Kanye West for bullying a sweet teenage girl, for grandstanding (again), and finally for stealing a once in a lifetime moment from a truly deserving star. It was beyond any excuse! Taylor Swift always shows how lovely, beautiful, and mature she really is~ inside & out! Thank u, Mr. President, it was QUITE the Presidential remark! Loved it!

If it’s Friday, that means that after a long week of doing the “grin and bear it” routine, we’re closing in on happy hour… when we get to gin and beer it. So to help us slog through the rest of this day, let’s do a bit of venting about the people whose behavior put them atop our hit list — as in people we wanna smack — this week?

Topping my personal hit list is…

* … the woman who rolled down her window to scream at me because I was crossing the street and impeding her attempt to make an illegal right-on-red-turn.

* … the person who parked in a handicapped space at the local sports park… and then proceeded to jog for 30 minutes on the track. Yes, the car had a handicap parking pass hanging from the mirror, but you know what? I don’t care what your handicap is — visible or not — if you can jog, you don’t need that spot.

* … the politicians — Democrats and Republicans — who wasted time talking about why Congressman Joe Wilson should or shouldn’t be taken to task for calling President Obama a liar. How about moving on and getting something done about, oh, say, health care… you know, the issue y’all were supposed to be talking about before Wilson’s childish outburst?

* … Kanye West and Serena Williams for their very public, very rude examples of hubris.

* … Army Captain Connie Rhodes, whose lawsuit — which basically claimed that because President Obama supposedly is not an American citizen and thus not legally allowed to hold office, her deployment order was null and void — was kicked to the curb by a judge. Ms. Rhodes, whose actions were both cowardly and deplorable, was represented by infamous birther/attorney/realtor/dentist Orly Taitz, who got a slap of a different sort from the president judge: He warned that if she filed any similar cases in the future, she would face sanctions.

* …  the execs at CBS for cancelling Guiding Light, the longest-running dramatic program in television history, which airs its final episode today.

*… the “God Hates Fags” crew from Westboro Baptist Church, who plan on disrupting an upcoming Bat Mitzvah being organized by one of our favorite peeps. These wildly disturbed hate-spewing, publicity-seeking, funeral-picketing, gay-bashing, religion-eschewing freaks would be funny if they weren’t so vile.

While many people advocate turning the other cheek when dealing with people such as these, I’d rather have all the folks listed above be the ones to turn the other cheek… so it can be smacked as well!

Who’s topping YOUR hit list this Friday?

Y’all need to stop blaming Kanye West for what happened at the MTV Video Music Awards and cut the guy some slack.

I know, I know, you’re wondering how a site that was founded on the notion of bettering our society’s behavior could possibly condone a man getting up on stage to steal the spotlight from a deserving artist, but hear me out.

It wasn’t Kanye’s fault.

We live in an era where members of Congress feel perfectly free to heckle the president mid-speech and a television personality has no problem calling the leader of the free world a “racist” with “deep-seeded issues with white people.” 

How can we expect more of our entertainers — be they egotistical, opinionated rappers or foul-mouthed, judgement-questioning tennis pros like Serena Williams or Roger Federer, both of whom lobbed obscenities during the U.S. Open — than we do our elected officials?

And besides, as we now know, at least Kanye has the excuse of being drunk.  As far as we know, videos of Congressman Wilson and Glenn Beck guzzling liquid courage before shooting their mouths off haven’t yet surfaced. 

Sure, Donald Trump has accused Kanye of “grandstanding to get attention”, but being driven by delusions of grandeur is something the sometimes-bankrupt tycoon knows nothing about, so why listen to him?

And let’s face it: In the end, West may actually have been right. How many people here have gotten tipsy and danced at an office party to Taylor Swift’s “You Belong To Me”? Anyone? Bueller? Okay, same question about Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.”

Don’t make me break out the Youtubes.

In any case, it’s become abundantly clear over the past few years that more and more of society wants to live in a “speak now and don’t ever hold your peace” world.  Actions no longer have consequence, and envelopes are made for pushing.  Yell at the president. Disrupt town hall meetings. Become famous for nothing more than being what some would call “outspoken” others just plain rude. (And yes, I’m looking at you, Spencer Pratt!)

Apparently, it really is Kanye’s world, and we’re all just living in it.
