Opening Stuff:
I have rarely been as emotionally drained as I was Friday afternoon at the end of the celebration of 100 years of Fenway Park. 216 baseball players who I had lived and died with for over sixty years walked out of the center field door as if from corn Fields on an Iowa farm. Each, no matter how big a star or small, recall a moment that's part of your base ball soul. With all of the highlights and all of the cheers, nothing gets to my rear reservoir than Yaz walkin' across the field. God, how I loved watching that guy play. Anybody who has ever loved the game of baseball would have found their heart beating a little faster between 2:00 and 3:00 last Friday.
I see where Sarah Palin was being "Checked out" by some Secret Service guy. And it was suggested that maybe they are checkin' out Michelle O too. So here's an idea. Let's do it the Roman way -- Eunuchs! If it was good enough for the Roman Emperor's watchdogs. it's good enough for us. Besides, like Rome we're declining and falling!
Or maybe we should just get rid of FaceBook and YouTube. Then the antics will be safe from sensationalizer's eyes.
The great Treasurer of RI Gina Raimondo, a Democrat, has been called by many "A Conservative." I think her response was excellent: "No, I'm a realist," she countered. Many branded conservatives are really just basically honest, rational people trying to do what's right. Unfortunately to too many thees days, what's right and correct is considered eerie, scary and threatening.
The Question:
Hundred's of Airlines over the years have faded from existence. Name ten big ones.

As promised, this august morning opinionated mess will continue to remind the world of one Obama statement that should put everybody on High alert: "This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." I'm placing bets that this is not the only time he has used this hedge to key international and local power groups like his own liberal base... that in closed rooms he has said to his left supporters, "I'll never get elected if I espouse what you want, so be patient." Are the Iranians and North Koreans now expecting a similar about face." Basically he is saying, "If you want to learn the truth that lies in my heart, vote for me."
You can tell a lot about people by the way they put away shopping carts or how they behave at 4-Way Stop signs.
Nothing symbolizes better the growing division in America than the awful Caruola Act in RI. This is a State Legislative action that allows school boards to sue fellow citizens for more money.
I see where Tom Brady and Giselle were at the Fenway 100th. At least Tom didn't wear a NYY cap. No, he wore a Fop hat instead. Giselle has got to stop dressing him.
The Stooges hit the films in the 1930's They were revised in the early days of TV when I was your basic, stupid irresponsible young teenager, But, I have to tell you, I really didn't watch them very much. Frankly, after the first few times with their antics, i foumd them kind of monotonous. Instead I was enthralled with high brow humor like Abbot and Costello. The Bowery Boys, Our Gang and Laurel and Hardy. Stuff with meaning. The real second coming of the Stooges was in the 70's and 80's when revivals of the clowns caught on with the teens and twenty somethings. Maybe they needed inane after all of the seriousness of the protest era.
Do you find it curious that Eric Holder not going after States with Voter ID laws like RI which is in the Dem pocket, but only those large toss-up states like Texas, with lots of illegals, potentially criminal voters. Doesn't sound like a "fair" policy. I wonder if 0-Man knows?
One of the greatest threats to our future is the "International Left", a large and growing silent group that is manipulating behind the scenes to promote international courts and across the border laws that infringe upon the sovereignty of national constitutions.
The Answer:
Some bug names have bit teh dust over the years. Remember Eastern. And Pan American. Then you have Allegheny, Capitol, Braniff, Frontier, Mohawk, National, Northeast, Northwest, Ozark, Piedmont, Republic, Continental (Part of United), Western and TWA! And now maybe American!Of course the real tears over, under and around Fenway came Saturday afternoon, when the Sox blew a 9-1 lead. I went to a Tavern Sat night and when I walked in I asked, "Why is the Sox game still on TV?" He said, "Because it is 9-8." Aaaaaaaaaaarg!
Sign found in front of McDonald's Store: "Saying your kids are fat because of us, is like saying it's Hooter's fault that your husband likes big boobs."
I had to laugh at the headline about Gordon Fox being in charge of RI Government because Gov. and Lt. Gov were out of town. Speaker Fox and his predecessors have always been in charge of the RI Government.
It's going to be a good week. Enjoy it.
