Packers, Braun, Sandusky, GOP

Posted on 5:50 AM by Unknown
Happened again - lots of stuff to comment on Sunday night and all gone Monday morning.

Anyway - Jerry Sandusky -sigh - did he REALLY say that "if any other kids come forward I will turn myself in".  WHAT??  Seriously?  You do know that MIGHT sound bad right?   And when asked if he liked little boys he said "I like boys AND girls".  REALLY?  Perhaps you should consult your lawyer from time to time.

--------------------------------------
Ryan Braun - SHIT!!  that is how I feel.  I was with Elwood when DJ commented that Braun tested positive and honestly, I was in denial.  TYPICALLY when something like this happens, news does not come out until there is a final hearing.  But ESPN wanted to get the scoop and came out basically saying Braun is guilty until proven innocent.  ESPN has become a tool.  They sat on a tape of child molestation for 10 years (was it Sacramento?) saying "we did nothing legally wrong.  How about morally wrong!!!!!

Braun - weirdness reins.  His first test was higher then anybody has EVER tested.  Twice the largest readings ever recorded.  Braun head should would have been four times it's normal size.

I got bored
 His second test - ZIP, NADA, NOTHING.  Does that not seem weird?  Yet ESPN took a poll and 83% of people taking the poll say their opinion of Braun has changed!  GUILTY until proven innocent.

----------------------------------------

Packers - BORING!!  Being what arguably could be the best team in NFL history is boring!  No one even talks about the Packers - it's like they are in a different league.   OH - if only the Packers had Tim Tebow instead of Aaron Rogers.  After all - Tebow has lead the Broncos in four straight 4th quarter comebacks!   How many games has Rogers had comebacks in in the last 18 games - ONLY ONE!!!   Wait.  In the last 18 games the Packers have only been losing ONCE in the 4th quarter.

-----------------------------------------

Ohio - OOPS - GOP in Colorado really screw up!

In the Colorado redistricting battles the GOP attempted to go for it all and challenged the redistricting maps of the commission because they were not drawn the way the GOP preferred, totally pro Republican everywhere in the state.

The Democrats also presented an alternative but because of their laws, the Commission then proceeded to draw up a third map, which made the GOP howl because it is actually considered to be ruinous of the GOPs attempt to take over the legislature. So they went to court.

The GOP rejected the Dem alternative despite it being the 50-50 point in the opinion from a GOP perspective and they took it to the Colorado Supreme Court. The GOP filed an amateur hour brief and the Court then decided to impose the Commissions map rather than the Dem map, all because the GOP launched a legal challenge in the first place.

The GOP ability to win the state senate has evaporated and they might now lose seats now.  The GOP continues to trip over themselves, and these guys want to lead our country?
--------------------------------

Once Upon a Time - what a great show that is! If you have not seen it it's pretty darn good.



Another good show is Hell on Wheels


 I truly believe we are in the Golden age of TV programming.  There are some really really good shows out there, Documentary's I have never seen such as what happened the 24 hours AFTER Pearl Harbor - fascinating!! 

Plus - Thursday Night Football will start in week one next year - NFL 3 days a week!!! 
---------------------------------------

Will Mitt's $10,000 bet be the Howard Dean moment of the 2012 elections?  I have mixed reaction.  IF, IF Obama loses the election Romney would be my choice to run the gov (odd, he was the whack job candidate 3 years ago and now he is the most sane?) .  HOWEVER - Newt?  I think there are SO many skeletons in Newts closet he does not stand a chance of winning. 

According to the FiveThirtyFive website which forecasts elections - " there is a small but nontrivial chance that the Republican nominee will be someone like Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, Mitch Daniels, Tim Pawlenty or Chris Christie."

mmmmmmmm Jeb Bush!!!
