CRAZY HORSE

As we were at Rocky Bottom eating last night our waiter, no more than 23 years of age, said we are sure losing all the legends this summer...he was talking about Walter Cronkite ...surprised me that he even knew who he was...Walter Cronkite WAS THE NEWS when I was growing up...from the JFK assassination , to the Viet Nam war , to the Nixon debacle , to the Shuttle break up , and on and on...he was the one we listened and watched on CBS ... Speaking of legends, can you believe Tom Watson is leading the British ? He is continuing on his masterful ways and at 59 who'd a thunk it...even though he's won it 5 times and the Senior Brit 3 times...still! Turn your eyes away, they are hideous...the Padres. .. American Idol tonight at the Sports Arena...really looking forward to it... Next week DelMar !!!! Is it just me, but isn't there an abundant amount of deaths on cruise ships? It's been unseasonably hot around here...95* inland and 85* around here...we ate breakfast a...

The unthinkable has happened. The lock, according to me, missed the CUT . Tiger looked like a normal guy and actually finished 5 over par for his 2 rounds at the British Open . The pundits have had a field day in giving the end of the world stuff because this happened. Fact is he just got whupped...he'll be back real soon... Saturday is the date for AI ... Have you seen the commercial where the kids are streaking to the fast food restaurant at the end of the school year...and so are the teachers? Brings back fond memories...we all needed a break... A horse with no name has changed to whatever MJ wanted it to... Did you see the Padres score last night? That was after a 4 day furlough... OMG ! As Sotomayor has said so eloquently , " I didn't rule on that, I think ..." She's been briefed to not answer ANYTHING ! A week to go to DelMar ! Pick me up buttercup ... sung by ?

So the American Idol Tour , Season 8, is coming to the San Diego Sports Arena tomorrow night...and you got it, we are there...have to admit that the little woman really likes Adam and it is a must see... Where oh where is Tiger' s name on the leader board at the Open? I do see someone named Watson up there? Is that the butler? I don't get the gangland slaying of the Florida couple...is there more to the story? Did you see the fiery Pepsi commercial that led MJ to his pain addiction pills? Why is it now released 25 years later? So the Supreme Court judge nominee doesn't have to answer any questions 'cuz the democrats already have the number advantage? By the way, did you see where the Cowboy' s QB dumped Jessica Simpson ? I suppose he had to talk to her sometime... Jewel is coming to Humphrey 's on Sunday eve and I'm debating...that means I'd be going to 3 straight nights of shows... Paul McCartney played above a rooftop in NYC yesterday and l...

Have you had the stomach to watch any of the Sotomayor grilling by the elected officials of our great land? Just a short time ago it was the Democrats that tried to unearth some skeletons on a Supreme Court nominee...now that task is up to the Republicans...I find it appalling the way it is handled...by either party...I ask myself, why would you want the job anyway? Look at the good Republican from NC and say, " Sir, you may go to Hell !" Speaking of Heath Bell , he gave up the winning run as the American League continued it's 13 year win streak in MLB's All-Star game...Heath is one of our bright spots and it's too bad... Does anybody really care about the Tour De France ? It is the most steroid infested sport of them all... Where the Surf meets the Turf kicks off on the 22nd and I am debating about opening day or the day after... The British Open is tomorrow and Tiger is going to win in a slam dunk...bet on it! How can any business who has had government ...

The Bachelorette Jillian sure has had her struggles with the guys she has chosen...not exactly sure what's not up with Ed , but have an idea...I just don't think she is that enamored with Kipton ...interesting TV... The MLB home run derby had it's moments, but clearly Prince Fielder (Brewers) came loaded and ready to shoot... AGonzo was not on his game... For you deep thinkers...the government is looking at the contracts that Native Americans have with military bases to keep the bases running...there are those out there that think there is not enough free enterprise for those non-Natives...can you say LOBBYISTS at work! The British Open is this week and if you are a betting person...fuggitabout it... Tiger in a walk... Do you chug an energy drink ? It's a jolt of caffeine... Why when I putt well I don't drive well? 95* in El Cajon yesterday and it was a tough walking day... As expected the LPGA commish resigned as the Ladies have lost 7 events... The ML...

An updated list of...YOU'RE FIRED! Sarah Pahlin ...for leaving the good people of Alaska out in the cold... MJ's Doctors ...for leaving HIM cold... Padres GM, Kevin Towers ...for leaving the team in shambles... LPGA officials ...who allowed Cristie Kerr to be 2 holes behind and not penalize her for SLOW play... Big Brother producers. ..for bringing back the high school clique theory... Bruno ...is it just me or is this gross? Dottie Pepper. ..for waiving the US flag as the Korean and Taiwan gals overtook the US gals in the Open... BCS ...for refusing to have a D-1 playoff in the NCAA College football... And you say ?...

Mandlebaum. ..So this whole life I've seen the effects of being better than someone else...like, real, inherited, earned, or implied... The NAACP is gathering in NY and my images of the life that blacks led forever in this country comes out loud and clear...as I remember my trip to inner Florida in the late 60's and seeing the white only signs.... Or one of my teaching friends telling me that we wouldn't be speaking to one another if we were back in his area in Nebraska, as Native Americans were shunned by his people... The audacity of people wondering if you are " christian " or not, as if that makes you better or worse than someone else... What you inherited monetarily in your life...like you think life is different if you are a Kennedy or a Hilton ?... If you wear a burka you are immediately thought to be a person of question... That if you are Dick Cheney there are laws that as a VP of the USA you can change and do as you feel to other humans... Because ...
