Irony

Write about it...and then, unbeknown to me...watch it in action...albeit a fictional tale...on Netflix ... The House of Cards ... strong arming...lobbyism...lying...cheating...deep throating (!)...snorting...drinking...revenge...what's not to like? ...well, Marsh doesn't dig it...me?...it's a fun time...I have a lot to catch up on... Kevin Spacey is dang good... Lordy!... we had the storm of storms ...high winds...like funnel type...wild sheets of water...the only time I have seen the like down here... a story on the news, where a long time bloke, said it was the only occurrence for 50 years ...we had a broken outside lamp...one of our neighbors, had his glass table top pulled up and shattered...see, PNWers, we have weather, too...I canceled my golf today...as it is said to have one more blast go through around noon... Saw the bloody Ducks near disaster the other nite at UCLA...they found a way to equate themselves to a team that was sitting their two top players for...

Lobbyism

Image
Nothing makes me blood boil more than the system of undue influence that is allowed in this "free" country of ours ...the trail of tears is locked into the path of the money used to coerce a vote out of OUR elected officials...OK, you may call me names, but go ahead.... DISAGREE with me...this idea of "buying a vote" has been going on long before you or I have inhabited this earth...so you think that I am just generalizing the problem...I got locked into an argument about this about 5 years ago with one of Marsha's broker bosses...and his reply was to get into it....that was the way this whole thing works...that if you want change, be a part of it first...interesting...sell yourself out... No better example than what has been going on in DC right now...the TV cable company Comcast wishing to buy out another (Time Warner) and become a mega giant in the industry ...of course, to get the votes (lawmakers and regulators) to allow the procedure, they call upon th...

This could be the worst of all ... American Idol finalists...13...and I rated each of the performances...from 1 to 10...1 being bad...and get this...I had 3 acts of the lowest of all ratings...yup, that awful...a 7, two 6's, two 5's, and the rest...well perfectly miserable...any of these kids worthy of the likes of Carrie or Kelly?...far from it...and we are highly debating even watching the rest...seriously...like I have said before, there is a bunch of these type of shows and the talent pool seems to be drying up... The Bachelor ...oh my...he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer...and the gal attorney, she is way too smart for this bloke...and walked away ...and when she was telling him why, he was dumbfounded...er, dumb....as she said, "he doesn't get it"....ha ha...he will go for the nurse...and the other one will go on a terror streak...something tells me that nothing is going to work out...no lurve everlasting...by the way, all the leaks are that the...

Homophobia

Just when you thought you have seen it all...I was flipping through the channels and landed on CNN...and watched an interchange between host Anderson Cooper and a state senator out of Arizona...wait a minute, I know you know where this is going...as this bloke, Al Melvin , is a supporter of a gay bill...which allows the non-serving of said people, due to religious beliefs...what?...I can't make this up...so paraphrasing...with a twist...if you are a conservative, somehow you think that it's your right to refuse to deal with gay peops...right?...anyway, Anderson gave him the Q of what would you do if the situation came up...big Al wouldn't answer...claiming that Anderson was trying to trick him...is this wrong in every way?... The Knicks lost a game to the Mavs...not that this is that earth shaking...but...the crowd in NY was really into it...what?...they are one of the bottom teams out there...but every game is a new one...in the City...which, in fact, is real cool......

Parity

This is more about the match than the winner...and the longevity of it...took 22 holes to get a winner....in Tucson... PGA Match Play ...as Jason Day finally got the W...and secured his spot as a favorite for the season...to be THE GUY ...pat myself on the back...as Crazy Horse did this back a bit...but...my passion and tribute goes to the guy who lost... Frenchman Victor Dubuisson ... who made so many miraculous shots that it was hard to say which was the best...showing a marvelous short game...and is but 23 years of age ...this is a sport that it takes a bit more maturity to win the big events... The Winter O's came to a close last eve...outside of the hockey games, I am not interested...sorry you extreme patriots...it's just not my thang... The Blazers ...with Aldridge still sitting...the new guy in his place is a player...like a defender and rebounder... Thomas Robinson ...had like 17 boards and an ESPN feature block ...STILL...if they don't hedge the screens t...

You think that D-1 hoops isn't full of pressure? ...think again...as a donnybrook of a game was going on between the top ranked (former) Syracuse Orange (real clever) and the Duke Blue Devils ...at the Duke court...where they are known for the Cameron Crazies...out of control, yet, in unison student body ...a humongous home court advantage...and forge t the coaches of the teams are the most decorated of all still in the game...and forget that the game is down to the last 11 seconds...and forget that the Orange is driving to the hoop to tie up the game...and forget that the ball went into the hoop...and forget that the biggest flopping team in the entire nation is Duke ...but do remember this... the ref had a game ending block/charge call to make ...do remember where the game is...the ref called a charge, and thus, negated the hoop...and then...mister, calm, cool, collected, Orange Coach, Jim Boeheim , went absolutely ballistic! ...ah memories...runs out on the court......
