Fist! Suck it (frank)ers.

Yea, yea, yea. The Oilers still suck.

Damnit, Cloutier! Just when I get comfortable hating you you go and write something like this!? What am I supposed to do now? Your next blog better be terrible, or else!

Oh, and did Lowe really give MacT the GM chair without even looking around the league? Seriously?

I think the reason for the words "Muslim" and "Saudi" trending were due to the inaccurate New York Post article.

Either way, great piece and thank you for opening up.

This part was my favorite:

Was it CNN I was watching...One pile of clothing in the studio was asking some other pile of clothing who was at the bomb site what the long-term effects of this event will be. "Well, the Boston Marathon will never be the same, that's for sure." Asshat. What Boston should do next year is throw the biggest event ever. Everyone in the city should be running. Hell, shut down every city in America, and let everyone go running for the day.

Great read Richard!

Boston. (frank)ing horrible.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

i read this earlier... thought it was pretty insightful... but excellent blog

I am almost ready to stop cheering for the Oilers! Todays mess is almost enough for me to start Hating them more than I hate the Leafs!

Are you a tier one or a tier two fan?

I hate the Cunucks. There see, they do go together

Good read clouts and what happened in Boston is a disgrace to humanity regardless of race, religion or anything else.
I hate you a lot less now

"because Eks trusts lunatics like me just enough to allow me to post my own blogs, unedited."

Garth is living proof of this...

Here's the point of your blog: page views. Just like it always is.

Whatever race, religion, gender etc. that the person(s) who did this is, there is one collective that describes them.....COWARD.

Doing something like this to innocent people while the perpetrator is hiding nowhere to be seen is the most cowardly of acts by the most cowardly of people.

Nicely done.

Agreed, which certainly brings up more questions since most "radicals" of any kind would have certainly taken responsibility at this point... well they do most of the time at least.

You know absolutely nothing about hockey but your a very good human being.

There's some good stuff in there.

Good blog except for the Szabados comment, that's just ridiculous.

Great blog rich. I am Muslim, and I appreciate what you said.

Reading this honestly felt like reading a Tumblr blog or social justice blog of some sorts. Either way, good read.

Katz(Jewish) Yakupov(Islamic) and Mac T(Christian) all walked into a bar.....





.... just to find out they have more in common with each than with the secular drunks in the bar.
