Valentine's Day...Weekend

Image
There are some of these dates that are just plain cool... Valentine's Day is one of them...the sentiment is right...the colors, are too...that is, if you have a mate...I think back...ha ha...way back...when one would send the cards...and to no avail, many got none...well, me for one...back in school...I shoulda sent one to myself...I digress...time has marched on...make sure you do something...something... Cuz us guys have been sick...like prolonged... it will be great to just feel great...again, right? ...a dinner will be in the offing...nothing better than an Italian one...dinner that is...oops... Did you catch last night's American idol? ...the first set of 12 sang with some old Idol stars of the past...cool in a way...but did show that the present wannabes have a long way to go...Reuben was spot on...anyway...the trio of judges eliminated 5 of 'em...questioned only one...the real cowgirl...oh well...next week is the other set of 12...doing the same gig... The D...

Hidden Trick

So, my good friends...you put your mark on your person for the next President of the US...and in good conscience feel that you have done your duty to figure out the best one for the job...our leader...your vote counts as much as the person next to you...the results are binding...you either are euphoric or are left scratching your head... Wait a minute ...behind the scenes there is another thing brewing...a little know tidbit that the parties know, that maybe you don't...it is called the Super Delegate ...put in place, just in case...that...YOU...the common man or woman...screwed up...SCREWED UP!...and chose the wrong candidate...what?... Roughly a sixth of all delegates in the Demos are these types...party leaders, governors, US Senators, US Reps, and the bulk of the rest, elected members of the DNC... 4,736 of them...put in place just in case...that YOU didn't get the right one... already, there is a high % that have selected Hillary as their choice...you got that ri...

Brace Yourselves

If you are part of the establishment...by that, I mean a die in the woods Demo, or a Bible toting Repub, you just may have to BRACE YOURSELVES for a long, tuff, and confusing ride...along the Prez trail throughout these US States...as the New Hampshirites (?) voted strongly for the newbies... the polls WERE RIGHT! ...so, at least you had an inkling of what was to come... Bernie Sanders walloped Hillary ...like over 21% mas...I know, you can tell me that is cuz he is from a neighboring state and all....he did a marvelous job of getting the youngsters out to cast a ballot...sure...and then you can say that Madaline Albright called for the peops to come to their senses...encouraging women to vote women ...how did that work out?...Bernie got 12 % more of the women vote...kids, we may just have a revolution on our hands... Donald Trump clearly dominated the Repubs ...doubling up the nearest guy...a surprise in Kasich...did NOT see that coming...the last week euphoric winner, Rafael...

Election Day, Part Deux

Image
Number 2 ...the 2nd state, making their votes count...as all eyes are on New Hampshire ...just what the people will say...done, is the relentless pundit gab about who said this...who said that...and so on...for moi, it's how accurate the polls really are...as the Demos and Repub ones, are saying that it will be a big day for Bern and the Donald ...if not, we can say that these polls are worthless...as they say, that's why we play the games...wait...I mean, that's why we vote... Of course, the important thing for all Demos ...is the number of people who actually do... VOTE ...should be the mantra for the entire election season...probably more so than anything else...if the common man and woman does so, this will be a very close selection year...if not, it will be the change of the guard, and the Repubs will get their person in... Since we have been sickly, and have had guests...poor them...I have had little time to write...in my recovery, I will do more...let's ...

And so it goes, Marco ...you get ripped apart by Chris Christie ...which leads to the highlight of the Repub debate last eve...so...let's see how this affects the actual vote on Tuesday...as Rubio was "polled" to have past Rafael "Ted" Cruz...let's let it ride it out...and see where it goes... Bernie has like a 30 point lead on Hilz ...really?...just seems like too much to me...I'm gonna be just like you all...wait and see...then off they go to Nevada...talk about contrasts... Watched the last Q of the Thunder / Warrior game...two of the top 4 teams...so says me...with OKC having a duo of great players...gave all GS that they wanted...alas, Curry and Co. prevailed ...and are now 46-4...who does that?...lordy, they are fun to watch... The Soprano Open ...in Phoenix...where 200,000 spectators turn up...A DAY!...high drama in the desert...Lefty got it going a bit...so is Rickey...right now, it's Danny Lee's to lose... Of course the da...
