I'm the Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth Now That Bernie Mac Is Dead

This blog posting was going to have the same title but be about John Edwards career. Who woulda thunk it that when Smails woke up this morning to post his blog, he would see the news item that Bernie Mac would be dead? Lucky Smails.

Why am I so lucky? Not only was he in no way funny, he also dissed the Cubs in the 2003 NLCS when he sang the seventh inning stretch in game six, calling out, ".... for it's root, root, root for the champs! Champs!" Following that call, the infamous meltdown happened. Bartman interfered with Alou, Gonzalez bobbled a sure double-play ball and Prior disassembled his brain on the mound while Dusty sat watching it all like it was a TV show of his or something.

From that moment, Bernie Mac replaced all the Steve Garveys, billy goats and black cats in Cubdome. If it's true that celebrities go in threes, there are two Steves I know of who may be a little bit nervous today.

I sure as Hell hope to God my Saturday night Three Stooges shows aren't replaced with a Bernie Mac Show marathon.

Fare thee well, Bernie Mac. You left us so little; you left us not soon enough.

Alright!

"People Suck"
It's a good title for a blog; a tongue and cheek approach to venting about those things that annoy us or are unjust, in a manner of speaking. The formula seems to be specific topic, a clear view point, a point of reference and some wit. Smails this post does not reflect well on this otherwise poignant blog. I find many of your writings offensive.
This post in particular is way out of line.

I am speechless. I can't believe that ANYONE would write such things about a person who was known in Chicago and elsewhere as a fine human being. You might want to take some pointers from him.
