A Whig of Ideas

So, other than the fact that watching 6 foot something, sexy men playing rough, sweaty basketball isn’t a turn on, well your mojo just got a whole new kick! Turn it up a notch, ‘cause there is EVERY reason why sexy bedroom team names exist in the NBA….if you’re ready to crank it up a few levels, then follow my lead in revealing the 10 most raunchiest NBA team names ever:

10.) The Mavericks.  Can anyone picture the term “night riders” because that’s what pops up first in every sensual mind! A Maverick on the court can sure deliver as a Maverick—in bed! Don’t you think? It’s only a fantasy, but let’s get more creative here….

9.) The Cavaliers….C’mon…cavalry men? Men who serve the army on horseback…need I say more, folks?

8.) Milwaukee Bucks. Change the first letter to an F, and try to even argue with me… :D :D

7.) Golden State Warriors. Yes, they may be D-League, but seriously, the Warriors? There’s nothing more attractive than having a ‘warrior’ conquering you in the bedroom….

6.) Sacramento Kings.  Let’s just say, a king is always a king in his throne..now take me!

5.) The Magic. Have you heard of the song called “Magic Stick” by 50 cent? Listen to it now.

4.) The Pistons. Should I mention *ehem* penis castings!! A piston, really? I don’t think I really need to explain….*cough* sex toys…*cough*……male goodies? In fact how would it sound if I said, “I sure as hell am thinking of YOUR piston right now, baby….” Yeah…about that….

3.) The Spurs. Self explanatory.

2.) The Thunder.  Okay, they are a new team, but seriously, The Thunder? Add that as a prefix to any sexual innuendos, and you’ve made it sleazier and cheesier than before.

1.) *Drum roll please…* THE HEAT!!!!!!!! Of course! If LeBron James and D. Wade can heat it up on the court, then they can definitely heat it up down south in the bedroom!

Other than the NBA playoffs being Jerry Rigged..(and I mean that), let’s recount who really should be thrown out for good.

10.) Andrew Bynum

Too young to be this pissed off! He’s ready to get rolled away in a cop car handcuffed in the back seat with Artest in your chest.

9.) Foreign Players

Seriously? Unsigned, paid players from abroad that don’t even get drafted and don’t have to play college ball? Hell no, this is America…what part of NATIONAL did we forget here? This is the NATIONAL Basketball League…not the International Basketball League (IBA)…or how about the Gasol brothers? It’s like America said, “Oh, don’t worry it’s a 2 for 1 deal! Let’s recruit both brothers for the discount!”

8.) Chris Bosh

…..he’s that guy that um…let’s just say LeBron and D. Wade would NEVER bring to the club with them. #awkward.

7.) Ramon Sessions

One word for Sessions: Useless.

6.) Kevin Garnett

KG is angry, unethical, and too damn old for this league. He can’t even play one game without being on the brink of being fouled out. Why deal with a selfish player like that? Oh and have you noticed his shot percentage has drastically decreased as it is..? So, um, why is he still in the NBA again? PS the refs should have called that hanging rim violation against the Sixers tonight (Game 2).

5.) Rajon Rondo…whoever gave him that nickname “Ragin” is baloney! C’mon! Who watched Game 5 this year against the Hawks? Did you see that 3 pointer Rondo missed….even though he didn’t even need to make a 3 to win the game…yeah…’nuff said folks.

4.) Dirk Nowitzki…yeah I know he’s from Germany and you probably read #9 on this list about foreign players…but America is STILL really SORE about handing our Championship trophy last season to a whole bunch of foreigners that can merely make out a comprehensible phrase. PS. if you’ve noticed, the Mavs have the highest amount of foreigners on their team…we barely have an American representing it anymore—AND it’s TEXAS!

3.) 30 & Up Club: NBA Super Seniors: Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Vince Carter, Tim Duncan, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and anyone over 30…this number 3 spot is dedicated to all the old geezers still in the NBA that need to be rewarded with not patience but with a walker, social security benefits, and a lifetime supply of Rx to Kaiser Permanente…’cause they’re gonna need it…these players are way too old to play and it’s about damn time to give some fresh, brave, new talent a chance to prove themselves and be drafted to the League.

2.) Jeremy Lin

No comment. You already know.

1.) Ron Artest.

Need I see more about our number one spot? Just ask James Harden & the whole OKC team…oh and uh….opposing fans too since Artest loves to punch them out too. World Peace, huh? What a JOKE!

Top 3 Honorable Mentions:

3.) Derrick Rose & the 2012 Chicago Bulls Lineup: This whole season has been a whirlwind of disappointment for the team but none other than the former leader Derrick Rose. None of us should be surprised since he did focus his precious playoffs and pre-playoffs time for a photo shoot with GQ. Even with all that time spent shooting these pictures, he still failed to consult with Justin Bieber about Proactiv.

2.) Shane Battier

Because he just really wants to get fouled out every game and wants to cost his team the Championship…if I were Erik Spoelstra, I would have benched him for the rest of the season.

1.) Blake Griffin & the Clippers

You know, because he definitely can’t dunk with TWO hands or unless it’s an Alley-oop. Why did they make it to the finals this year? Oh, that’s right, because they played the Grizzlies to get there. Hardly a good match up.

(Pictured: The Los Angeles SLACKERS…Mike Brown should have been fired solely for the reason that the Lakers played up to Game 7…) #LosAngelesSlackers

This is the most disgraceful, vile, loathsome lop-sided article I’ve read in quite a while!! “[…The Russian Economy] it’s all natural resources. It’s really a Siberian Saudi Arabia.” I severely oppose Fareed Zakaria and I have for quite awhile. Ever since he’s been employed by CNN, he’s been so brainwashed, it makes me squeamish!! I very much disagree in the way he paints Russia in this sort of totalitarian, communist light…it’s 2012!!!!!!! Stalin is NOT Putin and by any means is not comparable to Putin..I think that’s too extreme…

“Perhaps there will be some kind of revelation where he [Putin] begins to understand that and loosens up and opens up the system. I very much doubt it. I think more likely, it will take some kind of sharp shock from the outside to bring that realization.”

Gee, I wonder what kind of agenda Zakaria is forced to push via CNN guidelines, inciting division and making Russia look like isolationist pigs who would rather do business with themselves and no one else..it’s a complete farce and sham..this is the type of thinking that’s so ancient that the Czar Nicholas (I) himself would roll in his grave had he heard this.

In many cases (not all), this type of subliminal message is what Americans hear and utilize as their primary source of information and news. When the general public is exposed to volatile phrases such as above, it provokes this mentality in which it ultimately translates into, let us slap sanctions on Russia and demobilize them and possibly even invade them. Why must we as Americans segregate ourselves from foreign affairs rather than cultivating not only domestic, but international relationships?  When Putin opens the paper and reads articles like this, this is the reasons why we further put a gap between countries rather than negotiating with them. My good friend could not have put it better, “Cold war never ended… it just evolved to a new different level.”

The Putin regime has actually expanded diplomatic ties more so than most presidents have since the fall of the Communist bloc. It’s a shame that countries (like the US), can’t recognize the progress they have made…Read the article below and decide for yourself.

I am utterly astounded yet revolted in the mere fact that a great proportion of women all around (conservative or liberal), are accepting men voting and deciding on issues that are primarily female related and concern women!! Just by default of gender, women do have a slight advantage on voting on these topics. I’m not out casting the male gender in anyway per se, but men tend to revel in power when holding many positions that regard females. In short, the message centers on the fact that women should continue to have the opportunity (just as equal as men), to speak upon these matters publicly and not be scrutinized for it. 

For thousands of years to date in almost every culture, women have been subjected and forced to suppress their views for fear of persecution, exile, or even death. Today, those situations have been substantially equated to centuries long full of female oppression. In modern times, women are degraded and their opinions are easily trashed as meaningless without given any thought or perspective. If you still don’t agree, then how many successful women are out there today who have a primetime television news show? Or how many women hold office in the Executive Branch? How many female CEOs do you come across in the private sector?

In 2010, world renowned magazine, Time reported that U.S. women earn 77 cents on the male dollar:

In recent news, the most intense debates have boiled down to abortion, birth control, and the government’s place among these themes.  Perhaps males and nevertheless the government, don’t fully understand the true reality of abortion, birth control, pregnancy, and sexual activities which is quite possibly why such poor decisions are made in office.

It is completely understandable that it becomes a problem when taxpayer money is involved in covering these costs such as in freebased run clinics. People still become surprised at the complete expenses a woman must spend on her sexual health care. Rush Limbaugh was currently in the hot seat for comments he made about Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke. When he became aware of how much women spend yearly on sexual healthcare costs and that Fluke was petitioning for it to be government subsidized, he about had a brain aneurism. The public needs to keep in mind that firstly, not all women take birth control, and secondly it’s not just birth control pills that are taxpayer funded in these free clinics. Women who keep up with their sexual health get yearly pap smears, blood and urine tests for STDs, there’s also free condoms that are handed out and other forms of birth control. People don’t take into account the other costs that women have to pay and yet are subsidized through the government. 

As I stated before, these are the reasons why women should have a higher voice on political issues and be held to a higher standard, or at least one of that equal to men. Watch a few clips below on men flubbing their stance on female issues:

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum on abortion:

Kirk Cameron on abortion:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MAsymTAM40

Seriously? In cases of rap or incest you would make your own daughter have that baby? These folks need to put themselves in a woman’s shoes, and that choice should be left up to ultimately the woman. I’m sure Rick Santorum nor Kirk Cameron wouldn’t last for a nanosecond had they been put in a pregnant female’s place for a day. It’s okay to hold those views, having freedom of thought is key and also just because someone is conservative it does not mean their personal views necessarily match up with their party’s platform.  Although, they will always vote for what their party believes in, they themselves may not necessarily hold those views personally.

The public should be infuriated with the remarks that presidential candidate Rick Santorum made regarding education in America. He tagged President Obama as being a “snob” for wanting everyone to go to college. That is not entirely true. Obama and people who support education (LIKE MYSELF), want the people to have the CHOICE to get an education and the OPPORTUNITY…we don’t necessarily want to force people to go to school but to have an opportunity AT LEAST. You know a good colleague said something very dead on about when Gingrich made the comment about how our kids should be janitors and cleaning the schools rather than GOING to school….then she said, “Then who are we cleaning the schools for?! Empty seats?!” YEAH! so hypocritical that these guys have degrees! Especially Gingrich who has a PhD!! How could you get up on your high horse with your PhD and talk down education like that?! That is completely despicable.

Watch Santorum call Obama a Snob Regarding Educational Access:

Watch Newt Gingrich advocate that poor children should be working as janitors:

Politics plays a very crucial part in our lives. Many people become very irked by the mere exposure of politics & and just can’t stand to listen to it. On the other hand, many individuals find themselves up in arms about the way their community is run, the uninhabitable conditions in their neighborhood, their low wages for the hard work they’ve put in, poor working conditions in their facilities, not enough public transportation, a meager educational system, taxes, the cost of living, not enough access to healthcare, skyrocketing healthcare premiums, etc—& people want to close the door on politics? Nonsense! It’s ALL politics, & people should grab a history and civics book to educate themselves! You can make a change, it all starts from YOU! Why do you think that entry level assistant became CEO in less than a year over well seasoned employees who have been working at the same place for over 2 decades?! Hate to say it but it’s true.

One of the most understudied period of time in history is by far the Reformation Era.

Plato wrote, “We can easily forgive a child who’s afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
