Yesterday I said that game four was Steve Pearce’s lifetime moment when the journeyman utility player first tied and then won the game with his bat. The sonofagun hit two more homers in game five to become the World Series MVP! Meanwhile, David Price won his second game of the series by allowing only three hits in seven innings.
I’m not really a Red Sox fan, but I always feel that things are right when the team which is obviously the best in baseball wins the World Series. It indicates that there is sometimes order and justice in the universe.
The man our President calls “the great Lou Dobbs” has not been fired, although he has expressed similar ideas of his own. As you may know, “Soros” is a special synonym that neo-Nazis use because they can’t say “Jews” without severe repercussions. When they say “the State Department is occupied by Soros,” that is their way of getting “the State Department is occupied by Jews” into a public broadcast without facing a direct accusation of anti-Semitism (because they can deny that they meant anyone other than Soros, even though the point usually has no connection to anything Soros actually did or said). The term “deep state” is an even more cryptic and insidious way to say “Jews.” “Hollywood” is yet another.
What the hell is wrong with these guys? Dobbs’ hair dye must be seeping into his brain.
Dobbs brought in one of the customary wingnuts to say that “the Soros-occupied State Department” is funding the so-called immigrant caravans. (See below)
2. The term “Zionist-occupied government” is basically the official catchphrase of the neo-Nazi movement, and George Soros is their poster boy. In a way this is ironic, because while Soros was raised in a Jewish household, he is pretty much always at odds with Israel.
The Packers came very close to handing the Rams their first loss, but came up just a hair short at the end.
“Feel good” story: A fumble notwithstanding, Adrian Peterson looked like his old self. He rushed for 149 yards in a Washington victory, including a 64-yard TD.
You may or may not be able to see some lip there, but I guess we’ve already seen pretty much all there is to see. Back in the days of The Fappening, there was an alleged leak of her tickling the taco.
But it didn’t really matter that he was fact-challenged and memory-challenged, because that is true every day. It’s perhaps more important that he said, “We have our lives. We have our schedules. And nobody’s going to change it. So we’re here. And let’s have a good time.”
And thus the President brings healing to a mourning nation.
You think American politics is corrupt and crazy? Take a look at Brazil.
The streets are dangerous – Brazil has nine of the 25 most violent cities in the world. To put that into perspective, seven of those cities have a higher murder rate than Baltimore. The people want change so desperately that the outgoing president has an approval rating of only 2%. It seemed for a time that Brazilians would look at one of their past leaders, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to restore the order of a more peaceful time – until he had to drop out at the last minute to spend the next 12 years in prison on corruption charges.
With the people desperate for radical change, the ultimate result was an election devoid of moderates, pitting nutbags from both extremes against one another. The right triumphed.
No surprises, that I could see. Houston and Syracuse did enter the ranked group and Utah did move up seven spots. Sagarin’s computer rankings have one significant variation: the computer does not give Notre Dame much respect. The Irish are ranked 12th – below freakin’ Utah!
Next week is a good one in college ball. Eight of the top fifteen teams will be in action against each other, including #1 vs #4 (Alabama-LSU)
