Now that the scumbag Frank McCourt has, apparently, sold the team for $2 billion to a group which includes Magic Johnson as the face of the venture, I can now root for my beloved Dodgers again.

This does make me happy as opening day approaches.

Last year, I couldn’t get excited about the team because of the scumbag Frank McCourt.

But do you know what sucks? What sucks is that the scumbag Frank McCourt gets $2 fucking billion dollars!

This is a man that destroyed our beloved Dodgers by using the team as an ATM machine to live a billionaire’s lifestyle on a millionaire’s budget. And now he gets to be a billionaire for real! IT’S CRAZY!

This bastard took a team that had about $50 million in cash to a team with $550+ million in debt in a little over 7 years.

This is a true scumbag and now he’s got $2 billion.

Fine. We’ll just have to file it in the “life isn’t fair” folder and move on, right?

Wrong.

We can’t.

We’re still stuck with this asshole because, for some reason, he will still own the parking lot that we need to use in order to see our beloved Dodgers!

Why don’t assholes just leave when they’re suppose to so that we can all just return to a somewhat normal life?

This guy should have been publicly humiliated. This guy should have been run out of town on a rail.

TAKE YOUR $2 BILLION AND LEAVE… SCUMBAG!

But, no, we’ll have to accept whatever bullshit he does with that parking lot. $50 parking? F you, pay me.

This guy will probably end up building some sort of CityWalk type entertainment area around the stadium and make more money (on top of the $2 billion) than the Magic Johnson group could ever dream of making.

I’ll still support my beloved Dodgers this year but I’ll need to find a way to avoid the scumbag Frank McCourt parking lot to do it.

Andrew Breitbart died just after midnight last night.

He was 43 years old.

I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends. A sudden death like this is incredibly tragic.

Yes, he was an asshole (at least in my mind) and a much hated Right Wing Conservative political bomb thrower. He rarely cared who he verbally stepped on, attacked or ruined.

To be fair, he was also much loved (I suppose) by the Far Right.

But politics is not the point here.

The point is – the man died last night.

The media has already flashed the “Breaking News” alert, flooded social media, analyzed his impact on society, put forward ideas on who will replace him on the bomb throwing Right, etc.

The man has been dead for less than 9 hours!

It immediately reminded me of CNN’s 9/11 coverage. I distinctly remember Jeff Greenfield standing on CNN’s roof with the World Trade Center still standing far in the background with smoke pouring out after the planes hit (and minutes before the collapse) and he’s basically summing up what it will all mean historically and what can we learn from this tragedy.

News coverage today is a complete joke and further proof that the world’s attention span is completely shot. With one final TWEET, Andrew was gone – forever.

What kind of a world are we living in when Davy Jones’ death (yesterday) is old news?
