Another Quick Round Up

First, I promise to make time to get back to my political commentary in the very near future. There are several stories that I'm itching to rant about but with the holidays approaching, time is scarce. For now, just a quick round up.

I'm happy to report that on Sunday I heard Bob Costas announce that it was indeed impossible for a team (or anyone else for that matter) to control their own fate or destiny. Thank you, Bob, for getting my message out there so promptly. Then, on Monday, I heard a sportscaster on the radio repeatedly say that (insert team here) "controlled their own path to the playoffs." Much better, boys. Glad we were finally able to sort that out.

Fantasy Football update: I had 3 teams playing for championships this past weekend but I went 1-2. I did manage to win the highly prestigious RT Marathoner's League Championship, so at least I have bragging rights there. I have one more team that advanced to the championship for this coming weekend. Overall, a pretty solid season. Four teams finishing no worse than second and one team finishing sixth in a twelve team league. I'll take it.

It looks like Al Franken is going to win in Minnesota. I'm still waiting for Coleman to concede, you know, to save the taxpayers the money it costs to pay for the recount. He was all about asking Franken to concede when Coleman had the lead. Funny, how things changed as soon as the shoe was on the other foot.

More Limbaugh lunacy yesterday. First, he tried to frame the "Bush Recession" as the "Obama Recession". Now that he has failed in that attempt, his latest gimmick is to allege a vast far left wing conspiracy for the current economic crisis. Yes, you see, the weak Democratic Party, who held no political power, were somehow able to "manufacture" the recession, the Wall Street collapse, the Auto Industry collapse, the banking fraud/crisis, etc. all in an attempt to make Bush look bad and to get Obama elected. Apparently, Limbaugh has moved on from Oxycontin to hallucinogens. He must be right. It can't have anything to do with deregulation and the Bush foxes guarding the hen houses. Nah, must be the Democrats.

Marc Dann, WTF? You must be a bigger dumb ass than any of us could have imagined. It just goes to show, you can take the (former) Attorney General out of Youngstown but you can't take the Youngstown out of the Attorney General.

OK, gotta run. I want to touch on the Bush/Cheney Legacy Tour as soon as I have time. Good, funny, revisionist history, dementia, and/or pathological lying going on there. Fun, fun, fun.
