Random Thoughts

Once again, these are from notes I made and they never made it to a post….so I thought I would share them with my readers and get their input.

1–Being said of the Obama admin–they will leave the patriot act in place and put education on the back burner for now.

2–When did poker become a sport?  I missed that memo.

3–When did a car chase in Montana become national news–yet another missed memo, no doubt.

4–After all the socialist, communist, Marxist statement made by Republicans, a special instructor should be appointed to give remedial PoliSci 101 to them when they are in session.

5–Why did McCain lose?  I have been asked by several people and my standard answer is–He is BALD!  Americans have not elected a bald president since Ike.

6–Today it is called a financial rescue, tomorrow it will be called, “why daddy went to prison”.  Idea is thanks to Keith Olbermann.

7–Taxpayer is being treated like a mushroom–they are kept in the dark and fed sh!t.

8–Joe the Plumber skips a personal appearance to work on his new book….thinking….the book is destined to become like that fruit cake from Aunt Sally….save it for next year and give it as a gift.

9–Sarah Palin could get as much as $11 million for a book deal.  Goes to show that even a mental midget can find success as a writer.

10-My last note–Rush Limbaugh on his radio show has blamed Obama for the recession now in progress.  And Obama has not even been sworn in–pretty much indicate where Rush will be for the next 4 years, at least.

That is all for now…if you see something you want to comment on, please knock yourself out.

Olympic Whiners

First it was Mark Spitz whining about not being comped for a trip to see this other guy break his records for Olympic gold. Then we have the American gymnasts and coaches blaming the judges for the failure of an American to get a gold medal. Sorry, she screwed up in her routine, the judges did not do that.

And now we have the Swedish wrestler.

Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian threw down his greco-roman bronze medal in protest on Thursday after his bid for Olympic gold was ended by a decision denounced by the Swedish coach as “politics.”

Abrahamian took the bronze from around his neck during the medal ceremony, stepped from the podium and dropped it in the middle of the wrestling mat then walked off.

“I don’t care about this medal. I wanted gold,” he said.

A bitter Abrahamian, silver medalist at Athens 2004 who had high hopes of top honors in the 84kg competition in Beijing, announced he was quitting the sport.

“This will be my last match. I wanted to take gold, so I consider this Olympics a failure,” he said.

Geez what a bunch of flippin cry babies. I was not gonna comment on the Olympics because of the sheer boredom of having to watch such things as Badminton, table tennis, swimming, diving and the list goes on and on……But I had to rethink my decision after seeing all the whining done by athletes, past and present.  I guess the BS about good sportsmanship is just another of those urban myths.  It is all about winning, nothing else.  It is NOT about representing your country with dignity.  This is just sad, that society has come to this.
