Poor BoBo cries because he go bad seats at the new D.C ballpark.....

[trumad]

Poor BoBo... He got bad bad seats in the lottery drawing for the new baseball park in the Nations capital. He starts his whine with this:

"There comes a time in any man's life when he realizes that he is an insignificant speck of dust careering aimlessly through the cosmic woof of time. For me that moment came when the Washington Nationals baseball team assigned seating locations for its season ticket holders. The seats my buddies and I were assigned are somewhere south of Montreal but nowhere near home plate".

Here comes the big whine:

"The seating assignments were done by a "lottery," but as the team president, Tony Tavares, told The Washington Post in a statement that pretty well sums up American civilization in our era, "This is Washington, D.C., and I had to take care of certain people. Of course, V.I.P.'s were taken care of, as they are in any other circumstance."

Since I wasn't among those who were taken care of, I find that statement morally offensive".

Ya gotta read the rest of the piece for a great chuckle at this poor mans plight. But here's the question that I ask about the great BoBo.... Do you think he would have wrote this piece if he was one of those certain people who were errr, taken care of? HELL NO! Elitist snob Whore!

1. My email response to Brooks

To David Brooks:
WOW! I really feel for you...being insulted and cast aside as you have been in getting good seats at the stadium. Just think of the future that your children will not enjoy.

Sort of puts you in the same boat as the hungry and homeless who are refused housing and food stamps and kicked off the boat of survival...Now you know how it feels to realize that though you are full of SELF-IMPORTANCE, in reality, to those with power, you are actually NOBODY.

LOL

BTW, I couldn't help but notice your snide "Blackberry" reference to Vernon Jordon. Quite the subtle racist, I would say.

3. Just another Gnat at the Nats games

It's official. He's a bug

4. Boy, you really showed him.

His whole point is that he has no entitlement to better treatment than anyone else. Therefore, his protestations in the article were sarcastic and for effect.

Besides, I think he's funny.
