Deficit

You know this guy?  Probably...he is the commissioner of the NBA...David Stern...and his business is going to lose $400 million this past season...over priced tix, over priced players, inequities in teams, length of season, length of games, unethical referees, bewildering rules, the list goes on and on...when a biz loses that type of $, changes are made to keep it alive...so what's going on?  Well...the playoffs are on now, and there is great interest there...but the series itself is way too long as I have said now for the last month...and isn't it just the same few teams every year?  Is there equity in the league?  Naw...the rich teams can afford the name players and the others suffer for it...think Oklahoma City (Seattle Supersonics) is going to win the championship with Kevin Durant?  Or  will he move on to the Celtics or Lakers, make a gaggle more $, and then, win it...
The fix...according to one article I read...change the shot clock to 20 seconds, no fouling out 'til the 8th foul, create a 4 point shot, shorten the season, enough of this crap...the answer is  a bit of what that says...the owners are very rich people...very rich...and for them to lose $, is like losing it in the stock market...they are not that worried...soooo, if you want change...to get the common man or woman to afford to get to the game...lower the tix price...duh...you're not going to get a shorter season...fugget about it...toughen up the rules...every technical should count as a personal foul...get the game more fast paced...maybe the shot clock lowering may work...make the dunk worth 3 points...well, fugget about all this...the rich owners don't want any of this...it'll just stay the same...it's just a drop in the bucket for them....
Did you watch the Belmont Stakes?  A mile and a half race of 3 year olds...
and a Bill Mott trained horse galloped off with the win...I told you to bet on Johnny V...well he came in 2nd...man, I do love the thrill of the big races...sure is a big difference when there is but 10 horses rather than 17 or so in the Derby...much fairer race...a little more than a month before Del Mar opens, and I am there...
Padres...ouch, getting scorched by a 47 year old pitcher...no excuses, just continued very poor hitting...alas, still hanging onto first...need a win...
Juran van der Sloot is living in very rough waters...
Can anyone catch the kid at the Memorial...especially after Jack Nicklaus made a statement that his swing has numerous faults...21 year old Rickie Fowler...3 shots up on the field...hey, I'm not gonna show his pix until he wins....cuz Jack knows all...Tiger is only 10 back...
Have a sunny Sunday...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
