At The Awl

The morning of the USA-England World Cup game, this semi is trucking it down Highway 151 in central Wisconsin. Oy!

Ah, Europe really is different:

“Dutch international football player Eljero Elia has apologised for using the phrase ‘cancer Moroccan’ while playing a football computer game live on internet.

‘I wish to apologise to the entire Moroccan community,’ Elia said. ‘I have many Moroccan friends… I wish I could take back my words but I can’t. I also apologise to everyone who collects money for cancer charities, sick people and their families.’

Elia made the comment to a close friend, who happens to be Moroccan and often calls him ‘negro’, the player said. ‘It might sound odd, but this is the street. This is how we speak to each other. But I should have been aware of my role as an example to others,’ he is quoted as saying in the Telegraaf”

This charming lady is Laura Francese. Not only a Buffalo Bills cheerleader, she is also a bit of an avid outdoorswoman. And I don’t mean she likes camping in the back of the minivan in the parking lot at Lake George. No, Laura likes killing things that had parents (and presumedly, eating them). This includes deer, boars and fish. Yes, she shoots fish with fucking arrows! Here is her Biffalo Bills “Jills” cheerleader page. Her favorite color is pink and she “adores every animal.”

Here is her personal hunting page of her killing all those animals she adores.

And that’s all well and good. Nothing blows off steam after a season of having to cheer for Terrell Owens like shooting something through the spleen with a sharp rod. But what is this?!

“On a pride-themed float called ‘Experiment of His Own Power,’ Obama is compared to ‘The Proud One’ of Dante’s Inferno, posing with his Nobel Peace Prize medal, next to several other representations of him—along with Oscar and Heisman Trophy awards, he appears as a five-star general, president of General Motors, and as the ‘healthcare-expert’ Surgeon General—all engulfed by the flames of hell.”
