#TigerBlood and other related News

Okay, lots of news going on in the world right now. Here's what I think is most important.

So the Supreme Court ruled today that everything the WestBoro Baptist Church does is legal. I didn't even know that was going to court, seems like a waste of time and I'm kind of surprised that the Supreme Court even chose to hear it (considering they only hear a handful of the tens of thousands of requests they get each year). Listen, Westborovians, I have had many conversations about you guys with friends, none of us have ever claimed what you do is illegal; but unethical, annoying, pathetic, and stupid, yes.You stand in your little appropriated zone and shout stupid stuff that no one besides you cares about. You, my friends, are extremely pathetic. And yes, that should hurt, I'm normally a nice guy. It was a nice gesture for someone to take you to court (whatever can get you off the streets) but it would have been better if they took you to a mental illness hospital. No one likes you, no one cares what you guys have to say and you're doing nothing to make the world or America a better place. You show me where your alleged god told you to do this stuff, it's nowhere to be seen, you stand for nothing. No this is not a mere bloggers opinion, it's a fact. Charlie Sheen thinks you guys are an embarrassment to America.

Speaking of tigerblood, the self proclaimed "unemployed winner" has taken to Twitter, assuring us that he isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He has had a Twitter for only 22 hours so far and already has 966,000+ followers and 15 tweets. Even more impressive is that the phrases "Charlie Sheen" "Unemployed Winner" and #tigerblood" are all trending on Twitter right now giving him 3 of the top 9 trending twitter phrases, not to mention that his name itself has been trending for 4 days in a row now. But as Stephen Colbert and Donald Trump point out, don't get distracted from remembering that China still is enemy #1, behind the killer drug Charlie Sheen.

Segway-ing right along while I'm on the topic of China, let's talk about dictators and lack of human rights. Have you heard of Moammar Gadhafi? Obviously, he's the one who proclaimed that "You have the right to kill me, but you do not have the right to judge me" Lunatic, right? Oh wait, Sheen said that... So more importantly for me, in case you've ever seen a map, Italy is prime real estate for practically every one in North Africa trying to escape. The EU refused our plea for increased coast guard security so looks like I'm going to have a few neighbors or two show up. Refugees have already been overwhelming the Italian islands of Lampedusa and Sicily by the thousands for weeks now and it's only a matter of time until people start spreading up inland. Well, at this rate hopefully there won't be any people left for him to rule over. Sorry buddy, democracy wins again. Oh and Italy voided some non-aggression treaty that Berlusconi had signed with Libya sooo it might be rumble time soon.

Speaking of corrupt politicians, don't think I forgot about you Silvio. Actually, I won't even bother bashing you, you've done enough to yourself already.

Oh and most importantly, lots of new news about the NFL situation, not that Italy cares. So quick summary: The NFL is proactively suing the NFLPA for it's attempt to decertify (which they will most likely do tomorrow) If the NFLPA decertifies then the players can sue the owners for locking them out but now a judge ruled yesterday that the NFL can't get the 4 billion dollars in TV revenue they were counting on next season regardless soo to sum it up it sucks to be an NFL fan right now. Did I mention no teams have any clue what they're going to do when free agency starts (whenever that's going to be) or if there will be a season next year?! And the Packers released AJ Hawk?! (Source: Twitter). The sports world is so out of order right now. Speaking of out of order, the O's, yes hon, your Baltimore Orioles are undefeated this preseason looking sharp as ever. Watch out MLB! And also watch out on my twitter for Adam Jones or B-Rob to respond to my tweets :). I feel like I'm taking Charlie Sheen I'm so amped up about our season now.

There you go, that's the only important news you need to know. Oh and disclaimer, this is a blog so don't actually take any of this for fact or actual news, think of me as The Huffington Post. #Burn.
