For an Easy Weekend:
Well,
the conventions are over. Hillary did what she was
supposed to do last night for her crowd just as the Trumpster did a week
before. Both candidates were introduced by smarter than average daughters. Both
have higher than average unfavorables. Hill will get a bump to match Trump. People
who think nobody could hate a candidate more than they hate Trump would find
that the anti Hillary crowd feels exactly the same way. So, that’s what we got –
a nation that became more divided and progressive under Obama, and one candidate
who is implying she will continue that (Until she shifts to the center) and another
who tweets we’re broken and we need a fix. What a revolting development this
has become. The choice is really this – do you want to go moderate and to the
right or do you want go moderate and way to the left.

Duh,
Deartment:
The NCAA Football playoff committee held a meeting
this week and determined that the 36% drop in TV ratings last year was probably
due to the game played on New Years Eve! Most intelligent USA observers felt that
would happen way before the game was played when the schedule was announced. This
is another good example of how big governing bodies get in the way of rational
thinking.
I
have to believe that Alphabet (The Corporate entity
owning Google) has to be one of the best stocks own in this new global business
world. They have learne how to cross broders better than Apple, which still allows
arrogance get in the way.
The
Question:
Who are these people? -- Kevin Chapman, Tim Gunn,
Alexandra Paul and Allison Mack. Bonus:
Who was the first US President to visit a Nazi Concentration camp?
The
Headlines:
--Exxon Profits Drop 59%; Earnings Season Has Been
More Positive Than negative; Markets Looking For Direction.
--Stopped Black Driver Opens Fire On Police
Killing One.
--At Least 5 US Troops Wounded In Afghan Fight
Against Islamic State.
--FBI’s Comey Reinforces Potential Danger Of ISIS
In USA; Says When Islamic State Is Defeated, Combatants Will Infiltrate Many Countries
Across The Globe.
--PGA Tourney Favorites Johnson And McIlroy Open
With +7 and +4. Jimmy Walker Leads at -5 followed By Grillo, Fisher, Kaymer,
English, Hahn, Sullivan And British Open Champ Stenson.
--Hillarious And Trumpeter Bring Campaigns To Rustbelt.
After
observing the two conventions and the resultant
reporting, it is obvious that Trump’s biggest adversary (Other than his own
words) is the general media who have apparently sold their soul to the Clintons.
Besides, the media love breaking news stories and writing about something new
like the first woman president, regardless if isn’t is good for America.
“Shoe”

Yesterday
a New England Team comprised mainly of 16 year Rhode
Island soccer players was crowned National Youth Soccer Champion after beating
a team from California. The undefeated RI’ers had previously beaten teams from Colorado, Chicago
and Seattle. Also yesterday the one hundred foot yacht Comanche skippered by RI’s
Ken Reid established a new across the Atlantic speed record for monohulls. So,
if there are so many capable RI’ers, and so many great regular people who know
that the problems in the state are the result of a union owned Democrat legislature
in power for 5 decades, how come nobody can vote them out and move RI off of 50th
position for favorable to business index. It just shows you how a bad
government can impede the hopes of great people.
Another
Cop has been murdered approaching a stopped car, and you
wonder why police are overly alert to sudden movements inside the vehicles.
The
conventions that have dominated the “News” for
the last two weeks are not news at all, but simply programmed promotions.
How
much do you want to bet that the media that pretty much ignored Trump’s surge will
look at the Hillary “bump” as historical in American Politics
Local
New England football kibitzers agree that Bill Belichick
is probably happy to have the opportunity to play Jimmy Garafolo during the four
Game Brady suspension. As good and reliable as Brady is, Belichick knows he won’t
be here forever. The Pat’s winning longevity has come from Bill looking ahead
at all times. Goodell unwittingly gave him an opening to see what he has for
the future.
People
keep on telling me that Trump is a jerk, and it is practically
impossible to disagree. But the Marian Wright Edelman disciple and big government
maven, Hillary, is a potential disaster for the future of an America that works
for the self esteem of people.
Reading
Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--Count me in for Matt Damans latest version of
the adventuress of the shadowy Jason Bourne in a movie of the same name. The
third film in this now four part series was a dud, but fans will be happy again
with this one as critics whine.
--The title Bad Moms just turns me off immediately.
I am just sick and tired of comedies that lower the bar to assuage the guilt of
the irresponsible. A gaggle of over stressed moms go on a no holds barred
bender, and along the way the movie makes fun of decent moms. It is considered “Hangover”
for moms and it is nowhere on my radar.
--Nerve is a teen thriller that could be good. A
high school senior craves excitement for her wallpaper life and at te urging of
friends signs on to the popular online game Nerve, which is about accepting
dares. In it she is teamed with a mysterious stranger and the game takes a sinister
turn with more dangerous challenges, and a thrilling finale.
The
Answer:
Kevin Chapman is a great character actor you may
know as the enforcer in Mystic River, but I enjoyed a lot in the role of the
bad cop turned good in the TV series Person of Interest. Tim Gunn was the Chief
Creative Officer for Liz Caliborne, but is best known for his mentoring on
project Runway. A former model, Alexandra Paul gt her first break in the excellent
horror film Christine, but is best known perhaps as Lt. Stephanie Holden in the
TV series Baywatch. Allison Mack is best known for her role as Chloe Sullivan
In “Smalltown”. Bonus: Gerald Ford
visited Auschwitz in 1975.
I
don’t know about you,
but I have wiped the conventions from my mind and look forward to an angst free,
quiet weekend.
En-joy
it
to the max…E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
