Tuesday Stuff

Posted on 7:27 AM by Unknown
I love how the media is making up there news now with headline polls.  They takes ONE of the 20 polls that were published Monday and make it a headline.  If you look at all the polls that were published Monday - nothing happened, everything is the same.  But the media comes out with huge headlines.

The headline should read - NOTHING HAPPENED.  But in the USA today it reads  WOMAN PUSH ROMNEY TO THE LEAD!!  Which is worse because it's one subset from one poll.

Then you need to take all of the State Polls which are used for the Electoral Collage votes and how they match up with the National Polls because as far as the election is - who cares about National Polls, it's the State polls that actually predict who will be President.

In the State polls right now in Simulations Obama has a 289.2 - 248.8 lead.
--------------------------------------------

I can't believe Madison as fired all of the Golf Course Pros to save money to improve clubhouses and fix courses.  Screw what the Pros do like Tournaments, teaching and the PGA says they will no longer hold the PGA Junior Championship.   OH , an no longer can you get anything but cheap swill beer, no hard liqueur will be served as licenses will expire. 

OH - a Pro can be hired back at $20 an hour and virtually no city benefits.

You can tell golf is dieing.  Heck you can play Kestrel Ridge for less then a Madison course.
----------------------------------------

Remember what happened 25 years ago today?     Jessica McClure, then 18 months old was rescued from that abandoned water well  after being stuck 22 feet down for 58 hours.

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

Can you guess who this is?? 

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


Speaking of the upcoming debate.  Make sure you watch the debate on CNN.  While 95% of all networks are the same CNN is awesome for debates.  Seriously.  They have running approval graphs on every word the politicians say.

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

I'm reading a pretty good book right now called The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman  . . . . wait - did I mention this here or on Facebook.  hmmmmmmm

Bod is an unusual boy who inhabits an unusual place-he's the only living resident of a graveyard. Raised from infancy by the ghosts, werewolves, and other cemetery denizens, Bod has learned the antiquated customs of his guardians' time as well as their timely ghostly teachings-like the ability to Fade. Can a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead? And then there are things like ghouls that aren't really one thing or the other. This chilling tale is Neil Gaiman's first full-length novel for middle-grade readers since the internationally bestselling and universally acclaimed Coraline. Like Coraline, this book is sure to enchant and surprise young readers as well as Neil Gaiman's legion of adult fans.

Whew - I was worried there for a second.  

OH - if you are looking to put a wager on a game  PLAY Tampa Bay +2.5 at home vs. The Saints.   Bridgejumper is  33-17 on this section.  And this year Bridgejumper is 10-5 so far.
