It’s not over til it’s over

April 18, 2025

Why baseball is the best sport:

No clock

“Arizona, became just 3rd team over the past 50 seasons to lose a game in which it had a 10-run inning at any point.”

The Diamondbacks had their 10 run inning in the 8th, took an 11-7 lead to the bottom of the 8th. And lost… 13-11.

–

I’m so old I remember when an 82 game season that allowed 16 of 30 teams into the NBA postseason was considered enough of a “play-in round.”

–

Kilmar Abergo Garcia was wearing a KC Chiefs hat in his meeting with Chris Van Hollen today. So is ICE gonna start arresting and deporting Chiefs fans now too?

–

Aaron Rodgers now saying he is uncertain about his future and could even retire. Or maybe Mr. “I do my own research” is hoping to work with RFK Jr. at HHS?

–

How many times do we all need to hear this? Personally apologizing to the President of the United States should NEVER be a requirement for a state to receive federal funds, or a university to keep its tax exempt status.


I missed “It’s going to take some time” and “we’re going to have to go through some pain” from Trump and GOP on the 2024 campaign trail…

–

Trump’s latest acting IRS commission has been fired, fewer than three days after being appointed.

Heck, Donald’s relationship with Stormy Daniels almost lasted longer than that

–

And now Trump administration is blaming Harvard for their confrontation because they say the letter most recently send with unreasonable demands was a mistake and Harvard should have known that?

–

Harvard Thursday: “We will continue to comply with the law. And we expect the administration to do the same.” Hello, 911, I’d like to report a major burn.

–

Trump has done the impossible: Made Harvard into a courageous underdog.

–

This White House is the gang that couldn’t shoot democracy straight…

–

I really don’t like this documentary combined sequel to Dr. Strangelove and the Manchurian Candidate.

–

Velveeta Voldemort wants the FDA to stop routine food safety inspections. And the GOP is silent. Once again Pro Life My Ass..

–

Donald Trump appointed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair.

Donald Trump chose Christopher Wray to lead FBI.

Donald Trump put Christopher Krebs in charge of the new Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency. See the pattern?

–

Very impressed with Senator Chris Van Hollen who got to see Kilmar Garcia. Have to wonder… did it help that he is a low-key white guy, who no one can accuse of being far-left or media-focused?

–

A reminder. The Germans outsourced their worst concentration/death camps to Nazi Germany occupied Poland. Now Trump is outsourcing US concentration/death camps to US funded El Salvador.

–

Again for those in the back:

Democrats believe in the rule of law Democrats DO also believe in due process. Which benefits all of us. If charges alone were enough to throw someone in jail or deport them, Biden could have sent Trump to prison or Moscow years ago.


The suspect in Thursday’s Florida State shooting is the son of a sheriff’s deputy. So a good guy with a gun until he wasn’t?

–

Trump used the mother of a woman murdered by an immigrant in a photo op to somehow justify sending Kilmar Alberto Garcia to El Salvador.

Are we going to deport some children of sheriff’s deputies because one of them just killed two people at Florida State?

Curlin and Rachel Alexandra

May 18, 2009

Horse racing’s newest star filly, Rachel Alexandra, will apparently be bred to Curlin, a former superstar in his own right.   Which will make them the most famous parents in the thoroughbred world.

Wonder if Curlin and Rachel will then adopt zebra foals from Africa?

–

Or

Wonder if before they mate, if the filly will have to convert to Scientology?

–

Arnold Schwarzenegger received an honorary degree at USC, although he never attended classes there.    Does this make him an honorary football player?

–

Arnold Schwarzenegger received a honorary degree from USC.  The Trojans hope this increases the odds of a gubernatorial pardon for their basketball program.

–

President Obama spoke at Notre Dame commencement Sunday and faced several hundred protesters who were upset at his pro-choice stance.  The protesters said it was nothing personal but they would protest any speaker on campus who was not anti-abortion.   Unless he could lead them to a New Year’s Day Bowl game.

–

The NBA playoffs seem to go on forever, especially when series like Orlando-Boston and Houston-Los Angeles last seven games.  Though as the Lakers point out, in a seven game series, you only have to show up for four.

–

Okay, a political thought here… but.

Apparently Republicans are already gathering ammunition and preparing their arguments against President Obama’s Supreme Court pick, even though Obama hasn’t actually announced his choice yet.

Not that this might affect his decision, but in the spirit of this so-called bipartisanship, have Republicans thought of actually suggesting a few names of candidates they actually think ARE qualified?

–

Nancy Pelosi claims now that she did not know the CIA was engaging in waterboarding or other forms of forture.  Although in hindsight maybe she should have been suspicious when the CIA liasion who briefed her was Jack Bauer.

–

Though I admit it, I am a fan of 24.  And usually end up supporting what Jack and his new cohort Renee do to get answers on the show.  But let’s be real… expecting torture to work because it works on 24, is like writing an analysis of marriage based on Desperate Housewives.
