What meaningless games?

August 26, 2017

Actually sorry for Julian Edelman, out for the year with torn ACL. But just guessing that outside about a 100 mile radius from Boston, no one’s shedding too many tears for #Patriots.

–

Oregon State is not helping #Pac12 starting off the year in fighting East Coast bias.

–

Uncertainly over Isaiah Thomas’s hip could lead to #Cavs voiding trade w/ #Celtics. Oops, Boston fans asking “how do you unburn a jersey?

–

As NFL injuries pile up, guessing seriously  most season ticket holders would be happier w/ higher regular season  ticket prices & fewer pre-season games.

 

Well, #Stanford and #Rice‘s decision to play today in Sydney instead of Houston is looking pretty prescient.

 

Three Carnival Cruise Line ships will extend cruises a day to delay return to Galveston over Hurricane Harvey.  The important question  for passengers – do they get free drinks?

–

Terror suspect arrested in London with a sword at Buckingham Palace, causes minor injuries to 3 policemen.
Meanwhile, on the M1 Highway about 90 minutes from London, 8 die in a massive traffic accident where 2 men arrested for dangerous driving.
Proving, once again, we have a lot more to fear from stupidity (especially when combined with testosterone) than terrorism.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care that spoilers were released for the #GameOfThrones season finale?

At least Texans who don’t believe in climate change & science, like the National Weather Service, had a few days of blissful ignorance before weekend. #HurricaneHarvey

–

Trump has pardoned Arpaio. There may be good people “on many sides.” Sheriff Arpaio isn’t one of them.

–

Trump doesn’t brag about firing neo-Nazi #Gorka, but brags about pardoning racist monster #Arpaio   Sad

 

Homeland Security Adviser Bossert – Trump’s Camp David weekend “isn’t a trip. I wouldn’t characterize it as a trip.” Translation, no golf.

Scariest thing on #TrumpPardon: If he pardoned Arpaio, who wouldn’t he pardon?

(Tony Bruno suggests “The interuption?”)

–

Joe Arpaio today ” I told my wife I don’t want nothing to do with politics, but now I’ve got to rethink that. I think I’ve got a big political message to get out.”
So does Trump think he’s going to appoint Arpaio to replace Sessions as Attorney General?

–

If you aren’t convinced yet on Arpaio, remember Maricopa County voters, who knew him best, voted him out of office last year. #TrumpPardon

 

So why didn’t just build a wall to keep out?
