8. I held a very unpopular position in the Duke case. I thought they were innocent.

and guess what, they are. Innocent of rape, of all chareges, but guilty of stupidity and athletic superiority complex. Who would care if they got a stripper? who would care that that they partied and did things other college guys do? Who would care especially if they star atheletes? Well people do, and and they forget that they are in a public light being on a team, with that comes responsibility.

But them being of somewhat a previledged and sheltered background because of their skills and some with their wealth, they really get puzzled as to why they are called out.

I knew they were innovent from day one, but stupid in a epic way.

Now the roid thing.

Having delt with the minions over at WWE over an offensive plot line that some of you may remember; the gay marriage plot line, and a back and forth with Scott Seomens gang at Glaad when he was there and his "nothing wrong with it", I have a tiny bit more insight into the workings and methods of Vince McMahon. His culpability in the Benoit tragedy/fiasco would make your stomach turn, and the "roid rage" thing is always odd. Odd that he was tested weeks before the murder, but yet miraculously had Testosterone in his sytem in the autopsy. Being a past bodybuilder, and having bodybuilder buddies, Benoits body was not just hours at the gym. If you belive that, there's a couple of bridges for you to buy. His actions were not completely fueled by a drug along, but a combination of things that he thought he could not overcome, and yes the testosterone was a part too, but not a 100% factor. Marriage, presure to perform, personal issues,it all adds up.

John Cena, the centerpiece and crown jewel of his empire now, was on Larry King. King lobbed some curves, not many, but the damage control was obvious overdrive, and McMahon is one of the biggest slimeballs to occupy this planet.

That whole pesky thing. It's called being caught.
