Uncle

When do you toss it in?...I mean call "uncle"...as the sad state of affairs of Nigeria...just how did they qualify for the Olympics?...I'm talking guys hoops now...as the USA team scored 49 points in the first 10 minutes...what?...as they scored 78 in each half, on their way to 156 points... OMG!...UNCLE! If the Pads give up 6 runs in the 1st two innings you might as well go outside and fly a kite...rather than watch the rest of the 2 1/2 hours of frustration... I'm saying this Chik-Fil-A thing has gone way too far...but, Mr. CEO, you brought it on yourself... Tiger just isn't the same old Tiger...his short game has left...must be so hard on his psyche...and he is but one short chop away from a tantrum...been there.... The USA Today Top 25 (football) has just been released... the Ducks are number 5 ...most of the SEC is ranked...ha ha...LSU/Bama/USC, 1-2-3...the 4 team playoff doesn't start for 2 or 3 years...so...get your calculators out to foll...

Say what you will about the Chick-Fil-A debate that is going around the country this week...but it shows me an indicator on the strength of the conservatives...which appear to be led by the former Christian candidate, Mike Huckabee ...is he being looked at for the VP spot?...the issue itself is all about free speech, where the CEO of the fast food chain believes in the one man, one woman, marriage...and, of course, the others are appalled...and this is the battle ground...on the premises of the chicken place...to me, I see a very interesting 4 months of politics... I keep battering the coverage of the Olympics by NBC ...I have no idea when, where, or why the network is showing the games...isn't there a list somewhere?...like I said before, China is the main competition for the most medals with us, er, the US ...swimming....can you imagine the tracksters being able to run like 7 or 8 events like the poolers do...gal gymnastics were spectacular, right?...today, sometime, the...

WW 2 Attacks

Image
Once in a great while I stumble across something I knew nothing about...I studied through the WW 2 stuff and only heard that the battles were battled over there...I mean outside of Hawaii...which was not our state back then... I have been watching this PBS series on "The War"...and it was stated that there were subs (U boats) off our east coast and the Germans were sinking our ships willy nilly...I mean just off our coast...and documentation had them right in the NY harbor...time was right after Pearl Harbor, December, 1941... So much so, that a total of over 650 ships were sunk...early on, up and down the Atlantic...then later, the Germans went into the Gulf of Mexico....and roamed just outside the mouth of the Mississippi...and it was like that for almost a full year... And on the west coast, the Japanese were doing the same...not the same numbers...but still very effective...which led me to the only land attack on the US, up in Astoria, Oregon...WELL...there was also an...

And go figure that the Pads can go into Cincinnati and break up their 10 game win streak ...albeit the bulk of their wins were against two of the worst teams in the league, the Astros and the Rockies...as SD put an 11 spot up...including that is the oh so hot, 1B Yander Alonso , who bagged 3 doubles...and the tuff , LF Carlos Quentin , who homered...on the bad side, the other Cuban sensation, C Yasmani Grandal , went down with a strain to his oblique muscle...boo...and... who's talking about the injured guys, Kyle Blanks and Jason Bartlett ...I bet that the C Nick Huntley comes off the AAA DL to replace Grandal today...and finally, did you see the 4 guys we got for Matt Latos , all played in the game?...cool stuff....good trade for each team... I'm thinking the vagabond trip of your guy Mitt , is not the best it could be...his facts and figures on the comparison of Israel to the Palestinians...not so good...and his right hand man, telling a reporter to shove it...we...

I am aghast that there is any air time for the most disliked former VP by this blogger... Dick Cheney ...there is no bigger _ick than him...you fill in the blank...as he talks about his thoughts...the worst statement was that he wouldn't change any thing he did...amongst his many garbage things was supporting the ban of gay marriage...as his daughter was just that...and she finally got married to her partner of many years....and he still agreed with the ban...I'm not sure if I said that right...think back to the Iraq invasion that he helped mastermind...hey, if he thinks that Prez O is as bad as Jimmy Carter, well he has that right to say it... just like I do in saying he is the worst VP of all time... So much for me being impartial...ha ha...never... now for more important things... Big Brother ...not the eye in the sky watching our every move...but the CBS mindless summer show...as the producers just wing it on a daily basis...we don't miss it as it is what it is......

I'm going to tell you that LeBron James is now the best player in the world ...reminds me so much of Magic Johnson...as he matures...got through watching the USA/France game from London...right, London?...I am amazed how Coach K gets these guys to play D...in a NBA land of no defense...forgot how good players of that caliber can get after it when they want to...or are driven to do so... The pundits spend more time bashing the swimmer that loses than praising the guy who wins...c'mon guys and gals... 2 days left for the deadline of the MLB trading season. ..and the news is a popping about Chase Headley and the Yankees...nothing happening thus far...can I say two ings in a row?...isn't there a rule against that in our language?...I digress... SD has their best 3B prospect in AAA...and they want to bring him up so bad...or so it seems... Your guy, Mitt , is overseas campaigning...what?...where is he trying to get votes?...I just wonder who advises him on that...an...
