It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, and the fattest hookers in the land were still roaming the countryside to ply their trade.

Fox News: "Gary Johnson could catch presidential race by surprise" How, by gaining 3% of the vote this time? Eliminate the 15% polling requirement for debate access (for candidates on enough ballots for conceivable victory), and THEN Johnson could pull off a surprise in November...then again, I'm absolutely shocked I've seen three mainstreams articles on Johnson's LP candidacy. I may need the big needle from Pulp Fiction if I see three more between now and then...

According to pollster/author/Fox News contributor Douglas Schoen, the former New Mexico governor is polling between 6-9% nationally at the moment. Must only be his polling company even mentioning Johnson. When I was still in the market research game during the Obama ascension, we never even got close to rhyming the word libertarian, and given the buzz this year, I see little to make me think it's going to be even a damn sight better.

And before you ask, it is outstandingly easy to get and stay cynical. For all the hot mess we have had shoveled at our feet about the need for bipartisanship, the only real bipartisanship we've seen in decades is the collusion between the two major parties to keep out viable third parties like the Libertarians and independent candidates, unless they have the obscene amounts of cash to get enough polling to even make it near a debate stage.

Headline on MSNBC's Morning Joe: Romney clashes with reporter on the issues. Yeah, fuck, wouldn't that be nice?

All we gonna hear about from now until November is the dog on the roof, the new and sadly ripped from the other bullshit headlines "bullying" story starting to circulate, and "how rich is he?" jokes, some better than others.

Current USA Today/Gallup polls have Romney ahead of Obama on the economy. That's not saying much, though. Some jerky ass' Super Bowl predicting chicken or that fucking groundhog in Pennsylvania could run ahead of Obama on the economy right now.

Although it is kind of a guilty pleasure to watch Mika Brzezinski sit there with that cute little "trying to concentrate" look, acting interested until someone comes on to plug a book or her dad pops back up.

Yeah, so the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions were last night, and as I have said pretty much every year since they opened the doors on the place, yawn.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame my balls. ABBA and Blondie are in the Hall of Fame, but not Stevie Ray Vaughn, Cheap Trick, Rush, or KISS. The place is a parody, a missing joke from the cutting room floor of a Spinal Tap bit (even they should be in the HoF instead of freakin' ABBA!).

So the big news was the absence of Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose, who had declined the honor in an open letter earlier in the week. Alterbridge vocalist Myles Kennedy filled in for the band's set (nothing new for those who have seen him perform with Slash on past shows), but it was crystal clear the audience was unimpressed with the latest "no one freakin' asked" primadonna pose from Axl Rose. Whatever. I mean, even if the guy showed, he'd run 45 minutes late, then actually pop up on stage for five or ten before waddling back to the green room to tell Lana Del Ray more about what it's like to be famous...

And why would they be impressed? Why should they be impressed. Perhaps no one in the entire history of recorded music is as smug a reminder of buying into your own hype as Axl Rose. Perhaps no one personifies having it all, then collapsing under the weight of his own self-importance.

Then again, I'm hardly the only one with this basic opinion. This is pretty much a no-brainer for anyone who grew up in the 80s and beyond. Even Donald Trump holds pretty much the same opinion as I (proof he's smarter than he looks?).

Then again, out of all the acts inducted, the only two that could perform (as intended) were the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Donovan (Donovan?!?). I'm not going to dog those who couldn't make it from illness, like Rod Stewart or Adam Yauch, but Donovan? It's too bad the induction ceremony is being shown May 5 (heavily edited as always) on HBO, as A) I will in all likelihood be attending some form of Kentucky Derby party, and B) I don't subscribe to HBO, so I can't scan the crowd for disappointed faces from making it to a once-in-a-lifetime event, only to have it suck harder than a VH1 Divas concert.

Anyhow, on to next year, when they will probably end up inducting a veritable who's who of why's that again?, with potential candidates including:
  • Kylie Minogue
  • Edie Brickell & New Bohemians
  • Paula Abdul
  • Winger
  • Sir Mix-a-Lot
Maybe I'll get lucky, and whoever the crap-throwing yokels are who determine the nominees will get two right: Living Colour (a must!) or King's X (longshot from hell). Then again, judging from this year's fiasco, I'd have a better shot at winning a Mega Millions jackpot...or discovering a new planet.

This week, we're gonna be honest- with the Easter weekend being the slowest news weekend in recent memory, and with the tax deadline looming, it's going to be a potluck kinda show tonight: although Tom's gonna touch on whether or not Newt Gingrich is even going to be able to afford to continue his campaign with the departure of Rick Santorum, the continuing Trayvon Martin fiasco, and getting hassled by the Louisville Metro Police Department this afternoon, along with the usual other points of fascination to be determined, time willing...

Wow, this is awkward. I don't much care for Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen, and it has absolutely nothing at all to do with his remarks about Fidel Castro. Personally, I could give two shits and a fuck about what any MLB manager, player, owner, mascot, et cetera thinks about world affairs. I don't care much for Guillen from his time as skipper of that other baseball team in Chicago, you know...the team that isn't my beloved Cubs. The one our President roots for, if memory serves correct.

Having said that, I find the concept of the Marlins suspending Guillen for five games in the wake of protests about the remarks from a interview with Time's website completely fucking ludicrous. Take this quote from the Miami Herald website's ongoing coverage:

“Ozzie is quick at the mouth; always has been,” said Andy Gomez, an assistant provost and senior fellow at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami. “He’s a great manager, but he should stick to something he knows.”

Exactly. The guy's a loudmouth, sure. He was, once again, outside of his wheelhouse when he made those remarks, so why the fuck is there so much protest over someone who apparently doesn't know what the fuck he's talking making a statement that plays right into that very notion? For a team to suspend him five games over this? Maybe appropriate, but I'm leaning toward reactionary on this one. What I want to know is, how many games is it for calling Bud Selig a shriveled-ass punk cocksucker?
