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.
