Priorities...?

Some people simply.  Don't.  Have.  A.  Clue.

Consider the world in which we live today.  We are at war.  We're at war with a people who flew airplanes into buildings and have killed nearly 5000 of our fellow Americans, including two who have been beheaded.  We have an election coming up that will determine whether we continue to fight this war, or whether we surrender.

We've endured yet more attacks on our culture and our way of life with lawsuits against the Pledge of Allegiance, and against the sacred institution of marriage.

Crime ravages our streets, disease destroys our bodies, and our culture, as the Bork (?) book says, slouches towards Gomorrah.  And we wring our hands and wonder why.

Then I look at something like this that's happening 20 miles to my south & west in the Dallas suburb of Grand Prairie, and I see where our priorities lie, and my question is definitively answered.

The Battle of Grand Prairie is over.

After a campaign marked by hard feelings and hundreds of e-mails, the Grand Prairie school board voted Thursday night to change the name of the district's 10,000-seat stadium to the Gopher-Warrior Bowl.

The high-school football stadium.  This  is what has the dumbasses in Grand Prairie up in arms.  What to name the fucking slab of concrete where they play high-school football.

The question of whether to rename the 48-year-old Gopher Bowl, now undergoing extensive renovations, had created controversy in the city and drawn dozens to the past two school board meetings.

Dozens???  What do you wanna bet that they don't draw that many for the general election, hm?

"To me, I think [the name] should reflect the whole community," trustee Dr. Michael Grace said.

Well, then, fuckhead, why the Hell™ didn't you name it "Grand Prairie Stadium"?  Is that not "reflective" enough for you, you stupid moron?

The lone dissenting vote came from trustee Terry Brooks, who has been the only board member in favor of keeping the Gopher Bowl name. He said a change would set a "dangerous precedent."

I'll say.  At this rate, the fair citizens of Grand Poopyheads might actually go to war over what to paint the hallways in the nursing home.

"I hope and pray that [future school boards] don't change Whitt Elementary or Moore Elementary or any other names we've placed," he said.

I  hope and pray that you dipwads in Grand Prairie GET A FOOKIN' LIFE, Y'DOLTS!!!

Before the vote, Grand Prairie City Council member Ruthe Jackson told trustees that changing the name would change the city's history. Resident Chris Swinney said he couldn't imagine the stadium with any other name. Resident Ruth Riggs said it would "sicken" her to have to drive past a renamed Gopher Bowl.

Not nearly  as much as it sickens me to read about this little temper tantrum you shit-for-brains idiots are throwing over a slab of concrete.

And several residents suggested that a separate stadium be built on the South Grand Prairie High School campus, but trustees quickly dismissed that idea.

That's a shame, too, because that's probably the most intelligent idea I read about in the entire story, and the one that SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED FIRST AND THEN IMPLEMENTED, YOU DAMNFOOLS!!!

Trustees nixed The Bowl at Grand Prairie, then approved Gopher-Warrior Bowl, suggested by trustee Eddie Gwynn. He cited Richardson stadium names that were adjusted to include more than one mascot when new high schools were opened.

So tell me, trustees, in your infinite wisdom  (???)...how will you rename the stadium when you get a third "hah skrewl" (a little Rush lingo, there), hmmmmmmm???  You will  eventually get one, you know.  Then what?

The board did not consider naming the facility for slain Grand Prairie police officer Sgt. Greg Hunter. Grand Prairie Police Chief Glen Hill said Sgt. Hunter's family preferred that a police or city facility be named for him.

Oh?  You can't name more than one building for a slain police officer?  What, copyright issues or something?

Even so, there was more than one officer shot in the fracas that took Sgt. Hunter's life.  How about honoring that  fellow, eh?  I'd bet he  wouldn't mind much.

This is why I throw my hands up in frustration over the direction the United States is headed.  We have issues of major importance to the entire country out there on the table, and these  fucknozzles would rather argue over the name of a high-school stadium.

Good.  Gawd™
