Roger Federer is a Stick in the Mud

Federer, Nadal and Djokovic

The former men's #1 and 16 time grand slam champ has fellow players scratching their heads wondering why he is such a god dammed stick in the mud when it comes to supporting them in improving conditions for players.

Roger and fellow champ Rafael Nadal butted heads just yesterday over the matter and Rafa took it public...which he immediately regretted.

The following excerpts from ESPN.com News Article

Roger: "We can't always agree on everything," Federer said. "So far it's always been no problem really. Back in the day he (Nadal) used to say, 'Whatever Roger decides, I'm fine with. Today he's much more grown up. He has a strong opinion himself, which I think is great."

Rafa: "Probably I am wrong telling that to (the media), especially because these things can stay, must stay in the locker room," Nadal said. "I always had fantastic relationship with Roger. I still have fantastic relationship with Roger. Just I said we can have different views about how the tour needs to work. That's all."

Nadal wasn't alone in questioning Federer's stance. Former No. 3-ranked Nikolay Davydenko said Monday he didn't understand why the 16-time Grand Slam champion wasn't supporting his fellow players.

The Russian said that while Nadal and No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic had been leading the push for changes, Federer had been reluctant to get involved.

"I don't know why Roger is not supporting the players," Davydenko said. "Because he don't want ... any problems. He's nice guy. He's winning Grand Slams. He's from Switzerland. He's perfect. He don't want to do anything, he just try to be an outsider from this one."

Federer countered with this gem:

"I was in the meeting. I completely understand and support the players' opinions," Federer said. "I just have a different way of going at it. I'm not discussing it with you guys in the press room. It creates unfortunately sometimes negative stories. (Strike) is such a dangerous word to use," Federer said. "It's not good for anyone really. We've seen it in other sports happening in the States. That's why I'm always very careful about it. If there's no avoiding it, I'll support the rest of the players. But I just think we have to think it through how we do it, if we do it, can we do it, whatever it is, instead of just going out and screaming about it."

Federer said there are "two or three" big issues that the players have been discussing. They include the length of the season and prize money at Grand Slam tournaments, which some players believe has not increased proportionately with growing profits.

American John Isner said he had been to the meeting and felt the players had a "legitimate beef" over prize money, which is also an issue at the Indian Wells tournament, where Davydenko said those players who lose in the first round can sometimes lose money after paying tax and travel costs to compete."


For a guy that can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world BECAUSE HE USED TO BE THE BEST EVER, Roger is a complete and total wuss.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Rev. Dr. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

Today we honor, Martin Luther King, Jr. who was the voice of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950's and 1960's.

Had Dr. King not been assassinated by the United States Government he would've been 83 years old yesterday.

He was the youngest person to ever receive the Nobel Peace Prize and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004 years after his 1964 death.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day has been established as a U.S. national holiday since 1986. He is the only United State Civilian of any color, race or creed to have his own Federal National Holiday.



"I Have a Dream Speech" (in entirety)


"I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.

Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.

But not only that:

Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

You did three things right last night.

1) You got Michele "One L, 2 N's, all Crazy" Bachmann out of the race.

2) You legitimized Ron Paul.

3) You got Rick Perry to go back to Texas.

Christian Bale Roughed Up by Chinese Police

Courtesy Rebel Pepper
A cartoon mocking Christian Bale's confrontation with Chinese security was posted on Weibo, China's Twitter-like service on Friday

By msnbc.com staff and news services

BEIJING -- "Batman" star Christian Bale was roughed up by security guards who stopped him visiting a blind activist living under house arrest in China.

Video footage of the scuffle was shot by a camera crew traveling with the Hollywood actor as he promoted a film he has made in the country.

He and the crew were stopped at a road checkpoint when government security guards wearing green army coats asked what they were doing and punched the camera. When Bale took out his flip camera to record, he was punched and shoved, exactly the same treatment the CNN crew received just a few months earlier when they tried to visit.

After the scuffle, the crew got back into their vehicle and drove off, but they were followed by a security van for about 40 minutes.

"I'm not brave doing this," Bale said on camera. "The local people who are standing up to the authorities, who are visiting Chen and his family and getting beaten or detained, I want to support them."

In a later interview on CNN, Bale said, “It’s amazing a superpower like China is actually terrified, of this man. It shows such an intrinsic weakness within the fabric of the country.”

Time's Person of the Year - The Protester



We couldn't agree more with Time's choice of Person of the Year 2011. For once they fucking nailed it.

Kurt Anderson, Time writer, had this to say:

“2011 was unlike any year since 1968 — but more consequential because more protesters have more skin in the game. Their protests weren’t part of a countercultural pageant, as in ’68, and rapidly morphed into full-fledged rebellions, bringing down regimes and immediately changing the course of history. It was, in other words, unlike anything in any of our lifetimes…”

Naomi Jaffe, Member of the 1960's Weather Underground said this about the year 1968:

"We felt that doing nothing in a period of repressive violence is itself a form of violence. That's really the part that I think is the hardest for people to understand. If you sit in your house, live your white life and go to your white job, and allow the country that you live in to murder people and to commit genocide, and you sit there and you don't do anything about it, that's violence."

Well, Naomi, it's over 30 years later and people, not just kids, ALL over the WORLD are lashing out at the status quo and rising up to take a stand for change.

This has been the most amazing year we could ever imagine. There were revolutions in almost every country in the world and here at home with the Occupy Movement.

So let's hear it for the year of the protester! From the guy who self-immolated in Tunisia to ignite the Arab Spring to the retired police officer arrested at Occupy Philadelphia - we salute you all.

The Day the President Died


John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot to death this day in 1963.

It was a beautiful Texan day and no one, but the idiots that killed him, had any idea what terrible things were to come.

WARNING: The following is extremely graphic.



Look how Jackie tries to flee the car after her husband's head is blown apart all over her. It's still so sad.

Never forget these 2 things about that day and night:

1) The Secret Service that were supposed to physically ride on the back of the car and run beside it using specifically installed handles attached to the car were intentionally CALLED OFF at the last minute.

The secret service guys were so pissed they kept waving their arms in the air - 3 times to be exact - in exasperation and confusion. Why were they being called off by their boss? REPEAT: Why were the Secret Service Agents supposed to be riding ON THE BACK OF THE CAR ITSELF being called off by their boss? Here's the video to prove it.




And 2) FACT: Right after JFK was assassinated the United States Treasury was plundered. The paper money that used to read "Payable to the Bearer on Demand" became a useless "Federal Reserve Note" and rumors abound to this day that Fort Knox was emptied out in one night.

Brad Meltzer's Decoded just did a great episode on Fort Knox. No one has been allowed in to view the "gold" since the 1970's. Nope, nothing shady there!

The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the death of this great country as we knew it. All of the evils that have befallen us over the years can directly be traced back to that beautiful yet tragic day in Dallas.

PS: We still miss JFK, Jr., too.

De La Rocha Pens Occupy Poem


Rage Against the Machine's Zack de la Rocha has released an Occupy Wall Street poem in solidarity for the protesters.

"This poem is dedicated to the Occupy movement whose courage is changing the world. Stay Strong. We are winning."

The beginning spills through city veins

Into the arteries

And under powers poison clouds

We move like the shadows

Through the alley ways

Through nightmares bought and sold as dreams 


Through barren factories 


Through boarded schools 


Through rotting fields 


Through the burning doors of the past 


Through imaginations exploding 


To break the curfews in our minds



Our actions awaken dreams of actions multiplied 


A restless fury 


Once buried like burning embers 


Left alone to smolder 


But together stacked under the walls of a dying order 


All sparks are counted 


Calloused hands raised in silence 


Over the bonfire of hope unincorporated 


It's flame restores tomorrows meaning 


Across the graveyards of hollow promises 


As gold dipped vultures pick at what is left of our denial



And the youngest among us 


Stare at us stoned like eyes determined 


And say 
Death for us may come early

Cause dignity has no price 


At the corner of now and nowhere 


Anywhere 


Everywhere 


Tomorrow is calling 


Tomorrow is calling

Do not be afraid

Sean Lennon Occupies Wall Street...With Song!

His father John. Unarguably one of NYC's most famous residents. Ever.

Flashback 1971 - a young John Lennon moves to New York City to live with his love Yoko Ono. It's 4 years before little Sean was born to them. In England, little Julian is only 9 years old. John is about to start his new life by protesting the injustices of the world.

Flashforward 2011 - Sean Lennon regales the Wall St. Occupiers with his rendition of Madonna's Material Girl.

We always loved Julian the best, but yesterday (no pun intended), Sean showed all of us what a cool fucking cat he really is.

Sean Lennon and Rufus Wainwright, NYC 10/23/2011




Julian, wrote one of the greatest songs in history. We know if John had heard this song and its environmental message he would have been so f'ing proud. You nailed it here, dude. This song was released in 1991. Wow.




We are a rock revolving Around a golden sun
We are a billion children Rolled into one
So when I hear about The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes

We climb the highest mountain We’ll make the desert bloom
We’re so ingenious We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love But now that’s not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I’m crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we’re out of time And it’s slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean Send photographs of mars
We’re so enchanted by How clever we are
Why should one baby Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love But now that’s not enough
For the world I love is dying and now I’m crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we’re out of time And it’s slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving Around a golden sun
We are a billion children Rolled into one
What will I think of me The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes

THEY'RE COMING HOME!



From President Obama:

"After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over. The coming months will be another season of homecomings. Across America, our servicemen and women will be reunited with their families … This December will be a time to reflect on all that we've been through in this war...with their heads held high, proud of their success, and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops. With our diplomats and civilian advisers in the lead, we will help Iraqis strengthen institutions that are just, representative, and accountable. We'll build new ties of trade and of commerce, culture and education that unleash the potential of the Iraqi people. We'll partner with an Iraq that contributes to regional security and peace, just as we insist that other nations respect Iraq's sovereignty. I would note that the end of war in Iraq reflects a larger transition. The tide of war is receding."

FUCKING A!

A DREAM COME TRUE

They walk free

We heard about this possibility yesterday but held no hope for it. Could Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, really release "prisoners of conscience"?

YES. YES!

Over 300 prisoners were released yesterday to cheering crowds.

Myanmar has certainly taken the right steps in the last year. Elections, freeing Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi after 15 years of house arrest, overturning controversial plans for an environmental disaster of a dam and now this.

Many in Myanmar are disappointed by the small numbers of people released. Just 300 out of 2,100. But all of this was unthinkable just LAST YEAR.

We'd say that they've turned the corner and that things can only get better from here.

However, the political powers that be in the Western world will not ease sanctions on Myanmar until it has released all 2,000 people. Probably rightly so in a sense, but the only people hurt by sanctions are the people themselves not the junta cronies.

This is an amazing step forward.

President Thein Sein, a former military commander is the first civilian (if you can call him that) to rule the country in over 50 years. He is really making progress here and is to be commended. He just needs to keep it going now.

Amnesty Internation is not at all impressed and thinks the reforms are slowing down actually. We think they are out of their minds. This alone is super-impressive. The country was a hell hole for over half a century and its going to take a while for it to be all right again. Amnesty needs to cool down and congratulate this guy not get him all fired up again by insulting him. Baby steps, motherfuckers. Baby steps. But steps in the right direction.

300 today, maybe 300 tomorrow? And 300 after that?

This is why Amnesty is still angry. 300 is a drop in the bucket.
LET THEM ALL GO!

Dick Regrets Shooting Load in Friends Face

Really, he does.

Dick Cheney writes in his autobiography/memoir/confessional that out of everything that's happened in his life the only thing he truly regrets is shooting his friend in the face. In fact it was "the saddest of my life". Awww.

The 2006 hunting mishap left the friend, Harry Whittington, severely injured.

Dick doesn't mind the torture of prisoners, the unlawful incarceration of people at Guantanamo Bay, pushing his war pal Donald Rumsfeld to be Vice President or the invasion of Iraq.

Just shooting his load in someone's face.

His most famous quote is "Go fuck yourself", so what else did we expect?

His mom named him Dick for a reason.

Happy Birthday Jesse Ventura

Jesse is one bad ass motherfucker

It's a good thing I'm not president because I would prosecute every person that was involved in that torture. I would prosecute the people that did it. I would prosecute the people that ordered it. Because torture is against the law. ... Waterboarding is drowning. It gives you the complete sensation that you are drowning. It is no good, because you — I'll put it to you this way, you give me a water board, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders. ... If it's done wrong, you certainly could drown. You could swallow your tongue. It could do a whole bunch of stuff to you. If it's done wrong or — it's torture...It's torture."
Jesse Ventura - pro wrestler/UDT Navy diver/ex-Governor of Minnesota


Jesse Ventura, American legend, turns 60 today.

Jesse has been famous for being a wrestler back in the day - nickname "The Body" - or, from being in 2 or 3 Arnold Schwarzenegger movies in the 80's - the great ones Predator and Running Man - or, from being the Governor of Minnesota - or from his latest TV show, "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura".

Jesse was also a frogman for the Navy's Underwater Demolition Team, a biker riding with the Mongols, a bodyguard for the Rolling Stones back in the 70's and the mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota for 4 years.

He also has hosted a radio show, a TV show on MSNBC, acted on a soap opera and authored several books.

For all the good times and bad, that he had with the wrestling world, fame and lawsuits, Jesse was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004.

That's probably not even the half of it.

Jesse catches shit from a lot of people over his politics, demeanor, conspiracy theories and so forth, but not from us. He's our hero. Of course he has flaws and is subject to arrogance and entitlement, but he EARNED it. He's a bad ass motherfucker.

And when we think of America, we like to think of guys like Jesse Ventura, out there doing real things and keeping people honest. Next to John Walsh, he's one of our favorite good guys. Plus, he wants to waterboard, Dick Cheney. How awesome is that?

It Gets Better: A Message of Hope from the US Senate

The US Senate got together for "The It Gets Better" Campaign. This campaign encourages LGBT youth to try and get through high school without killing themselves because "it gets better."

We've already posted some of these videos in the past. Notably, Tim Gunn's video as WE LOVE HIM.

This video touched us personally. We see the anti-gay hatred every day at work from ignorant Republican conservatives who question "why do they (gay people) need to be married?" In other words, can't they just go away and leave us normal people alone?

It drives us fucking crazy because gay people are our friends, family and co-workers. We cannot even imagine a life without them. We don't consider them second-class citizens without rights. We can't imagine them killing themselves as teenagers either.

It's about time to end the partisan bullshit and political rhetoric regarding the fact that people are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered. It's a fact. It's not something to even debate. And, people start out as kids that are confused enough about life. They don't need other people's bullshit killing their fragile egos to the point where they want to die.

Good for the Senate.

Here it is:
