Sweet sixteens

March 26, 2024

Who breathed a bigger sigh of relief when Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes came back to win tonight’s game and advance to the women’s Sweet Sixteen. Iowa fans? Or ESPN?

–

–

Another reason to cheer for Caitlin Clark, she’s proved if your heart takes you somewhere in college basketball, doesn’t have to be of 1 biggest name schools. If you’re good enough, you & school will be big names. More know Caitlin’s name than any man in college basketball.

–

Actually, the stars in men’s basketball have become the coaches. At least the names most of us remember.

–

Why in the world would NBC think they need to give MORE airtime to an election denier? Like most of cable news they already give too much airline to the #1 election denier – Donald Trump

–

If President Biden announced he had cured cancer increasingly convinced that “Breaking News” on cable TV would be coverage of Donald Trump’s (dishonest) reaction to that news.

–

Donald Trump whines that you can’t have a trial in the middle of an election – “not fair.” So why hasn’t he told his House GOP cult members to knock off their election year impeachment efforts against President Biden?

Sen. Raphael Warnock was on Face the Nation talking voting rights & defending Joe Biden’s accomplishments -including “Black wealth is up 60%… black unemployment is at all time low…” He got zero headlines. Whereas NBC platforming an election denier…..Competence isn’t clickbait.

–

WTF? Marco Rubio tried to defend Trump on immunity for conduct while in office, but conceded “Donald couldn’t “go out & basically kill staff overnight inside White House” which Rubio called “absurd” hypothetical.

Right, Donald wouldn’t hang Mike Pence himself, he’d outsource it.

–

Donald Trump claims that dealing with a trial in court will keep him from campaigning. But President Biden is capable of running the country while also campaigning. Joe is up to the job, but clearly Donald is too old to be President.

.-

You know how brilliant Joe Biden’s response to Donald Trump’s dishonest bragging about golf- “Congratulations Donald, quite an accomplishment,” was by the number of MAGAs today who say President Biden doesn’t run his own Twitter account.

President Biden’s tweet congratulating Trump continues to go viral & clearly got under Donald’s skin. Joe needs more snarky nice surrogates.

Fortunately Amy Klobuchar supports Joe & is up to task. Remember this from Trump’s illege RNC speech on White House South Lawn?

“@amyklobuchar

·Aug 27, 2020

Get off our lawn.”

–


Did not have Chuck Todd as one of the first voices of reason attacking NBC News on my 2024 Batsh*t Bingo card.

–

Rachel Maddow tonight talks about how radical people have wanted to take over American democracy before. “What has always been fringe project before now” has support of major party-GOP. And it could win. Because people in so-called normal politics have laundered it. Nailed it.

–

–

Also ,

“Want to associate myself with my NBC-MSNBC colleagues who’ve have voiced loud & principled objection to company putting someone on payroll who’s part of ongoing project to get rid of our system of govt. She’s still trying to convince us elections are fraudulent.” Rachel Maddow

Win some lose more.

Giants got Snell. I’d rather have Renel

–

Seriously, has there ever been a franchise that managed to screw up PR on a day they signed a star free agent as much as the SF Giants, in also parting with one of the most popular faces- and voices -of the franchise?

As SF GIants fan who’s hated As since 1972 when they beat my childhood team the Detroit Tigers in the ALCS, been guilty of schadenfreude watching Oakland ownership.

Not today, not sure who to blame, but getting rid of beloved PA announcer Renel Brooks-Moon seems like a decision even John Fisher wouldn’t have made.

–

South Carolina freshman basketball forward Sahnya Jah entered transfer portal. Coach Dawn Staley suspended her in Feb for “conduct detrimental to team.” But Jah is good enough she’ll probably find another school to take chance on her. Not sort of equality women’s sports aspired to.

–

These people who Donald Trump calls “unbelievable patriots” participated in an event that resulted in many police officers being injured, and in the death of Brian Sicknick. Hey GOP – Say HIS name.

–

Saudis had no problem committing $1.89 billion in equity to help Musk purchase Twitter. But they didn’t see fit to help Trump post a bond. Are Saudis deciding the useful idiot is no longer useful?

–

How can American voters even be thinking of trusting a man to lead our country when that man can’t even find a single lender willing to trust him with a $456 million bond?

–

Really tired of headlines like this: “Congress scrambles to avert shutdown after weekend delay.” More accurate headline – “GOP House circus puts USA on verge of yet another unnecessary potential shutdown drama.”

–

Not claiming Biden is handling situation perfectly w/ Israel & Gaza & not claiming there IS a good solution.

But to Gen Z & others saying they will stay home or vote 3rd party- this statement from Donald Trump: “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.”

–

Can reporters start asking EVERY Republican member of Congress if they agree with Donald Trump’s statement now that those convicted and in prison over January 6 are “patriots” & “hostages?” So far only Louisiana GOP Senator Bill Cassidy has publlcly disagreed with Trump.

–


Trump’s attorneys say they cannot make the $464 million bond in his civil fraud case. Too soon to start the pool as to when the RNC under Lara Trump will announce they are broke?

Let the Madness begin…

March 18, 2024

It’s that time of year when millions of Americans are outraged over some teams not making March Madness, at the same time they can’t name a single player on those teams. #SelectionSunday

–

Oklahoma, Indiana State, Seton Hall and Pittsburgh were the first four teams left out of March Madness. And Oklahoma, Pittsburgh plus St. John’s declined invitations to the NIT tournament.

Is NIT now officially the tournament of chopped liver?

–

Know Scott Boras is supposed to be a super agent.

But it seems like only yesterday Blake Snell was asking for 9 years and $270 million

–

Putin apparently has won the Russian “election” with 87.8% of the votes. The other 12.2% presumably will be dying soon of “natural causes.”

–

So apparently RFK Jr is considering Nicole Shanahan, as his running mate. Nicole is the very rich 2nd ex-wife of Sergey Brin, who he divorced after she allegedly had an affair with Elon Musk.

Feel like I lost IQ points just writing this sentence.

–

So if you found out a while back that your “English-Irish” heritage was really Ulster Protestant – orange – is it cultural appropriation or worse to wear green on St Patrick’s Day? Asking for a friend.

–

NY Times ignores former VP Mike Pence saying he won’t endorse Trump. But they had no problem giving previously unknown congressman Dean Phillips headlines for criticizing Biden.

–

I just wish the NY Times would give as much coverage to Mike Pence not endorsing Donald Trump as they give to random people in diners who claim to be disillusioned with President Biden.

–

NY Times headline “How Trump Is Scrambling to Raise Cash – “Former president facing converging financial crunches as he & GOP confront shortfall against Pres. Biden & Dems. Way buried lede -part of cash crunch is over $500 million in bonds needed from the TWO court findings against Donald..

Speaker Mike Johnson on GOP bashing each other in primaries. “I told them to cool it. I’m vehemently opposed to member-on-member action in primaries. It’s not productive, it causes division & we should not be engaging in that.” Has he listened to Orange Jesus Trump lately?

Many MAGAs routinely say that Donald Trump didn’t really mean what he was saying, it was a joke, slip of the tongue, whatever. But if Joe Biden ever so much as stumbles on a word, or utters a gramatically imperfect sentence, it’s grounds for declaring him unfit.

–


Can anyone imagine if President Biden was the one who said he had beaten Barack Obama?

–

Nasty GOP primary for US Senate in Ohio gets nastier as Trump-Backed MAGA candidate Moreno is linked to gay hookup site., He says it was a prank.

Personally don’t care if he’s gay or not, except that he’s anti LGBTQ rights.

But Ohio has a better option than all 3 GOP running. Re-elect Sherrod Brown. Effective no drama Senator who cares about Ohio.

–

Peak bloom for Cherry Blossoms in Washington DC – March 17 – was not only the 2nd earliest on record – it was three days before the over 3-week-long Cherry Blossom Festival even started. But sure,there’s no climate change. #sarcasm

Media headlines all Biden’s verbal stumbles, but not his Gridiron quotes.

But love these Dark Brandon lines. “Expectations were so low, I just had to show up & remember who the president is.” “One candidate’s too old & mentally unfit to be president, The other guy’s me.”

–

Saw Jacksonville Beach trending and hoped it was just stupid spring break behavior. Nope, another active shooter. Not quite a mass shooting for now as only three were shot.

–

It’s the guns, stupid.

Ashen Wednesday

March 6, 2024

After a maybe not so Super Tuesday?

–

Politics aside, sure does seem sometimes like NBA players are as bored with the regular season as the media is with Joe Biden’s Presidency.

–

Opening day is March 28, 2024. Three weeks away.

I’m so old I remember when this time of year you’d wonder who’d win starting jobs for a few positions at your favorite teams. Not if many players, especially Scott Boras clients, would be on your favorite teams?

–

EIGHT Democratic candidates were on the California ballot for the Presidential primary.

Haven’t heard of most of them. But how’s media going to spin the few who vote for each of them as bad news for Biden?

–

And answer to a trivia question a two part trivia question some day.

  1. Who won the California Democratic Presidential primary in 2020? Bernie Sanders (Kamala Harris was still neutral at the time, not sure if it would have mattered)
  2. Who finished second in 2024 ? Marianne Williamson.

–

Alex Wagner on Joe Biden – “He is not a great campaigner, he has been a really effective President.” Nailed it. Why is it so hard for many Americans to realize democracy is not a reality TV show.

–

Trump fundraising email subject line “I’ll never stop loving you.” DId Donald write it looking in the mirror?

–

Have to wonder….as Mitch McConnell, who is already stepping down as Senate leaders, endorses a man who has insulted him for years, and still attacks his wife with racial slurs, is there ANYTHING Trump could do that would go too far for these cowards?

–

Trump International Hotel, Waikiki has rebranded as the Wākea Waikiki Beach. So the hotel was able to cleanse themselves of the Trump name. Too bad the GOP couldn’t do the same.

–

Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake is now trying to convince Republicans and independents that she is no longer MAGA. Sorry, Kari’s been MAGA much longer than 15 weeks, it’s way too late to terminate.

–

Fun sidebar from last night: Adam Schiff in top 2 for US Senator in California. So Stanford with plenty of representation in Congress already, now is likely to have two alums in Senate two years apart: Adam Schiff, class of 1982 & Minnesota’s Tina Smith, class of 1980!

Not sure if greed or fear is stopping them. But there’s legitimate argument to be made for Republican with long-term aspirations to say “Given alternatives, I’ll vote GOP for House/Senate, but I’m voting for Biden so we have a country & a democracy left to fight over in 2028.”

–

Unpopular opinion: Have often been furious at Kyrsten Sinema. But had Martha McSally won AZ in 2018, Mitch McConnell would’ve kept gavel 2 more years. Worst Democrat now is better than best Republican. Something we need to remember in purple states, especially primaries.

Not a bad Super Tuesday for Democrats.

But if there were a primary referendum on the color of the sky, some voters in the party would vote for an alternative to blue as not being pure enough.

Made to be broken

March 4, 2024

Congratulations to Caitlin Clark, for breaking the all-time NCAA scoring record set by Pete Maravich today.

–

And while as a late bloomer I might be in a minority of people who remember Pistol Pete, how cool is it that most sports fans, even if they don’t love women’s sports or basketball, know who Caitlin Clark is?

–

And if fans of men’s basketball, college and NBA still complain women don’t score enough..

Iowa’s women’s basketball team with their 93-83 win today over Ohio State, outscored both the Clippers and Timberwolves in Los Angeles’s 89-88 win over Minnesota.

Yes, I know it’s not the same game….

–

–

Warriors Celtics is today’s NBA showcase game. If your idea of a showcase was Christians Lions.

Halftime score 38-82. Not a typo

–

Do NY Times and Washington Post actually interview people who are pleased with President Biden?
I’m sure they do, but it’s like Jaywalking used to be. If Jay Leno asked questions of smart people who gove smart answers, or even normal people who gave semi-smart answers then they didn’t get on air.

–

–

NY Times headline “Republicans Nod to Trump’s Influence in Race to Succeed McConnell.”

Can’t stand McConnell, he broke SCOTUS & much of our democracy with it. But if he’d just voted to impeach Trump after Jan 6 Donald wouldn’t be able to run in 2024.

Mitch owns this too.

–

One of most repulsive things about today’s media: If pretty white woman or girl is killed by a partner, a stalker, ex-boyfriend, pedophile, random sociopath, it’s a brief flash in news cycle.

If it’s a black or brown girl it might not even make the national news cycle.

But if a young woman’s allleged killer is undocumented, her photo is shown regularly for weeks at least.

–

Yes, Fani Willis could have used better judgment. But if a pro-Trump while male judge was found to have had a sexual relationship with a staffer, MAGA GOP would either dismiss it or put it down to a mark of his virility

–

Stock market at record highs, car prices finally falling, Biden helping Texas during horrific wildfire without attacking the red state, crime is down… And NY Times has headline -For Democrats Pining for an Alternative, Biden Team Has a Message: Get Over It. They miss Trump

–

Trump says moderate Republicans are no longer welcome in the GOP “We’re getting rid of the Romneys…we are 100 percent MAGA.”

Dear Senator Lisa Murkowski.

Although we disagree on many things I will defend you if you become a conservative Democrat or Independent who caucuses with Democrats.

We have a big blue messy tent. But we’re not insane.

–

NY Times headline “Republicans Nod to Trump’s Influence in Race to Succeed McConnell.”

Can’t stand McConnell, he broke SCOTUS & much of our democracy with it.

But if he’d just voted to impeach Trump after Jan 6 Donald wouldn’t be able to run in 2024

Mitch owns this too.

–

Suppose it’s good to see GOP signs of sanity with Nikki Haley beating Trump with 62.% of votes in DC Primary.

But leaving aside small number of Republican voters in DC why does media report 80-90% of Democrats voting for President BIden as bad. As Joe actually WON an election.

Match races

February 28, 2024

Some US media reporting on Biden’s 81% in Michigan vs Trump’s 68% reminds me of an old Soviet Union joke:

A USA car beat a Russia car in a match race. Pravda headline “In race today Russian car came in second. The American car came in next to last.”

–

Wait, according to Stephen Colbert, Trump says he doesn’t have to post bond “because he’s too rich?” Uh, wasn’t Donald’s conviction for lying and overinflating his assets?

–

Has any reporter asked a Democrat voting uncommitted in Michigan over Biden not magically getting a ceasefire in Gaza if they really want to return to a President who will reinstitute a Muslim band, plus arrest and even deport protesters?

I’m waiting,

WTF Washington Post headline:

“Biden wins MI primary but faces notable showing by ‘uncommitted. On GOP side, former president Donald Trump continued sweep of early primary contests.”

President Biden – 81.2%, “uncommitted” 13% Trump -68%, Haley 26.7%

Thinking Jeff Bezos really wants his tax cuts?

–

“House Speaker Mike Johnson said he hoped Congress could avert government shutdown. “We have been working in good faith around-the-clock every single day for months and weeks.” Uh, two weeks ago MAGA Mike sent House home for two week vacation. Does he think we’re that stupid?

–

Meanwhile in Hawaii, a tourist claiming he wanted to see the sunrise, drove his rental SUV off a cliff on the Big Island – in an area rental car companies tell you not to drive due to poor road conditions and lack of cell service.

He survived with minor injuries.

Thinking someone is lucky to be alive.

And someone is about to learn about those waivers with rental car insurance.

–

Louisiana Senator John Kennedy talking today about how teenage children are not mature enough to make decisions on gender-affirming care. But he and most of GOP have no problem with saying children are mature enough to become parents if they get pregnant -even by rape or incest.

–

Mitch McConnell & John Thune, two top-ranked GOP leaders, today yielded to conservatives to call for all Senate to conduct a full trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Maybe Majority Leader Chuck Schumer should schedule trial for nights and weekends.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

–

Trump lawyer badgering Terrence Bradley over him saying Nathan Wade only told him once about dating Fani Willis.

Speaking as a woman who has often talked & joked with others about how little men talk to male friends about anything personal, why is that statement controversial?

–

From Seth Meyers’ question on his age: “Other guy – he’s about as old as I am, but he can’t remember his wife’s name,” President Biden said, referring to appearance where Trump referred to Melania as “Mercedes.” Can anyone imagine if Joe stumbled over Jill’s name?

And then there were almost none.

February 17, 2024

What’s left of the Pac-12 and commissioner George Kliavkoff have “mutually agreed to part ways” the league announced Friday.

In less than 3 years with Kliavkoff as commissioner, USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon joined the Big 10, Cal and Stanford joined the ACC; and Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State joined the Big 12.

For all of us who have ever thought we were bad at OUR jobs.

–

On a lighter note: ESPN reports Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo will be suspended for first 2 games of 2024 NFL regular season for violating league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. If we needed more proof that PEDs often don’t work.

–

Joe Manchin has announced he is not running for President. Am not fan of Senator Manchin, but as I’ve said modestly defending him in past, he’s red state Dem who often votes right way in the Senate & he could be much worse. Lately, as with Dean Phillips, we’ve seen much worse.

–

Not completely a shock but so sad and outrageous to see that Putin finally murdered Navalny. So who on Trump’s staff convinced him not to crow about it on Truth Social.

Meanwhile over on Pravda aka Fox News “Biden blasts House for 2-week ‘vacation’ despite facing criticism for his frequent beach trips.” President Biden travels to his beach home regularly where he is constantly available & works much of time. GOP House cut & ran.

–

Was Navalny’s murder on the morning of Judge Engoron’s expected ruling a reminder to Putin’s puppet that Vladimir owns him.

–

So how long will it take for Trump to grift $354 million from his followers?

Judge’s ruling against Donald Trump said Ivanka Trump had “inconsistent recall” in her testimony. So does that mean Ivanka is a prematurely elderly woman with a poor memory?

–

Stephen Colbert ranting on media covering the Presidential Election like a horse race. “Except in this horse race one of the horses is old. The other horse is old, has hoof and mouth disease and keeps quoting horse Hitler.”

—

On serious note, if you want to honor Alexei Navalny guessing he and his family would prefer a donation to your favorite Democratic member of US Congress running for re-election. (or running in a close swing district against a Republican opponent. Because watching GOP in action lately seems like best hope for democracy is to keep the Senate and retake the House.

Not that into them

February 7, 2024

Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman says the currently Oakland A’s stadium plan “does not make sense” and that A’s ownership should go back to the drawing board and pitch a new plan in the Bay Area.

When even a town that loves its sports franchises, Golden Knights, Raiders, Aces, doesn’t want John Fisher’s team…

–

Not that we need an excuse. But hey, sports fans, looking for an reason to skip yet another Super Bowl Pregame show? Caitlin Clark might break the women’s basketball all time scoring record Sunday against Nebraska.

–

Chris Christie on why he won’t endorse Nikki Haley: “Because she’s not running against Donald Trump.” Nailed it. For all his crimes, the only thing Nikki criticizes Trump on is his age.

–

Dean Phillips claims the primary is rigged. Nikki Haley is claiming the primary is rigged. At least Bernie Sanders has redeeming qualities along with his wine/whine.

–

“None of these candidates” included mediocre millionaire from MN who continues his vanity campaign. President Biden got 89.6 to their 5.7%

So media, again, if you want to talk to someone from Minnesota, make it Amy Klobuchar. Or Tina Smith or Tim Walz. They all support Joe.

–

As GOP in George Santos’s district run stealth candidate, an attractive Jewish woman of color, they don’t want voters to know: She is anti-choice She won’t criticize Trump. She would support MAGA Mike in whatever votes he wants. If you know anyone in #NY3, please tell them.

–

Shout it from the rooftops Sen.Chris Murphy: “We worked 4 months on this bill… I guess it’s the negotiators’ fault. we reached a compromise that would actually fix the problem. But it turns out Republicans don’t want to fix the problem.”

–

Bill Clinton got re-elected. Democrats in Congress didn’t genuflect before him.

Barack Obama got re-elected. Democrats in Congress didn’t genuflect before him.

Donald Trump LOST re-election & faces multiple indictments. GOP in Congress genuflects before him. Make it make sense.

–

For the non-political junkies out there. Ken Buck is VERY conservative. Tom McClintock is VERY conservative. They just appear, like Liz Cheney, to have some scruples. Which in today’s GOP makes them unicorns.

–

Feb. 2021, McConnell said Trump was “morally responsible” for Jan. 6 attack on U.S. Capitol. If Mitch had only voted to convict Donald at his 2nd impeachment trial, USA, INCLUDING the GOP, would be so much better off now. And today we’d have Ukraine Aid/border bill. #Coward

–

GOP – “Back the blue!” GOP after January 6, “Unless Trump gets Capitol police killed.

GOP “Pro-life” GOP – “Unless it’s migrant women & children, or pregnant women.

GOP – “Support the Border Patrol.” GOP now “Unless Trump doesn’t want the border fixed.”

See a pattern?

–

Not that it will happen but have long wished Kyle Rittenhouse’s mother was tried as well as Jennifer Crumbley….

–

And yes, the Oxford High School shooter’s mom’s name is making headlines, but let’s not forget THESE names: Madiyson Baldwin, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Justin Shilling, 17; and Hana St. Juliana, 14. The victims should be remembered more than those responsible for their deaths.

–

How many Senators spent how many hours on negotiating bill GOP said they wanted? 

And how many staffers gave up nights & weekends to get it done.

Only for GOP to turn around & say, “Just kidding.”

Why should ANY American trust anything any Republican politician says ever again.

Bad odds.

February 6, 2024

Due to bad weather in the San Francisco Bay Area delaying and canceling flights it took some media folks longer to fly to Las Vegas, normally about 90 minutes, than it took others to drive (by car it takes about 8 hours)  Normally the only thing that wastes an entire day at a time this week involves a Super Bowl pre-game show.

–

So now that the flag football is out of the way, what’s the NFL going to do to keep getting headlines the rest of the week?

–

And for $7,000 and up a ticket do attendees at least get a download of all the commercials?

–

How upset must Donald Trump be about King Charles III having cancer? All the speculation on the type of cancer will be taking attention away from HIM.

(Yes, I was being snarky. but Donald’s all-caps Truth Social post did talk about Charles, “who I got to know very well….”)

–

So if Texas secedes how quickly can the rest of the country limit how many Texans cross our USA border?

–

Has Trump called the Border Patrol Union RINOs yet?

–

How many Senators, including GOP leaders, spent how many hours on negotiating a bill Republicans said they wanted? And how many of their staffers probably gave up nights and weekends to get it done. Only for GOP to turn around and say, “Just kidding.”

Our allies are already despairing of us with GOP controlling House and Trump controlling MAGA Mike Johnson?

But why should ANY American trust anything any Republican politician says ever again.

–

Hey Senate GOP.

1. Trump lost last time, if he loses again he won’t have much power over you.

2. IF he wins, he will make your lives hell and eventually throw you under the bus anyway. So why not grow a spine and do the right thing?

Jim Jordan says “Let American people decide’ on border bill in Nov.

WIll someone ask Gym on camera if border is a crisis, why wait 9 months before trying to solve it?

And since GOP is saying “We’ll do nothing until election,” basically abdicating their jobs, can we cut off their pay until Nov?

–

So if the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941 with today’s House GOP in charge would they have said, well, we’re going to have to wait until the next election to respond because we don’t want to make FDR look good?

–

Stephen Colbert on Trump saying he thinks he can flip New York and New Jersey. “There is no way on earth Trump is flipping those states. Though I can think of one thing voters in New York and New Jersey would be willing to flip him.”

Are you ready for some not football?

February 5, 2024

Top ESPN headline “NFC clinches back-to-back Pro Bowl Games wins with clutch fourth-and-goal stop.”

And if you seriously knew that or cared about the game, you might need a hobby.

–

As we start a week of stories about suites at the Super Bowl costing over a million dollars, your reminder that Republicans think billionaires still need more tax cuts.

–

The Big Ten and SEC conferences announced they have formed a joint advisory group of university presidents, chancellors and athletic directors to “address the significant challenges facing college athletics” and how to improve the student-athlete experience.

Translation: How can we make it all just about us and our “student-athletes” and make the other conference grovel for scraps?

–

Believe that both Netanyahu & Hamas are evil. But as protesters demanding cease-fire disrupt & shut down many Dem events, why aren’t they going after GOP?

Mike Johnson “House won’t rush to pass Senate border-foreign aid deal but will take up stand-alone bill for aid to Israel.”

–

Why does it matter Dean Phillips stays in race, since he has no chance? Because national media LOVES to put mic in front of this mediocre Minnesota rich man to bash Biden.

Whereas plenty of other good Democrats would gladly use that time to tell reporters about Biden’s accomplishments.

–

Hey JD Vance. Remember this? “I do solemnly swear that I will support & defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign & domestic; that I will bear true faith & allegiance to the same.”

–

How many younger people are watching the Grammys, hearing the category “Record of the Year,” and asking “what’s a record?”

–

Don’t always watch the Grammys as there are so many acts I’ve never heard of and the show makes me feel old. Fortunately tonight was an exception. Trevor Noah AND that Tracy Chapman / Luke Combs duet right up front made it worth tuning in. Not to mention Joni Mitchell.

–

–

Mike Johnson on Meet the Press attacked Biden administration for “projecting weakness on world stage.” What about weakness of no longer supporting Ukraine?

And weakness of taking back the promises to Afghans who helped Americans.

And weakness holding up military appointments for politics.

Clean up your own House, MAGA Mike

–

We already knew Marianne Williamson’s a narcissist who loves attention.

Dean Phillips at least pretended to be serious politician, albeit not particularly effective. He’s under 2% in S. Carolina. What will it take for Phillips to learn – Dems are not at ALL into him?

–

Scarlett O’Hara in the end on Ashley Wilkes “I loved something I made up, I made a pretty suit of clothes and fell in love with it.” This is what the national media is doing with Nikki Haley.

–

Nikki Haley got a nice puff piece moment on SNL, but the Bear’s Ayo Edeberi won the cold open: “I was just curious, what would you say was the main cause of the Civil War, um, and do you think it starts with an ‘s’ and ends with a ‘lavery?’ ”

–

Hey SNL, if you had to give Nikki Haley a spot, why not do same for Democratic politicians. Amy Klobuchar can be seriously funny. Pete Buttigieg has great comic timing as well. Heck, invite Amy & Pete on together. Enough people remember 2020 primaries it would be must-see TV.

The odds are odd.

February 2, 2024

The Pro Bowl on Sunday has devolved into some skill events and flag football games.

And yes, you can bet on them.

But if you know what those events are, and/or have made betting plans, you just might have a gambling problem.

–

As a number of big name free-agents remain unsigned, I’m so old I remember when we talked about pitchers and catchers reporting, we knew basically which team’s they’d be reporting to

–

The Dow on Thursday added 369.54 points, or 0.97% to close at 38,519.84. A new record.

This wasn’t a headline with most major national media.

But they found time to cover polls, and GOP chaos, and why “fill-in-the-blank” is a problem for Biden

–

Nikki Haley says “This is not personal for me. I don’t have issues with Donald Trump.” Uh she professes to care about democracy, leaving aside fact Nikki is a woman and daughter of immigrants. Can someone ask Haley why DOESN’T she have issues with Donald Trump?

–

Calling Donald Trump a sick F*ck actually seems like a more accurate demonstration of mental competence than “person woman man camera tv.”

–

While 150 Democrats is trending on social media and GOP is trying to stir up outrage, your reminder, President George W. Bush had a DUI, and VP Dick Cheney had two DUIs.

(Their proposed law makes any non-citizen deportable for a DUI conviction or even charge.)

–

GOP House new proposed law makes someone convicted of even or charged with DUI not only deportable but inadmissable from USA. So if other countries say someone convicted or charged with crime is inadmissable, gonna make it real hard for Trump if re-elected to go to most summits.

–

Tom Cotton went to Harvard and served in US Military. Pretty sure he knows that Singapore, one of the most capitalist countries in the world, is not China. But he’s hoping GOP voters don’t.

–

Travel agents know weird trivia. For example, air distance between Singapore & Shanghai is 2359 miles, further than from Los Angeles to Washington DC.( Singapore Beijing is 400 miles further.) Practically right next door. In case Tom Cotton supporters needed a geography lesson.

Interesting little sidebar on yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with the biggest social media companies. No executive from Trump’s Truth Social was included. Not because they behave better. But because they don’t matter. #Irrelevant

Keeping score

February 1, 2024

 Now at 3,424 career points, Caitlin Clark will set her sights on the NCAA’s all-time scoring record of 3,527, held by Washington’s Kelsey Plum.

One of the coolest things. While Kelsey Plum may not be a household name (she now plays for the Las Vegas Aces) These days thinking most sports fans, men and women know who Caitlin Clark is.

–

So how many Scaramucci’s did Alina Habba last?

–

Two things we know.

1. Trump said GOP Senators who vote for the border deal would be making a ‘terrible mistake.”

2. Trump has no idea what’s in the BIPARTISAN border deal.

–

Put this (accurate) Washington Post headline question on the things I did not have on my batsh*t bingo card. “Can Lankford overcome the right?” James Lankford is one of the most conservative members of Congress.

–

Speaker Johnson today suggested that no immigration deal will be acceptable to him unless it completely eliminates illegal immigration — something that will never happen.

Want to end this madness? Vote Blue in November. As my late great stepmother said “We’re not perfect, but they’re nuts.

–

QAnon had a fundraiser for former gubernatorial candidate and current US Senate candidate Kari Lark.

Sorry, you can’t be a little bit pregnant.

And you can’t be a little bit QAnon.

Arizona, remember this when Lake tries to pretend in November that she’s semi- moderate.

–

As rightwing media attack what they call the idolization of Taylor Swift, Stephen Colbert responds “Yeah, stop worshipping false idols and buy yourself a piece of Donald Trump’s old suit.”

–

It’s now all about pulling away the football all the time, Who else thinks that if President Biden did decide to deal with the border by executive action as GOP is now suggesting, that Republicans would immediately try to impeach him for overreach?

–

Fascinating Senate Judiciary hearing today on protecting children online. Amazing number of GOP Senators (not all, Tom Cotton still being a jerk) actually talking reasonably w/out usual nonstop Biden bashing. We have bipartisan agreement on issue. Time to get some bills passed.

Amy Klobuchar: “When door blew off Boeing flight nobody questioned decision to ground 700 planes. Why aren’t we taking same sort of decisive action on social media? We know kids are getting hooked on fentanyl, seeing dangerous content on eating disorders, committing suicide over revenge porn.”

She’s right. and no one died as a result of the scary Boeing incident. A lot of kids have died from online fentanyl, from eating disorders, and as she said, suicide.

Missed chances

January 31, 2024

Headline “Lions’ Dan Campbell under fire after gutsy fourth-down decisions fail. Detroit coach’s go-for-broke mentality cost his team in Sunday’s 34-31 loss to SF 49ers.” Uh, I don’t remember Campbell dropping easy catches and fumbling, and not downing great punt at the one.

–

Buried lede on the story about the young Russian figure staker who helped her team win gold in 2022. but has now been disqualified, and served with four-year ban.

“Valieva will be ineligible to compete until December 2025, roughly two months BEFORE the 2026 Winter Olympics are scheduled to begin in Milan.”

We can do this all over again. As the US now gets the gold medal for 2022.. But isn’t it all Olympians dream to get their medals over 2 years after the games?

–

Maybe President Biden should do a rally in Florida with both Taylor Swift and Mickey Mouse. GOP heads would explode.

Hey Velveeta Voldemort. Even your January 6 supporting buddy Senator MIKE LEE loves Taylor Swift. Back in Senate hearing into Ticketmaster’s monopoly practices he was quoting Swift songs, and saying how his daughter said if he didn’t do something she’d call Senator Klobuchar herself.

Donald, you’re gonna lose this battle worse than DeSantis lost and is losing to Disney.

–

GOP Senator James Lankford is anti-choice, anti-voting rights, pro-Trump. But he said “GOP 4 months ago would not give funding for Ukraine, Israel, & the border bc we demanded changes in policy…now a few months later we’re like, “oh, just kidding.” So for that they censure him.

–

Plenty of time to investigate how a drone was able to kill 3 American troops in Jordan. But some in GOP are already trying to blame Biden.

Has it occurred to them Tommy Tuberville’s nine month hold on military promotions sure didn’t help US readiness?

–

Governor Tim Walz is doing a great job for Minnesota Senators Amy Klobuchar & Tina Smith are doing great job for Minnesota & Americans across country. Dean Phillips is missing votes for Minnesota & running a useless vanity campaign. Why is media giving HIM nonstop publicity?

–

Although Taylor Swift is exactly Velveeta Voldemort’s type. Tall, slender, pretty, blonde. Like his first two wives, his daughter, E.Jean Carroll back in the day. Have to assume his hatred for her is partly personal, she’s made it very clear she finds him unattractive.

–

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were in SF and Oakland this weekend. As reported by Gabe Lehman of SFGate, this great line from Poelher about Donald’s $83 million judgment for defaming E. Jean Carroll

” We finally found something Trump won’t do for money: Shut the f—k up,”

Trump likes to brag of great relationships w/ Kim Jong Un, Putin, Orban, etc. If one of his dictator buddies let slip privately he knew of planned 2024 terrorist attack against USA what do we think Donald would do? Tell President Biden? Or let it happen so he could blame Joe?

–

If Fire Chief were an elected office and today’s GOP were firefighters, they’d show up with your house ablaze and say “We’re going to let it burn until you vote for our guy.”

–

At this point is there ANY good bipartisan deal that Congress could negotiate that Trump wouldn’t try to sabotage?

Oh father…

January 22, 2024

As the California Senate debate happened tonight..

Tonight Steve Garvey wouldn’t say if he’d vote for Biden or Trump.

So is he lying?

Stupid?

Or hit on the head with two many foul balls?

–

Quotes from Steve Garvey in 1989 when he got 2 women pregnant & marrried a 3rd.

“I’ll live up to my moral obligations, which I feel strongly about because I’m Christian…”

“In both cases, I was led to believe that I wasn’t responsible for birth control.”

=

Maybe time to revive this 35 year old joke based in fact:

What are the 3 most common questions asked in a Lamaze classwaiting room.

1. Is this your first?

2.When are you due?

3.Aren’t you Steve Garvey?

–

Here’s the link for those who may have forgotten or are too young…

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-02-24-sp-332-story.html


So is Taylor Swift’s next song gonna be “wide right?”

–

In Florida, GOP has been caught using ghost candidates in state races – vaguely progressive description for those “tired of politics as usual.” In some close 2020 races a “ghost” not campaigning took enough votes to give GOP win. Third parties don’t win, they spoil.

–

Meanwhile – Now ex Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis was polling at best near 5% in New Hampshire. To put that in perspective, in NH in 2020, Ron wouldn’t have beaten top 5 Democrats Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Liz Warren or Joe Biden. He’d have about tied Tom Steyer.

–

NY Times headline “The Emasculation of Ron DeSantis by the Bully Donald Trump.” Uh, that implies that DeSantis was any sort of a real man before Trump started attacking him.

–


Many Democrats dropped out of 2022 race and endorsed Joe Biden, but remained popular in their home states. A few improved their national profile. Deathsantis did neither. He’s term-limited out but appears to have squandered what good will he had even with many GOP in Florida.

–

On the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, can anyone imagine if somehow if SCOTUS now decided what state a man lived in affected his ability legally to procure Viagra?

Winners and losers

January 21, 2024

Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer earns 1,202nd victory to tie Mike Krzyzewski’s record

This should be a bigger story. Hoping it will be when Tara breaks the record.

–

WTF ESPN? This headline “Iowa’s Clark- fan collide after Ohio States upset win.”

Uh, Ohio State fans stormed the court after their upset win and one of them crashed into Caitlin Clark, knocking her to the ground in pain. Fortunately she says she’s not injured but it was “kind of scary.”

I know women’s college basketball gets short shift to the men’s game on many things, but security shouldn’t be one of them.

(and hey, I get storming the court in excitement, but players should have been able to leave the court first.)

–

Ron Deathsantis has suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump

” Uh, the primaries aren’t close to over. Shouldn’t Ron be forced to take his campaign to term?

–

Asked if she would vow not to be Trump’s VP, Nikki Haley said yesterday being vice president is “off the table.” “Off the table” isn’t “Yes.”

And “I don’t want to be anyone’s vice president.” Of course if he asks she’ll say she didn’t want it but will do for good of country.

–

Tim Scott and Nikki Haley still want to take all our rights away. They just would do it with a nice smile.

–

Ron DeSantis now saying that Trump voters in Iowa had told him they would support him in four years. ‘They were coming up to me saying, “We want you in 2028, we love you, man,” Big strong men with tears in their eyes?

–

Give whoever runs Joe Biden’s twitter account a raise.

This Tweet today “I don’t agree with Nikki Haley on everything, but we agree on this much: She is not Nancy Pelosi.”

–

Wow while rambling about January 6th, a confused Trump repeatedly blamed Nikki Haley for January 6th and says Halely (not Nancy Pelosi) was in charge of security for the Capitol.

President Biden was a childhood stutterer and has made verbal gaffes since he was a young man. He usually, however, corrects himse. But imagine if Joe Biden had said something half as insane about January 6.·

–

Trump loves to praise January 6 insurrectionists as “peaceful protesters.

But Donald kicked a man who called him a dictator out of his rally last night & would have had him locked up if he could. Velveeta Voldemort might be thinnest skinned man US has ever had in White House

–

Apparently Vladimir Putin now is questioning whether Russia should take back Alaska? Lisa Murkowski has a backbone, Dan Sullivan maybe. Would like to see either of them asked about this. And if they endorse Putin’s puppet?

–

Three years ago this weekend, Inauguration morning. Ready for repeat in 2025. Except Deb Fischeras new ranking member of the Senate Rules committee, will be walking next to Amy Klobuchar up the Capitol steps.

(And another call out to retired Senator Roy Blunt. Many Republicans would not have been so gracious in helping Biden’s inauguration happen. There were serious doubts between COVID and after January 6 as to whether it could happen publicly.)

The Eagles are grounded?

January 16, 2024

Philadelpha slogan “Fly Eagles Fly.”

Tonight they flew about as well as a Boeing Max 737-9.

–

Meanwhile, after a locals dug out the field and the seats, Buffalo Bills won handily in their rescheduled game, and will play the Kansas City Chiefs next week with game time temperatures expected to be in the 20s. Hope the players don’t overheat in that balmy weather.

–


Despite all these MAGAs upset about media attention with Taylor Swift dating Travis Kelce, all these Swifties suddenly tuning into football fans reminds me a bit when Tiger Woods burst on the scene… a whole new group of fans starting watching golf.

–

Remembering 2020 Iowa caucuses. One time I was especially impressed with Amy Klobuchar was, on shoe-string budget, while national media waited all night for final counts that never came, she took advantage of their boredom & called in; got free airtime to talk about her campaign.

Shame none of the media called her tonight. Klobuchar could have made it far more interesting with memories of 2020, or talking about Biden accomplishments, than what was apparently just nonstop rehashing of Iowa GOP primary voters doing exactly what the polls said they would do. 

–

Nikki Haley says “if it’s Trump-Biden rematch, it’s going to be another toss-up election, could go either way, we could have more disputes over election inference…” It wasn’t a toss-up election. Biden won pretty handily. But Nikki can’t say that for fear of upsetting Donald.

–

Steve Kornacki reports only 10% of GOP Iowa caucus voters say “ability to beat Joe Biden” is top factor in them voting…. Maybe because Trump supporters know he’ll declare victory no matter what the vote total, and try again with new and improved coup attempt.

–

Buried in Washington Post story about Donald Trump’s victory party in Des Moines – it was a cash bar. Well, of course it was.

–

Trump attacks Ramawamy two days ago ” A vote for Vivek s a vote for the ‘other side’ — don’t get duped by this. Vote for ‘TRUMP,’ don’t waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA.

Tonight Vivek Ramawamy suspends his 2024 bid and endorsed Trump. It’s. A. Cult.

–

WTAF? Trump tonight “We want to come together. whether it’s Republicans or Democrats or conservative, it would be so nice if we could come together & straighten out the world.”

(* Except of course for women, immigrants, LGTBQ & RINOS & media.)

If you’ve been there, or had parents go or friends go though it, you know, dementia is scary.

–

“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits.”

Dr. MLK Jr.

Today’s GOP is against ALL of that. Yes, even meals for children  .

Dropped passes

January 11, 2024

Aaron Rodgers was dropped from the Pat McAfee Show after his lies about Jimmy Kimmel and Jeffrey Epstein.

How long until Aaron is invited on with Sean Hannity on Fox, or Tucker Carlson’s Twitter/X show?

–

On the first day that Draymond Green returned to the Golden State sideline after his suspension, (though he did not play) the Warriors lost to the New Orleans Pelicans 141-105. 

Good thing Draymond wasn’t on the floor. For all his positive talk about making changes  This game was so bad could imagine a reasonable player commiting a flagrant 2 or swearing at a referee just to get himself out of there.

–

Meanwhile, in what might turn out of have been a battle for ping-pong balls, the now 6-30 San Antonio Spurs and Wemby dismantled the now 3-35 Detroit Pistons.

–

WTAF? Nancy Mace starts screaming “ARREST HIM” about white privilege with Hunter Biden because he showed up at their hearing & has responded to their subpoena by saying he only wants to testify publicly.

Uh. Hunter WANTS to testify. I missed Mace’s rant about arresting Gym Jordan

–

Nick Saban is a Democrat. He could take a couple years to recharge and then in 2026 run for Senate in Alabama. Better man and MUCH better coach than Tommy Tuberville.

–

Would love for Nick Saban to run for U.S. Senate. Does it mean I think he’s better than Doug Jones? No. But if celebrities get elected because of how much sports matters in some states, I’d rather have smart guy with good politics. Maybe Lebron James might run some day in Ohio?


Nothing Nikki Haley has said will upset Velveeta Voldemort as much as this phrase tonight “That election, Trump lost it. Biden won.”

–

CNN’s Manu Raku talking to GOP Freedom Caucus member who claims Biden is letting “illegals” in to get votes. No pushback. People who are not citizens, regardless of immigration status, cannot vote. Being objective journalist doesn’t mean letting complete lies go unchecked.

–

Chris Christie ias he suspended his campaign quoted Ben Franklin with the same line as Amy Klobuchar used in Senate speech on Jan 6 minutest before rioters broke in: “Our cause—despite our political differences—is to preserve our American democracy…because as someone once said ‘It’s a republic, if you can keep it.’”

–


Twelve Extreme MAGA Republicans including Marge Three Names tanked a procedural vote today to protest Mike Johnson’s spending deal with Chuck Schumer. You know who didn’t have these issues despite some extreme members and a razor thin majority? Nancy Pelosi.

If Chris Christie is serious about keeping Donald Trump out of White House here’s statement he could make. “I disagree with Joe Biden on many things, but he’s an honorable man who loves this country & democracy. If Trump is our nominee we should re-elect Biden & look ahead to 2028.”

Sore arm today after RSV shot. But also just heard about a client who had RSV turn into pneumonia and broke a rib from coughing.

I’ll happily continue to take every recommended vaccine in US. Including the next COVID booster when it shows up.

Happy Blue Year

January 2, 2024

Two red state universities and two blue state universities in the College Football Playoffs.

Two blue state teams now playing in next week’s National Championship. Maybe it’s a sign? .

–

So not only will an SEC team not be in the College Football Playoff, no incoming SEC team (which could have been Texas) will be in the College Football Playoff. So will the SEC just buy the Big Ten now?

–

Your reminder that Ron DeSantis put $1 million in the state budget for the state of Florida to sue the College Football Committee over leaving FSU out of the playoffs Sounds now like as good an investment as his Presidential campaign commercials.

–

Bad enough that many of us have no idea where some of these now all corporate-sponsored bowls are. But forget location, while it was a good game, guessing I’m not the only one that without Google didn’t know what “Reliaquest” is…

–

As Carolina lost 26-0 to Jacksonville on Sunday, Panthers owner David Tepper apparently threw a drink toward Jaguars fans from his luxury box. Presumably the drink too was intercepted.

Apparently MAGA Trump supporters are upset with Green Day changing the lyrics to American Idiot to criticize them on New Years Eve.

Were there any MAGAs actually who were Green Day fans before New Year’s Eve?

And if so did they actually listen to the lyrics? Who/what did they think American Idiot, released 20 years ago, was about ?

–

Donald Trump’s fundraising email attacks “power-drunk tyrants who believe they are entitled to permanent rule over the citizens of our country.” Remember, with Donald,, every accusation is a confession.

–

Lindsey Graham Jan, 2021. “Count me out, enough is enough.” Lindsey Graham, Dec 31, 2023. “On Jan 6, he was still president trying to find out if election was on up & up — I think his immunity claim is a legitimate claim.” What does Velveeta Voldemort have on Lindsey Graham?

–

As Velveeta Voldemort starts off another year lying about rigged and stolen elections, can more media people result to ask his GOP echo chamber, if the elections were rigged, how did Republicans win the House?

–

Why are so many so sure pro-Palestine protesters marching to Times Square, who’ve closed roads, bridges, airports, World Trade Center memorial etc are on the left? They’ve shut down MANY Democratic events – seems more than reasonable some are getting pro-Russia GOP chaos funding.

–

With rumors about Epstein’s lists coming out.

If Bill Clinton knowingly had sex with underage girls he should go to jail.

If Prince Andrew knowingly had sex with underage girls he should go to jail. I

If Donald Trump knowingly had sex with underage girls, he should go to jail.

See how easy that is?

Oh Canada?

December 5, 2023

Has it occurred to anyone that Shohei Ohtani might be considering signing with the Toronto Blue Jays because it would guarantee him, as an immigrant, to be able to live and work in a country where Donald Trump absolutely will not be President?

–

Georgia coach Kirby Smart whining too, saying as 1-loss team, Bulldogs should be in playoffs too. CFB committee should have both put FSU in playoffs, and told Georgia & Alabama to go play a game in Florida. Call it Mar-A-Lago Sore Loser Bowl, (Where actual results don’t matter.)

–

If Georgia had beaten Alabama and gotten into CFB playoff, would committee have still ranked Texas over FSU? Since then the SEC would have had their unwritten automatic bid…

–

Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence suffered an ankle injury and is out for an undeterminate amount of time.

So by CFB committee standards might that put the Jags out of the playoffs?

–

Vladimir Putin became President of Russia in 2000. By Russian law he was limited to 2 terms. Vlad was Prime Minister 2008-2012, got himself re-elected Pres in 2012 & now has changed law so he can stay until 2036. Follow the puppet master to see what his puppet Donald has planned.

–

Christian Ziegler admitted police he & his wife did have sex w/ woman who accused him of rape, but threesome was consensual. He also admited he filmed the encounter. Couple has 3 children, can’t imagine books mom bans from schools will be any more traumatizing than this story.

–

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum suspended his 2024 presidential campaign. Shocking. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum HAD a 2024 Presidential campaign?

–

NY Times headline “Why a Second Trump Presidency May Be More Radical Than His First.” “MAY?!!” Like Donald MAY be lying about being 6’3″ and 215 pounds.

–

Hell Freezes Over Alert -Washington Post headline saying a Republican is lying about the Bidens “Comer mischaracterizes Hunter Biden car payment reimbursement to his dad.” It’s a start.

–

Rachel Maddow has Liz Cheney on show. First several minutes are devoted to how much she & Liz are from different planets: “Opposing the Cheney family is a touchstone for me.” BUT: “In civic terms, our differences show how important it is to put us on same side of something.”

–

How can Democrats support Maddow having Liz Cheney on? Same as we supported Ted Kennedy making deals w/ Orrin Hatch on ADA, & should support Amy Klobuchar who has journalism bill w/ John Kennedy & AI bill w/ Josh Hawley. Etc. USA can’t survive with us all in our own corners.

Rats.

February 16, 2011

Larry, the newest member of the British Government.

Apparently British Prime Minister David Cameron has yielded to his children’s pleas, along with requests from his staff who have seen several large rats,  and adopted a “predatory” cat whose job it will be to rid his office of vermin.

President Obama just wishes there was a cat who had the the same potential with lobbyists.

–  

Donald Trump is burnishing his Conservative credentials in preparation for a possible 2012 run for the Presidency. Which include stating that he is against gay-marriage. Instead “The Donald” believes that marriage should be a sacred union between a man and a series of progressively younger women.

–

Donald Trump said that New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon wants him to buy part of the club but he declined. So let’s see, Trump is arrogant enough to think he can run for President and fix the United States, but not so arrogant as to think he can fix the Mets?.

–

After months of posturing from both sides Roger Goodell now says labor talks must accelerate to avert a strike. Sounds like the NFL is taking the same advance planning approach to a potential shutdown as the Cowboys did with those extra Super Bowl seats.

–

The St. Louis Cardinals have reportedly offered Albert Pujols $200 million for eight years, but Pujols may turn it down because it isn’t as high per year as A-Rod’s 10 year $275 million contract. So can someone explain to me exactly what you can buy with $275 million that you can’t buy with $200 million?

(Responded my friend, Jerry Perisho – “Kate Hudson.”  Although I think A-Rod only rented her.)

–

A recent survery of likely GOP primary voters in 2012 saids that 51% of them think President Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. 28 % think he was born here, 21 % aren’t sure. Maybe it’s time to change the song “God Bless America,” to “God Help America.”

–

Probable 2012 Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said Monday that for him the issue of abortion “transcends” all other pressing concerns facing the country.

–

While good people can disagree on choice, its amazing how many of those who believe banning abortion is the MOST important issue are financially secure men with healthcare and jobs.
