Not quite after midnight

September 7, 2025


How many people on the East Coast went to bed and turned off this Bills Ravens game? Heck, how many Buffalo Bills fans went home?

–

Lost in the insanity of the last four minutes of Bills-Ravens game. Buffalo got ball at their own 27 with 25 seconds left in first half. No time outs. And Josh Allen got them, (pass, spike, pass) downfield for FG where review had to prove there was 1 second left.

(And it didn’t even take a defensive F*up like the one that caused the “Minnesota Miracle” vs. New Orleans

–

Am a Saints fan but this from Josh Allen “People who left the stadium, that’s okay, we’ll be fine. Have some faith next time.”

–

Back to baseball, as the SF Giants go back to reality


So of course the first game the SF Giants lost in the past two weeks in truly awful fashion happens to be a blown win for Justin Verlander…


As competitive as he is, what about Justin Verlander trying the closer role for SF Giants next year?

Or late inning(s) of a tie game. Could pick up a win or more that way too. 🙂

–

–

Anyone think If asked this morning at the White House, Trump could have named the two men in the US Open final?

–

Imagine you’ve splurged for a bucket list trip to the men’s final. And you miss part of it because a “monstrous man baby” decided he wanted to spend millions in taxpayer dollars and show up to watch.

=

Fox News apoplectic on “Free speech” over UK comedian being arrested at Heathrow over tweet urging violence against trans-activists. (He was ordered to stay off Twitter.) Please. Trump wants to take Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship because he doesn’t like what she says about HIM.

–

As much as Fox News loves to praise Dear Leader’s deportations I’m waiting for all the stories of Americans who are thrilled to have gotten the construction, manufacturing, hospitality, agriculture etc jobs GOP CLAIMS immigrants have been taking from US citizens…

–

And what Fox News doesn’t cover often says as much as what they do. Fox website not covering Trump’s bragging on new “Rose Garden Club” at White House. Almost as if they know viewers would be appalled by fancy dinners for GOP politicians/donors while Donald slashes food assistance.

–

So was Trump unhappy because a Spanish speaking man won the US Open today?

Or because he couldn’t threaten Rolex into enough free watches over his threatened Swiss tariffs?

Fellow Democrats.

Didn’t seem to matter on a national level that New York City elected a man now indicted for multiple felonies as their current mayor. Why should it matter if NYC elects a democratic socialist this time? We have more important issues to argue about.

–

1 in 10 jobs in USA is supprted by tourism. World Travel & Tourism Council projected in May that United States will lose $12.5 billion in international visitor spending in 2025. USA was only country out of 184 economies that will see decline in 2025. Are we great yet?

Rough night

January 6, 2025

Senator Amy Klobuchar’s late father Jim wrote a book “Will the Vikings ever win a Super Bowl.”

In today’s game against the Lions could imagine him writing a column “Will the Vikings ever score a touchdown?”

–

Six incompletions in a row over two sets of downs for Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold inside the Detroit Lions’ 10 yard line at one point. And then another two incomplete passes starting at 3rd and goal from the 2 in the 3rd.. Now, admittedly as a Saints fan I haven’t paid close attention to the Vikings offense this year but maybe running the ball might have been an option?

–

Kansas City Chiefs plane delayed for hours in KC on their way to Denver, then the team lost 38-0 to the Broncos! 38-0?!

Anyone checked to see if folks wearing the Chiefs uniforms were actual KC players?

Meanwhile, how to lose a job in New England: When nothing is good about your season except you’re in line for the #1 draft pick, somehow managing to beat the Buffalo Bills.


So what time on January 6 is Orange Jesus going to Sharpie the blizzard away from Washington DC?

–

KAITLAN COLLINS (thanks Aaron Ruptar for posting the clip) to JD Vance in May 2024

:So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a builduing should be prosecuted?

VANCE: Yes

COLLINS: Ok, I’m just checking, because you helped raise money for people who did so on January 6.


Can we start a pool yet on the first person Trump will fire?

Brett Ratner, producer of Melania documentary, has been accused by many women of sexual assault & harassment- including following an actress into a bathroom without her consent. Patiently waiting for outrage from MAGA haters who claim they just want to protect women in bathrooms from trans women.

–

Fox News is headlining New Jersey’s decision not to require Praxis standardized tests for prospective teachers.

Funny, don’t remember Fox saying a word when Florida approved certificates for teachers in “classical schools” that do not require mastery of general knowledge, their subject area, professional skill, or demonstrated competence….-

–

Actually saw some MAGA today claiming January 6 was a “police guided tour ” And here I thought in my college days that Jim Jones would be the most dangerous cult leader of my lifetime.

–

Fox Headline: “GOP rebels switch votes to re-elect Speaker Johnson after president-elect intervenes” So did Musk call them?

–

Washington DC schools will probably be closed due to snow for the first day back after the Christmas break. Which means parents who have been home with kids for two weeks will be cooped up a little longer. Not perhaps a good omen for Dry January resolutions.

–

Sen. Amy Klobuchar questioned about GOP wanting quick confirmaton of Kash Patel as FBI director.

We know terrorist acts inspire copycats.

Even honest Republicans – thinking of potential attack where they live – must want an FBI focused on our safety instead of on Trump’s revenge fantasies.

–

How many members of Congress who ran from the mob on January 6 are going to be genuflecting before the mob’s ringleader starting January 20?

–


As President Carter’s state funeral begins in Georgia today, thinking while DonOld is whining about flags, filling our timelines with nice pictures of Jimmy Carter on January 20 would be a perfect response.

–


Maybe we need a positive thread for alternative viewing for the inauguration. Ideas that come to mind – anything about life of Jimmy Carter –

repeat episodes of Great British Bake Off? –

repeat episodes of West Wing or Ted Lasso? –

watching paint dry.

Other ideas encouraged.

Changing seasons…

November 22, 2024

Steelers -Browns game started in fall and ended in winter…. As snow starting about halftime blanketed the field in the late 3rd and all 4th quarter.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens after Cleveland won 24-19 night “I don’t really think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all. I think the conditions saved them today.”

Because somehow only one team played in snow?

–


As a California voter, yes, I admit I’d like to see us count faster. But dirty little secret of politics is that many states aren’t done counting. They just don’t have such close races. And ballot curing, which allows people to fix simple mistakes, is a bipartisan issue.

–

Just a thought. The behavior described in the sexual assault allegations against Hegseth, COULD have been a one-off. After all, Pete, only 44, has been a great family man otherwise, only three marriages and one of his children born to wife #3 while married to wife #2…

–

ND Sen. Kevin Cramer, a conservative, has a bipartisan bill w/ Dick Durbin to make limited number of already authorized green cards available to qualifed immigrant doctors & nurses, espec. in rural areas with shortage of healthcare professionals.

Cramer is being attacked on Twitter for it as a RINO.

It’s a cult.

–

Did Trump pick Pam Bondi because she’s a woman so he’s pretty sure she didn’t rape anyone

–


Now it comes out that,

1. Trump called Gaetz to say he didn’t have the votes

2. One of the alleged statutory rape incidents was a threesome.

Did Trump basically pull the nomination because he was jealous?

–

The International Criminal Court issues an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

–

How long do we think it will take in 2025 for them to issue one for Velveeta Voldemort?

–

Pete Buttigieg today talking at DC’s National Airport about how well staffed TSA is for the holidays. Enjoy this while it lasts. Elon and Vivek fly private planes. If they fire half of TSA, or more, THEY won’t be standing in airport lines for hours.

–

Apparently almost 32,000 voters in Pennsylvania voted for Kamala Harris but also voted for the Green Party’s Senate candidate.

Bob Casey lost by about 16,000 votes.

FAFO.

Would be almost funny if it weren’t our planet we were talking about.

–

In his usual all caps Velveeta Voldemort writes of the Press Freedom Bill. “REPUBLICANS MUST KILL THIS BILL.” Anyone still think he doesn’t want us to be Hungary, or Russia?


Senate Rules Committee, underrated for getting stuff done, will get even more interesting. For years Amy Klobuchar & Roy Blunt worked really well together on committee.

Sen Klobuchar now chair, but as it turns out ranking member Deb Fischer isn’t taking over. The job will be claimed by… Mitch McConnell

Ups and downs.

September 13, 2024

All you need to know about the SF Giants season

Three games against the Milwaukee Brewers.

13-2 win in the middle game.

And game one, two runs on hits. Game three, 0 runs on five hives.

Not enough castles, too many outhouses.

“Siri, what is a mediocre team?”

–

Meanwhile. apparently there might be issues with the Oakland A’s move to Sacramento.

 John Fisher might be the worst owner in the history of professional sports….. well maybe except for Charles Comiskey – google him, kids

(Even Marge Schott had her moments.)

But want another reason I root for the New Orleans Saints over the SF 49ers…. Actually the SANTA CLARA 49ers…

https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/article/49ers-pour-900-000-year-s-santa-clara-city-19761165.php

So who did he think he was, Crash Davis? Per ESPN “Minnesota Twins released minor league catcher Derek Bender on Thursday after he told opposing hitters the type of pitch that was coming to the plate during at-bats of the game last week.”

–

Trump knows… Every minute we spend refuting his lies on cats and abortion is a minute we don’t spend talking about the truth of his planned Project 2025.

–

Now he’s just throwing out “concepts.” Trump said today he’ll eliminate tax on overtime. Leaving aside that companies will pressure people to work off the clock or for salaries without OT, wonder how long it would take for executives to declare their compensation overtime?

–


People are saying that the only reason Donald Trump picked JD Vance as his running mate is that he wanted someone so incompetent and awful that GOP wouldn’t force him to step aside as his age and increasing cognitive decline became worse.

–

Giving undecided voters all the media attention is like teachers and professors giving extra credit to the students who didn’t start working on their papers until the night before they were due.

–

Cloing the night with this. 1. No one is aborting babies after birth 2. Haitian immigrants are not eating pets. 3. Trump Project 2025 is REAL 4. Every minute the media spends on 1 and 2 distracts from 3

Rays of hope

July 25, 2024

Robbie Ray, over a year removed from pitching after Tommy John surgery, made his first start for SF Giants today and gave up a run in the first inning to the Los Angeles Dodgers – walking two and hitting two.

Okay, who had Ray going on to throw five no hit innings and the Giants winning 8-3?

–

Not me.

–

And who had one of the first Paris Olympics cheating scandals being the Canadian women’s soccer team spying on their opponent with a drone?

Also not me.

–

Tne New York Yankees have fallen a game and a half behind the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East, but still hold the top wild card spot in the AL. The LA Dodgers with a 7.5 game lead in the NL West are looking for pitching help.

Both teams are expected to spend big at the trade deadline:

MLB payroll leaders for 2024.

  1. Mets − $305,624,274
  2. Yankees − $303,322,047
  3. Dodgers − $249,823,654

-So shall we have “Take me out to the ball game played on teeny tiny violins?

–

–

Not saying Biden Harris administration has been perfect with Gaza, and don’t know the solution. But anyone who is thinking of not voting for Kamala Harris in November out of sympathy for Palestinians should listen to GOP attacking Democrats today for not being pro-Israel enough.

–

Understand that the situation in the Mideast is complicated and Hamas is evil. But when Netanyahu talks about “sanctifying life…” Uh, how does he keep a straight face.

–

Netanyahu went on and on, speaking for over an hour today to Congress. Who does he think he is, Donald Trump?

Trump tonight at lie-filled rally

“They said something happened to me when I got shot, I became nice. But when you’re dealing with these very dangerous people you can’t be too nice.” Am fine with many potential VPs. But I’d so love Gabby Giffords to be our Second Lady.

–

Listening to the GOP being apoplectic about Kamala Harris over … plastic straws?? Does this mean if someone can come up with a biodegradable plastic straw that Harris & Democrats can brand it to win in a landslide?

–

How can GOP talk about DEI hires when every single person they have put on a Presidential ticket, along with their House and Senate leaders, are white men? Clearly Republicans are the ones who hire unqualified people because of quotas.

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Joe Biden always feels like he’s the luckiest guy in the world.” We are lucky as Americans to have had him as President.

–

Just thinking, you know who was a childless leader? Jesus.

Predicting picks etc

June 26, 2024

Ever feel bad because you think you should be better at your job. Save some of tonight’s NBA pundits predictions on which teams won the draft and look at them in a few years.

Doncic was drafted 3rd.

Curry was drafted 7th,

Jokic was 2nd round

Meanwhile the San Antonio Spurs picked Stephon Castle at #4 – potential star power but who knows – and sent tneir #8 first round pick, Rob Dillingham, to the Timberwiloves for two first round picks in 2030 and 2031.

Gregg Popovich is NEVER gonna retire.

–

Georgia upset Portugal 2-0 in Eurocup Action

Would it be wrong to wonder how many MAGA supporters saw this and reacted “USA USA USA!”?

–

–

Florida Governorr Ron DeSantis signed a bill making it illegal to release balloons into the air because it they are bad for the environment and animals.

Not that I don’t laud any small good things Deathsantis does, but let me get this straight. Balloons are a threat to the environment, but climate change isn’t? Make it make sense.

(Guess the balloon lobby didn’t donate to him?)

–

Smoked salmon sold at Kroger & Pay Less Market recalled for listeria risk Salmon was sold in AL, AK, IL, IN, KY, LA, MI, MS, MO, OH, SC,TN, TX & WV. Mostly red states. It’s only science.

What now? Eat salmon, ro own the libs?

–

Haven’t been to law school but even I know what “standing” is. (Standing is the right of a party to challenge the conduct of another party in court. Not about the issue itself.)

Some Republicans and right wing media now mad that apparently a majority of SCOTUS justices know it too.

=

–

As House Republicans try to save Steve Bannon from prison and try to come up with new ways to go after Merrick Garland, your reminder … Nancy Pelosi had a razor slim majority, AND had to deal with the far–left Squad. She managed to herd cats and be one of the most effecting governing Speakers in House history..

=

Wonder how many of the MAGAs cheering Trump’s off the cuff comments about not taxing tips actually tip their hotel housekeepers, Uber/Lyft drivers etc?

–

Never ceases to amaze me how President Biden will make substantive speeches on policy, or even have his administration make changes that help average Americans, and the media shrugs. But Trump can have an idea pop into his head for five minutes and the headlines go on for days.

Same time next year.

February 12, 2024

Super Bowl LIX is Sunday, February 9, 2025 in New Orleans.

What time this monday does the pre-game show start?

–

So how long before House GOP at Donald Trump’s urging. decide to launch a Congressional investigation into how Biden helped rig the Super Bowl for Taylor Swift’s boyfriend?

–

And now the real important question of the night. Did the Super Bowl go so long that Taylor Swift might be late for her next concert?

–

While it was great to see vaccinated Travis Kelce win a Super Bowl while unvaccinated Aaron Rodgers didn’t get past the first game of the season, how much is the cost of that Pfizer Super Bowl commercial going to raise US pharmaceutical prices?

–

A Robert Kennedy Super Bowl commercial?! What, did RFK Jr get tired of Dean Phillips getting all the less-than-mediocre white man attention?

Though seriously, as a political kid who was an RFK fan in 3rd grade, the more I think about it, the more his son’s commercial ripping off JFK’s ad makes me.

–

Since we could bet on everything at this Super Bowl anyone know what was the over-under on number of Trump supporters who would turn off the game during the black National Anthem?

–

Well Caitlin Clark had an “off-day” with only 31 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds and Nebraska had an amazing 4th quarter comeback to upset Iowa. So Clark is 8 points short of the all time record. But wonder what ticket prices will be for Michigan-Iowa women’s basketball game Thursday night.

–

Non political question of the night: Does the average American consume more calories on Thanksgiving or Super Bowl Sunday?

–

In the political good news department, this should be a bigger headline. -GOP senators defy Trump by advancing foreign aid bill

18 GOP Senators are less in thrall to Velveeta Voldemort than the US media seems to be.

Josh Hawley, who is not a fan of Mitch McConnell: “Who has more influence? Probably Trump. I mean, he’s the future.” Whatever people think about Donald, even those planning to vote for him in Nov., hard to imagine an out-of-shape overweight 77-yr old man as the “future.”

–

Elderly man with poor memory attacks Nikki Haley over her husband not campaigning with her: “Where’s her husband? Oh, he’s away. … What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone.”

Michael Haley is with National Guard & deployed in Africa. But guess Trump forgot.

–

Tommy Tuberville not only handicapped our military with his months-long stunt, he’s now actually tweeting defending Putin. Alabama, you could have kept Doug Jones. Heck, Alabama, you could have kept Jeff Sessions… (who actually looks good now by comparison.

–

Trump threatens to ‘encourage’ attack of NATO members behind on “payments.”

“Nice little NATO alliance you have here, would be a shame if something happened to it.” Why isn’t this a bigger story?

I support President Biden. But if he had decided not to run in 2024, and appointed VP Harris as his successor. does anyone think we wouldn’t be hearing nonstop negative stories on her? Or ANY other person Joe endorsed? Media misses Trump. It’s that simple.

NFL Weak 18

January 7, 2024

Dennis Allen actually apologized to the Atlanta Falcons after he told the Saints team to take a knee up 41-17 at the end of the game, and the players decided to get Jamaal Williams one more touchdown.

For those who don’t know, the Saints HATE the Falcons, and as one of two 9-8 teams in the NFC who didn’t make the playoffs (the 9-8 Packers did) nd a loss to Atlanta in a close and poorly officiated game kept New Orleans out of the playoffs.

–

Somewhere, if he’s not too busy preparing for the national championship game, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh “What’s your deal?” is laughing.

(for those who don’t remember – https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/coaches-say-whats-your-deal-was-no-big-deal/ )

–

Of course, the 7-10 Falcons fired their coach. The Saints 9-8, just missed the playoffs and will get a worse draft pick. (And Saints also blew a 17 point lead to Green Bay with less than 11 min to go in the game earler this year. So maybe Allen should STFU about his players scoring. Just saying.

.

Apparently Brad Allen, who missed a critical pass interference against the Falcons in that first loss by the Saints in Atlanta, then missed a critical pass interference against the Packers vs the Chiefs, AND called back the Detroit Lions game winning two-point conversion against Dallas, almost called a penalty on the wrong team again today.

Allen is the NFL equivalent of Angel Hernandez.

–

Looking at the Happy J6 posts and not sure what’s scarier – the people who insist the violence was necessary, those who pretend it was peaceful, or those who claim it was violent but a government false flag. MAGA cult can’t even get their lies straight.

Anyone too young to remember Tim Russert sadly will never know that “Meet the Press” used to be a great show instead of a stage for wanna-be fascists to perform in front of hacks.

–


“Washington would be rolling in his grave if he could see the sad state of our Republic.” More like “Washington would be rolling in his grave if he could see the sad state of our Republican party.”

–

Mike Pence about poll saying 1/3 of GOP believe lie that FBI instigated January 6 attack “They simply need to look to the facts that the Capitol Hill Police endured great hardship and great harm,” How long until some MAGAs go back to the “Hang Mike Pence” chants?

–

Amy Klobuchar in book “Joy of Politics” tells of being escorted with most Senators to undisclosed location in US Capitol complex. And many hours later having to get police to break into cafeteria for food because it wasn’t safe to leave. . Scary day & night.  Amazing and sadly Republicans who were THERE now deny how bad it was.

Would love to see some of these national media types, who treat every verbal stumble by President Biden as a sign of dementia, asked why they don’t talk the same way about Trump’s daily word salads?

MAGA Mike Johnson to GOP colleagues on deal after he & Schumer announced deal on US govt spending: “While these final spending levels will not satisfy everyone & they do not cut as much spending as many of us would like…” Over-under until when Marge & others try to depose him?

–

Travel agent PSA:

Not all 737s are 737 Max 9s

Not even all 737-900s are 737 Max 9.s

Going to be a rough few days with weather and some planes being grounded but take a deep breath and double check your plane before panicking.

Now back to snark.

Not exactly bowled over.

December 18, 2023

ICYMI, there were seven bowl games this weekend.

No, I didn’t watch any of them either.

–

As much as the NFC South justifiably gets criticized for mediocre team, after this week an NFC South team (or two) will be essentially tied for a wild card spot.

–

And yes, the New Orleans Saints, who are never mediocre, but rather bipolar at 7-7 are one of those teams.

But all you really need to know about how much mediocrity is in the NFC, both the 5-9 Chicago Bears ad NY Giants are still alive in NFC playoffs,

–

Years ago remember thinking some people, men especially, actually liked Bill Clinton more for his tomcat behavior with women, because they could live vicariously through him. Thinking with Trump’s worse behavior some of his base is living vicariously through his crime spree?

–

Donald Trump today “Did anybody ever hear of the great Alphonse Capone, Al Capone, great, great head of the mafia, right? “Now, I heard he was indicted once – but I was indicted four times…” Wonder who he’ll compare himself to next?

–

So leaders of Florida’s GOP Party voted to strip Chairman Christian Ziegler of his authority on board & to reduce his $120,000 salary to $1. Wonder if the rape allegation or the involvement in a bisexual threesome was what pushed Republican over the edge?

–

Joe Manchin “The House has been resistant, but can assure you they will not get anything accomplished unless they start working together in a bipartisan way on challenging pieces of legislation.” Manchin expects us to believe GOP-led House actually wants to accomplish ANYTHING?

Many in GOP and right-wing media are obsessed with Hunter or anyone in Joe’s family possibly benefiting from the Biden name. Wonder how many of them have themselves benefited from legacy admissions or have jobs they got through family connections?

–

As Putin talks about Finland, warning of he country being dragged into NATO,

Remembering a favorite poem from the late poet Jon Stallworthy:

“War Song of the Embattled Finns Snow inexhaustibly falling on snow! Those whom we fight are so many, Finland so small, where shall we ever find room to bury them all?’

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

An early Thanksgiving…

November 22, 2008

Many men and teenage boys in America are giving thanks early.  Most weekend shows of “Twilight” are sold out.

–

On Thanksgiving Day itself, the NFL’s featured game will be between the now perfect Titans and the perfectly awful Lions.  Guess it’s the league’s way of making sure all their fans get a Thanksgiving Turkey.

–

The woeful Washington Wizards fell to 1-8 to open the NBA season.  On a brighter note, they’ve just been declared honorary members of the Bush administration.

–

Backup University of Florida quarterback Cameron Newton was arrested and charged with stealing another student’s laptop.   He is the second Gator to be arrested this year.  Who do they think they are, the FSU Seminoles?

–

The stock market finished another tumultuous week.  Most Americans haven’t seen numbers fall this fast since President Bush’s approval ratings.

–

A woman gave birth earlier this week on a Finnair flight.  Good thing she was flying Finnair and not an American carrier.  Upon landing they would have probably charged her an extra child’s fare.

Or-  from my funny friend  Alex Kaseberg – when her water broke TSA  might have arrested her for bringing on more than three ounces of liquid.

It’s not too early to think about the playoffs..

November 13, 2008

The NFL has announced lower playoff ticket prices for this year.  Yet another attempted economic stimulus that won’t trickle down to Detroit.

Apparently the average ticket price will be down 10 percent from last year.   Except in Arizona, where Cardinal fans are still saying “So what ARE these things called playoff tickets?”

–

Sarah Palin continues the blame game for her and John McCain’s loss last week -everyone from the media, to staffers, to being muzzled, to Bush’s policies…  Any day now she’ll complain that they might have won if voters weren’t influenced by Simon, Randy and Paula.

–

And President-elect Obama is already beginning his efforts to put together an administation that will help ailing industries.   Although for comedy writers, he’s already chosen Joe Biden.  

–

John McCain made his first campaign appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.  Well, where else could he have gone for more sympathy after having lost a job to a younger, less experienced man? 

 

And finally, an incredibly tacky joke:   Don’t read if you are easily offended.

Barack Obama chatted this week with Bill Clinton.  At one point Obama asked the former president about living with a dog in the White House.  Clinton replied, it’s not so bad, you have interns.
