Why they are Jerks…The eight kids are ok. I can’t really hate on them.  But Jon and Kate have taken over the Bearcat house.  Mrs. Bearcat was consumed this weekend by TLC’s Memorial Day Marathon of all 96 one hour episodes of this screaming kids, poopy diaper reality TV garbage.  (I hate the word, poopy… it’s the gay cousin of shit and crap)  Jon and Kate are on the cover of every single trash-azine, from People and Us Weekly to OK and Star.  Why are these pillars of progeny proliferation appearing on every thrashy publication?  Because they may be “growing apart.”  Jon was seen (are you sitting down) leaving a party with a woman and rumors have been swirling that Kate likes to bump uglies (and after 8 kids it would be pretty ugly) with her bodyguard.  If you ask me the real story should be how effectively Jon and Kate have manipulated their second rate reality TV show into two books, five seasons on basic cable, their own production company (Figure 8 productions) and now a strangle hold on the grocery checkout line magazine racks.  How in the world do central PA nobodies bounce Lindsay, Aniston, the Cruises and Brad Pitt off the covers?  By creating a story line where their perfect lives appear to be crumbling.  I don’t think Jon has cheated and I seriously doubt Kate is going to let a body guard tryst keep her from continuing to cash checks worth 50K an episode.  The whole story is a fabrication.  How do you keep the drama going for a fifth season following a family where the star attraction (those cute little crap factories) are growing up and might lead to fatigue in the number of viewers… family strife!!! This whole thing is a con… and that makes Jon and Kate + made up infidelity = Jerk Store enrollment.

Desmond Hatchett:

Why he’s a Jerk… you probably don’t know Desmond Hatchett, a 29 year old man from Tennessee and most likely neither will most of his twenty-one children… that’s right he has 21 kids.  Mr. Hatchett has fathered twenty-one kids to eleven different women. You thought Travis Henry had a lot of kids, he's got nothing on this guy. By the way he says he is "done having children"… glad to hear he has had enough. While appearing before a judge regarding child support he was asked why he has so many children he responsed: “I don’t know it just happened.”  What he probably wanted to say was: “Do I wear condoms?  Fuck no! Condom’s take away all the feeling.  Never wear condoms.  And those bitches I mean, mothers of my children, they was beggin’ for me to give it to’em… I’m only a man… they want the Desmond… they get the Desmond.  Who am I to say no Judge?”  Mr. Hatchett is currently working a minimum wage job.  State law only allows for half of his paycheck to be garnished for child support.  Divided 21 different ways and some mothers are getting less then two dollars a month.  Needless to say this man jerk needs a vasectomy. Welcome to the Jerk Store Desmond Hatchett… No, you may not use the phone to call Maury Povich.

The New York Times:

Why it’s a Jerk… This weekend the New York Times claimed that they knew about Watergate first.  This is akin to England saying they found the New World before Columbus but did not tell anyone until after World War II.  One of the biggest stories in the history of Journalism was broke by The Washington Post through the reporting of Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward.  Columbus found the New World not someone else. This is basic stuff. 

The New York Times which is finding it difficult to remain relevant in the 21^st century is talking about the glory days of newspapers and trying to show they were part of one of the biggest news stories of all time.  It comes down to this.  IF (and that is a big if) they knew about the Watergate break-in, the illegal tax audits and wiretapping then why the hell did they not print it first?  You can’t come along 35 years later and pretend like you were part of the history.  You just can’t.  It doesn’t work that way.  But at least we will not have to be with this Jerk for too much longer.  They have a dwindling readership and no wonder.  Have you picked up a New York Times recently?  The Sunday edition cost five bucks.  Five dollars for news paper… so they are both ethically and economically bankrupt.

Links

I know it has been a really long time since I did a links posting... mostly because I have not had much time for surfing the net... but here are a couple that are all must clicks.

Baseball... the game that will kill you. This weeks #1 must read. Best line: "Given the fetish for statistics in baseball, it was probably inevitable that someone would get around to recording this, too: the number of people baseball has rendered incapable of generating more statistics."

The first NFL Power Rankings are out... and guess what.  The Steelers are number one... kind of.  They are tied with the New England Patriots.  That is the same New England Patriots who last year failed to make the playoffs.  I hate pre-season power rankings.

Jose Canseco fought a 7' 2" Korean kickboxer in a cage... he tapped out after on minute and sixteen seconds. He lasted about one minute and twelve seconds longer than I would but I continue to feel better about myself because my penis still works and has not been destroyed by roids. 

Twins conjoined at the... WAIT conjoined where?!?! (NSFW)

Thanks for coming and suckling on Daddy's Sugar Ball...
