of a bag of potato chips. She is now even forced to stretch her money even further because she started feeling ill and that her doctor thinks it's colon cancer. Because of her bills, she's being forced to live with her son on her living room floor.
Like I mentioned not too long ago, 50 years ago, GM was the biggest employer in America and they paid their workers $50 per hour adjusted to today's inflation. But now, Walmart's on top, and the average worker there only makes $8 per hour and they don't work a 40-hour week. A huge chunk of their employees live on food stamps and Medicaid because they cannot afford anything on the lousy wages they make. It's sad that even people like me who don't shop at Walmart still support them with our tax dollars because of the Walton's stinginess.
I won't be surprised if Ms. Ramos isn't the first person with a Walmart horror story. I don't give two flying fucks if they claim that 400 associates get promoted every day or if they're dumping $250 billion into rebuilding jobs in America. The damage is done.
Obama and the government both need to push legislation HARD to boost the minimum wage and to help all Americans low in the 99%. It's time to force the 1% to pay up. The higher the taxes for the rich, the better people live.
Maybe they should learn what it's like to sleep on a floor.

Bee-otched For: ruining the Olympics for another 18 years
---
If you were going to have a kid soon, by the time it moves out of the house, NBC would have hopefully aired its final Olympics.
NBCUniversal announced yesterday that it will air the event until at least 2032. The deal will cost the media giant at least $7.75 billion. Years ago, NBC paid $3.5 billion to carry the games from 2000 to 2012 and $4.4 billion to carry all games through 2022.
However, many feel that NBC's Olympic coverage is inferior to other networks in other countries, such as the BBC or CBC's. NBC notoriously tape-delays games to prime time for ratings purposes, especially if the games are in a country several time zones away. Some even blasted NBC when during the opening ceremonies at the London games a few years ago, they decided to air an interview from Tinker Bell himself, Ryan Seacrest in the place of a tribute to the victims of the 7/7 attacks.
What's even more cringeworthy is that the IOC didn't accept bids this time for network rights; they approached NBC themselves. After all, criticism or not, the London Olympics were the highest-rated in US TV history. The next games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 might be easier for NBC since they're only one time zone away from the eastern US, but it'll be exciting to see if the Peacock will lovingly dick it up.
Nonetheless, maybe Bob Costas will get a blue nose next time around.

Bee-otched For: trying to link strip clubs to sex trafficking
---
This Thursday will be a taxing day for Michigan strip clubs.
That day, a state senate committee will be hearing about human trafficking, a crime that seems to be quite big here in Michigan. But somehow, the creator of the bill, Republican senator Judy Emmons, claims that strip clubs are major sources of trafficking.
In her bill, Emmons would force women working in strip clubs to have permits and forcing strip club customers to pay taxes. Many feel that this is not a way to help reduce human trafficking, but rather help screw over the operations such clubs in the state of Michigan.
And oh yes, Emmons has an (R) after her name.
As some of you know, I was a semi-regular to Deja Vu in Kalamazoo for years. In my years attending that place, I have NEVER been asked by a girl for sex once and I've never even had personal relationships with one, either. The picture that Emmons wants to paint of strip clubs are that they're sleazy and filled with girls who'll do anything to get your dick in their mouth. Truth is, about 99.9% of all strip clubs are the exact opposite. They're clean, they're classy and the girls are not prostitutes. To be honest, in the 12 years I've lived here in west Michigan, the only girls whom I've had the best relationships with are all strippers.
If people like Emmons wants to close all the strip clubs in Michigan, does this mean that the only way to see a girl's twat in the raw is to either A) go to Canada where the strip clubs are a lot more wild than they are here in Michigan or B) drug and rape a woman off the street?
Folks, this is why I don't vote Republican. I'm a friend to the strip club industry and not one to a group of people who want to tax the middle class til they're poor while they give their wealthy buddies the best tax breaks known to mankind. Wanna fight human trafficking? Go after the Chinese restaurants and other businesses where people are getting screwed daily. Once again, the Repukes only care about the peanuts while the elephants walk by.

Yesterday at work, I was thisclose to puking on my Samsung Galaxy III.
I had a break in the action and decided to check out my Facebook when I saw a VERY disgusting image: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck all promoting Cheap Channel's IHeartRadio app.
You know, Clear Channel's app that streams all of their shitty-assed radio stations and says that you can create your own station? Yeah, that one.
As a Sirius refugee, I've been more reliant on music apps on my phone instead of slapping down $13/mo. that I don't have. Since I haven't had a real raise in a decade - like most of us - I had to dump the stardog last year. Slacker has been great, but Pandora sucks, especially regarding their hard rock and metal stations. Samsung's Milk app is the best, since it's programmed by Slacker and is commercial-free.
So, why in the fucking hell would I WANT to waste my precious disk space on my phone on Cheap Channel's shitty app, especially if they carry right-winged shit shows?
Another app I have is TuneIn, which has a channel called "Progressive Voices" that carries all the major liberal talkers (Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, etc.). Yesterday, I was listening to a little bit of Steph talking about how Rush's new stations in New York and Los Angeles are TANKING. Even worse, El Rushbo's new station in Los Angeles was Stephanie's old station; she was canned due to "poor ratings", and guess what? RUSH'S RATINGS ARE MUCH WORSE! Previously, Rush was on KFI, a 50,000-watter that booms throughout California and the western US plus Mexico. However, KEIB - formerly KTLK - has a very highly-directional signal and a lot of the conservative areas of L.A. are in the nulls.
You see, Cheap Channel moving Rush around proves a point: when a weak station bombs in the ratings, it's not due to the content. IT'S BECAUSE THE SIGNAL SUCKS! When Air America was launched, CC flipped some of their weaker AMs to liberal talkers. They did improve somewhat in the ratings, but not enough to keep the format viable. So, when Air America went belly-up, it was because of Cheap Channel wanting to prove that liberals have no place on talk radio. But yet, Rush's new stations have been proven disasters so far.
It's a proven fact: CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO IS DYING! Look at my old stomping grounds of northern Michigan: WTCM recently went live and local - save for Rush from Noon to 3 p.m. - from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. As a matter of fact, their midday show is a bunch of old yentas yakking it up! Much of WTCM's local content is very Chamber of Commercey, featuring everything from "Ask the Lawyer" to somebody from the local bank teaching people how to open a checking account.
Yes, WTCM's local talk might be as effective as Ambien, but at least it's not Sean Hannity, who was demoted to 9 p.m. to Midnight. Even more laughable, WTCM's rivals - WJML, WMKT and WYPV to name a few - are ratings duds.
Even though liberal talk is seldom heard on corporate-owned radio stations big and small, at least they're on channels like Progressive Voices and all you need is a smartphone. Clear Channel thinks that they can dominate with IHeartRadio, but truth is, why have it? Why would I want to support a company that's $18 billion in debt and spends big bucks on right-winged hate? Yet, they can local jocks to save money!
IMHO, CC needs to wake up. I look at Randi Rhodes and wonder why CC was anxious to get rid of her. If she was on some of their 50,000-watters, she would be a superstar. But, nooooo! Rush Limbaugh hates her guts and he would never work with her. The good news is that his contract will expire in the not-too-distant future and CC will wonder who will be their next talk radio superstar.
Here's a clue: when that happens, their current audience will be old enough to die.
