THE PBS NEWSHOUR

Welcome, nation. my guests tonight gwen ifill and judy woodruf ladies, why is your show so lame? why isn't more like msnbc or the fox not news? we try to present the facts and let our viewers decide but i want to tune in on friday night and see a steel cage death match between shields and brooks {stephen colbert}

WHAT'S BEING LEFT UNSAID

the obstinate obversion of 36 governors to set up state exchanges. my state exchange works fine. (as do others) governors-you refused medicare subsidies to subvert knowing the federal government would have a hard time delivering a "national" exchange in due time shame on you all... you want to deny health care to your constituents?

FRANKNESS

is usually a euphemism for rudeness (muriel spark) PS: you can call me frank

An Editorial Rant

Sequestration? A government shutdown? to be or not to be a debt ceiling change? do you know what really ails? disability payments to undesirables and the military industrial complex (and, oh yes, entitlement programs as we understand them) Answer? Don't look at me i only have questions

THE PLAZA HOTEL

wants the bike rack moved. it's an eyesore we can park a bentley in front but not our bike? FUCK YOU

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

Sounds nice- if it was inclusive. (nobody invited me to the table) Anyway-sounds like a deal is imminent 20 cents an hour plus retro for the 95 weeks X 20 cents per hour since the contract expired when (signed, sealed , delivered (little stevie) sushi is on me- :} PS:ready your chopsticks

CHARTER SCHOOLS

We do not give supermarket chains huge discounts to keep food prices low so poor people can eat. We do not keep health care costs low so low income or seniors can buy medical care. We have federally subsidized programs. The end user gets to choose. In our publicly funded school system-not the case i promote "charter schools" give me your voucher and we will educate your children. give me your voucher and another $1000 and we will educate your children. give me your voucher and i will rebate $1000 for clothes and pens and books. a market system under the auspices of the government. The teachers union doth protest? i am a member of a labor union. i hold a degree in secondary education from a prodigious university. This idea does not threaten you i think educators are well intentioned and good hearted... it's about our children. (a progressive libertarian)

i correct

a previous post there are some people i would like to embarrass (not here-not now) PS: as do we all

TACT

i am slowly, slowly oh so slowly... learning it. i did not share the previous on kenny g's facebook. i do not want to embarrass anyone but... let's get real! a gathering of prayer by facebook friends will make a difference? kumbaya. that worked well in the front of capitol hill just before we invaded iran didn't it? no wonder our federal government is closed. stay closed boehner, go have a cig and a merlot and a good cry...

Facebook Visit

today. a young mother asked us all to pray for her young daughter about to under-go heart surgery. Pray to whom? i am a graduate of a christian -faith based education, yet medical advancements and good doctors and nurses and other health care providers will make your daughter well (or not) do not ask me to pray for a diety to intercede it just adds to the problems in this world whose god is better? i wish well for your child and if she succeeds-lives and thrives thank the men and women whom made that possible (my secular rant) :)

hurricane hannah

filed a complaint against our charbroiler cook

he grabbed her arm and said "get away from my station"

they sent him home tonight

investigation pending...

later in the evening-i refused to assist her

( i called the manager over-look at her station)

"i will not work in a garbage dump"

if you fire him and retain her

i will seek other employment.

it is reverse discrimination

no one wants to stand up

no matter your "Handicap" all need to be held to a standard and if you can't- then leave.

i am afraid this is not going to turn out well, for the charbroiler cook

but,

i am not an a-rod fan tho' he does play for my favorite team

i think he has been treated unfairly compared to the other suspensions tho' further evidence could change my mind

it is right for him to appeal and the process will continue as per the CBA...

will appeal

and be in the starting line-up in chi-town

COMPLEX PROBLEMS

Require complex solutions. (untrue)

i once encountered a professor whom claimed-when faced with such a question

break it down to simpler components.

to espouse:

my brother asked, "how can a baseball team record 3 outs without

touching the ball?"

sey hey (willie mays)????

i was dumbfounded

Yesterday, perchance-was an article concerning the "infield fly rule"

h'mmm?

this wonderful mind (that we all possess) began to dance...

how can outs be recorded despite the fielder?

i have mentioned one. can an umpire signal another? yes

if a runner passes another

any other? no i do not think so

so

how else can an out be produced under such circumstance?

a ball batted into fair play that strikes a runner,,,

could all three happen in one circumstance?

i offer this:

Bases loaded- no one out. the batter lifts a high fly behind 2nd base.

the runner on 1st-(from his angle) believes the ball will fall in and runs full steam toward 2nd

the runner on 2nd from a secondary lead is half way towards 3rd but retrieves

because he believes the ball will be caught.

the umpire signals "infield fly" (batter out)

the runner at first passes the runner at 2nd (umpire signals-runner out)

the shortstop and second baseman play alphonse and gaston and back-off

the ball englishes after hitting the ground backwards and strikes the runner at 2nd before he can return to the base.

3 outs

and no one touched the ball.

PS: well, except the pitcher

whom delivered

to set this all in motion

GET TO KNOW A DISTRICT!

TONIGHT. Madison's fighting 2nd.

HAPPY VICE PARENT'S DAY, DAD

As a Dad, you are a vice-president. You are part of the executive branch of the family, but in your children's eyes, you mostly fulfill a ceremonial role of attending pageants and ordering pizza.
Your wife is bill clinton, and you are al gore. she "feels their pain" and you are the dork reminding them to turn off the lights. Being president mom is outside your pay grade or skill set. You can't breast feed, and don't know how to braid hair anyway. That's when you realize you not only have no idea what you are doing, you have become the"God help us if something happens to the president" vice president.

VIEWPOINT

"We don't live in the information age. That would be an insult to information,which,0n some level,is supposed to inform. We live in the communication age. Ten billion fingers fumbling away.

Unautocorrecting e-mails, texts, and tweets-each one an opportunity to offend, alienate, aggrieve,

all in public, and at light speed.

The misinterpretation age.

Take the language itself. Texting in English is like propelling a gilded horse -drawn carriage onto
the inter-state.

subtlety, nuance, and ambiguity were luxuries of a less frantic era.

And irony, a supposed hallmark feature, has become an invisible, odorless menace.

Irony now condemns us all to imagine that every e-mail or text might actually, secretly,

be poking fun at us.

it can now be reported, because it is in the paper, that saddam has weapons...

Rice gets called before the D.O.J.

and refuses to reveal her source.

She goes to jail.

Richard Armitage finally comes forward and says

i was the source...

talk about abuse of power

where was the finger pointing then?

America's Pastime

The other day, in Tampa Bay

a young girl was asked to throw out the ceremonial 1st pitch.

she took her place short of the mound(she couldn't reach from 60 feet six) and

was introduced as the rays catcher took his place behind the plate.

she threw a strike and the crowd cheered.

Then, the catcher removed his mask and smiled proudly.

He was her father-home on surprise from afghanistan.

Beautiful.

SPEEDBALL

Ever play the game? we did in high school. let me explain:

the game is played on a soccer field (futbol) for my spanish speaking friends.

the game is continuous no stops, no pauses,no whistles

the object is to put the ball into the net (a soccer ball)

you may move the ball by throwing it to a compatriot whom must catch it on the fly and run or throw

or by kicking it-which allows the ball to be caught on the fly or on 1 bounce.

drop the ball on throw or kick, or catch on 2 bounces or more-foul

the other team now controls and action returns the other way.

get my drift-comprende?

to score? 3 ways

throw the ball past the goalie and into the net= 1 point

kick the ball=2 points

run the ball past the goal line and into the net=3 points

O.K.

we are out at gym class 1 day at high school east and the other team drops the ball

i am closest- so i run towards and kick

the ball flew high and far (mr sterling)

i see the goaltender and david bauer (a gangly un-athletic socially stunted team member)

alone in front of the net as the ball is approaching.

the goalie attempts to catch-but david(much taller) tips the ball over his head and receives

he is now standing alone 10 feet from the net.

he hesitated. (i thought-"uh-oh")

he went to throw and then stopped-then dropped kicked

and clanged the ball off the goal post- action returned the other way...

(a few players fell to the ground in hysterical laughter)

after the game i asked david-"what were you thinking?"

"run the ball over the line=3!"

"i know i know" "all i could think was a kick was better than a throw"
"i got stressed"

i saw david at our high school reunion and reminded him of this story.

he laughed (he was dressed to the nines)

"do you know what's really funny mr.bauer"

(i graduated 37th in the class-david? 3rd) {of 750}

"look around - i'll bet my bottom dollar that you're the richest man in the room"

he smiled

demurely...

PS: some things never change-it's just the way it is

  i don't even remember being in the room...

PSS: i picked up a few things today and asked how much?


      said the cashier: 1958

     how appropriate...

Raise the minimum wage

or change the terminology (for political reasons) to a "livable" wage.

$10 per hour as the president has suggested seems about right.

"GOOD GOD!" scream free-marketeers "prices will soar"

excuse me. i work 2 jobs. 1 union-1 non-union.

at the market (union) prices are lower than at the public house (non-union)

How can that be?

Raising the livable wage to $10 an hour, according to economists,

will raise the average public house meal by:

10 cents

(i make a mac and cheese that sells for $14.99)

i think joe six pack and suzie pedicure would still pay $15.09

to have us wait on them, cook their meals and wash the dishes

and the house will continue to turn a profit.

PS: 70% of what america produces we sell to other americans (barbara garson)

     put more money in the working class heros hands and they will spend more

    a win-win for all

    it aint rocket surgery. i mean brain science.
