Keith Olbermann keeps saying "puckish."

I'm watching inauguration coverage on MSNBC, my preferred news outlet as I am a despicable, godless, pinko commie little shit. But thats okay now, its acceptable in our new left wing America where you don't get told to move to France if you aren't happy with torture or wire tapping or banks stealing all of your money. Its amazing how many places still probably sell "Freedom Fries," the mongoloids.

Speaking of patriotism, and mongoloids, today is about Alex Rodriguez. He's a polarizing figure, an undeniable talent and a Grade-A prat.

The World Baseball Classic really isn't that big of a deal now. Not on the level of Olympic Basketball and nowhere even close to the World Cup or European Championships. But Alex Rodriguez played for the United States in the first one and now hes playing for the Dominican Republic this year. How does that work? I might be wrong, but I'm nearly positive that hes half Dominican/half Puerto Rican which gives him the option to play for any of the three countries. But if you've already picked one you can't just switch in the middle. This is another reason that hes a tool. Look at this quote about him being a magnet for criticism...

"When people write [bad things] about me, I don't know if it's [because] I'm good-looking, I'm biracial, I make the most money, I play on the most popular team."

These are truly the words of an asshole. He doesn't come off as very intelligent or reflective, nor does he seem to have any self awareness. So Alex Rodriguez, because I'm sure you're reading, allow me to explain. People hate you because you're a purple-lipped douchebag who cheats on his wife and country and opted out of a $25 million a year contract so you could get a $27 million a year contract. Also, your highlights have been ugly for the better part of 10 years.

I'm really not a patriotic person at all, but I can't help but to take exception to the fact that he played for the United States, wore the uniform, wore the flag, and is now playing for a different country. Its hard to be surprised though, its only ever been about him. Hes not much for commitment, just ask his ex-wife.
