But, it is Christmas:
How sad is it in America when so many cheered the death of Brian Thompson.
Sports victory dances have become tedious. And some of the in-your-face celebrations dangerous. Welcome to te anger society.
And a lot of people will be angry that we put Christ into Christmas.
The NCAA football playoff picture looks like Loony Tunes. But there is so much money involved now that normal is a thing of the past.
“We lived in a house that ran on static electricity. If we wanted to cook something, we had to take a sweater off real quick. If we wanted to run a blender we had to rub balloons on our heads.” --SW

There’s a lot of news coming in today. The Tids should be better.
They were talking about the high salaries of baseball players. The first giant salary was mentioned – that of Alex Rodrigus. It was noted that while his production numbers were very good his team never won anything, His agent Bib Boris said, “If he wasn't worth that money why were so many teams anxious to pick up that same contract in a trade.” I'll tell Yiu why – because they were stupid.
I've never understood why people say Christmas is so stressful. I think people like to create stress. It makes them feel like they’re doing something.

To justify the big media payouts to sports organizations the organizations have to expand beyond who they were to attract non-sports fans. One of the latest schemes is the “golden bat.” suggested by the chief of baseball.

The thinking is that more viewers will tune in to see the big home run from the celebrity player. But the beauty of base Bakal is everywhere on teh field way beyond the glitz.

The official Name of the Statue of Liberty isn’t Miss Liberty, but “Liberty Enlightening the World”. Bonus: Silver Bells was from the movie Lemon Drop Kid and was sung by William Frawley, Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell.
Silver Bells is a get in the Christmas mood kind of song:
