Is it true that in Los Angeles two rival documentary film crews got into a fight over access to a foreclosure eviction proceedings event at a movie star's mansion?

 

If there is going to be an unused football stadium in San Francisco, how likely is it that some concert promoter will convince some altruistic rock musicians to do a benefit concert there to help the Occupy San Francisco protesters bail fund?   Folks could urge support from the SF City Council by singing:   "All we are sa-a-a-ying is give Rock a chance!"   It would be a No Nukes Muse type concert for the "No Crooks" cause of those folks who have been exploited all the way out of their foreclosed homes.

 

Did Yankee fans meekly surrender "the House that Ruth built" and get an inferior replacement?   Are they paying more for tickets to the new venue?  

 

Didn't Oakland have to provide the Raiders' owner with all kinds of perks to get him to move his team from Los Angeles back to Oakland?   Didn't he get all sorts of breaks to go down to L.A.?   Are tax breaks like sex and drugs in that "you can never have enough!"?

 

Is it time for sports fans to Occupy the empty football stadium and join together for their own good and form a union or are they afraid of being labeled "socialists" by Uncle Rushbo.   (Doesn't he usually get to sit in the owner's suite when he goes to a sporting event?)

 

Leo Durocher, the manager of the New York Giants provided a T-shirt suggestion for the one percenters when he said:   "Nice guys finish last."

 

Now the disk jockey will play Teresa Brewer's "I Love Mickey" (featuring Mickey Mantle), which is not to be confused with "Gimme Mick," "Do you know the way to San Jose," and the Stones' "Street Fightin' Man."   We gotta go dig out our "No Nukes" T-shirt.   Have a "Go Hotspurs!" type week.

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
