The Onion is an equal opportunity offender.

the funniest Onion bit you ever posted was when the Staples Center roof collapsed during a Clippers game. I sent the link to all my NBA friends and ALL of them thought it was hilarious.

Finally. The Onion does a real piece.

Oh, come on. No one can look at these pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba and maintain the ludicrous belief that soccer is gay.

I'm applying late 1940s standards: If there exists a picture of you in your gutchies, and you're a male over 4, you're gay.

I remember once going to a comedy club and one of the standups did a monologue about the 'gay Olympics"... It was pretty predictable.

That's right!

Just as long as you don't try to play that clip in a Mexican restaurant than Mexicans frequent. You'd get a tongue-lashing at minimum.

Soccer in America will be popular when they break it up into quarters..Lots of Beer and snack commercials every 10 minutes...Shrink the field by 30% and just go for it...And when you get red carded you get to replace the player with a bigger, faster, meaner player off the bench..And what is this yellow red card? In the NBA you get to knock the crap out of somebody at least 5 times before you sit for awhile...

The US is doing decently in soccer these days, but I can't help thinking it should be better. For two generations now, little suburban boys by the millions have been dutifully carted to practice by vast hordes of Volvo and minivan driving soccer moms. A lot of these yuppie larvae have grown up, and then some, but the endless hours of mom-ordained soccer practice doesn't seem to have had the effect it should have.
Could it be that the association with mom and Volvo/minivan operation has caused an anti-soccer backlash among these young men?

Judge favored by BP has financial ties to oil industry

The judge that BP wants to hear an estimated 200 lawsuits over the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster gets tens of thousands of dollars a year in oil royalties and is paid travel expenses to industry conferences, financial disclosure forms show.

Lawyers who practice before U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes say he's tough but fair, and a CNN review of his cases found he ruled in favor of oil companies only slightly more often than he ruled against them. But his connections to the industry have raised eyebrows at a time when BP is under fire for the worst oil spill in U.S. history.

50,000 ultra-Orthodox rally in Israel over school desegregation

"There are 30,000 in Jerusalem and 20,000 in Bnei Brak," near Tel Aviv, spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP. "Streets in the immediate vicinity of the demonstrations are closed to traffic."

Thousands of police were on high alert as protestors rallied against a supreme court ruling to jail a group of parents of European origin, or Ashkenazis, who are refusing to send their daughters to a school with Jewish girls of Middle Eastern descent, or Sephardis.

Although the ruling effectively pitted the ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazis against the Sephardis, both communities have come together for a mass protest against what they see as the intolerable intervention of the secular state in their religious affairs.

A great team can beat the greatest player of all time....

re: #173 Killgore Trout

I think we have an article in this month's Playboy by RSM bragging about his influence.

I haven't read the whole article yet but I assume most of it is BS.

I find it hard to believe that sissywillis has ever had anything to do with Playboy.

Detroit owned the paint back then....OWNED it....enter at your own risk

This is why it's irritating when people use LGF Pages to post far right global warming denial propaganda:

[Link: www.dailykos.com...]

I wouldn't particularly care what anyone at Daily Kos thinks of LGF, but in this case it's completely unjustified. That Page does not represent my views at all, and it's frankly a bit embarrassing that it showed up here at all.

I'd like to encourage folks to click the plus/minus buttons to rate the Pages and spinoff links more -- it would really help to sort the better stuff out from this kind of denialist nonsense.

The media is pounding this meme but it has nothing to do with racism. There is religious snobbery but not discrimination based on skin color or ethnicity. This has to do with the secular High Court interfering in the lives of the religious community.

He stole the ball from Thomas who famously said," I forgot about Bird"

No comparison at all. They are more like the Amish and want to preserve their traditions. There is a difference of religious customs and laws. There is no racial component. AFP is taking a swipe at the Jews, yet again.

I haven't been paying attention, but it's probably something like "We lost the battle, but we haven't lost the war."

Jack Dempsey after his first fight with Tunney. Dempsey's wife asked "what happened, Ginsberg?" He replied, "Honey, I forgot to duck".

I dunno. They should've outclassed Mexico for 90 minutes.

great years when Detroit finally took it from Boston, and then Chicago took it from Detroit.....5-6 years of tremendous BB

Was Jack Dempsey, after losing to Gene Tunney, in 1926.

re: #216 EdDantes

Thanks. I had just found it.

re: #159 albusteve

you have to admit the HCR bill is not very popular...then maybe you don't

Apparently you don't:

The Associated Press brings a bit of good news for Democrats, especially those standing for office in November: According to a new poll, the Obama healthcare law has reached its highest level of popularity. The poll, from AP-GfK, has 45 percent of adults approving of the bill and 42 percent disapproving. That's a statistical tie since the margin of error is plus or minus 4.3 percentage points, but the important data here is the trend line.

Last month the law only got 39 percent approval, and 46 percent disapproval. According to the AP:

The poll found support increased since May among men (from 36 percent to 46 percent), people in their prime working years (from 35 percent to 49 percent among 30-49 year-olds) and Republicans (from 8 percent to 17 percent.) The uptick among Republicans comes even as party leaders are calling for the law's repeal.

A doubling of support among Republicans. Well that's something.

Like I said, the trend is the important thing here. And that trend roughly reflects pollster.com's average of polls on the plan. While pollster.com still has the plan being more unpopular than popular, it shows the gap closing steadily.

Opposition to the bill was never monolithic, it was a kludged together compromise inducing a whole menagerie of antipathies. Some were nominally against the bill because they didn't think it went far enough and that it will help the insurance industry too much.

re: #217 Aceofwhat?

I dunno. They should've outclassed Mexico for 90 minutes.

It's better when the French are morose.

re: #217 Aceofwhat?

I dunno. They should've outclassed Mexico for 90 minutes.

You'd think so, but watching the game from start to finish, it was clear that they were either distracted or just pissed off at each other. They never came together as a team, IMO.

If I'm reading this right, and I'm not sure I am, would this be akin to Catholic children being ordered by a court to attend a Mormon school?

re: #5 Nimed

Oh, come on. No one can look at these pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba and maintain the ludicrous belief that soccer is gay.

More like Mel Gibson-type Catholics being forced to attend a Lutheran school. But you pretty much get the idea.

About as gay as fat men running around in spandex and spanking each other. That's right, I'm talking about FOOTBALL.
