Thoughts on the Inauguration

Having watched today’s coronation, er…I mean inauguration – which was, I must say, the best comedy on TV since Andy Griffith – I cannot let it pass without a few observations.
¨      Aretha Franklin. Holy Smokes, I haven’t heard a noise like that since the neighbor’s poodle had a litter of St. Bernard puppies.  In all [...]

If the Founding Fathers Could See Us Now!

Hot off the Press – New Election Polls!!!

·         In the all-important 89-101 age demographic, McCain leads 82% to 18%
·         Among unwed fathers on probation or parole, Obama gets 91% of the vote
·         All voters who voted in the past two elections, but can’t remember where they put their car keys are tied 48%-48%
·         Voters who attended college on a shuffleboard scholarship favor [...]

Vince Young Keeps Tradition in Titans Win

Although he failed to make the trip to Cincinnati with his teammates to watch the Titans dismantle the Bengals 24-7, Vince Young stayed in “game mode” as he watched the game with his friends at the Happy Dayz Learning Center in Franklin. After watching Kerry Collins lead the team in their first scoring drive, VY [...]

Can America Survive Without Obama?

You know, the more I read and see of Obama, the more I understand the brilliance behind his positions. Here are a few examples:

Reducing Dependence on Foreign Oil- Yes, I know we could drill for our own oil, develop clean coal technology or build nuclear power plants, but Obama’s plan is so much better…the plan – do [...]

It doesn’t get any better than this.

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities..
We tend to prefer candidates who don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion – I’m going to Washington to serve the people [...]

Palin Pounces on Barak’s Bounce

If anyone doubts the extraordinary wisdom and political one-upmanship of McCain’s selection of Gov. Sarah Palin (AK), all they need to do is watch the visceral reaction of the media, democrats in general and the DahliBama in particular. Perhaps most telling, was the reaction of Bob Beckel, the democrat political genius, who can’t produce a [...]

“O” no…It’s Joe!!

The talking heads all say that the choice of a running mate is the first “presidential” decision a candidate makes when seeking the White House, Obama better hope that’s not true. Obviously, by selecting Joe Biden, he allowed his insecurity about the Clinton’s to trump his electability. Don’t get me wrong, as a conservative, I’m [...]

Skip Caray – Humor…

 
“The bases are loaded again, and I wish I was, too.”
 
The call Skip used until Ted Turner made him quit saying it: “We’ve come to the bottom of another fifth.”
 
Braves up by 16. Biggio (late in the game) singles. “Sit tight, folks. a long one here and suddenly we’re in a 14 run game.”
In the [...]

Thank you, Skip Caray.

I have always enjoyed listening to baseball on radio much more than watching it on television, it just seems that the game fits that medium best. Unlike most, if not all, other sports, baseball provides time for announcers to inject themselves into the broadcast and tailor them with their own style and personality and perhaps that is why radio has held [...]
