And Brad Lidge didn't even pitch today. And they still let themselves get swept in a 4-game series to the... Houston Astros?! I say that this was our payback for letting Chris Coste go to them, while we kept Paul Bako. So, I guess it's our own fault. In reality, though, the Phillies have just been having trouble hitting, and we've been unable to have clutch pitching (good pitching in general, except when it matters). Let's just hope that Braves or Marlins fans (all 3 of them) have no reason to use our own taunting against us, as we've done to Mets' fans over the past 2 years.
God Himself Couldn't Have Convinced Us That This Guy Was Good For The Job, Whatever That Was.
Van Jones was Sean Hannity's [happy] dream. Honestly, it pissed me off that Obama would be so blatant as to bring this guy into his administration, but it didn't surprise me at all. You see, we know that Obama is from the hard left. We know that he's surrounded himself with people who are hard left. With that, inevitably, we see morons, idiots, and brilliantly scary idealists.
Jones' history is one that is not uncommon to the DailyKos or MSNBC, but is kind of scary to the rest of us. Someone who has advanced his entire career by playing the race card, has made relatively quiet statements that quickly became very loud upon his unscrutinized appointment as Special Adviser on Green Jobs. There is already evidence that some (not all, but some very loud, important people) proponents of the green movement have ulterior motives. Looking at Van Jones' past statements, affiliations and activities, you have to start to wonder...
To me, a guy who signs on to the 9/11 Truth petition (no evidence exists that he maintained an active relationship with them, but none exists to the contrary, either), someone who continually plays the race card, get a little rowdy with his description of the opposition (and gets it completely wrong describing his - now former - boss), has really weird, "fantastical" ideas about things (like 9/11 Truth, or the idea that somehow "going green" will either create jobs or save the earth), thinks that even some environmentalists have got it wrong (because they're white), etc. Judge for yourself and do a little research... has anything this guy has ever said been sane, or even in the least bit not bat-crap crazy?
Only White Kids Shoot Up The Entire School
Even Some Environmentalists Are Wrong... because they're White.
Ironic... I guess Van Jones is serving behind the counter at McDonald's?
Come to think of it...
It's looking more and more like the Obama administration and congressional Democrats resemble the 2007 Mets (and, well, the 2008 Mets, too). Lots of build up about "coming from nothing" (although having more money and hype than you can swallow), only to collapse when it really matters, and their talent really needs to shine. Let's hope that my analogy here keeps going, because something needs to stop this nonsense that's been going on here. Hopefully Van Jones' departure isn't only for the cameras... hopefully President Obama realizes that we're really not going to just take whatever crap he wants to try to spoon-feed us, but we're actually going to look at the facts and come to our own conclusions. There are crazies out there (truthers, birthers, Sean Hannity and Keith Olbermann...). But, the majority (the silent majority) will neither gather at rallies holding signs about Barack's birth certificate (look, he was born in Hawaii, he's a citizen, get over it), and also do not show up to healthcare rallies with a hunger for human fingers. The silent majority will arm themselves with the truth and make your life a living hell if you try to screw with us.
