Bush Picks Up Two Key Endorsements: Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long

When JB read the stat that said whenever the Redskins lose before the election, the incumbent loses, Bradshaw began saying "Say it ain't so" while Long said "Ain't gonna happen."

Blaster Says Don't Worry About the Redskins Losing: "With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void."

That sounds pretty good to me.

I think the Football Gods will exact their retribution for "Lambert Field"

They are toying with him...

Schilling, Bradshaw, Long, most of NASCAR...

Why is it the jocks are for Bush? I'm starting to believe that "Team America" speech.

With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void.

Everything changed after 9/11.

There was also a Monday Night Football game, very early in the season, in Foxboro, that had an exchange like this:

Madden (commenting on a play): That's what you call a flip-flop.
Michaels: You're in the right state for that.

Jocks are for Bush because they know there is no easy way to win but through concerted effort ... marrying a rich woman doesn't get you much on the field ... Bush is in the fight and willing to takes risks that Kerry and many liberals are not willing to take.

Blaster is right. There is no way under normal circumstances a guy as fiercly competitive as the Babe would allow his curse to fall to #2 to the cubbies!Something else is going on, so all sports predictors are out the window.

"Stay on Target!"

AC/DC also wrote "Giving the Dog a Bone." This might not be the most ineffective song, but it is surely one of the most tasteless. Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love" with its thrusting guitar riff is quite tasteless, too. These might work with the "right" woman, though.


There is no "right" woman for Lee Greenwood's song, however.

I must've missed that bit today, but that's great news. Then again, it *is* Fox.

It's nearly enough to make me forgive Howie for "Firestorm" and those insufferable Radio Shack commercials.

Terry's a god among men, however.

Cheers,
Dave

Also the Patriots winning streak was finally brought to an end today, signaling that this is indeed the year in which past trends/streaks do not matter.

FAA fines SpaceX $633K for acting without its permission "These fines therefore are simply because FAA management has hurt feelings because SpaceX wouldn't wait for it to twiddle its thumbs for a few more weeks. The fines also suggest that FAA management is either being pressured to hinder SpaceX's commercial operations by higher ups in the White House, or that management itself is trying to exert more power over the company, for apparently very petty reasons."

2) anonymous bomb threats with no arrests or suspects is "Republicans threatening Haitians."

Well fuck them, I called the hospital and they said there's no confirmed reports of specific individual Republicans making any bomb threats.

Supposedly a Twitter account called "The Black Insurrectionist" has a signed affidavit from an anonymous ABC "News" staffer, alleging that Muir and Kamala's sorority sister exchanged questions behind the scenes. I don't know if this is true. He says he's keeping the name of the staffer anonymous, so there will be no way to verify it even if he publishes it. Shrug. It's not much but a claim.

I thought Donny Iris was super-obscure, but then like 20 commenters told me "Oh I've always been a big Donny Iris fan, he was huge in Pittsburgh (or wherever)." So maybe people will tell me "I still play this album" or something.

Mind blown: "Adult" and "adolescent" are the same word!
So "adolescent" is basically the progressive form of the verb adolscere, to grow, to mature, so an adolescent is maturing. Adult, from adoltus, is the part tense of the verb, which means, "matured."
I looked it up because I started to wonder why these near-opposite terms looked so much alike.
Nostalgia for you all. Autumn...

Way back in my childhood, around 9 years old, there was a day in late September, no specific date, I was skipping (half walk, half run) down my driveway to see if other kids on my street were out throwing ball, or riding bikes, and the afternoon sun was had a certain brilliance and the air was sharp in my nostrils with the smell of sycamore leaves and pine.

And it was as if I could actually feel the earth ...tilt... ever so slightly and the air was suddenly cooler yet charged with a kind of electricity which hit me with the urge to run down the rest of my driveway and sprint up the street to play with whoever I could find and I welcomed Autumn.

Much Older now I am, but I awaited this day as always throughout my life wherever I was. Some years I 'caught" it...other years I missed it.

This year, I await that day. I want to catch it again.
