Huge Cockfight

"Dinesh Sharma is a marketing science consultant with a doctorate in psychology from Harvard." That's the byline from an opinion written at Fredericksburg.com in The Freelance Star. Dinesh has a fascination with cocks and cockfighting. He massacred his opinion piece with wildly irrelevant and bizarre references, some of which are fraudulent. Take it from somebody who lives in the Jindal state, just because somebody has a good education doesn't mean they have common sense.

Further dissecting...
- Number of times the word cockfight is used in two paragraphs: 4 (five if you count the title overhead).
- Number of times the piece made sense: 0 (apparently a huge portion of it went missing in Sharma's head)

Gems:

Cockfight [sic] is a window to the Balinese life. The cock that loses the fight is slaughtered at the ring.

And

While cockfighting is banned in many states in the U.S., it is still legally practiced in [sic] few. People in many parts of the world settle a dispute or a duel by engaging in a cockfight.

Thanks for the info on the ass clown, Jim Newell.It's always refreshing to see somebody write something worse than one of my 3 a.m. drunken rants, because it doesn't happen very often.

The REAL JR Revisited wrote a much better piece in response. He tried to make it bad, but failed:

For a moment, [John McCain] felt oddly… lonely. Oddly enough, he remarked to himself. For almost a year and a half since he began this trip to November, he’s been constantly surrounded by aides and advice givers and favor seekers. He had been shaking so many different hands that even during quiet moments, his limbs would still feel jostled. Forced to speechify and answer questions over and over again, there was a constant sensory overload. But now, watching the fields of wheat rushing past him peppered with a silo here, a barn there… there was a sense of piece. An unnerving quiet that seemed louder than the din of prompted applause.

Having fun in the late afternoon, even though bloggers are all geeks and losers and play D&D and live with mom and have no girlfriends and hate freedom and hate our nation and support terrorists and run-on sentences.

Incidentally, I think Dinesh has swordfighting on his brain.
