Ok NOW I understand why so many business’ that seemed to
sympathize with what my blog and Radio Show were hesitant to advertise in 2011
& 2012.
This week reminds me of the 1966 World Series between the
Baltimore Orioles &the LA Dodgers.
The Dodgers had made the trip to the post season in those
pre-playoff days regularly 1947 &featured one of the greatest 1-2 punches
in Baseball history with Sandy Koufax & Don Drysdale.
The Orioles on the other hand had never played in a world
series. Their one trip as the St. Louis
Browns was at the height of World War 2 when the best players were absent.
Conventional wisdom was the Dodgers would take the Orioles
apart and when journeyman Moe Draboskey
came in to relieve Dave McNallywith the bases loaded and nobody out in the 3rd
things looked grim.
Six innings later Draboskey& the O’s won Game 1 on their
way to a sweep of the vaunted Dodgers but were about to start their period as
one of the dominant teams of the American League.
Last week at this time President Obama was riding high,
Kelly Ayotte was under constant attack for her vote on Manchin/Toomey, Mark Sanford had just won election on sc-1
ensuring a flock of stories hurting the GOP and talk of the immigration bill
was not IF one would pass, but what type of bill would finally make it through
congress and how much it would hurt the GOP when it did.
Meanwhile the press was uninterested in Benghazi, the IRS
scandal was considered the paranoid ravings of tea party fanatics, and the
press knew that their love for Obama was returned.
A lot of things can happen in a week, and there is every
chance the media will pivot to something else if they can find an excuse to do
so.
One of the things people forget about the IRS scandal is the
multiplier effect. How many people didn’t
join the tea party, or give , or talk to other people about the tea party
because of fear of audits? This is the real scandal, the intimidation of
those opposed to this administration.
I wonder if the press that is upset about the chilling
effect of the AP being tapped understands this, or are they thinking: Serves you right.
The outrage of the press and congress on the targeting of the right is rather
amusing to me. For the last three years
they have called the tea party every name in the book, implied they were
violent astroturf (unlike occupy everwhere that was supposedly a wholly organic
peaceful movement that never
did a violent thing in their lives).
Let’s not forget the moment the Bombs went off in Boston the media was
speculating that it was the fault of right wing extremists.
If the press wants to blame someone over this they should
look in the mirror.
BTW do you think for one minute the IRS scandal happens if the
people involved thought for one moment the press would report on it before the
election?
Speaking of the Boston Bomber also known as the
young heartthrob of thousands of women.Jahar apparently left a note behind
in the Boat where he was taken detailing his grievances against the United
States for its
crimes against islam and calling the innocents killed “collateral damage”
I’d be angrier about those girls in denial over Jahar, if
the MSM wasn’t so much in denial about Islam.
Oh and speaking of another odd
coincidence:
Massachusetts
state police say they and the FBI are investigating a trespassing incident at
the Quabbin Reservoir but have no evidence of terrorism.
The central
Massachusetts reservoir supplies drinking water to Boston.
Why would
Terrorism even be suspected?
Procopio
said they are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore with addresses in
Amherst, Cambridge, Sunderland and Northampton, and New York City.
And the
explanation for being there at 12:30 AM?
The men
told police they are recently graduated chemical engineers curious about the
reservoir.
Oh I’m sure there is absolutely nothing going on that has anything
to do with any religion that doesn’t have anything to do with terrorism, or
even Cigarette
Smuggling.
Bob Woodward was on Morning Joe this week. We haven’t seen much of him lately since his
last clash with the administration. When
asked about Benghazi Woodward went off the reservation
again:
"You were talking earlier about kind of dismissing the Benghazi
issue as one that's just political and the president recently said it's a
sideshow," said Woodward. "But if you read through all these e-mails,
you see that everyone in the government is saying, 'Oh, let's not tell the
public that terrorists were involved, people connected to al Qaeda. Let's not
tell the public that there were warnings.' I hate to show, this is one of the
documents with the editing that one of the people in the state department said,
'Oh, let's not let these things out.' And I have to go back 40 years to
Watergate when Nixon put out his edited transcripts to the conversations, and
he personally went through them and said, 'Oh, let's not tell this, let's not
show this.' I would not dismiss Benghazi. It's a very serious issue. As people
keep saying, four people were killed. You look at the hydraulic pressure that
was in the system to not tell the truth, and, you know, we use this term and
the government uses this term, talking points. Talking points, as we know, are
like legal briefs. They're an argument on one side. What we need to get rid of
talking point and they need to put out statements or papers that are truth
documents. Okay, this is all we know."
Woodward got a lot of grief over hitting this administration
earlier this year. I wonder how much
payback was involved there.
Last week we had Dr. Paul Byrne on DaTechGuy on DaRadio
talking about Brain Death & Organ donation.
If you only listen to one of my shows.Listen
to this one.
A little more sports, How bad are the Houston Astros? As of May 16th just 41 games into
the season they are 4 ½ games behind the LA Angels.
That doesn’t sound so bad, until you realize the Angels are
11 ½ games out of first. Teams all over
the American League are just dying for the Astros to come to town, they’re a
winning streak just waiting to happen.
The same thing must be going on in the NL when Miami comes
to town.
The Boston Bruins made an almost impossible comeback against
the Toronto Maple Leafs to finish the first round of the NHL Stanly cup
playoffs. Down 4-1 in the 3rd
period they managed three goals to tie, two of them while playing with an empty
net , then eventually win in overtime.
Paying with an empty net when you are down is usually an act
of desperation. It’s rare that it works
to score once, it’s almost unheard of to have it work twice in one game.
That photo spread of Emma Watson made me feel VERY old.
Some Doctor Who news.
According to reports the season finale was accidently leaked to fans in
America when Blu Ray sets of 7th
season were shipped early accidently.
I tend to disbelieve it as during the week not a single
spoiler managed to make it on the net.
In this internet age that’s practically unheard of.
Me If I was a hacker wanting to take control of computers
I’d have had an infected torrent with the preview spliced into it as soon as
the news came out. I’d have control of
half of England’s internet by now.
See you next week.
