		<description>I had a realization today when I was reading the Times article that had people recounting their Sonics memories. I realized that my memories ended about 9-10 years ago. Since then, I haven&#039;t cared about the team on the court at all. The teams of Vin Baker and Vladimir Stepania, Ruben Patterson and Shammond Williams, Jelani McCoy and Olumide Oyedeji, Ansu Sesay and Peja Drobnjak just didn&#039;t inspire anything in me. Then I realized I just don&#039;t care about the NBA all that much. 

My hope is that the NBA doesn&#039;t grant the city a team in the next few years, David Stern retires (or dies, Jew bastard), and the league goes in the toilet a la the NHL. Without his heavy hand, the league built on teenage millionaires and public financing will have a hard time sustaining itself. Then, when the league is &quot;beleaguered&quot; they will grant a new team in an attempt to right the ship. The city will be in a position of power, and the franchise will be done the correct way, and that will help rebuild the civic pride that has long been missing.</description>

		<description>I am hoping that karma is already starting to rear its ugly side to all the parties involved in this turdly ordeal.  The signs are looking good with Starbucks and Howard Schultz facing a financial downturn.  Unfortunately that bastard is so rich it just means downgrading his baby sandwich from Swedish to Finnish.  I would like to see the people of Seattle revolt against Starbucks and just boycott that place until that greasy asshole is run out of town too.  I quit going there the day Schultz sold the team and life has not been any different at all.  One time at work they gave everyone Starbucks cards as a thank you gift and I gave mine back to the HR person and told her to get me one from Uptown Espresso.  My request was fulfilled.  Next up, I start painting bricks with Sonics colors and throwing them through windows of my neighborhood Starbucks then dumping buckets of diarrhea into the coffee machines.  See if you can taste the difference!</description>
