- There
are few places where elitism and arrogance are more of a prerequisite than Yale
University. The rich, entitled 1-percenters who call Yale their home for
college go there because they think they’re better than everyone else and they
want a school they think is better than every other school. So why is it such a
big deal that the bros at the campus’ chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity had themselves a very exclusionary party recently? The storm began
when the fraternity turned a woman away from a party because she was not white.
According to the chick who apparently wasn’t cool enough or light-skinned
enough for the SAE bros, a fraternity brother at the party said they were
looking for "white girls only." As one might expect from a bunch of
future senators, lawyers and chief executive douche bags, the fraternity denies
the brother said that. Not everyone seems to believe them, based on the hundreds
of Yale students and supporters who marched across campus to protest what they
see as racial insensitivity at the Ivy League school. The so-called "March
of Resilience" followed several racially charged incidents at Yale and
came shortly after the president of the University of Missouri stepped down
following growing racial strife on his campus. At the Yale march, students held
signs with slogans such as "Don't Look Away” and they chanted in unison, "We out here. We've been here. We ain't
leaving. We are loved," as they marched from the Afro-American Cultural
Center across campus and past the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house. Further fueling
this fire was an email from a faculty member who objected to a request from the
Intercultural Affairs Committee that students avoid wearing racially
insensitive Halloween costumes, such as Native American headgear, turbans or
blackface. Man, if you can't be a heinous racist on a college campus where
you’re paying $50,000 a year to attend, then where can you be a bigot………….
- Is he
really Busta Rhymes, or is he Busta Head Open? That depends on whose story you
believe in the tale of the past-his-prime rapper known as Trevor Tahiem Smith Jr. and the dude at whose head Smith
allegedly hurled a bottle of protein shake at a New York City gym earlier this
year. Smith, a.k.a. Busta Rhymes, has
pleaded guilty to harassment after being accused of the bottle chuck. It
allegedly went down at Steel Gym in the neighborhood of Chelsea at around 8:30 p.m.,
at which time Smith allegedly found himself in a confrontation with a gym
employee. In an act that typifies the Godsmack-listening, sleeves-eschewing,
‘roid-raging creature that is Gym Guy, Smith allegedly threw a carton of
strawberry-flavored protein drink at the man's head, leaving the victim
bruised. The pec-popping ragers who carry around gallon jugs of water with them
throughout the day and gorge on meals featuring red meat, white meat and more
meat because protein is king often have enough ‘roids coursing through their
veins to put them on the edge of a full-on emotional explosion any time of the
day, so crossing them is a dicey proposition. That gym lackey/glorified
towel-picker-upper is lucky Rhymes picked a cardboard jug of protein mix and
not a medicine ball or this could have ended badly. Smith was initially d
charged with felony assault following the incident, but had the charge
downgraded to harassment, which is a misdemeanor. "The criminal
charges, especially charging him with a felony, was a bunch of bull," the
rapper's lawyer, Scott Leemon, said. "Busta and I are glad the district
attorney’s office agreed to drop all the criminal charges." Big ups for
not using your client’s actual legal name even though this is, ya know, an
official legal matter, counselor……….
- Looks
like you picked a winner, Canada. When selecting a new environment minister,
you want someone who is going to look after your ecosystem, treat it with care
and responsibility and make sure that no one is polluting the planet in ways
that are wholly avoidable and irreversible. Oh, and one who will approve Montreal's
plan to discharge 2.1 billion gallons of untreated sewage into the St. Lawrence
River. Enter Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, who had barely taken
office when she revealed that she's asking the city to implement several
measures before dumping the waste water, including monitoring the discharge and
improving emergency-planning clean-up measures. Right, because you can totally
eliminate all potential negative effects of dumping raw sewage into a river if
only you tighten up those clean-up measures and keep tabs on how much literal
crap you’re dumping into the water. McKenna capitulated after Montreal Mayor
Denis Coderre said the dump is necessary because the city must temporarily
close a large sewer that feeds sewage to a treatment facility. In an extremely shady
election-related move, the previous government suspended the dumping plan
during the campaign, only to revive it once the people had cast their ballots.
Well-played, Canada. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat whose state
could see possible impacts from the tainted river water, had asked U.S.
environmental regulators to work with Canada to stop it, but the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency insists that it has no regulatory authority,
making this the first time ever America has allowed itself to be bullied by
Canada when than poseur ass hat Justin Bieber isn’t involved………
- We
all know that guy. We all hate that guy. Daniel Justin Raboni of North Palm
Beach, Florida is that guy. That guy, simply put, is the one whose happiness in
life is far too dependent on the success or failure of his favorite football
team. That guy hates his life, he’s bitter that things haven’t turned out the
way he hoped, he can’t stand his kids, he’s sick and tired of his wife and his
job sucks, so the only thing that makes him feel better is the three-hour span
on Sunday when his team takes the field and he can escape from the rest of his
crappy life. When that guy’s team wins, he’s peaking for the rest of the week
and none of the losers around him can bring him down. But when his team loses,
look the hell out. You get scenes like the one that went down just after the
New York Giants beat the Buccaneers 32-18 Sunday evening in a defeat plagued by
fumbles, penalties and just one touchdown for Raboni’s beloved Buccaneers. After
watching his team look like the last-place squad everyone had them pegged as entering
the season, Raboni decided to take a stand and make a statement. Unfortunately
for Raboni, he’s a moron and therefore, his plan crashed and burned - or didn’t
burn, as it were. He was arrested and charged with felony criminal mischief and
marijuana possession after attempting to set an oversized Tampa Bay Buccaneers
flag on fire, a flag located outside Raymond James Stadium. The red banner
features a skull and two crossed cutlasses and measures about 80 feet by 50
feet. It hangs from a 15-story pole and it became Raboni’s target for his
disappointment in the team it represents. Raboni attempted to see the flag on
fire, but an anonymous tipster alerted police to the fact that someone was
attempting to torch the $26,000 flag outside the Bucs' corporate offices and
from there, it was only a matter of time before it ended badly. The
fire-retardant flag did not actually go up in flames and only a small portion
of it was damaged. The fact that Raboni was either under the influence of drugs
or was planning to be soon after his attempted feat of strength based on the
pot possession charge should surprise exactly no one, but as always, at least
he had a good reason for trying to ruin his own life……….
