Bush blamed for NBA brawl


iconKeeping with the theme that everything is Bush's fault, detractors are now blaming President Bush and his war in Iraq for the NBA fight in which Indiana Pacer Ron Artest entered the stands and started punching people.

This is just a reflection of today's violent society, said University of Massachusetts at Boston sociologist Simak Movahedi.

In the hippie '60s, people took their cues from the peace and love that were in the air; now the war in Iraq and other factors make fans and players more prone to violence, Movahedi said.

Ahh, if we could only turn back the clock to the 60s. Bill Russell, Wilt the Stilt, and the Boston Celtics.

They'd have to wear those tight shorts though.

Can I go back to the '60s vintage SF Giants, too?

"Say Hey" Willie in center field, Willie Mac at first, all three of the Alou brothers, and Gaylord "I don't throw spitballs" Perry on the mound?

I remember going to an Old-Timers game in 1987. Willie McCovey put a ball in the upper deck in right field at Candlestick, 15 yards to my left and about 5 yards foul. Wow.

"In the hippie '60s, people took their cues from the peace and love that were in the air." And after a few years of all that peace and love, the murder rate soared, along with the rates of other violent crimes. These rates started going down during the Reagan administration, and as far as I know are still going down.
