The Capital Journal...ah


Back in the day...there was this afternoon paper in the grand city of Salem, Orygun
...called the Capital Journal...imagine having 2 newspapers in a relatively small town....one in the am, and one in the pm...of course, this is prior to all the web crap out there...and cell phones and 24 hours news on the pixels...I could go on...my point?...you are getting the afternoon edition of the Horse...yes, way early tee time...

In these times of multi million, multi year contracts in pro football...a weird phenomena has come about...those who get beat up the most...are getting the least...what?...used to be the QB...but now, they are greatly protected...who is next?...the running backs...and for some reason, the owners tag them as a dime a dozen...as many of the franchises are going more to the passing attack...and good luck to the RB's...who still get pounded to near death...RESULT?...they get the least $ of all the dudes who play...money, cash, dinero, pesos, quid...euros...whatever...it ain't right, the Horse says...

As the era of tremendous singers...is going bye bye...the death of one of the legends...Tony Bennett, at the age of 96....'I Left My Heart in San Francisco'...the best of the best...he released like 70 albums...and many many hits, over many decades...a true star of the field...

Many of youse are in pools...of wagering who might win the Open...how many of you have Brian Harman?...a USA guy, that is 5 up after 2 rounds...wowser...not a long hitter, but has a crazy good short game...

Uh oh, the trumpsters are in a tizz...as the trial that awaits him is now set for May....too bad, dude...it was not set for after the election after all...can he still fire the judge he appointed?...

You gonna watch the gals play tonight in the World Cup?...the Horse plans on seeing some of it...soccer is not my bag, but I do like to watch this team...against Vietnam...prediction?...3-nil...

It's kinda early, but I have one bloke who I don't like...ever since he addressed the current crop of Colorado football guys...the ones that were still there...telling them to pack their bags...Deion Sanders...I wish him the worst luck possible...and can hardly wait for the Duck game with his vagabond crew...kick their arse!...well, his...

At least there is some interest in the flicks...a big opening weekend for 2...'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer'...no, we will not go...wait until they hit the small screen...'Barbie'?...probably not...'Oppenheimer'?...definitely...

I can't find the answer to this...since trump started running for Prez, how many lawyers have worked for him?...how many have left?...how many has he fired?...how many are still with him?...and finally, how many has he NOT PAID?...

For your memory bank...Dick Cavett...television host of the 60's and 70's...had a favorite thing he would ask his guests...'what book have you been reading?'...the highlight was when he asked that Q to Sly of the Family Stone...who was high as a kite...who reversed it, and it could have not been funnier...

The former 'Redskins' of Washington...the NFL team that was owned by the hated Dan Snyder...who was forced to rename the team...to the 'Commodores'...have been sold...and the new group will probably rename the squad and change the colors...there you go...

We did go down to the Gaslamp to watch the crazies at ComicCon...last eve...ordered 18 wings...man, who can eat 18 of them?...not us...there are a lot of peops who just love dressing themselves up in comic wear...the last comic I can recall was Beetle Bailey...and I saw NO ONE dressed as him...

Have a terrific nite, kids...

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...
