We are mainly a sportsblog, but occasionally, something else catches our eye.
And this headline certainly did that:
'Reggie' the Alligator Believed Captured
Reggie is an alligator that has been living in a Los Angeles park for at least the past two years. He's six and half feet long. The authorities captured an alligator in that same Los Angeles park.
We aren't dealing with Miranda Rights here. Is the modifier "believed" really necessary? How many 6 1/2 foot alligators are living in the LA area? How many fucking alligators are in that park?
Certainly Arnold can take some time out, leave Sacramento, strip to the waist, and punch out any other gators that may be living there, right? If multiple gators are found, which is so unlikely that it boggles the mind, will they be named after other characters from the Archie comic books, or will they be named after other famous dicks in American media? Is there a gator named "Eddie Haskell"; how about "Derek" from Silver Spoons (Jason Bateman's finest work up until "Arrested Development")
My main point is: you got a fucking gator in the middle of Los Angeles. Shouldn't we assume it is Reggie? If the journalists were this careful with their facts when dealing with important matters, we wouldn't be at war right now.
(newest blogroll member, Media/Sports critiquer Sports Couch Potato is rubbing off on me, I guess. And if you've never rubbed off on a potato, then you just haven't lived.)

I disagree very strongly with your assertion that Jason Bateman's best work before "Arrested Development" was on Silver Spoons.
I believe you're forgetting a little film called Teen Wolf 2 (electric boogaloo).
