More Government on TV: WOOOOOOOO!

Constant Readers,

As you may know, this past Tuesday an ordinance passed on its first reading that will require more San Francisco political commissions, committees and conversations to be filmed and made available for public viewing. Now, there appears to be some fuzzy math surrounding the funding source for one of the part-time positions that this ordinance will create (according to Ron Vincent from DTIS, it will otherwise be paid for by the "cable franchise fund"), but you know I am generally all for more government on TV. And, while I know that watching it is doing nothing for my love life, every so often I get to see something truly great. Take this video below, for example, in which professional rassler Nature Boy Ric Flair was finally given his due on April 15 in the US House of Representatives.

I just love that the phrase "Figure Four Leglock" is now in the Congressional Record.

BONUS: This video below has no significance beyond that fact that it is one of the saddest and funniest things I have ever seen. I just can't get over the commentary and Tracy McGrady's reaction.

SJ,

The NBA shows Disney movies for the families of the players every year at Madison Square Garden. McGrady laughed at the beginning of "Bambi," too.

If that proposal is real, and I'm not fully convinced that it is, why didn't she just say a big loud yes and then as soon as they were, you know, off TV, fess up and be like, "Um, actually, no. I just said yes so you wouldn't look like a retard in front of 50,000 drunk people."
Props to whoever handed him a beer tho. And to that mascot patting him on the back, multiplying his humiliation tenfold...

I LOVE the fact that the devastated guy gets walked of the court by Clutch the Rocket's Bear. Couldn't they at least get one of the cheerleaders to console him? Sheesh.

Note to the guy in the video. You don't know it now, pal, but she did you a huge favor.

You also learned another valuable life lesson--don't get down on your knees in front of some woman ever again, unless of course it is some kind of kinky sex act.
