***Update: Ok, I tried to post this on September 23rd. Somehow it looks like it didn't post, which is weird because I got emails about it. So, yeah, posting again?
Yesterday was my first wedding anniversary. It was rad. Best part? My wife got us tickets to the 49ers vs. Seahawks game at Candlestick. Yeah, the home of Montana, Rice, Young, Lott, the list goes on.
Now, if the 49ers can manage to show up to play it'll be a good game and I just want to see a well played game. If the last two weeks are any indication the 49ers need some work. But if they suck all season and the Seahawks actually turn out to be a Super Bowl contender (not likely considering the history of Seattle sports teams) then more power to them.
But all the rivalry hoopla is tiresome. Cowboys vs Redskins it's not. The Hawks and 49ers have only been in the same division for the last 10 years and the rivalry didn't really gain steam until the Carroll and Harbaugh eras began, very recently, because they were rivals in the PAC 10 in NCAA football, which means it doesn't even really have anything to do with the two teams or cities...
Anyway, I may be the only person in the world that actually likes both these teams but I don't give a shit because I get to go see the two teams I grew up a fan of from the two cities I've lived and worked in play football at Candlestick Park and it's gonna be f-ing rad! Now I only have to avoid getting shanked on the way to the game... Unrabble!-B

Quote of the Week
"I said, like 9/11, 'Let's roll!'" Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, told
msnbc.com after a meeting of GOP lawmakers, referencing the rallying cry
for passengers on Flight 93 who fought to retake the plane on Sept. 11,
2001.
So you're comparing a disagreement in congress, while you're all cozy in your leather chair in your safe little office, to retaking a jet from hijackers that ends up crashing in a fiery wreck saving untold numbers of American lives whilst sacrificing your own? Is that what you're doing? I just want to be clear, that's what you're comparing your current predicament to? Oh, it is. Well, you're a giant, fucking hemorrhidic asshole. Fuck you John Culberson. You should be recalled, ya dick! Rabble-B

Seriously?
Prince William to get 2 weeks of paternity leave
William is the first senior royal to receive statutory paternity leave.
He gets two paid weeks off? From what? What does he do?
He's a Royal Airforce search and rescue pilot. Sure he is. You think the next King of England is really allowed to put his life at risk rescuing commoners? Doubtful. He has a lifetime of paid time off, he's a prince and will be KING OF ENGLAND soon enough.
We waste and insane amount of money on truly dumb shit in our country but this definitely takes the cake. Rabble-B

Worse than golf? Yes.
There's not many sports or activities worse that golf but competition sailing has it all over golf for lowest rung. The America's Cup is being held in San Francisco Bay this year and all it's gonna be is a pain in the ass, just like the qualifying rounds they raced last year. It snarls traffic, costs a shit ton of money (and doesn't really bring in as much as they say) and takes precedent over normal use of publicly owned parks like Crissy Field and fucks up ferry and ship traffic in the biggest waterway on the west coast.
Worse yet, it has to be the whitest, richest and most elitist sport in the world. The sponsors range from Oracle to Prada and there's hardly even any boats competing. What does Prada have to do with water sports? It's not like the Indy 500, in the Louis Vitton Cup, a sub race under the America's Cup banner, only three boats are competing in the entire thing! How is that fun? How does that actually feel like competition? I mean run it three times and you'll probably win once.
Even better, the Cup organizers actually advertised Alcatraz as a viewing spot with a media center for the races biggest sponsors. Arrogant as that is, apparently they forgot to ask the National Park Service if that would be okay when it was brought to NPS they said no. Hah! Fuck you America's Cup pricks. You can't just impose your will on what the rest of us own.
Now host your stupid race and get out of my town! I hope all the boats sink. Rabble-B

So, I saw a dead body today
It was covered with a yellow, police tarp but was most definitely a dead human.
Apparently, very early this morning person was walking or standing on the University street overpass in Berkeley (there is no sidewalk) and was hit and run by a vehicle. The police drove by and found the body at 5:10am. How long had it been there? Did anyone witness the incident? Was it intentional or an accident? Uh, dunno. But yeah, that's really awful and just crazy! Brossif really ran someone over and just took off?!
But, why care, right? It won't do any good. If they every find the dickwad that did it he'll get off anyway. Rabbletown USA-B

"post script in crooked lines"
I really want to believe in the freedom and fairness of our country and our justice system but yesterday's verdict in the Zimmerman case is just the latest example of miscarriage of justice in our country. The system doesn't work and has failed countless times.
I don't know why everyone is so shocked. It's horrible and tragic and we kind of expected this to happen. Justice in such high profile cases (and plenty of ones you never hear about) is so rare. Remember Casey Anthony? That was only a year ago.
Moral of the story? Do whatever the fuck you want. If you're truly a big enough asshole you'll probably get away with it. Rabble-B
