Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

Edit: Emergency Replacement Due To A Repost
  • My sickness, which was now limited to my stomach, was upgraded to 85% of its normal good health yesterday.
  • That is, until I went to a birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and ordered “Honey Glazed Chicken, Asparagus, Red and Yellow Peppers, Peas, Garlic and Onion in a Spicy Chipotle Parmesan Cream Sauce.” It's never a good sign with others at the table look at you and ask, "Are you OK?"
  • I don't care how old you are, getting tucked into bed when you're sick is not a bad deal.
  • I heard a high ranking Bridgeport football coach abruptly quit last week. (And I'm supposed to credit someone for the tip who won't let me mention him/her by name. Huh?) 
  • There's nothing wrong about walking around Southlake Town Center when it's seventy-something degrees.
  • I stopped down in front of the Apple store but didn't go in. Fourth-Grader-In-The-House: "Go in! You never get to go shopping and we go shopping every day!" Me: "Everyday?" Her (scrambling): "Not really."
  • Fuzzy's Tacos in Decatur is now open. Cool neon in the windows, by the way. 
  • Jimmy Kimmel with go head to head with Letterman and Leno, ABC announced yesterday. Caught a little bit of Leno a few nights ago. He is next to impossible to watch.
  • I somehow got involved in a seven person "group text chat" yesterday on the phone in connection with Fantasy Football. That whole concept is unstable. It was Seriousness v. Comedy v. Crazy Talk.
  • Looking out from the 23rd floor of 1 World Trade Center, to the 9/11 Memorial.
  • Mark Davis was urging Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin to drop out of the Missouri Senate race this morning because it gives Democrats the chance to say, "Look at some of the nutcases the Republicans have on their side!"
  • On The Ticket this morning they brought up the high school team in Arkansas that never punts: "Pulaski Academy, in Little Rock, Ark. In nine years, Kelley’s teams have posted a 104-19 record, winning three state titles. Last season, Pulaski went 14-0 and averaged 51 points per game." San Diego State is toying with the idea this year so long as they are inside the 50. Love it. 
  • The Alvord-teenage-death story in the Star-Telegram has been picked up by the AP. For example, it's on a Boston news site this morning. 
  • "Nude Photos Of Prince Harry In Las Vegas Surface Online." (You're on your own with that one.)  Man, I wouldn't want to be that guy back at Buckingham Palace when he hears the words, "The Queen would like for you to speak with her. Follow me."

The high school team that never punts has other unconventional tactics. They attempt onside kicks and never kick the ball away on kickoffs.

They also do not field punts from their opposition.

I had a stomach bug a few weeks ago, and starved it out. As you should have, apparently. When it was over, I felt better than I had in years. I kid you not.

Looking out from the 23rd floor of 1 World Trade Center, to the 9/11 Memorial.

You should see it at night, in the winter. Eery. I'm fed up with all of the 9/11 stuff because of how politicized the event has become, but that place will get to you.

Mark Davis was urging Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin to drop out of the Missouri Senate race this morning because it gives Democrats the chance to say, "Look at some of the nutcases the Republicans have on their side!"

Hell, Romney couldn't get him to quit. Now he's supposed to be our president and stare down N. Korea and Iran? China? When he can't handle one geezer in his own party?

And we aren't pointing at him as an example that they have nutcases in their party, but as PROOF that they are full of nutcases. This guy sponsored a bill on abortion, and was joined by hundreds of Republicans. Including the GOP's VP pick. And this is his scientific/medical opinion? And he thinks there's a non-legitimate form of rape?

I'm with the anon guy (guys/gals?) who's been harassing Wordkyle over this issue--Akin's beliefs are inexcusable in this day and age. And he's a major Republican. Priceless.

Someone fill us in on who the Bridgeport football coach that quit was.

Barry u should want us to hear it from u first!! Post the name!! You are suppose to be our go to man for the latest breaking news stories not the messenger!!

Ricardo Perry said...

Judging by comments, on this and other sites, supporting Akin, that candidate's views and opinions are very much in line with his party's base. Those same beliefs have been cultivated and reinforced by Fox, et al, for years.

So now, Davis is worried about the crazy talk?

Once again....exactly what are the beliefs that "all Republicans" support? It's sort of like Sasquatch, always mentioned but no real details seem to exist.

Anonymous said...

9:53 Matter of fact statements are too over the top for the left to handle then yes, Republicans/Conservatives tend to base their beliefs on factual matters instead of make believe.

Same with the beliefs the "all Democrats" support, don't you think Wordkyle? As it was said yesterday, you sure don't seem to like it when your own tactics are used against you.

Poor wordy, can't do anything but be on the defensive. You know he's on the ropes when he isn't posting something about how liberal everyone in the world is, or the media bias, or socialist Democrats. Must be a sad day in wordy's world.

Beliefs like God?

Beliefs like a woman's body won't let her get pregnant if she's "legitimately" raped?

Like the belief that there is a difference between forcible and non-forcible rape?

Tell us, 10:24, which of those beliefs are based on the "factual matters" you speak of.

Actually, the last few days of handling various commenters has been gratifying. Using your comments, I've been able to illustrate how, after posting ambiguous claims about apocryphal Liberal memes, you guys either won't or can't articulate what you're referring to.

I'll give you an idea of how it should be done:
- The unemployment rate after nearly four years under Obama remains above 8 percent. But it's actually worse --
- Two million fewer people are working now compared to a year ago...but they're not counted as "unemployed." Still "Bush's fault?"
- America's GDP growth rate -- basically the health of the economy --is declining again, 44 months into Obama's time in office. Still "Bush's fault?"

See how simple it is to articulate one's claims?

Decatur is hopping and has a new Fuzzys! What unemployment? GM is alive and Bin Ladin is dead.

Anonymous said...

Unemployment is lower now than it was when Bush left office.

The stock market is several thousand points higher than it was when Bush left office.

Yeah, I'd say it's simple.

The hard part, for Wordkyle, anyway, is not lying about it.

Anyone else notice that wordy still isn't condemning the statements made by his Party on rape?

Whassamatter wordy, still can't address the issues your party is putting out there?

Akin thinks women can't get pregnant if raped. Sorry, I meant "legitimately" raped. Or even, "legitimately " and "forcibly" raped--as if there's a difference.

Still Clinton's fault?

1137 - "the statements made by his Party on rape" And what statements has "the Party" made?

1214 - You're right, but how much traction do you think that story will have? The Democrat-controlled media control the conversation.

Anonymous said...

Here's the real problem with the whole Todd Akin thing...other Republicans have absolutely no business asking this guy to get out of the race.

I completely understand that, from a national perspective, it might hurt the Republican party. However, it is for the people of Missouri to decide who they want as their elected congressman, not congressmen from other states.

Right, wrong, or indifferent, the citizens of Missouri are the only people that have a right to dictate who represents them. Not the press, not political talk show hosts, and certainly not Republicans from other states. Period.

Stay Classy.

1:36, he's running for senate as a Republican! What's a minor Republican to you? And the doctor he based his rape opinion on has now endorsed Romney.

Hey Rage...

Just a few facts for ya...

The unemployment rate in January of 2009, the month Bush left office, was 7.6%

Yes, the major stock indexes are up from January 2009. If you are stupid enough to believe that the market turns on a dime instead of taking several years to turn around based on fiscal policies that were in place in January of 2009 and prior, then you are just too dumb to argue with.

So, just to recap your stance...

Bad things = not Bush's fault, it's been too long ago.

Good things = Bush did it!

That's too damn funny, right there.

Rage

Anonymous said...

Rage...who is lying now? A good percentage of the rise in the stock market is due to the devaluation of the dollar. Refute that, bitch!

Actually, Bush had very little to do with the economic upturn. I personally would credit Greenspan for the upturn.

I noticed you avoided mentioning your faux pas on the unemployment rate.

I thought lawyers were into checking the facts.

Records show that Labor Department spent $500,000 in stimulus funds to promote its green job training program on Obama-friendly MSNBC's 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' and 'The Rachel Maddow Show' in 2009.

Wink Wink. No wonder they back Obama. Surely, it's not a bribe in disguise.

Those lefty's sure can make a taxpayer feel all good about how they use the money can't they?
