Not Guilty?!?!

Casey Anthony is not guilty of anything except lying to police?  Is this not the biggest fucking travesty since OJ Simpson?

Lindsay began watching this case while being the stay-at-home mom and got me hooked a few weeks ago, and literally, it was always on in the apartment.  We were intrigued and captivated by it all.  And the last thing we expected was a "not guilty" verdict on decision day.  The worst part was we were driving in the car back from MV today when the decision was made not being able to watch - luckily I found an AM station live from the courthouse so we could listen live to the verdict.  I swear, it was like being a sports fan and cheering for your favorite team.  I was a fan of Team Ashton (the prosecutor for the state of Florida), who I thought was hitting homeruns all case long.  He is said to be retiring following this ridiculous outcome.  I would too - he's had a great career and to be a part of this abortion of a verdict would make me rethink my decision to continue as well.

And to make matters worse, they said her attorney, Jose Baez (now the #1 lawyer in America), was out celebrating at a bar.  Give me a break!

I'm entitled to my opinions, and as you all know will voice them in their entirety, and I truly think the justice system is flawed in this country.  We poll from the middle class only it seems, but we should reach out to the rich and the poor for jury duty. 

Another thing - these jurors were sequestered the entire case - no contact with the outside world - phone calls, television, telephone, internet - NOTHING!  Do you not think they wanted to get the fuck outta there and come to a conclusion?  I wouldn't be surprised if there were two or three jurors who thought she was guilty but figured what's the point, we're not going to change 9 or 10 other minds.  And I really believe that.  It's a God damn shame that this woman got away with murder.

The bottom line is, in Florida, you can kill someone, skirt the truth and make up cockamamie stories for a few weeks, lie to a cop, lie to your family, wait for things to decompose and become untraceable, lie to more cops, and eventually you'll be acquitted of murder. 

I hate to admit it, but I am pissed off over this bullshit verdict.  Voice your opinions, please, if you've been watching this thing.

Goodnight.

WTF!; Lock(ed) Out; 4th; Lohan

WTF!
Lindsay and I went over to Target (a totally slummy version in the Bronx) to get some last minute things before our trip to Martha's Vineyard this weekend (all four of us are going).  Waiting in line in said Target is always a disaster - there's 12 registers open and there's always 5  people at each line - a fucking huge traffic jam.

So our line was "10 Items or Less" - which in the Bronx, means "100 Items or Less" because the people in front of us had three bags full of shit and a $100.64 total.  A big ass woman with jeggings on that really displayed her repulsive, enormous cottage cheese ass and her pimp boyfriend were the culprits.  I can give a shit because they were done ringing up their stuff before we got to the line, but what happened next is exactly why the economy gets a bad rep.

$100.64.  No big deal.  No food, however - just clothes and whatever the fuck else they had in their three bags.  $100.64.  "I got $40" says the guy to the gargantuan woman.  They proceeded to empty their wallets trying to piece together the purchase and when all was said and done, they used THREE credit cards and the $40 in the guys wallet.

I will do the math for you.  $100.64 - $40.00 = $60.64.  $60.64/3 (credit cards) = $20.21.  They only had, on average, a $20.21 available credit on each card.  ARE YOU F***** KIDDING ME!?!

Lock(ed) Out
I am just hours away from a lockout.  Owners and players cannot get along here at WRT, so a shut down is imminent.  Baseball is the only sport left that is not locked out - and hockey, but that just ended.  I know there really aren't that many people too wrapped up with the FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany.

Tonight, I'll discuss several things that people actually give a shit about, all while enjoying a nice glass of vino.

We'll look into the Google trends.  Aaaaaaand go:

nba lockout - who gives a shit?  LeBone forgot to show up for the Finals and everyone was ecstatic.  Now there's gonna be no NBA - no problem with this guy.
chris hansen - of "To Catch a Predator" fame got caught cheating on his wife with a news anchor in Florida - oh the irony.  I think he really was into the mole on her lip.
casey anthony case - I can't get enough of this shit, it's like a drug.  I began watching because Linds was watching.  I even put off showering for two hours to watch this (I did eventually shower).
gwyneth paltrow - apparently she's got some hot photos in the next issue of Vanity Fair.  Here's the picture.

4th
I don't mess with fireworks, but I enjoy seeing them.  I took pictures last year during the fireworks extravaganza in MV but they're so boring - it's just a bunch of lights in a dark sky.  This year, I am just going to take it all in and probably take pictures of Nolan's reaction, even though he'll probably be passed out.

Lohan
Fresh off her release from house arrest, EXTRA just ran a story on television stating that Lindsay Lohan stumbled and was drunk coming out of the club.  Some people are so stupid - she wants people to feel bad for her?  You're a rich alcoholic (I think you're rich) - ridiculous.

OK, time to pack a little bit and try to cool off.  This apartment is so hot and humid - I figure being in the corner apartment would trap some wind on the 10th floor - apparently not.

Truly yours, sweltering.

WTF! Wednesday

Here's some food for thought - if you go out and choose to wear a pair of pants/shorts with belt loops and a tucked in shirt, would you wear a belt?

The answer is universal - YES!  Oh but hold the phone - I saw 4 people in the past two days who violated this simple yet hard-to-master technique.  The fucking loops are there for a reason - for a belt!  Go ahead and wear a shoelace around your waist.  Use a rope.  Use SOMETHING!  Don't walk around with your shirt tucked in and no belt on - you look like a douche.  Here's a very old forum that discussed this.

Again, I forgot to snap photos of these boobs and they terribly low fashion IQ's but I will add a few photos from a Google search:

Belt-free khaki - doofus!

I feel like this is silly looking too.

Here's another article written by a consummate professional regarding belt-wearing.  It's a must. 

It doesn't matter if your pants are tight? - who cares, wear a belt.
If you're pants are baggy? - definitely wear a belt.
Khaki pants with a polo tucked in? - belt it.
Denim with a tucked in t-shirt? - pull the shirt out and add a belt.

This is something that is so basic, so rudimentary, that it shouldn't even have to be addressed.  If it has loops, they're to be utilized.

Plain and simple - but not so simple for some guys to comprehend.  Women, for you, this article does not apply - or does it?
