Ego

No, not yet another proffered treatise on a saturated subject. Aaron Rodgers. Talk about narcissists. I just got pissed at myself because by writing about this douchebag I am just perpetuating his yet-to-be-released Broadway smash one-man show while he sits in voluntary solitary confinement to come to a decision on his future. Get over yourselfContinue reading “Ego”

Not Even Close

I’m not talking about the Super Bowl; it was very close and the game lived up to all the hype for a change. As a matter of fact, since I did not have a horse in the race, so to speak, I was going to be content just watching a competitive game. What a game!Continue reading “Not Even Close”

Yet Another Sign

That we are losing it. Netherlands is proposing a ban on smoking weed outside in the red light district That’s like trying to ban drinking at Mardi Gras. It was never legally allowed outside in the past, but now it is a big deal. Illegal prostitution was never a problem in Der Wallen, as theContinue reading “Yet Another Sign”

My Three Cents

If you saw my blog yesterday, I need to take some of my own medicine. Just when I proclaimed that our lawmakers in Congress would never come together on anything, that they were too divisive to get anything done, they pass a bill by a vote tally of 419-0. There’s a reason I am notContinue reading “My Three Cents”

STFU

If you’ve got a name like Huckabee, really, you need to STFU. If you are a politician, be that Red or Blue, if you have nothing constructive to say, STFU. You look like fifty pounds of shit in a twenty-five pound bag, so put down the fork, then we’ll discuss politics. There once was aContinue reading “STFU”

Maddogg’s State of the Union Review

I watched JoJo’s speech tonight and of course, I have some thoughts on it. 1—There’s got to be some age restrictions imposed on all the old whitehairs running our government. 2—That ancient Bernie Sanders really wanted to make sure he stood out from everyone in the building, so he was the only one who woreContinue reading “Maddogg’s State of the Union Review”

The Hunt for Red October

A great read by Tom Clancy and so technical that I feel he explains it well enough that I could pull a five-hundred foot long nuclear attack submarine out of dock and head to open sea. Just like in the movie, the Russians have lost a huge nuclear submarine. The headline said they lost it,Continue reading “The Hunt for Red October”

Checking In

A weather balloon. Right. Now it’s just debris, but why did it take so long for the bubbleheads in our Defense Department to shoot it down? And why is a mere weather balloon the size of a football field? Must be a whole lot of data it is collecting. Even an old country boy likeContinue reading “Checking In”

The Man Who Would Be King

One of my favorite movies of all-time and an apt descriptor for King James, aka Lebron James, professional basketball star. Lebron is approaching the all-time NBA scoring record held by the much-revered Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Lebron is supposed to be here. He was anointed at age 16 and has pretty much lived up to theContinue reading “The Man Who Would Be King”

When is Enough Enough?

When free agency hit sports, I started to lose interest. It used to be your city had a professional sports team and the whole city rooted for them because it was their” team, “their” players. Players would play their entire career for the same team and this gave fans a vested interest in cheering theContinue reading “When is Enough Enough?”
