The Bonds/Hilton Debacle

It is almost a given unless someone pulls a Tonya Harding on Barry Bonds' bad knee that he will break Hammerin' Hank Aaron's home run record.

I think America speaks with one voice save San Francisco's isolated and out of touch voice that everyone is against this milestone being broken by such a pathetic individual. He never tested positive for steroids and yet there is a mountain of evidence in the Game of Shadows book that has around 230 individual people who point the finger and Bonds and others. So who is right? My money would be on the people who have nothing to gain by pointing the finger at Bonds.

So how will the sports world handle the eventual day when the record falls? Well you can pretty much guarantee that it will happen in San Francisco. Any other ball park in the US and you will have people booing, walking out, throwing things on the field, and heckling the ceremony. In San Francisco it might be a little bit better than that but that is the only place it can happen. Look for the manager to massage his playing time to make sure it happens at home.

You can bet that there is a security detail around Bonds, the most hated man in sports today, to protect him from some psycho who has ill intentions towards the man. It would not surprise me if there were many threats on him, his family, and maybe anyone around him.

The poor pitcher will be remembered as the person who gave up the record homer to a cheater and will be linked to this disgraceful act that the commissioner of baseball will be loathe to attend while Hank Aaron stays as far away as possible to protect his stellar reputation. Its as if Bonds has leprosy, ebola, and a really bad cold and you will catch it all if you get too close to him.

Paris Hilton is going to jail. Who didn't see this coming? The world's most infamous party girl gets forty five days behind bars to cool her heels for violating her probation. She showed up ten minutes late to her court appearance. Here is a tip....if you have the possibility of being sentenced to jail time, don't make the judge wait on you.

This clueless heiress is the epitome of the self centered generation. A generation where nothing happens that is worth caring about outside of their sphere of space. I have to say that I don't know anyone like that in my circle of friends. I'm kind of proud of that. Man I got some great friends!!!!
