The Indian and the Bigot
In good old Miami, land of palm trees, beaches, and many wanna be Tony Montanas, a man by the name of Tim Hardaway thought it would be a great idea to tell America how much he hates gay people. He will not play with them, he will not hang out with them, and he won’t talk to them, not in a house, not with a mouse. He does not like gay people here or there, he doesn’t like them anywhere.

The Hooligan Hopscotch
Apparently, Jessica Simpson’s “good girl” image went down the toilet with her latest video. “These Boots..” shows her in a bikini, and now every 12-year-old boy’s walls are guaranteed to be white, so parents - no need to paint.

I believe that prom is a challenging event and here to give you some special survival tips is your good friend Michael Jae.











Jae Journal - Runaways and Shenanigans
Hello and welcome to the Journal. I’m your good friend Michael Jae. As many have heard this past week, Jennifer Wilbanks had a case of cold feet or possibly as she said “running away from fears controlling her life.” She created a prank that she was kidnapped so she could avoid marrying John Mason, who in my opinion is the biggest dumb fuck this side of the moon. But the people who are dumber than him are the ones who believe she had some kind of “fear” controlling her life. He had an excuse, he was pussy-whipped.











Running the Race
In Deerfield this past week, 19 year old black woman Alicia Harden was arrested for writing hate letters to minority students, saying that she was going to kill them and other great stuff. She did this all in the name of getting out of Trinity University. I thought maybe doing too many drugs, crashing a car through the building, or just the normal sitting down and talking to your parents about your feelings would do, but hey, what do I know? By passing these letters around, she could tell her parents that she was scared because her peers were being targeted, and they would take her out of the school. Apparently during an interrogation, Harden confessed and there really was no stink about it except concern and worry. Yet, imagine if Harden was white. Do you think the outcome would be the same?











The Real Ozzie
Yes, Ozzie, he’s the man. Finally an Ozzie that America can fear. Forget about Ozzy Osbourne. The man looked like a special education reject with that damn reality show of his. And the last album, Down to Earth should have been called Flung to Mars, because it sucked big time. You would think putting musicians like Zakk Wylde, Robert Trujillo, and Mike Brodin would make magic, but instead it was kind of like the time Geraldo Rivera opened Al Capone’s secret vault, an empty room. But with Ozzie, you can count on one thing for sure. He will always say what is on his mind no matter what. He doesn’t give a shit about who gets offended, and I believe that is a great quality in a person. I respect Ozzie. I liked him when he was a player, and love him as a manager. Finally, the White Sox have someone who they can be proud of in the dugout.











Jae Journal - The Ever Famous Should Haves
Now let’s talk about sports in Illinois. Some people who read this nice column live in Illinois. Some do not. However those of you that do know that Illinois is the most cursed place for sports. Some teams in Illinois deserve the curse; others do things to bring trouble to themselves.











The Schiavo Factor
Hello friends. Welcome to the Journal. On June 9, 1999, my mother passed away. She was kept alive by machines for 11 days, and my family decided that day, it was time to end her suffering since that is the way my mother would want it. She did not want to live her life as a vegetable. I thought she might have a chance, but my family was set on the fact she was not going to come back as the woman we loved. In my heart from time to time, I wonder what if. My girlfriend says she felt my mother squeeze her hand, but she was not waking up. It is a day that is very difficult for me to talk about, and it was a day that changed the way life was forever. Fast forward to today, a woman named Terri Schiavo, who has been in this condition for quite a while has died today. She spent 13 days off a feeding tube after her husband had it removed saying that Terri wanted it that way. Her parents fought and involved judges, which then brought in right wing conservatives fighting for the cause to keep her alive. Even while she was starving and decomposing, Florida governor Jeb Bush was interjecting himself into a matter that he had no business getting involved in.











Jae Journal - Stray Bullets
Welcome to the Journal this week. So much to talk about in so little time so instead of tackling one issue, I am going to shoot on many different ones going on right now. This should be a fun filled read so get ready, get set, GO!











A Tale of Two Tittys!
IT WAS the best of chests, it was the worst of chests, it was the age of love, it was the age of foolishness, it was a time of hope, it was the epoch of big cities, it was the epoch of Big Tittys, and now I was totally enthralled in a most magnificent way.

JAE JOURNAL
Welcome to this week's journal. I would like to say I won my bet for the Superbowl and there was no wardrobe malfunction. After all, if Paul McCartney’s balls popped out of the zipper, even I would have complained. No one wants to see that shit.

A Father's Wisdom: The $25.00 Monkey
Most fathers are filled with sage advice, or so I am told. My father was no exception. He was a smart guy and a funny guy. He would always have some special way to impart wisdom to his children. Handing down advice is common among parents in general. Presumably these lines are passed down from generation to generation, however, when my father turned a wise old adage it was blatantly apparent that some phrases were Don Martello originals.











Stern Rules for Howard
I must say this now, before any opinion is given, I like Howard Stern. Do I tune in every day or blindly follow his every word? No. Am I one who believes Stern is the Messiah of radio, the innovator, the creator, the emancipator of broadcasting? No, I am not. Upon occasion, I enjoy his work. Sometimes hes funny, sometimes hes offensive.
