Twenty Eight
Still reading the book about LBJ and McNamara...it is very detailed and difficult to read, I must say...however, I am now in the absurd part of the 'escalation' of the war...so contrived and dictated by Johnson, that it infuriates me to peer at the details of it all....regardless of your stance on it, the blueprint of the waste of mankind, is devastating...my fear of the present US leader, too...
I am sickened by the lack of response by Trump with the recent passing of Senator McCain...probably the biggest example is in the White House, as he was asked by a reporter, "do you think that John McCain was a hero?"...Trump stared straight ahead and did his Mussolini impression...and said nothing...what have we got ourselves in to?...
More Donny...as he has accused of Google of rigging their search engine of him...that if you do, you get negative things and images of Trump...at least he has a follower in Tiger, who says you must honor the position...listen, it is very scary to have an insecure person in Tiger's position of admiration...
You recall the infamous Trump line in his campaign, 'draining the swamp?'....ah, guess what Donny...it IS happening....except, it is YOURS!...
OK, here we go...Trump has announced a Mexico Trade Accord...a revision of the '93 one we had with them....basically has to do with car making...that allows that most of the parts are to be made within the US or Mexico...for a minimum of $16 an hour...hmmm, the Mexicans had been getting $3.50 an hour....well, it keeps the Asian market at bay...maybe, even the Canadians...that also means that the cost of a car, will go up, too...it's a six year deal, that will be in for long after Donny leaves office...oh yea, and how about that damn wall?...is Mexico going to pay for it, as Trump continually said at his rallies?....and finally, this 'Accord' has to be done quickly, as Mexico is changing their Prez on December 1...what you think, roses or dandelions for Donny?...Other...
The Country Music Association has announced their new award nominations for this year...and again, they befuddle me...two of the leaders, are two who can't sang a lick...Chris Stapleton and Miranda Lambert....and they WIN, too...I guess the membership must be real old school...something...but, certainly, NOT RELEVANT!...
College football...the new regime in Oregon gets going this Saturday in Eugene...hosting Bowling Green...who has a wide open passing attack, so it is said...the line is 31 1/2...and now has been dropped to 28 1/2...hmmm...the SDSU Aztecs are traveling to Palo Alto to play Stanford (14 1/2)...no idea...UCLA (Chip Kelly) suspended 6 players for the 1st game...any starters?...USC is going with a Frosh QB...Ohio St HC Urban Meyer, is suspended himself for the first 3 games....numero uno, the Buckeyes are entertaining the Beavers of OSU (38 1/2)...wooah...
Sure, the Padres have decided to bring up one of their infamous 'prospects'...21 yr old 2B, Luis Arias, yea, that'll save the season, AJ...how do you spell S-H-A-M?....
Yes, I admit it...today I have been negative and cynical...I need some FOOD!...
Maybe the trip to Maui...yea, that's it...very soon...
