Get Real

          I was not going to pay those money grubbers at ESPN+ one red cent, so I had to keep up with my Manchester United Red Devils through the delayed Gamecast on the channel I DO pay for.           I both praise the Premier League football club unnecessarily sometimes, and criticize them unnecessarily at others.Continue reading “Get Real”

Still Worth It?

You have to wonder. Our borders have been open to immigrants from all over the world, and I always thought, their own country must be really bad if they want to come here. They might want to think twice now. The president signed an Executive Order getting the infamous facility at Guantanamo prepped for certainContinue reading “Still Worth It?”

Patience, My Ass!

As you may, or may not know, I was not blessed with a plethora of patience. And that was at birth. Now add seventy years’ worth of  life on planet Earth, and I have next to zero left in the tank. I’ve always had a hard time with stupidity. Ignorance is hard to find faultContinue reading “Patience, My Ass!”

Great (and not so great) Expectations

It was only the first official Premier League football match away at Portman Road under the Amorim reign as manager. The Reds were very lucky to escape Southampton with a 1-1 draw, despite scoring in the first two minutes of play. Not until the final ten minutes of play did United revive a dead offenseContinue reading “Great (and not so great) Expectations”

It’s Getting Close

Pretty soon, bye-bye political ads. At the least the half-truths and downright lies being espoused by both parties’ candidates. Then we can go about putting our fingers in our ears and sing “la!la!la!” as we listen to their half-truths and downright lies when they take office and ask us to believe them one more time.Continue reading “It’s Getting Close”

Options

LIfe is all about options. The choices we make, the reasons we come up with to justify our actions, and the consequences we ultimately must pay for them. There is a balance to the universe and it is even more simplistic than the concept of yin and yang and the balance it perpetuates. Right andContinue reading “Options”

What’s the Worst That Could Happen?

After seventy years on this planet, I’m pretty much settled in as a worse-case scenario guy. I want the bad news first. Every four or eight years we resume this “Kill the piggie!” dance, aka our presidential election. What once was a civil transfer of power from one regime pledging to improve our country toContinue reading “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?”

Know When to Say When

No one can ever put a dent in my loyalty to the Manchester United Red Devils, but who, if anyone, will be the one to say, “enough is enough.?” I have watched the team play two matches and they looked like crap in both contests. I have never been a fan of manager Erik TenContinue reading “Know When to Say When”

I Don’t Care…

about our dying democracy; I care for future generations. I don’t give a damn about our crumbling bicameral system; it’s not working. And don’t get me started about the self-centered dumbasses that populate our judicial branch. If you think it’s bad now…… I have maybe a decade left (if I’m lucky), so their favorite dictatorContinue reading “I Don’t Care…”
