I&#8217;d been playing the German versions of the South Park Dreidel song and Mr. Hankey der Weinhactskot, and then for some reason there was a link on Facebook that said &#8220;switch to Deutsch&#8221; or something.  So, I clicked it, and now I have 20 postfach, 2 Veranstaltungseinladungen, 2 Gruppeneinladungen, 2 Seitenvorschl\u00c3\u00a4ge, 25 weitere Anfragenmy, my sister has zur\u00c3\u00bcckstupsen me, and Liz Winstead and I have 10 gemeinsame Freunde.  While I can figure out what most of that means, I&#8217;ll be damned if I can figure out how the hell to change it back to English.  Was fickt das? Good thing I don&#8217;t use it much.<\/p>\n<p>I get the impression that a lot of people hate Tiger Woods, don&#8217;t you?  I mean, OK, he appears to be a bit of a &#8211; what would you call it?  Scallywag? Rake?  Debaucher? Duchovny?   I guess he&#8217;s a bit of a phony and a hypocrite (and kind of a dick), but there&#8217;s plenty of that going around.  Assuming you&#8217;re not married to him, though, I fail to see the obsession with him and his philandering (it&#8217;s not like he went MIA from the Governor&#8217;s Mansion or something).  I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;m a better person than that, but it&#8217;s definitely a lot easier to stay &#8220;pure&#8221; when you&#8217;re not a billionaire and don&#8217;t exactly have the women pounding on your door.  I mean, let he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of scumbags, it looks like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2009\/12\/11\/bill-oreilly-slams-law-or_n_389180.html\">Bill O&#8217;Reilly has his knickers in a knot about Law and Order producer Dick Wolff <\/a>(which seems kinda ironic; based on Andrea Mackris&#8217; lawsuit against him, Bill &#8211; like Tiger &#8211; seems like a bit of a Dick Wolf himself).  Apparently Bill really doesn&#8217;t have a handle on the whole fiction vs. reality thing (no surprise there), and has taken umbrage at a line uttered by one of the characters on a recent L&#038;O show:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Garrison, Limbaugh, Beck, O&#8217;Reilly, all of them. They&#8217;re like a cancer spreading ignorance and hate. I mean, they have convinced folks that immigrants are the problem, not corporations that fail to pay a living wage or a broken health care system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Personally, I&#8217;d have added Dobbs to that list, but, whatever.  Bill was most decidedly <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> amused.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>O&#8217;Reilly called that &#8220;simply defamatory and outrageous,&#8221; and labeled Wolf &#8220;a coward&#8221; and &#8220;a liar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have consistently defended poor people who only want a better life,&#8221; O&#8217;Reilly said. &#8220;If you watch &#8216;The Factor&#8217; you know my beef is with the federal government not controlling illegal immigration and with violent aliens who wreak havoc once they get here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Reilly went on to call Wolf &#8220;a despicable human being for distorting and exploiting this very complicated situation.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, boo-fuckin&#8217;-hoo, Billy.  Want a little cheese with that whine?<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, I slept in late this morning, so I guess I better get busy.
