    I would rather cover city hall than any soccer match.

    Sorry, Inky, but you are wrong about that. There are absolutely soccer fans who say that when somebody simply claims that soccer is not his or her thing.

    No more nor less than fans of other sports who flip out when you say that about their favorite games.

    I told one friend, "I want to hear you talk about World Cup like you want to hear me talk about WrestleMania."

    Although I still think Coulter is Fred Phelps-like and giving her any attention at all detracts from humanity, it is quite entertaining to envision Shaughnessy confronting the fact that he occupies the same intellectual space.

    I think she is shittng where she eats on this one. Does anyone think the majority of soccer moms rolling in 75k SUVs and 50k minivans come from Obama voting homes?

    That is a lot of the Romney/TEA/GOP base she is shitting on here.

    And Skeletor is such a perfect nickname for her.

    I'm not entirely convinced she's a conservative. I mean no one can be that crazy and that dumb, right? This has to be some Colbert-like schtick where she pretends to be some uber troll.
    At least that's what the optimist in me wants to believe.

    Again, I hear it a lot more from soccer fans. As if the basics of the game are so hard to understand?

    Well, at least with the other major sports, you don't have to worry about being bitten (boxing excluded).
