These are the ending paragraphs of a meandering tale about a football player getting even with the uncooperative owner of his team. But the main point of the article comes after the first 3 paragraphs. Love it!

Now Chad has gotten revenge. Chad's self-annointed nickname is "Ocho Cinco." His jersey number is 85, and since he knows just enough Spanish to be dangerous (since ocho cinco is actually "eight five" in Spanish, not eighty five), he wanted to put ocho cinco on the back of his jersey, in place of his birth name, Johnson. The Bengals said no. The NFL said, under league policy, only last names could go on the backs of jerseys.
Now, there are a lot of things one can fairly say about Chad - but stupid isn't one of them. He may not be Albert Einstein, but he's smarter than Mike Brown (okay, okay - that's not saying much). Look, Chad really is a bright guy. And he's actually not a bad guy. Unlike Randy Moss (who literally hit a cop with his car when he played in Minnesota) and Terrell Owens (who has made a career out of questioning the sexual orientation of his quarterbacks), Chad has never broken the law. He's not a drug user, and he's friendly with the fans. I actually like Chad (I wish I could say the same for the Bengals, but fuck them - I'm a Steeler fan).
Chad legally changed his name from "Chad Johnson" to "Chad Ocho Cinco." (Haven't you noticed I've been going through this entire piece calling him by his first name?) So now he can put ocho cinco on the back of his jersey.
How will this affect the Bengals? Quite simply, get ready for the return of the Bungles. Chad's action will destroy what little chemistry the team still had. Chad has killed the team's chances of winning squat this year. And I, for one, love it. Why? Because Mike Brown is a fuckhead, and he deserves what he's about to get.
So what in the blue hell does all this have to do with the left? Well, you know that old expression "What goes around..."? How about "You reap what you sow?" Just like Mike Brown is about to get what's coming to him, so too are the Democrats.The Democrats and Barack Obama spent the last year shitting and pissing all over their rank-and-file supporters. The details need not be reviewed here. We shouldn't even be talking about the Republicans right now, except to ask whether it's going to be a burial or a cremation. But the mealy-mouthed, spineless, corporate-grubbing, and base-screwing-over Democrats are now getting their asses handed to them by one formerly-little-known-Governor-turned-rock-star Sarah Palin. The Democrats deserve it. And I've got to tell you, I'm laughing my ass off watching it.
I watched a little of McCain and Palin on the stump this evening - or should I say, I watched John McCain gravy-training on the next Vice President. McCain is so obviously just a spectator during his own damn presidential campaign. He should be on his knees every night thanking Palin's parents for conceiving her. McCain should change his name to American Tourister, because Palin is carrying him like a cheap piece of luggage.
And there's not a damn thing the Democrats can do about it.
Obama left the Republicans the opening when he fucked his base over. Radical lefties tried to tell Obama, but he wouldn't listen. Now he's getting exactly what his arrogance deserves: a one-way ticket to the same mausoleum where the political corpses of Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry are interred.
So long, Barry. It was nice knowing ya. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out...
