Timberland List Thursday: 2/3/10


The T-List is rip-roarin' and ready to go after a weather-induced absence last week that left me unable to think about anything other than snow. And wine.

#10. Ben Roethlisberger. This being Super Bowl weekend and all, it's a pretty good time to remind the public that you're a rapist.

#9. The Borgata Hotel, Atlantic City, NJ. They bill themselves as AC's only Vegas-style casino, and the Borgata is actually an impressive structure. Good casino. Good eats. Good hotel. Except for one liberty-depriving policy: A six pack limit on beer in the hotel room. I'm not making this up. Four of my friends arrived with a 12 pack and were told they could each bring one six pack, in a six pack container. Being the resourceful rock stars that we are, we were able to smuggle a couple of cases up in our luggage and all, but that's not the issue. The issue is not only this horribly puntative policy for folks just looking to have a good time, but the sheer stupidity of it from a business standpoint. If I drink 3 beers, I'm going to gamble conservatively at your tables. If I drink an unlimited quantity, I'mstill up playing your tables and slots at 7 in the morning

#8.  MTV. As if Jersey Shore isn't enough to make an upright human being cringe, now I have to hear about all this hoopla regarding some teenage soft-core porn called "Skins"? Whatever happened to "Dial MTV" or "Headbangers Ball" or "Yo! MTV Raps"? Or music videos in general for that matter. Also, I'm tired of otherwise educated people saying "I know it's horrible but I can't help enjoying it". You know who else says that? Meth Addicts.

#7. The NFL. No, this has nothing to do with the Labor Situation...yet. This entry on the List is solely for giving the Black Eyed Peas a platform this weekend.

#6. Democratic National Committee. Hosting the 2012 Convention in Charlotte? A Banking hub with non-union hotels and a Board of Ed that used the Martin Luther King Holiday as a make-up for lost snow days? Plus, you're not carrying North Carolina again. Under any circumstances. Time to stop rewarding ignorance.

#5. Pastor John Hagee. Brace yourself, as I'm about to defend Rand Paul. The Tea Party poster child announced his support for a measure that would dramatically slash foreign aid across the board. By roughly one third. Hagee, who had no problem with what that might mean for the starving children of sub-Saharan Africa, responded by saying "Cutting funding to Israel" does not align with Tea Party Principles. Excuse me, I must have missed that memo about taking from the American Poor and giving it to Benjamin Netanyahu. I thought you fucktards only wanted to redistribute the wealth to the American rich?

#4. Groundhog Day. ENOUGH. Stupid. Fucking. Holiday. For. Stupid. Fucking. People. Granted, unlike the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Jesus and the Tooth Fairy, the groundhog itself is physical and tangible. But the entire notion is about as dumb as dogshit.

#3. Hosni Mubarak. Closing Time. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

#2. Chris Christie. New Jersey's very own Jabba The Cut, who's spent the last year pissing on teachers, laborers, firefighters, police, the elderly, the poor and just about everyone else who didn't clear $250G in salary last year just gave a $261 Million hand-job to private Atlantic City developers. 

#1. The Winter. I surrender.
