Now it’s the White Sox’s Michael Kopech apologizing for racist homophobic teenage tweets. Think Jon Lester has it right – “…scrub your account of anything you wouldn’t want plastered next to your face on front page of newspaper. Better yet, don’t say stupid things in the first place.”

–

And didn’t we all have the reeling SF Giants managing to beat Jacob deGrom?

–

–

According to ESPN “upon learning about accusations made by Courtney Smith… Urban Meyer and a fellow football staffer discussed how to adjust settings on Meyer’s phone so that text messages more than a year old would be deleted.”

Maybe Kathy Bates was right “foosball is da devil.”

–

Just for the heck of it – the Who’s Roger Daltrey, interviewed last week & talking about his avoidance of hard drugs. “All I ever did was pot. I was f*cking boring. You try getting three people on acid from the Monterey Pop Festival to London.”

–

Rudy Giuliani said the American people would “revolt” if Trump is impeached. Only the revolting ones.

–

Duncan Hunter spent $600 of campaign funds on an airline ticket for a rabbit? Forget representing his constituents, the man isn’t even smart enough to find a decent travel agent.

–

It has been over a month & Donald Trump hasn’t mentioned another incredible young woman murdered in July #NiaWilson
Wonder why?

–

GOP Sen. Ben Sasse says he warned “Trump that firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions “would be a very, very, very bad idea.”
And what if Trump does it anyway? Sasse will be “very very” troubled?

–

Lindsay Graham, who in 2017 said if Trump fired Sessions “there will be holy hell to pay.” now says “The president’s entitled to an attorney general he has faith in…” Forget coal, we could power much of the US with wind power from spinning Republicans.

–

What times we live in when a President can’t even rely on his Pecker.

As Trump tweets late night again with a false brag about his election, who knew that 3am phone call POTUS would be ready for would be from Vladimir Putin or Sean Hannity?

Ohio State suspended Urban Meyer for games against Oregon State, Rutgers and #16 TCU. Means one thing, Buckeyes think TCU is overrated.
You do have to wonder, why didn’t Ohio State suspend Urban Meyer for four games? Game four is in Columbus, against that powerhouse Tulane.

–

Four games for covering up an assistant coach’s domestic violence. But hey, it’s not like Meyer would ever protect a murderer…. .  Oops, sorry, never mind.

–

Cleveland Browns assistant coach Bob Wylie, not into modern training ideas, on “Hard Knocks”: “We won two World Wars without stretching.”
But seriously, how can a Browns head coach claim to be an expert on anything involving winning.

–

“Redneck Woman” country singer Gretchen Wilson was arrested for causing a disturbance on an airplane. Well, if nothing else she should be able to get a new song out of the incident .

–

If it had come out President Hillary Clinton had directed her lawyer to pay off one of Bill’s ex-mistresses with campaign funds just before election, am sure GOP would shrug it off….

–

We really shouldn’t already be politicizing a young woman’s death. But since Trump started immediately… the alleged undocumented killer of Mollie Tibbetts apparently was working (illegally) for 4 years on Iowa farm owned by GOP politician. Making the employer an accessory to murder. #LockHimUp

–

Sarah Sanders ends her opening statement by expressing condolences to the Tibbetts family. “Sadly, the individual believed to be responsible for the murder is an illegal immigrant.”

She forgot to add, “Sadly, the individual who illegal employed her alleged killer for four years is a Republican who ran for Secretary of Agriculture in the state.”

–

Wonder why we’ve never heard Trump say that Nia Wilson was an incredible young woman?

–

Did Shakespeare imagine Michael Cohen? To paraphrase “Nothing in his life (covering for Trump) so became him as the leaving of it.”

Someday we’ll tell our grandchildren about 2018, the year that a President of the United States gave a porn star and some sleazy lawyers the moral high ground.

–

Trump continues to ignore Stephen Tyler’s request to stop playing “Living on the Edge” & “Dream On” at his rallies. Maybe people could start playing another Aerosmith song for him – “Hole in my Soul.”
