Stuffy Golf

Back in '98 there was this fledgling golf pro from Stanford...no, not Tiger...that had this debilitating injury that made him use a gulp...golf cart!...to compete with the rest of the blokes on the PGA Tour...well now, it became a huge deal to the purists...like even the legend, Jack Nicklaus...to say "no!", he has to walk like everyone else... and yet his leg injury was beyond the occasional thing...this issue went all the way to the Supreme Court!...yup, who ended up giving that pro the right to use the cart...

As time wore on, so did his leg...and so did his game...bounced around a bit, ie. the Nationwide Tour...then he quit competitive golf altogether...ended up as the golf coach at the University of Oregon...where he is to this day...AND...he went out and tried to qualify for the US Open...and MADE IT!...and now, all the rumble about the golf cart garbage resurfaced...and the Golf Channel debated it...again...and one of the hosts actually said it was an advantage...boo...

This story is about Casey Martin...and it's a good one...I think it's good...

Where is Kooz?...I mean Kevin Kouzmanoff...the elite 3B of the Pads when we first got here...he also has bounced around since...traded a couple of times and now is property of the Kansas City Royals...sounds crappy, huh...property of...anyway, he is now playing in AAA baseball in Omaha...and starts everyday...and get this, has zero home runs!...what?....their nickname is kind of cool..."the Storm Chasers"...

Speaking of them Pads...they travel to Seattle and again...are prohibitive underdogs...especially tonight...as the human punching bag, Richards the pitcher, will probably get ripped again...his ERA is becoming legendarily bad....but, the real issue is, can SD score some runs?...


You following the stock market?...geez....

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...
