Every contest has rules about how it will be decided. In most sports, there’s a time limit. When there’s not, there are an equal number of opportunities for each player to achieve the same thing. For example, in baseball, where there’s no time limit, there’s an equally fair way to determine who was the best. Another example that comes to mind is nine-ball (billiards).

In politics, there is a system with rules and equal opportunities (theoretically, just play along for now).

I just finished watching a baseball game in which the Texas Rangers entered the bottom of the 9th inning down 6-5. They scored a sixth run with no outs. With only one out, they scored a seventh run and the game was over.

What about the other 2 outs? There were (at least) two more guys waiting to bat. The record books will forever show that the Rangers won the game with a score of 7-6. But they could’ve won it by a score of 8-6 or 9-6 or even 10-6. Why is the game over? Because the other team has no chance to win under the rules of the game.

This little rant was inspired by a stand up comedy show I watched tonight prior to the game. It was new, as in: recorded in 2005. The moron performing (Jeff Cesario – a guy that used to be funny) actually said, “We have the number one democracy in the world. You don’t actually have to win an election to be president but we’re still number one!” The crowd went wild.

It has been nearly 5 years! Democrats and other ignorant leftists (Wait. That’s redundant.) are still whining that Bush didn’t “win” in 2000.

“I demand overtime because I know we’re better than you!”

The votes were counted. The votes were counted again. The votes were counted a third time. At no time during any count, even with all the shenanigans they were using to cheat, was Al Gore EVER ahead in Florida. Never. What part of that is difficult to understand?

The U.S. Supreme Court did not “choose Bush.” They rightly ruled that Al Gore, his lawyers and operatives and the Florida Supreme Court had conspired to unconstitutionally rewrite the rules after the fact to find a way to win. He was a cheater, he cheated, he still lost and they ruled that he was cheating. Game over. Five years ago!

In addition, there were no recounts in many other close states and in states where the vote is not close, all the votes are never counted. There is no such thing as a “popular vote” in a presidential election so Al Gore didn’t win that either. That was invented by the media and the left. Al Gore lost. Because of his stupidity and delusions, he lost again and again and again. He’s a loser.

I know it really hurts when you spend countless hours and lots of money to rig an election and still lose, but it happened. Cheaters never prosper. Na-na Na Na-na. It’s time to let it go you pretentious, obnoxious, pathological whiners.

Bush was elected president, legally. Twice.

Move on and see if you can find a human being to nominate for the 2008 election.

I don’t even particularly like Bush as president and I’ve never voted for him. But you Democrats need to grow up and learn how life works. You all act like a bunch of daycare or government school inmates. Maybe if you got some people that have actually held a real job at some point in their lives to run the party and be your candidates you could get somewhere…

Just a thought.

I spilled the dope on Chris Moneymaker a while back. I said then that he’s not qualified or capable of playing with the big guns. At the time, I was talking about the Poker Superstars Invitational and the fact that he wasn’t invited.

Now we have the Poker Superstars Invitational II. This was a much broader net. They invited 24 this time and Chris was included. How’s he doing, you ask?

I’m being proven right.

He’s been in last place since the first round and won’t be making the semi-final round. (By last place I mean, twenty-fourth out of twenty four.)

I have nothing against him. I really don’t. But his WSOP win in 2003 was a fluke and I would happily sit down at a table with him. When you’re sitting across from Johnny Chan, Huck Seed, Doyle Brunson and Scott Nguyen at the same table, things get tricky.

I would have no fear of sitting across from Chris Moneymaker. You can reduce that by half for the 2004 champion, Greg Raymer.

The WSOP ain’t what it used to be and the title is being cheapened in my opinion. That’s sad and doubly for me. I intend to win it someday. Lately, I’m wondering if it’s even a goal worth pursuing.

The first woman ever appointed to the Supreme Court is retiring, It’s about time. (Forget her and relish my capitalization there. You won’t see it again soon.)

Over and over and over and over and over again, she was THE deciding vote when the “supreme” court ruled on things that actually matter. She was almost always wrong. Good riddance. Thank God she’s (almost) gone.

Who should replace her?

ME! Me, me, me!

Phone your congresscritter and the retards that man the phones at the Whitehouse. Tell them, “We the people have decided a drunk monkey could do a better job than that ancient idiot. We’re glad she decided to stop oppressing us before she laid down to die. That’s kudos to her. Not since Abraham Lincoln has a single person done so much to damage this country.” (Go ahead! Tell them! They’ll think it’s a compliment!)

When you’re done, phone the White House and recommend that Dubya nominate me for the “su-preme” court. I know almost nothing about the law, but I have common sense. Ain’t it about time we got some of that back in there?
