Well Educated....But Still...Stupid

What a moron...By now everyone has seen the videos of this idiots' latest rants.  He has insulted an institution ...Notre Dame.   A religion....Catholics.   And an entire section of America...the SEC.

Funny thing...he will still have his job.   As embarrassing as he has been to Ohio State,  there really is nothing that can be done to remove him...legally.

Wow,  this doesn't happen often....this is courtesy of ....Fox News:

Ohio State president reprimanded for 'damn Catholics' remark

Verbal gaffes by Ohio State University president Gordon Gee have long been a source of amusement and headaches at the school, whether he was calling the state governor a "dummy" two...

Fox News...Misses the Point...Again!

We don't watch Fox News.  But...we have friends and informers that do.  And once again the talking stiffs at Fox were the same old right wing republican spokespersons blaming the left and the democrats for this Rutgers coach getting fired...for being quite stupid.

Leave it to our guy Jon Stewart to set the record straight:

Things ....We Learned......From the Week-end

Super Bowl XLV......is history.

The National Anthem was butchered.......but sung with heart.

The Half -time show......was entertaining and high tech.

The commercials?   Some were cute.  Some were funny.....But the price tag?  No company got their money's worth.


Winners?  Obviously the Green Bay Packers....

Losers?   No one lost.....The Pittsburgh Steelers  played a hell of a game.

And for us fans?


We will now go through withdrawal pains......until the fall....No more football!

From the week-end......things we learned:


This bowl didn't get.....near the coverage we demanded:

Enough Headlines........

Here's some thoughts.....we think....we think:

Been a helluva two weeks.....tragedy......untimely deaths.....just plain....rough...

The baseball season.......goes on ....and on.......and on .....and on.....

I have given up on my garden this year. My watermelons are the size of grapes........

We are in the "dog days" of summer......Hazy, hot, and humid.......

I really need to mow this lawn ........soon.....

But........it's .....too darn hot.....and dry...

Have a great........"Hump Day"!!

Things.....Learned.......From the Week-end...that ...Was

A day late....but here goes.......

Nothing can get any better.......than a Father-Daughter and husband- wife .......relationship...on...Fathers' Day. My Daughter........and My Mother........took me and my Daddy out to dinner....on Fathers' Day. And to make it complete.....her husband came along also. I ......so love .....my family.

So .....Tiger.......did not win the U S Open?

The Hangover........the movie ......is very good.....I hear....Haven't seen it yet....waiting....

It was so hot today..........I saw two trees.......fighting over a dog.

The Atlanta Braves........are no more...no less....than a .500 team...

The 1st hurricane of the year? Andreas..........who?

Iran........is acting like....Iran.....it's been happening for a thousand years........

Fox News.......Still ........"Obama hatin'"..........and proud of it....

Twitter? Still don't get it.....Do you really care....what I'm doing.....at 9 am? And .....why do you continue to "follow" me?

Face Book..........I'm trying.....But ....even there.....I've had to "mute" a few folks.......

I lead.....a simple life......not much drama.....I like who I am......

The Hangover...........got to see that movie!

With no "Dream Team".......O J ........goes to Jail

From Fox News.....

O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to at least 15 years in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping in a failed attempt to recover sports memorabilia from two collectibles dealers.

There will be the possibility of parole after six years, Judge Jackie Glass said.

His co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart received the same sentence.

Before the judge handed down his sentence, Simpson apologized to her and the Las Vegas court after learning he won't be able to be freed on bail if he appeals.

Simpson appeared at the hearing in a blue prison jumpsuit, shackles and handcuffs.

It was as if O.J. was looking and waiting.....

For Johnnie Cochran to come running into the court room with a last ditch effort to keep him out of jail.

It didn't happen.......For one, Mr. Cochran (God rest his soul) is dead......And this was Las Vegas.......not Los Angeles.

We all knew Simpson was guilty of two counts of murder back in 1994........but he and his "Dream Team" of lawyers beat the system that for generations had beaten the black man.

This case was different..........No Court TV........No fan fare........just the law versus the evidence versus the defense. And the defense lost.

Let's hope Mr. Simpson ceases to make any more headlines and lives a peaceful and quiet life in that gray-bar hotel.

Desperate Times....Lead to Desperate Acts...

Desperation among republicans?????

We did warn our readers that these last two weeks before the presidential election would be indeed interesting.....

Well........it has turned to the.....bizaarre.....and then some.

Thanks to Jason Cherkis of the "Washington City Paper".....we give you this:

McCain Camp Has Its Own Tawana Brawley

Posted by Jason Cherkis on Oct. 24, 2008, at 2:32 pm

OK. The headline was a little harsh. Via TPM:

“By now you’ve all heard about Ashley Todd, the 20-year-old McCain volunteer who claimed that she was assaulted in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night by an attacker who scratched a ‘B’ in her cheek after learning that she was for McCain.

The story was flacked madly last night by Drudge, even though few if any details had been established or independently confirmed.”

Well. The woman made it all up. The AP is reporting that police found her story just didn’t add up. Here’s more of the details:

“A McCain campaign volunteer who reported that a tall black man robbed her and then cut a “B” onto her cheek after seeing a McCain bumper sticker on her car has been given a polygraph test because of ‘inconsistencies’ in her story, police said.

Among other things, police said photos and bank card information from an automated teller machine where the college student claimed she was robbed do not show her using the machine at the time, police said.”

Yesterday, Todd became a mini Joe The Plumber. According to HuffPo: “The report of the attack Thursday prompted the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate, Sarah Palin, to call Todd expressing their concern. Barack Obama’s campaign also issued a statement wishing Todd well and hoping the attacker would be swiftly brought to justice.”

I guess Todd won’t be making any appearances on Fox News. And I guess McCain will not be citing her in any campaign rallies or using her as some sort of campaign theme.

I keep looking at her face........this took a lot of work...with Halloween just around the corner...she created quite a costume .....

What's next?

We shall see......

Hump Day News & Views

They're still playing baseball?????

So it seems. But not for long.......Both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies have commanding 3-1 leads in their best of seven league championship series over the Boston Redsox and the L A Dodgers.

So instead of an east coast -- west coast match-up between L A and Boston in the World Series.....it looks like a Philly-Tampa .....nobody cares....series.

And..........is any one watching?

MLB has a knack for screwing up the obvious. Think about it....How many starting times have their been in this post season? 4pm.....4:05pm.....7:05pm.......7:30pm.....8:05pm....10:05pm.....It's so frustrating.....In the NFL, the early games aways start at 1pm.......the late games, 4:15pm.....been that way .....for 30 years. It's not that difficult..........but MLB.....as usual........still doesn't get it.



The train wreck.....that is the Dallas Cowboys.....

This could get ugly. The starting QB (Tony Romo) is out for 4 weeks with a broken pinkie finger.......the number one coverage DB (Adam "Pacman" Jones) is suspended for at least 4 weeks. Rookie sensation RB ( Felix Jones) is injured. The offensive line is big....but slow.

And..........mark my word.....T. O. is about ready to have one of his team ripping tantrums.....to totally derail this football team.

Oh yes........and a coach (Wade Phillips) who all they players like.....but do not respect.

This won't be pretty.



Home Coming......this Saturday in this southern college town......


For the first time in history........Vanderbilt and Georgia .....will play a football game ........with both teams ranked in the top 25. UGA is #9 and Vandy is #22.

Fun facts:

Since Mark Richt took over as Georgia’s head coach in 2001, the Bulldogs have won six of seven meetings against Vanderbilt. However, Vandy won the last game against Georgia in Sanford Stadium after picking up a 24-22 win in 2006. The Bulldogs beat Vandy 20-17 last year with a field goal as time expired. Georgia leads the series 48-18-2 overall and is 24-4 in Sanford Stadium.

But...........this will not be easy.....The line is Georgia by 14....... And Vandy will just be Vandy.

Just hang around 'till the 4th quarter.....Should be an interesting game.




Shaq...........talking ........smack.......

The only thing I call cowardly is when you're up by 10 and do it. That's a coward move and he knows that and I'll make them pay for it.

--Shaquille O'Neal, on KTAR

Alright already.....Shaq..........we get it.....

Read the link below:

Shaq still hacked, vows revenge on Spurs

Our take is this: Shaq, you are an old man. You are no where near the player you once were. You are a 1985 Bonneville going up against 2008 Nissan Maximas.......

The Suns grossly over paid for your services. You hold this high powered offense back........because it takes you 15 seconds to make it.....back....... across half court.

Ten years ago.....if Shaq had made these same comments.......they would be relevant.....but in todays' game? Nope........

The only thing that has remained constant during Shaq's NBA career? His free throw shooting.......It still sucks.



The final debate..........

It will go down tonight. Obama and McCain......McCain needs a miracle. McCain comes out yesterday with his economic stimulus plan.........a day after Obama's. And a bit bland in comparison.

And watching Fox News........it was hilarious.... They want .......so bad to derail the Obama Express.......and all they could come up with is ACORN

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - Wikipedia ...

Just vote........

And have a great Hump Day......

"I wanna cut his nuts off"!!!

Wow!

Did he really say that? Yes ........and no. Jesse Jackson was on Fox News the other day and thought the microphone was off. So he voices his own feelings about Barack Obama.

Here's the clip......courtesy of Fox News and Red Lasso:







Yes........He said it.....Now here's the inevitable apology:





Thanks again to Red Lasso along with ABC's Good Morning America......

My take on the whole thing?

Jesse Jackson ......is a fraud.....has always been a fraud ........and will always be a fraud. Which is why...I never refer to him .......as ....a Reverend..........Funny thing......when he knows the camera is on....he talks so differently.....so eloquently...

But when the mic is off........and the camera shut down.....the real Mr. Jackson shows up.

I believe the first clip from Fox ........is how Jesse really feels about Senator Obama.....Be it jealousy.....(Jesse never got this far with his presidential aspirations)......or something else.....it is quite obvious he does not care for the Senator.

Obama has done more to unite the black race in one year..........that Jackson has done over the last 30 years........

And that.......is that!

And that.......is good.
