Limping into the weak-end…

April 27, 2024

Boston Bruins coach Jim Montgomery thinks goaltender Jeremy Swayman’s dominance against the Toronto Maple Leafs has gotten in Toronto’s heads.

How about the fact that every year Toronto finds some way to lose in the Stanley Cup playoffs is in the Maple Leafs’ heads?

–

Ouch. Three of ESPN top headlines this morning:

-D-backs ace Gallen exits in 6th with tight hammy

Brewers lose LHP Miley to Tommy John surgery

Marlins LHP Luzardo scratched with elbow issue

–

Is Jamie Moyer still around and interested in a comeback?

–

Julie Andrews is staying active at 88 and still writing books with daughter Emma Walton Hamilton They just finished their 35th together.

Hope Joe Biden invites her to his 2nd inaugural.

–

GOP apparently sent a letter to the Secret Service as they want protesters kept further away from the venue for July’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. “Further away?” Preferably in Madison?

–

President Biden talking about his opponent “I’m a grown man running against a 6-year-old.” This could be considered insulting. To parents of 6-year-olds.

If President Biden started attacking the media regularly would they give him more positive coverage?

Forget a New York Times interview. Who else wants to see President Joe Biden aka Dark Brandon show up for the cold open or Weekend Update on SNL Saturday Night Live?

–

All your need to know about today’s GOP “Barr, who said Trump shouldn’t be near Oval Office, says he will vote for him in 2024” Profiles in cowardice.

–

Wrap your head around this one. And this doesn’t even count people too powerful to charge like Ginni Thomas & her SCOTUS husband. “Fifty-three people who tried to keep former President Donald J. Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election have now been criminally charged.”

–

–

I know MAGA Trump world doesn’t want much history taught in schools. But remember it being a pretty basic tenet that America fought the revolutionary war and declared independence because we DIDN’T want a dictator king.

After Republicans deified Kyle Rittenhouse for fatally shooting two protesters he didn’t agree with, who knew they’d draw a line at one of their women leaders killing a dog?

–


I’m so old I can remember the worst thing a GOP politician could do to their dog was strap it to the roof of the family car.


Midwest update: Amy Klobuchar joining Gretchen Whitmer in showing us how real leaders and decent people treat dogs.

Opening days and confused

February 25, 2024

MLB opening day in just over one month.

And still so many big-name free agents unsigned.

Maybe teams start selling jerseys with “player to be named later”?

–

Richard Sherman arrested for DUI, second time in less than three years, though he reached a plea deal after his 2021 arrest.

Uh, Sherman is a Stanford grad, supposedly a smart guy, has

lots of money. Nothing against drinking but why do these guys never think of hiring a driver. Or Lyft/Uber.

–

AT&T is apologizing to customers and ‘making it right’ with $5 credit to customers after last week’s hours-long outage. Five whole dollars. “Siri, give me an example of adding insult to injury.”

–

Lindsey Graham, May 2016 “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed, and we will deserve it. Feb 2024 “Prominent South Carolina supporters such as Lindsey Graham circulating among reporters at increasingly loud Trump watch party” Hope John McCain haunts Lindsey’s dreams.

–

Many in GOP now saying they support IVF, popular with wealthy white people. So can some reporter ask them about “selective reduction?” It’s a medical procedure to abort some fetuses if IVF results in too many “successful” pregancies. Tough but often necessary CHOICE for women.

–

Beto O’Rourke, on book tour, decides to push Democrats to vote “uncommitted” in Michigan primary. It makes national headlines.

Amy Klobuchar & Debbie Stabenow, both in Senate Leadership, have been jn Michigan together to support & campaign for President Biden.

Crickets from national media.

–

MSM talks about huge win for Trump when Nikki Haley got 40% of votes in South Carolina.

Meanwhile, crickets on 96% President Biden got in South Carolina, while media still loves to talk about Dean Phillips, who got 1.7%, fewer than Marianne Williamson who suspended her campaign.

–

Nikki Haley, 52, & apparently sane, genuflected before Donald Trump during most of GOP primary season, only turning against him – and even then on style points – just before South Carolina,

And it didn’t work. It’s. A. Cult.

–

Didn’t work with Amy Klobuchar Didn’t work with Gavin Newsom So just how many Democrats is Kristen Welker going to have on Meet the Press in hopes of finding one who will say something negative about President Biden?

The prize is right?

December 7, 2023

Thursday night will be the NBA in-tournament semi-finals in Las Vegas, followed by the finals on Saturday.

So will whoever ends up winning this thing, will they hoist some sort of championship banner?

–

Good news for Zach Wilson – he’s starting this weekend.

Bad new for Zach Wilson, he’s still going to be QB1 on the NY Jets.

–

The real winner of tonight’s GOP debate? President Joe Biden To quote my late great stepmother: “We’re not perfect but they’re nuts.”

–

Two things can be equally true: 1. Nikki Haley dealt with misogyny in Wednesday night’s GOP Debate.

2. Just because the other Republicans (men) piled on her doesn’t mean she’s wouldn’t be an awful President.

–

So will someone explain to me how the same GOP who worries about our young people being traumatized by books in schools, doesn’t worry about young people being traumatized by the thought of being shot at schools?

–

Polls consistently show that a large majority of Americans and even about half of Republicans want assault rifles banned. (And most Americans believe in things like expanding background checks and closing gun show loopholes.)

And yet GOP in Congress still resists even more controls on such weapons. Why? GOP has become wholly owned arm of NRA.

–

Dana Bash on CNN, claiming that despite good economic signs “Biden administration is trying to tell voters how to feel and it isn’t working.” Meanwhile no matter what the news is CNN will tell voters why it’s bad news for Biden

–

Hawaii Senator. Brian Schatz on GOP insanity on Ukraine.”The idea if we don’t concede on wholly unrelated matter then Putin wins in land war in Europe… To my friends in media “STOP pretending this is normal.” “I could hold up foreign aid over climate change. But I don’t, I’m not bananas.”

–

Senator Patty Murray- calling out GOP for going back on their word for the budget deal they made earlier this year which House Republicans negotiated with President Biden. “When you negotiate a deal you don’t then bargain on how much of your word you’re going to keep.

–

Trying to imagine Ronald Reagan saying “Mr. Gorbachev, unless Democrats approve my tax cuts, don’t do anything to that wall.”

–

Today’s GOP, sadly, would have probably demanded after December 7, 1941 that FDR rescind Social Security Act to get approval and funding to declare war
