Checks and Balances

The beauty of this country, talking the United States of America...is that whomever is in the Presidency, there are checks and balances installed in the system of the government...so HE or SHE can't go astray and ask...or do something that isn't legal...and we have Congress to be our security...and I have to say, 'that we must TRUST the system'...enough said?...I think so...

A few weeks back, a US Pro golfer won a T in Mexico...Matt Kuchar, alias 'Kooooch'...his normal caddie couldn't make it, so he used a local caddie there, 'El Tucan'...ah, well all them golfer dudes have nicknames...David Ortiz...is his real name...there is a norm for pay for the guys who carry the pros bags, chart the course for 'em, and well, do most of the dirty work...10% of the winnings...Kooch just happened to WIN the T...over a million bucks...and, because, he had worked out a deal to pay El Tucan 3 grand for his work...he added 2,000 more and the caddie got a whopping $5 thousand!...instead of the 10%...word got out how Kooch stiffed El Tucan...and Matty made it worse saying that 'you know have far $5,000 goes in Mexico?'...alas, there was some very bad things going Kooch's ways...has since written an apology and is going to pay Ortiz, the $50 grand he is asking for...still, that isn't 10%...is this what we call an 'Ugly American?'...

Just an observation...there is this weeks' PGA stop in LaLa, at Riviera...and yes, we have been having rain...stop it!...Tiger is paired (why is it a pairing, when there are 3 blokes in the group?) with Rory and JT...and the latter two bomb it past Tiger...which just HAS to eat at Woods...just has to...yea, well, I know he is twice their age...but, c'mon, this it Tiger...

An extreme problem for having a leader that craves the bullying pulpit...is that there will be aides that want a job, are terrified of the boss, and yet, will LEAK anything out to the public they can...that being said, the word is...that HE wants THEM to find a way to get his funds for HIS WALL, by somehow, bypassing Congress...yea, that's another of those checks and balances...just behind the scenes...

Dang, there you go...I can't leave the orange ogre out for long...ah well, he is taking some time off, down in Florida...he (we) need a break...how about this stat...Trump has been at one of his golf clubs 169/224 days in office...gotta think somewhere...

'I didn't need to do this...'...a beauty of a quote by Trump...referring to his National Emergency, to get his funds for his Trump Wall...wait now, how does THAT qualify for an emergency?...how much NEED is there?...

As we near the Oscars, there is a burning question out there...that we all want to know the answer to...is Bradley Cooper going to sing with Lady Gaga (Stefani Germanotta)?...

The HOT hoops ticket in Oregon, is NOT the Blazer one...it's the lady Duck/Beavos!...sold out and a solid win for UO...they both are very good teams, kids...the guys Duck/Beavos is tonight in Corvallis...is it sold out?...

I am reading on this here Kirkland Vodka bottle, that the contents have been distilled SIX times...ah, how many should it be?...would it cost more if it were done SEVEN times?...

Hey, it is SUNNY out...what the heck?...

And that's the way it is, in the Horse World...thanks for peeking in on it...have a wondrous weekend...
