The Joba Rules

They suck. Let this kid pitch already. Oh and by the way he hasn't been that impressive.

FIX THE MTA? What? IS MAYOR MIKE KIDDING AND WHAT TIMING TOO!

What a joke it for Mike Bloomberg, mayor of that fiscally draining NYC,to say that he wants to fix the MTA. His consituents never had it so good. they pay 2.50 to ride a system that could take them anywhere they want to go within the five boros of the city. Meanwhile those of us who are trapped on Long Island and all of the rest of the city's surrounding suburbs, have to pay fees that are deyond the type of service we receive in return. And the timing Mike, is this an election year? I forget but I think it is. i am touched by the Mayor's eagerness to fix the MTA which comes at a time well after they gave out nice raises to their, at best average work force, and after they forced this tax and service charge upon us syaing all along that they were broke. You know I used to get mad at these shows of concern by politicans who come hat in hand looking for you and telling you that they can make your life that much better every election year but now i know that its all a game that we must like watching because we say nothing about it everytime they shit on our heads, which is every year for three years after they've gotten your vote.

WHEN IT COMES TO INSTALLING HEALTH CARE REFORM WHAT WE NEED IS THAT GUY WHO DECIDES ON WHEN AND WHERE TO PUT UP A TRAFFIC LIGHT

WALTER CRONKITE

March 6th 1981, was the last time Walter Cronkite signed off to millions of viewers of the CBS Evening news and the last time American's saw what real broadcast journalism should be. Since his retirement (forced due to age) CBS has followed this legend with Dan Rather ( a legend in his own mind) and Connie and Katie, none have measured up to Walter's level and ability to make you feel as if you were sitting on your front porch listening to your favorite uncle tell you about the world, and no one yet to come will. What I remember most about Walter Cronkite was his ability to not let his emotions take over his responsibilty to the viewers, two events that come to mind are of course President Kennedy's death and the landing of Apollo 11 on the moon. Too many broadcast journalist have failed at the critical moment allowing themselves to become as big or bigger than the event they are covering. And lets not forget that only Cronkite could have told millions of viewers worldwide that the war in Vietnam should be ended with honor and not be looking for a new job the next day. Never agian will we see the likes of such a journalist and thats just the way it is for this day, July 17th 2009. Rest in peace Walter.

TAXING HEALTH CARE?

WHAT IS THE CONGRESS THINKING ABOUT?

At this very moment I sit here writing this blog our US Congress is holding hearings on, get this, why the University of Utah is not being called "National Champions" after going 13-0!!!!! Yes the University's President is testifying in front of congress asking them to over ride the NCAA choice for National Champions. I think this really makes the case for me that this country is gone, fallen off the radar of common sense and into the abyss of imbecility. With all that is going on both in this country and abroad not to mention the fact that we are embedded in the worst, yes worst economic crisis ever our congress is taking the time and our money to hold this bullshit hearing. At this very moment as the congress probes this great "injustice and scandal" we have young soldiers fighting and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq, many of whom will return, if they are lucky, to a country that will not give one shit about them and a University system that will ring them for every dollar they possess should they decide to get an education beyond high school. In fact the military in Afghanistan is in the middle of one of the biggest offensives since the Vietnam war and no one cares. The first thing that comes to my mind is that this hearing is beyond the belief of any normal thinking person(s). Then again we are talking about congress.

JOBA WHAT WENT WRONG?

I didn't think they grew them that stupid on the farm, but apparently they do. Thanks to Joba's stupidity Nebraska is going to see first hand a Big City Press and corporate damage control circus the likes its never seen. Not even when Tom Osbourne was running the show at the U of Nebraska. So my advise to Joba: PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR CORNFIELD!!
