Poopy heads?

December 13, 2016

Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman, angry at the NFL’s scheduling of Thursday night games, referred to them as a “Poopfest.” Would that be the title of a potential 49ers Browns game?

–

As fans wait for the end of 49ers season, remember that SF was sure they could win without Jim Harbaugh. And they have, 6 times in 2 years.

–

Jim Harbaugh told Michigan players rumors of him returning to NFL are “lies spread by our enemies”. Will he next accuse  Putin of being an Ohio State fan?

–

Lebron James wore a discreet safety pin on his lapel for the SI Sportsman of the Year cover. You may not like Lebron on the court, you may not agree with his politics. But the guy is a great role model for celebrities who want to express political views with class. IMHO.

–

An American Airlines flight from Charlotte to San Francisco diverted with a mechanical problem to Phoenix for 5 1/2 hours. No word on compensation for passengers, especially on the most important question – “Do we get extra frequent flier miles?

–

From Bill Littlejohn : “Jennifer Lawrence is in a bit of hot water after relating a story in which she used sacred Hawaiian rocks to scratch her itching derriere.  .Butt Fumble II?”

But hey, maybe she just wants to date Mark Sanchez.

–

#GarthBrooks will apparently not be performing at #Trump‘s inaugural. Guess he doesn’t have friends in THAT low of places.

–

So how many reasons did #RickPerry give @realDonaldTrump to choose him as Secretary of Energy?

–

So why did Trump appoint Rick Perry Secretary of Energy?
Because there was no Secretary of Arithmetic?

–

President Obama today signed the “21st Century Cures Act”, a $6.3 billion bipartisan bill to fight cancer and streamline the FDA approval process for drugs and medical device. It also includes $1 billion for states to fight substance abuse and drug addiction.
Waiting for the Trump rebuttal.

At Trump Tower, Kanye West met w/ President-Elect Donald Trump this am to discuss becoming “an ambassador of sorts.”

At the Onion offices “We give up.”

–

 

No joke. The Trump transition team has asked ffor the DOE to “provide a list of all Department of Energy employees or contractors” who have “worked on climate change policy.”
We throw the term McCarthyism around, but this time it may have nothing to do with Russia. #Scary

(if mean bitch Karma  wants to unleash a tsunami in South Florida, a good place to aim at would be Mar A Lago)

Someone is running for President in 2020…. Ohio Gov. John Kasich rejected the so-called “heartbeat bill” which would have banned abortions after about 6 weeks. He did sign a bill preventing abortions after 20 weeks. #verysmallmercies

–

In Oklahoma, a law passed this summer will require all public restrooms by January 2018 to have anti-abortion signs posted. Many businesses oppose the measure, not for the message, but because there is no funding and they say it is an unfair mandate that will cost them a total of $2.3 million for the signs. #priorities.

Unintended consequences

December 13, 2016

Becoming apparent to rest of NFL that Roger Goodell’s wrist slap over Deflategate has given Patriots a well rested QB for playoffs.

–

#Smartpeoplebeingstupid department  Amherst College has suspended their men’s cross country squad over an email chain that goes back to 2013 including  racist, sexist and homophobic insults.

Once again, in this day and age, isn’t the suspension not only for bad behavior,  but for also being arrogant and dumb enough to put that sort of nasty stuff in emails?

–

 

Lane Kiffin is going to be the next head football coach of Florida Atlantic. Could be a good fit, FAU is probably not on the NCAA radar for possible suspensions.

–

#Rams coach #JeffFisher has been fired with a 4-9 record. #49ers fans wonder if he was fired for over-achieving.

And actually at 4-9 the Rams have more wins than the 49ers, Jaguars and Browns put together.

–

That moment when you see a headline about two people who are obviously famous and you have no clue who they are: “Flip or Flop’ stars Tarek and Christina El Moussa separate.”

–

#Youcantmakethisstuffup Reports are now that Rick Perry is Trump’s top choice for Energy secretary. Back out in 2011, Energy was that third Department that the Texas governor forgot he wanted to eliminate.

–

 

Carnival Cruise Lines doesn’t allow passengers to bring bottles of liquids on board, but they started last year selling bottled water for $2.99 a 12-pack, then raised prices in March to $3.99, and now just raised them again to $4.50 plus gratuity. So what’s the real policy here – “Let Them Drink Beer”?

–

Gary Cohn has been named as director of the National Economic Council, making him the 3rd Goldman Sachs executive to join the Trump team.
Well, heck, since she was so tied during the election to those speeches, when is Trump going to find a role for Hillary Clinton?

–

Oil prices jumped today after several non-OPEC countries, including Russia, reached a deal to cut oil production. Where’s the furious angry tweet from our “populist” President-Elect?

 

Of course we will never get full agreement in this country on who was behind the hacked emails in this election. But, on the other hand, ALL the leaked emails were to embarrass and damage one candidate. Because the RNC and Trump campaign were so morally upright, or so much more technologically advanced? #whenyouhearhoofprintsthinkhorsesnotzebras

Sometimes it’s just as if Trump is a child in the sandbox thumbing his nose and going “Nyah, nyah, nee nyah nah”. The Donald yesterday on Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson – “a great advantage is he knows many of the players, and he knows them well. He does massive deals in Russia….
