few months ago,
Gilbert Arenas wrote this on his NBA.com blog:
Obviously, our vote doesn't really mean anything. Then you have this thing called the delegate, then you got the super delegate and then you got the hidden delegate that nobody knows about. If you've never heard of the hidden delegate, that's like when you're buying a car and they say the taxes on the car are 20 percent, and then when you look at your statement, they charge you an extra three, that's the same thing. It's the hidden fee delegate that nobody knows about who has all this power. They actually get to pick who they want for president. So when I start looking at it like that, that's when I stop paying attention because at the end of the day, our votes really don't matter.
On Saturday, Arenas
showed this off to his teammates:
Arenas has decided to show his permanent support of President-elect Barack Obama with a tattoo. Arenas had the words "Change We Believe In" tattooed onto the fingers of his left hand in cursive writing. Then, Gilbert showed the outside of his pinky finger, which had "44" inked on it.
Gil tells the
Washington Post's Michael Lee that his previous statements about voting and democracy and jury duty were an elaborate joke no one got. Ink is a heckuva way to try to prove that. Still, something rings hollow. You're allowed to be undecided in August in this country ... but for someone as opinionated as Gil, it just seems unlikely.

Common is this a joke.... Obama is in people's heads and all because he says the word change every two seconds. I think it is pathetic a tatoo of a saying like that? That's like me getting a tatoo of something Bill Clinton said 8 years ago... Just plan old stupid... Especially when the change Obama is bringing is going to turn into Socialism and then Communism... He is a far left liberal... And yet people vote for him only because he is half black young and is a good speaker who loves the word change. He has no experience and no one even knows what he is going to do that's like letting me become president...

When are you bloggers going to finally stop giving this idiot the time of day?
Arenas is as much a media creation as Obama and they both are gonna cost Washington D.C. more then they're worth.
Arenas has his own blog let him cover his own ignorance there, in the meantime you astute journalist can get back to writing on such things as "the hottest Olympians under 15" and dumb crap like that.
