    Things that annoy me

    We have trust fund communists in the US. It must be a singular situation. That is because the rich, mostly white, college educated types are not affected by the views they espouse. So you get a Mamdani. The "good" news is that he can't be much worse than most of other US big city mayors. I...

    You mean the "movie" Belicheat filmed of the Rams practices? One of the many asterisk SB wins.

    Things that annoy me

    People that make left hand turns at a 45-degree angle instead of 90 degrees causing them to cut across the opposing right lane. I see this all the time now. It's particularly dangerous at intersections where the person in the right lane has an obstructed view to the left.

    NCAA Football 2024

    LSU has apparently offered Lame Kiffin $100 million. This just after getting burned for $50 million with Kelly. This in a state where half the kids can barely read. If Ole Miss knows he is leaving, they should cut ties with him. Hopefully the moving trucks are backed up and ready to go...

    NCAA Football 2024

    If Lame Kiffin jumps ship at Ole Miss after this weekend, it will not be pretty. Like most college football coaches, he is a snake with no loyalty to his players. I think it is a 50-50 deal that he stays but if not ends up at Florida. Can't see him going to LSU. Ironically, USC fired him on...

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    Sounds like the Rams are in your head George. The Rams are playing great football. The best in the league. Stafford is having an MVP season. The entire team has a swagger. Injuries can change that but I like what I'm seeing. Home field against Philly or Seattle in the playoffs would be a...

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    The Rams are putting a beatdown on Tampa at halftime. With the Eagles choke loss, the Rams could be the top seed in the NFC. I can't believe the Ravens are leading in their division. The AFC is a shambles.

    The American Revolution by Ken Burns

    I think where historians miss the mark is not acknowledging that almost every event in early American history was driven by a desire to obtain wealth rather than some other guiding principle. It was not racism or conquest although those certainly existed. In many instances, racism or conflict...

    NCAA Football 2024

    USC has a chance to make some noise this weekend against Oregon which can only mean one thing. SC will be slaughtered. The USC defense is not very good. I can't tell you how many times I've watched an opposing RB disappear into a pile of USC defenders only to emerge on the other side like a...

    The American Revolution by Ken Burns

    It would be refreshing if some of these historians would provide a neutral buttssment of the conflicts with the Indians. The Indians would have slaughtered every European settler and other tribe had they the capacity to do so. They engaged in all manner of atrocities. Those atrocities...

    The American Revolution by Ken Burns

    I found the first episode a bit of a drag. Almost nothing new. Just a rehash of old tropes. The usual woke take on the Indians (peace loving people whose land was stolen). It's dry stuff given from the perspective of academic, Martha Vineyard's type historians with a desired narrative...

    NCAA Football 2024

    I don't see how any public university official has the authority to contractually obligate a school to pay tens of millions to a football coach they have fired. That should be prohibited by law. Penn St is closing numerous campuses around the state while paying $50 million to get rid of...

    Things that annoy me

    It's always been that way. The primary difference now is that it is very personal, and some people can't let it go. Politics has become all-consuming of their lives. It's like they are under some type of mind control that is the product of propaganda.

    When asked if it was appropriate to have a man in the Oval Office today who murdered a journalist and threw him into a woodchipper, Trump said "things happen."

    Trump has opined on McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: "I like the fish. I like it. You could do a little bit more tartar sauce, so please," Trump said while delivering remarks at the McDonald's Impact Summit 2025 in Washington, D.C. He added that he hates having to ask for more sauce.
