World Peace

Is this the end of "World Peace" as some of us know him?...what?...yup, this bloke, formally known as Ron Artest...committed an act of aggression in a game yesterday...let me set it up for you...
He plays for the Lakers...and has been on his best behavior for almost 2 seasons...changed his name this past year to...Metta World Peace...I am not lying...and due to the number of LA broadcasts here...I watch 'em lots...and find it way humorous listening to the announcers stumble over his new name...actually giving him the nickname "MWP"...ha ha...
Anyway, he reverted back to his evil ways...throwing a bone crushing elbow at the expense of a Oklahoma City Thunder (Supersonics) guy....it was vicious and malicious...and laid the player out for a minute or so, giving him a concussion...
So what is the league going to do?...it is a sticky situation for the Lakers...as they begin their playoff run next week...and he may be absent...
Are you kidding me?...he should be banned for a year...let's just see what happens...

OK, the bashing of the Padres is working...they have won 2 in a row...whupped the Phils 5-1 in the last game of the series...and now wait the hot Washington Nationals...really...who were the door mats of the league forever...and now get great pitching and are in line to be a playoff team....really?...and former SDSU stud, Stephen Strasburg, is their ace...and will not pitch here...as he is scheduled to face the Dodgers in their rotation...so a break, huh...but...the Pads suck...have to keep saying it to keep the streak alive...right?...right...

You watching the stock market?...geez, I have no clue...it is down this am....after a big rebound last Thursday and Friday...who is pushing all this?

Or former Veep candidate, John Edwards...is this a big deal?...fine the crap out of him...flush it and get on with more critical things...

Neil Diamond got married again...3rd time...you know, it's the charm...marriage?...c'mon Neil...why?

You remember the group, Wilson Phillips?...they got together again and released a CD of covers...by...their parents...kind of mellow, really...

I have not talked about Idol from last week...am a real fan of the double name guy...his rendition of the Wilson Pickett song was extraordinary...Phillip Phillips...

Kim K...what?...now, it's Kanye's turn...I'm sorry, but they are so smart to keep the press talking about them... famous because they are famous...so sad...

Fighting a cold...day quil, night quil, aspirin, water, 7 up, oj, rest and repeat...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
