Senator John Warner After DoD For Blocking Social Website's YouTube, MySpace and Others From U.S. Troops Access

   You all know by now that those rocket scientist at the Department of Defense have decided that it will start blocking their computers  and networks from access to such sites as MySpace, Youtube, and about 11 other website's. This will be a worldwide ban and will go into effect this Monday.  Source

  But not so fast DoD!

Sen. John Warner (R-Va., Armed Services Committee) stated today that he will investigate this decision by the Pentagon.

Warner: “Believe me, I am going to jump on that like a June bug right now. I’ve got a call into the Pentagon saying, ‘Hey guys, what is the rationale?"

  The Pentagon is using the old security issue concern as their reason for cutting our troops off of these sites. Guess that Bush and his hired hands are getting a little tired of the troops posting videos of themselves and the carnage that they have to live with everyday while the Iraqi country goes to shit and our president lies about it.

  Of course, this would be in line with the Iraqi government deciding that news reporters and camera men are no longer allowed at car-bombing sites and such because they may be destroying evidence that the local police may need.

  One thing that I would like explained to me. Four year old war going on and Bush and Iraq just now coming up with these things? Come on now! If it took you people this long to think that evidence might be getting messed up, then Bush and his puppets are really as dumb and stupid as we have believed them to be.

   These two new rules are nothing but Bush/military ways of attempting to hide the truth about what is actually going on in Iraq.

  For all of you with son's and daughters/ husbands and wives in Iraq, I have a " work around " for the YouTube, MySpace problem that the Pentagon is so suddenly concerned about.

San Antonio Spurs " Dirty " Playbook Against Phoenix Suns

   I'm going to go off track here and talk a bit about something is one of my favorite hobbies, and that is basketball. The NBA playoffs in particular and the Phoenix Suns specifically and the crap that they have had to put up with from those " dirty "  players of the San Antonio Spurs, a team which I use to have respect for.

  That was until the playoff series with Phoenix began.

   First we have Suns All-star Amare Stoudemire saying, after last Thursdays practice, that the Spurs are a "dirty team" and he said that Bruce Bowen tried to hurt him, claiming that Bowen, "He kicked me purposely in the back of my Achilles'. I almost came down wrong and he almost caused an injury.He's known for doing that. I just hope the NBA and the commissioner take a look at that because it's definitely a dirty play."

  Thus far, since then, he has seemed to be right on the money about the Spurs and their form of play.

  Stoudemire also had a bit more to say about the style of play from the Spurs during the regular season.

"I think the Spurs are a dirty team. I mean, (Manu) Ginobili during the regular season kneed me in the crotch on purpose. I just hope the league takes a look at it and cleans the game up a little bit." 

  Here is a video, which I think definitely shows Amare getting kicked by Bowen.

    Then there was game three, in which Bowen kneed Steve Nash in the groin area. That drew a foul from the referee which was upgraded to a "flagrant foul 1." Bowen told Nash that it was an unintentional move. Sure it was.

  Then there is last nights game four. This was a tough game all the way around, but dirty tactics should have no place in this game or any other game.

   The Spurs had a 97-92 with 2:23 to play when Phoenix picked up the pace and took the lead 53 seconds left and nailed it in with 32 seconds to go that made it 100-97.

Robert Horry took the low road with 18 seconds left in the game,when he hit Nash with a forearm and knocked him into the scorer's table. This was a move that was totally uncalled for by this piece of shit.

    Horry was ejected from the game and given a flagrant foul. The Spurs had started the 4th quarter with an 80-72 lead over Phoenix but I guess a few of the Spur's players can't handle a team on the comeback path as Phoenix did last night, so they resorted to taking cheap shots.

 Robert Horry ( whorie? )  should be suspended for the remainder of this series and fined massively by the NBA. That other Spurs punk, Bruce Bowen, will get his in due time.

     It is pretty sad that such great players as Tim Duncan, Michael Finley, Manu Ginobili and the rest of the Spurs have to play with team-mates such as these gutter crawlers.
