MORE BAD PEOPLE

It's 3:16 P.M., Junior's at work and Patrick's on my lap doing what he does best, snoozin'.

Yesterday while watching Peyton and the Colts annihilate their latest victim of the week, while channel surfing during TV time-outs, I caught a part of a show about a girls' figure stating contest of some sort. Now I got interested when a few of these gals were skating--one was a New Jersey American who is a teenager and everybody says she's the new "IT" girl in figure skating. Trouble is, she's butt-ugly. Maybe she'll grow out of it like Chelsea did... Anyway, ever since I found out I'm a third generation One -half Russian guy, I've had this predisposition toward beautiful Seventeen year old blond Russian girls named Maria who are ranked Number one in the world in Womens' Pro Tennis. Anyway, out comes this Moscow lovely, 25 years old, blond bombshell skater gal, all smiley and cute as hell. Well, the male commentator couldn't get enough of telling us how bad each move she made was, and what a poor routine she was doing, and his snooty bitch partner agreed with everything he said. So at the end of this horrible disaster, and how would we know one way or the other, we're not experts, we do know they're not supposed to stumble around or fall on their arses, at the end he says authoritatively , words to the effect that the routine was not near good enuff to propel her into first place ahead of the Ugly American. He pressed his sidekick but couldn't get a commitment out of her one way or the other, just bullshit, but relentless, he browbeat the little color commentator-interviewer-sidelines gal, who refused to confirm his prediction, and stood her ground, good for her. This guy was pissed. Then came the announcement of her score. It was a personal best for her, and she took the lead from the American!! This guy didn't have a freakin' thing to say, and I went back to the colts. Now I'm as Pro-American as anyone on the planet, but when it comes to an ugly chick and a cute one, I know which way to vote. And this Simon Cole wanna-be can go to hell! That's what I think.
