Statues

Immortalized...somewhere in time, the powers to be, figured out the way to remember someone...or someones...forever...is to make a STATUE of them...plop it on public property, probably in a city park...or so...maybe at a college or university...for many, the gravesite marker may suffice...but the deciders, need more of a recognition site...fuggit about the cost, the idealism is the key factor...

This procedure, what else would one call it?...has been shelved for some time...well, there are some that are erected in sports still...I think of the Tony Gwynn over at Petco Park, but the mass of 'em were way back when...some political blokes, have their own busts made and displayed all over their countries...how'd that work out for Sadam?...

What was deemed important for some areas, like in the South of our country...the Civil War leaders...have had their statues removed...as time has moved on, and the meaning of the 'immortalized' people, has been resurrected...they are no longer worthy...I guess...

You roam your own area, and notice them?...I see them over at the Balboa Park...here in SD...saw lots of them in Nashville...do you take the time, to see who and why they are there?...I think that there has to be controversy for some, regardless of who is bronzed...

So we have a brand NEW high rise built here in the Marina District...and in front of it, is a bizarre STATUE on their grounds...some might call it that, or some may call it obtrusive...what say you?

Geez, how about chiseling out faces of 'important' people on a mountain?...how do you remove that?...blow it up?...it's history, kids...HISTORY!...a reminder of what had happened...in our past...like it or not...it's the path that was established...I'm the one that says, to leave them be...use them as reminders...where we were...

The lovable Pads won the series in Pitt...get this...this version of the Padres, are sporting a 0-24 loss mark, when behind after the 8th inning...which means we haven't EVER made a come from behind win...this season...make that 1 fer 25 now...scored a bunch in the 9th, using small ball (bunts, and stealing bases) for the UNUSUAL victory...that's 5 out of the last 6, WINS...

What was that Rocket's effort last night in Alameda?...just awful in a 41 point shellacking...Steve Kerr's plan of isolating the Beard on defense was masterful...he flailed at whomever he was 'guarding'...turned out to be a joke...speaking of jokes...the TNT 'analyst', Chas Barkley, continues his rant on the Warriors DGreen...give it up, Charles...

American Idol...the final singing nite was Sunday...the 3 left, did 3 songs...one was the 'single' picked out for 'em...all fuggitable songs...sorry, kids, but true...then they could do, stuff they wanted to do...listen, I never get how the voting goes, other than it sure seems to favor the guys with guitars...to me, the contestant that has the best shot at making it, in a very difficult biz, is Gabby...will she win this?...I have no clue...

I can't believe this...but I can't find anything worth mentioning about POTUS today...

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...
