Opening stuff:
It’s really hard to
determine exactly where the State of the Union lies today. It is just so
hard to believe the Politicians, and our watchdog media spend most of their
efforts chasing their own agendas. The dreams I had don’t seem to be there
anymore. Lines of truth are continually blurred, and I can’t leave my screen
door open, blowing in the winds. Everybody knows too much about everybody else,
and the government has too many people with nothing to do but tell the rest of
us how to run our lives. Maybe I just want to be a kid again, walking on a
dusty ball field, kicking a pebble or too. Yelling, “Hey batta, batta.” Playing
with the kids in the neighborhood on teams we built ourselves. Maybe though, I just want to be in that world
we had. Where people built ways to help each other, where almost everybody
worked to get ahead, yet the truly needy were taken care of. When almost everybody went to church on
Sunday, the day when almost everybody got to stay home and enjoy family. The
State of the Union has really become a meaningless hour to me. Because, nothing
is really going to change for the good of all people. Maybe it’s because too
many have forgotten what good really is.
We never really
grow up; we only learn how to act in public
If Obama is really serious
about what he is going to say tonight about more taxes et. al., he would
have said it back when he had Democrat congressional majorities who could pass
it. This is just the latest example of how he manipulates the poor and
yearning.
I‘m thinking that we
could save the coal industry with “Coal Fired Pizza” restaurants. There
seems to be a little trend for coal induced heat growing here, and maybe with further
penetration onto college campuses, a good pizza could break down the barriers
and gather in a little love from global waming naysayers. I’ll have a broccoli
pizza, please.
The movie, American
Sniper, shattered the January weekend sales record established by Oscar
winner Avatar -- $90.2 Million vs. $68 Million. The left side of Hollywood will
probably get back at the conservative side by filming the story about a
murderous member of al-Qaida who was mistreated at Gitmo. It will have tender
flash backs of the terrorist musing about the days when he strapped bombs on
his kids.
The Question:
Coach “K”. Mike Krzyzewski of Duke , won his 999th
game last night. Who do you think are the top all time winning college
basketball coaches? Bonus: The Byrds
hit it big in 1965 with Mr. Tambourine Man. Who wrote, composed and sang it
first? Double Bonus Extra: Who do
you think are the Top Ten all Time American Idol money earners?
The Headlines:

This deflation of
footballs story is a classic example of how the intense bias of journalists
misses the real stories.
Does a wandering
mind count as exercise?
By the way, the media
and the TV celebs, including several weenies on “The Five”, are rapidly
climbing upon the Seattle bandwagon. I guess things would be different if Bill
Belichick was a cute and lovable as Pete Carroll…or if Tom Brady cried as
tenderly as Russ Wilson. Bob Kraft could tip the emotional scales his way if he
permitted pot smoking at Gillette Stadium.
Grady Judd is my
new hero.
Speaking of justice
the old fashioned way before PC, the great TV show “Justified begins its final
season tonight at 10:00 on Fx. If you have never watched Justified, you have
missed a lot. My only problem tonight is what to watch between NCIS at 8:00 and Raylan Givens scheming
against Boyd Crowder at 10:00. Maybe I’ll read a book.
Maybe anti-Fracking
people have also gotten the term banned in Spell-Check because fracking doesn’t
show up there as an acceptable word! The Cuomo’s will do anything to get their
way..
Is there a tougher name
to spell and pronounce that K-r-z-y-z-e-w-s-k-i? I got the “Ski part right.
The Answer:
The top five winningest Div1 College Basketball coaches are
Mike Krzyzewski (999), Jim Boeheim (963), Bob Knight (899), Dean Smith (879) and
Jim Calhoun (877). Some of the others are Adolph Rupp, Jim Phelan (St. Mary’s),
Eddie Sutton, Lefty Dreisel, Lute Olsen, Lew Henson, Henry Iba, Ed Diddle, Phog
Allen, John Chaney, Jerry Tarkanian, Norm Stewart, Ray Meyer, Don Haskins and
Denny Crum. Bonus: Mr. Tambourine man
was first heard through the nasal sounds of the great Bob Dylan. Double Bonus: Number one is Kelly
Clarkson! The rest are Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Kellie Pickler, David
Cook, Jennifer Hudson, Jordan Sparks, David Archuleta, Clay Aiken and Kris
Allen.
So, Mr. Tambourine
Man will hop on the big stage of the US Capital tonight to do a little tap
dance while strumming the tune of wealth redistributions. Of course, it is a
masquerade, because he is always out of tune with America.
Frankly I love that
song,. Here are the Byrds and Bob Dylan. Pick your favorite:
