Michael Jackson Was More Stable
I like a good train wreck as much as the next person.
But Mark Stanford isn’t even a good train wreck:
I said what I had to say yesterday (“Dear Mark Sanford: Buy a one-way ticket to Argentina already and be gone.”)
The writing’s on the wall. What’s it going to take? Is he going to wait until one of the other women he “crossed the line with” comes forward to provide all the explicit details? How long long will he keep torturing his wife and kids?
With utmost respect to Michelle, torturing the wife and kids is not a problem for him, though “trying to fall in love” with her again may prove difficult to accomplish.
I’m trying to think of public meltdowns on par with this one. Michael Jackson lived this way every day of his life, so it’s hard to compare the two. Susan Boyle and Perez Hilton have had their episodes.
This isn’t comparable either, but any excuse to share this greatest managerial ejection in the history of baseball. (Make sure you watch at least to the 1:20 point, where he snake-crawls toward the mound and throws the rosin bag like a grenade toward the feet of the umpire.)

Every time I see a baseball player arguing with the umpire I feel disgusted, compare it with cricket where any such action, is known as dissent and the offender is usually fined a weeks wages (or more) and usually banned for as much as Life depending on the severity of the dissent.

1. What in hell was that about?
2. I am told that way way back when, Daddy was playing on a company softball league, or at least I’m assuming it was softball, I really don’t know. Anyway, he was the catcher and he decided one game to argue with the umpire. I guess it got a bit heated, no surprise with my father, and Daddy was told that if he said just one more word, he would be ejected from the game. Daddy said, “Yes, sir,” and was promptly booted.
