The air is cold and crisp, God has painted the landscape in shades of red, orange, and yellow, and the Halloween stores are open. That means... yes, you guessed it, football season!
Not a lot of exciting games this morning, from what I can see. Oakland vs. Houston? The Bucs vs. the Redskins? Chicago vs. Detroit? How do you get excited for games like that? It's almost like watching those Bum Fight videos - sure, it's funny to watch, but you kinda feel a little guilty for laughing.
The exciting matchup is, of course, tomorrow night: As 900-year old Brett Favre, making his 14,672nd consecutive start in the NFL, tries to lead the Vikings against the Green Bay Packers. Though it's been 883 seasons since he was not taken back by the Packers, setting in motion his centuries-long quest for vengeance, his anger still burns with the white hot heat of a thousand suns. Should be fun to watch.
But that's tomorrow. For today, let's just enjoy the hard-hitting, drunken stumbling, and incoherent rantings of this mornings Bum Figh... err I mean NFL games.
Good morning, all ya alls.

ReplyDeleteLooks like they'll be bringing out the field goal unit, John.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. They almost have to do that in this situation. It's a good call. Now, where is my Turducken, Al?
Of course, the big game of the week (for me, anyhow) is Monday night.
ReplyDeletePackers @ Vikings.
Favre has a chance to become the first player in history to beat all 32 teams !

#430 - He hit that gap at full speed.
In one of my fantasy leagues, my opponent and I have been playing "hide the lineup" all week by posting players we had no intention of starting, on bye, etc. Well, he just got locked out of making changes with no QB, no D, missing a WR, and starting the rest of his scrubs, heh.

But it is a noble and honorable number, Real.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing ok, even though the day got off to a rocky start.
Had to get the boy to church early for choir this morning. I figured I'd drop him off and have time to run homw and have a cup of coffee and round up the remaining offspring. The church is only about a half-mile from the house, and it takes at most ten minutes to get there, parked, and inside. But this morning they had a marathon and I couldn't get anywhere near the church. Long story short -- I had to take a TEN MILE detour to get to a place I can walk to in fifteen minutes.
I ended up staying; the remaining children got out of church today.

ReplyDeleteChange and Hope
Who offers a coherent systematic agenda of reform. What do most want? Not necessarily a Republican or Democrat, or at this 11th hour to be mired in messy issues like gay marriage (I’m opposed to it), but rather fundamental matters of finance, investment, and defense. Here are ten random suggestions; dozens more could be adduced.
1) Fiscal sanity that leads to federal spending freezes and a balanced budget that in turn soon allows a paying down of the debt.
2) An oil/nuclear/coal/natural gas rapid development effort (again, to exploit especially new fields in Alaska, California, the Gulf, and North Dakota) to tide us over until alternate energy and new conservation lessen dependence. The alternative is to dream on about “green jobs” while we go broke trying to pay for scarcer imported oil, and lose our autonomy in the next price hike or Mideast crisis, even as we suffer amoral rants from oil-rich unhinged thugs like Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Gaddafi, and Putin.
3) A new national consensus on security to decide that when and if we go to war, to see the effort through, on the principle that whatever the mistakes we commit in battle are far outweighed by the cost of defeat.
4) A bad/worse choice gut check reform on entitlements, especially concerning those unsustainable like Social Security and Medicare, that calibrates payouts in terms of incoming capital—whether by raising age eligibilities or curbing automatic cost of living hikes.
5) Clear, demarcated, and enforced national borders, and an end to illegal immigration through greater enforcement, employer sanction, border fortification, and a change in national attitudes about unlawful entry.
6) Zero tolerance on government corruption. There is no reason why someone like a Charles Rangel is still the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
7) Tort reform, including limits on personal injury settlements and loser-pays law suit reform.
8) A renewed commitment to national and regional missile defense, on the expectation that the next two decades are going to be terribly dangerous, as lunatic regimes may well threaten to hold an American city or ally as nuclear hostage.
9) Federal investment in hard infrastructure projects, not redistributive entitlements or Murtha-like earmarks, such as freeways, dams, water projects, electrical grids, ports, rail, etc., with regional needs adjudicated by national bipartisan boards.
10) A move to lower taxes, preferably by alternatives to the present income tax system, whether by a consumption tax or flat taxes, calibrated to commensurate spending cuts.

ReplyDeleteIn China, the Red Flags Still Fly for Mao ...
This Oct. 1, the elaborate parades — and tight control — returned. I watched from the United States as China’s leadership orchestrated a huge celebration to showcase its wealth and military prowess — while the familiar red flags flew over the capital. Tens of thousands of policemen and volunteers were sent in to maintain security. The party tried to control the weather and even regulate the movement of pigeons. Dissidents were under surveillance or in jail. I couldn’t help but think that while China has made great material progress over the last 30 years, Mao is still clearly the patriarch of the Communist Party.

Black Panther Answers ‘Overdue’
ReplyDeleteThe Chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, Gerald A. Reynolds, has sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder seeking answers to their questions about a voter intimidation case in Philadelphia involving the New Black Panther Party (NBPP). It considers the responses "overdue."
The letter, dated September 30, 2009, is seemingly an unprecedented action. It asks for Mr. Holder to "instruct Department officials to fully cooperate" with the Commission's investigation, as required by federal law.
The correspondence noted that the Commission still has not received any of the documents they requested in their initial June inquiries. It has questions surrounding the "unusual decision" by the DOJ to dismiss the case against two of the three defendants and the equally unusual injunction obtained against the third defendant.
It needs this information because the Commission is responsible to investigate voting rights deprivations and evaluate federal enforcement of federal voting rights laws. They want to form an independent opinion about the DOJ's enforcement actions and the potential impact on future voter intimidation enforcement. It may also try "to determine whether any decisions in the case were induced or affected by improper influences."
The communication reminded Mr. Holder that Congress mandates that, "all Federal agencies shall fully cooperate with the Commission to the end that it may effectively carry out its functions and duties." It wants Mr. Holder to identify the person responsible for complying with the requests.
/put this one on your Obama scandal calendar, it should be big, someone in the Obama administration is protecting the Black Panthers
Is there some personality conflict that we all need to be aware of?
ReplyDeleteWell my other personalities often give me trouble, but right now they're at home tied up in a sack in the attic. Or at least that's where I think they are.

Gerry Reynolds won't back down, but he'll do it in a way that is very subtle and effective. He is a sharp guy (and a really nice guy too -- I tried desparately to make him our university president, but his wife didn't want to move.)
ReplyDeleteThere's lots o' room under the bus. Obama's administration is nothing if not "diverse and inclusive."
ReplyDeleteHey O.R. - I'll take that bet; I just can't see Obama chucking Eric Holder under the bus as easily as he did Jeremiah Wright for example.
ReplyDeleteIF he does try, however, I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear Holder start talking about how the DOJ has to be free from interference by the Executive Branch. This could blow up BIG.

Permanent Campaign, indeed......
ReplyDeleteThe Olympics, Obama, and the Permanent Campaign
This is the permanent campiagn. We have talked about its imminence for years. Well, now it's here and this is what it looks like. This is what a President does in it. Previous Presidents would only put themselves out there in this kind of diplomatic situation if there was no more campaigning, lobbying, and cajoling to be done. But this President sees himself above all as the chief campaigner, lobbyist, and cajoler. That explains so many of the ways in which the Obama Presidency differs from previous administrations (Democratic and Republican alike), and it also explains why we should not be so shocked by this result. This particular campaign failed.
Dinner's ready - BBIAW
ReplyDeleteWhat's the deal with the Titans? They are looking at 0-4!
ReplyDeleteThis could blow up BIG.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope so.
Also, on a unrelated side note. Am I the only one who thinks it will be funny if, sometime during this term of office, that a harmless small animal gets real close to Obama and he panics, thinking it wants to attack him?
or should I just go ahead and feel guilty for wanting that?
What's the deal with the Titans? They are looking at 0-4!

I few Air India once. In 1979 I was on a tour in Europe. We were supposed to fly back from London to New York. As was common on those sorts of tours, they put you on whatever planes they could find slots on. The problem was that while we were en route to Heathrow, all hell broke loose in Iran, and anyone with an American passport on any Air Iran jets was booted. This led to an avalanche of people being bumped off flights and general insanity.
ReplyDeleteAfter some scrambling, seats were found for my little subgroup of eight on an Air India flight. We stood on the tarmac after the plane had filled up, and an agent held out boarding passes like a deck of cards and said "pick one and hurry -- the doors are about to close."
It was a typical wet foggy London night. I pulled my boarding pass and went up the ladder.
When I got to the top the stewardess pointed me towards my seat. While my compatriots were ushed to the back (which smelled like a goat and sounded like a TB ward) I was escorted into first class. No sooner did I sit down than a glass of champagne was placed before me.
It turned out to be one of the finest, most luxuriant flights I've ever taken. And by the time I got to New York I was so well lubricated that I was absolutely bullet proof. I got on my connectint TWA flight to Chicago and partied with the stewardesses the whole way back. They had also been coming back from Europe and dealing with the chaos and needed to let off some steam.
Everyone, including all the flight crews, had a wonderful time.
/I smell Playoff!

Later Real. Always nice to see you.
ReplyDeleteOK, that could get annoying.
ReplyDelete/not any more!
And Hey, congrats on the Bosox taking second place!
ReplyDeleteIt's alright. We just gotta wait for A-Rod to come up big in the playoffs like he usually does, and then the Sox are all set ;)
/not any more!
ReplyDeleteOK, did anyone bring the clue bat? I need to borrow it.

I don't think C2 has a Clue Bat yet. Would you care to buy one for us?
Just love seeing our good man say Hope you all have a GREAT DAY and that I get the chance to see you all down the road. Yes, SIR!
ReplyDeleteOne nice thing about being a Cubs fan -- I usually don't have to worry any more about Baseball this time of year and can focus on football.

ReplyDeleteAnd, they ain't won shit since they elected Hillary. heh.
I have to say, I am a little concerned about the Sox starting pitching though. All of a sudden we can't seem to get anyone out. I know it's a little thing, but that could become kind of important.
ReplyDeleteI know it's a little thing, but that could become kind of important.
ReplyDeleteYeah. True enough. Sometimes I think the whole "getting people out" thing gets lost among all the more important things in the game.
I would be glad to Erik, but I can't wield it like Mandy.
ReplyDeletebut I can't wield it like Mandy.
ReplyDelete/not anymore!
Wait... what..?
Flacco intercepted at the NE 9. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteRB, lol.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just woke up from her nap, so I gotta go. Later!
ReplyDeleteOK, did anyone bring the clue bat?
ReplyDeleteYay. A weapons thread.
Bucs are holding 10-3, 3rd.
/But I'm not holding my breath, yet.
See ya, B&B!

Nor am I, but they are not looking that bad today. It's that or the Redskins are just playing worse. :)))

ReplyDeleteJason Campbell is just getting warmed up, and ready to UNLEASH HELL!!!!

Hey Sas, what is the WNBA? How the heck are you today. Any sign of DEZ?
Afternoon!
ReplyDelete*sigh*
I love fooseball.

ReplyDeleteWashedup NBA. NBAers playing golf.
a)We've got Dr. J vs. Barkley.
The good money is on anyone playing Barkley.
b)I'm half lit.
c)No sign of DEZ. Man, I hope he's OK.
Don't have his e-mail,though.
Sas, I sent him a email. Have not heard anything back yet.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting a buzz on. I am about to open my second beer.:)))
Damn game 10 all. Bucs vs Skins. :(((
ReplyDeleteSkins missed the extra point kick. 10-9 Bucs.
ReplyDeleteMiss Trixie, I don't think I've said hi to you specifically in this new place. Hi.
ReplyDeleteTwins stomping ass, White Sox sneaking up on Detroit late.
ReplyDelete/is the outright Division win too much to ask for?
Erik...
ReplyDeleteNor am I, but they are not looking that bad today. It's that or the Redskins are just playing worse. :)))
The kicker isn't doing too well. Should be 16-9 Bucs.
It appears that Josh is going to come of age right before our eyes (I hope). Looks good for his first time.
And, as typically usual, Rhonde Barber is the only one playing with everything he's got.
Hey boys! Where's the FIRE?! Dammit!
Whoa! Hi Miss Trixie! {MissTrixie}
ReplyDeleteGood to see you.
/is the outright Division win too much to ask for?
ReplyDeleteKillian, yes it is. Tigers will take the Sox.
I don't think I've greeted you yet, Miss Trixie! Welcome to our humble abode!
ReplyDeleteSpencer - Dud! Glad to see ya and thanks for the nice words.
ReplyDeletegettinby - Hiya, toots! What are you up to? I'm futzing around the kitchen putting together a Mulligatawny soup. Roasted a chook last night and the remains are destined for the soup pot.
Whoopsie! I meant DUDE. Apologies, Spencer.
