The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

It wouldn't be right if I didn't rant right before Christmas, now would it...and there are a lot of things that may need mentioning...like the Republicans in the House who begrudgingly passed the tax break for all Americans so they could go home for the Holiday...or wait, their speaker has it done, yet they haven't done so...or the K family that continues to flood the market with such deplorable items that you have to say "I can't take it anymore"...or anymore lip syncing pseudo Xmas songs by your fav, Justin Bieber...or the over the top, ridiculous production of the X Factor...or Newt or Mitt or Perry or Michelle or Ronnie...naw, I must stay in the field of football...the Maaco Bowl in Las Vegas...

The Good...the Boise State Broncos...ranked 7th in the last BSBCS poll...yet are delegated to the awful Maaco Bowl at Sam Boyd Stadium in LV...sporting a 13-1 record...and arguably the top QB in the land, Kellen Moore...his stats over his 4 years are awesome...and they win big games...albeit, the Ducks twice...which gets my nod for sure...just ask most of the Pac -12 how well they do on that issue...lambasted their opponent, ASU, 56-24...in the lopsided mess of a football game...

The Bad...the BSBCS...as the Bowl Football Association makes a mockery of the collegiate game...if you want a large charge, go onto their website and look at the propaganda they put out...as most colleges LOSE money in these 35 bowl games...the coaches do not...oops, but true...almost all the bosses have a monetary clause (Santa?)  in their contracts if they qualify for one of these bowls...and it is tiered...the bigger the bowl, the more cash they get...and, don't get me into the "donations to charity" crap...HBO did an expose on that and it's deplorable...oh, by the way, the other winner is....drum roll please...ESPN...and that's where the money is...but the schools don't get that...boooooooooooooooo....

The Ugly...the mess at Arizona State University...so the football team isn't winning enough...hey, they got a nod for the Maaco, didn't they?...so it was a mere 6-7 record...but, like BSU, got $1.1 mill...before they have to minus all the expenses...wait, that $ goes to the conferences...oh well...let's get back to the program...they feel that Dennis Erickson wasn't the savior...geez, he was heralded as that a few years back...and they hire this bloke that has been at 4 schools in the last 6 years...who philosophizes honor, integrity, and loyalty to the school he is at...just ask Pitt how that went in his one year there at the helm...I digress...selfishly I want them to stay bad, as this helps the Ducks out...no problem...this program is spiraling down, down, down...

And don't hate me...but the temp is rising to 74* for Christmas here...

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...
