Well the Cowboys seem to have righted the ship. Then again, it was the Giants. Your NHL winners were Boston, Ottawa, Nashville, and Phoenix (who are actually looking dangerous this year).  The Nats visited the White House after their World Series win over my beloved Astros.  And “journalists” on the left are finally embracing the “shut up and play” philosophy they derided as racist in the past. But its cool. They’re only telling that to white and “white-adjacent” players.  Christ, what a bunch of hypocrites.

Cowboy (and roast beef maker) Roy Rogers was born on this day. As were possibly the most beautiful actress ever (and a sexual freak on top of that!) Vivien Leigh, wife-beater Ike Turner, musician Art Garfunkel, rocker Gram Parsons, cager Bill Walton, Canadian person Bryan Adams, creepy-looking actress Tilda Swinton, actor Sam Rockwell, baseball player Johnny Damon, least favorite golfer on tour Bubba Watson, and Spanish beauty Eva Gonzalez.

Well, enough of that. Now on to…the links!

At some point Oberlin’s legal counsel needs to step in and tell school admins to shut the fuck up. Because this is how you end up with a second suit.

Trump appears to be doing well in key battleground polls. Expect the Dems to course-correct after this and veer back to the middle.  LOL, obviously that’s a joke.  They’ll just find a bigger audience to promise free shit to. And Nancy will shake her head knowingly.

I’m willing to bet this idea will go over well with office workers everywhere. It makes perfect sense, tbh. I’ve never understood an 8-hour workday anyway. Lots of productivity left on the table and the rewards of an additional day off has to be a good incentive for people to push themselves.

Uber keeps doing what Uber does best: burn through a mountain of cash. But never fear, investors. They’ll make up for it on volume.

I’m just not sure they’re this good. Don’t get me wrong, they’re pretty damn good. But they’re not that good.

An Oklahoma jury does their job. These verdicts are pleasantly becoming more common. Thank God for body cams and common sense.

Not sure how gun-control advocates are gonna spin this one. But I’m sure they’ll try.

More love for the 80’s ladies this week. Bask in it.

That’s it, friends. Liverpool play this afternoon and there are some other big UCL matches. I’ll be tuning in on the radio as I figure out how to move two cattle trailers that are stuck in a field.

Well talk about a crazy sports weekend.  The Patriots lost (hooray!) to the Ravens (booooo!). The Steelers won and should be commended for hanging in there this year. The Texans smoked the Jags in London. The Bills topped the hapless Redskins. The Chefs beat the Vikings in a hell of a fun game. The Jets are a fucking joke after losing to the Dolphins. The Iggles topped the Bears. Carolina righted the ship against Tennessee. The Raiders beat the Lions and continue to be an enigma. The Seahawks had to go to overtime to beat the Bucks. The Browns shit the bed again against the Broncos. And the Chargers packed in the Packers’ fudge.

On the college front, there wasn’t much action at the top of the rankings. Florida State fired Willie Taggert after failing miserably for a year and a half. USC is about to do the same to Clay Helton (and rumor has it they’re eying Urban Meyer), Notre Dame was on the brink of thinking about it until the last minute of their game, and TTUN hasn’t reached the decision stage for their coach…that happens right after Thanksgiving.

Oh yeah, and if you’re a rugby fan, you missed the Springboks absolutely laying the wood to England in the World Cup final.  I woke up at 4 to watch what I thought would be a crapshoot at best and was pleasantly surprised at the victory.

Will Rogers was born on this day. As were newsman Walter Cronkite, actor Art Carney, actress Doris Roberts, controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, First Lady Laura Bush, stunning and brave comedienne Kathy Griffin, Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, and Lincoln pitchman Matthew McCounaghey.

OK, that brings us to…the links!

Property taxes mean you never really own your property. What makes it even worse is once you’re behind, they all but make it impossible for you to catch back up.  “Minnesota nice” apparently doesn’t extend to government.functionaries.

I’m sure proponents of a nationalized health care plan will wave this off. Or they’ll consider it a feature not a bug.  Either way, it won’t deter them from trying to impose this hellish system on us.

If geese are hate birds (the birds that hate), then Australian raptors have decided to one-up them.I don’t know what to think about this, other than “man, is there any species on that island that isn’t fucked up?”

Obituary writers everywhere sharpen their pencils to describe the life of Ronan Farrow ahead of his impending suicide. He had a good run, but the strain got to be too much for him as he plans to shoot himself in the back of the head twice.

“Oh well, if you didn’t want to end up in jail you shouldn’t have been drinking at all. Legal limits are just a guideline anyway.” Or something like that. Either way, this shouldn’t come as a shock to anybody.

Don’t shit where you eat. And that’s true even when the McRib (which is undoubtedly the fast food served in heaven) is on the menu.  Seriously, why can’t these people ever learn? Even if its consensual, nothing good can come from it.  Nothing at all.

Don’t ask why I chose this, just enjoy it.

That’s it, folks. Sun’s up early, there’s reason for hope. Have a great start to the week.

It’s cold here in Houston. Damn cold. 34 degrees is unacceptable.  Man, global warming is bullshit.

New Zealand have dispatched Wales in the RWC third-place game. Grand Final tomorrow around the same time (let’s go Springboks!). Not sure if that’s Saturday or Sunday. Thanks a lot, International Date Line. Baylor remained undefeated while App State fell off the list. And on the ice, your winners were Calgary and Montreal.  And in the NFL, the 49ers stayed undefeated thanks to Kliff Kingsbury’s “unorthodox” coaching moves for the Cardinals.  Yikes! That was some serious stupidity.

Lou-, Lou-, Lou- Louis th-, th-, th-,  the Stammerer was born on this day. As were author Stephen Crane, sportswriter Grantland Rice, golf legend and one of the nicest guys in the world “The Black Knight” Gary Player, businessman and philanthropist Charles Koch, free speech and titties advocate Larry Flynt, Hebrew country legend “Kinky” Friedman, wrestling manager Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, electronics exec Tim Apple, and anti-vaxxer with a nice rack (at one time) Jenny McCarthy.

A solid list there. Especially Gary Player.  May he live to be 150.  Anyway, on to…the links!

The House of Representin’ has voted to move to “the next phase of the impeachment inquiry”. I guess the previous stages didn’t require a vote, since this is the first one.  I hope McCarthy sticks to his word and subpoenas Adam Schiff. That should be a TV-worthy shitshow.

Trump changes residency to Florida citing “high taxes and poor treatment” as his reasons. Good for him, even though he’s a bit late to the party as scores of extremely wealthy New Yorkers have been doing so for years.  Of course, leftards are going batshit, but that’s not surprising.

Chicago continues to be an unsafe shithole. Indiana to be blamed in 3…2…1…

When “Don’t Tread On Me” is taken to the extreme. I don’t get people that keep these pets.  I never will.

Deadspin is dying. Jeez, David Portnoy is gonna have a huge domestic staff now. (Context)

You want a NHS-style health care system? This is what you get with a NHS-style health care system. Well, that and the Liverpool Pathway. And excessive wait times for basic services. And shitty care. And no innovation. And a host of other deplorable side effects.

Yes, folks. We are ending the week with an absolutely fantastic song. I won’t accept any debate on it either.  It’s just wonderful.Now go have a great Friday and an even better weekend.

The Nationals won on the diamond last night in the only scheduled MLB game. Your hockey winners were Tampa, Edmonton, St Louis, Montreal, Florida and Vancouver.  And across the pond, ManUre knocked Chelski out of the League Cup and Liverpool did the same to Arsenal on penalties after an incredibly entertaining 5-5 draw. Although Klopp isn’t thrilled with the potential quarterfinal scheduling.

Dutch master Jan Vermeer was born on this day.  As were poet John Keats, Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low, Chinese leader Chang Kai-shek, habitual liar Dan Rather, actor Michael Landon, comedic actor and brother Brian Doyle-Murray, funny man John Candy, football coach Nick Saban, and human hobbit hybrid Peter Jackson.

That’s a decent list. Now on to…the links!

NYT looks for a “gotcha” moment. Gets punked by the person they were hoping would be outraged.

WaPo is not a big fan of race-mixing when it comes to religious music. They hope they can keep those musical and religious negroes in their place.

Facebook and Instagram take a step closer to going full retard. Didn’t anybody tell them you never go full retard?

 This is why you don’t try to cook while you’re traveling on a freaking train. Man, that’s incredibly sad.

What an idiot. Lucky for him Ilhan Omar has an opening on her staff.

The tuition “scandal” claims another victim. Meanwhile, people like de Blasio’s son continue to get into Ivies on their “merits”. Sure thing.

And in the latest version of “gee, who couldn’t have seen this coming”, I present you with this little nugget from the middle east. Yeah, what a shock.

A great song by a band with shitty politics. But that was most of that generation, so I can get past it.

Anyway, have a great day, friends. Happy Halloween.

Well the Astros blew it last night. But like I said yesterday, everybody wants a Game 7 anyway. Across the pond, the Carabao Cup games pretty much went according to plan. A couple of big boy matchups today. Let’s see what kind of team each of them put out there. And in hockey, the winners yesterday were Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh, Carolina, NYR, Detroit, Nashville, Dallas and Anaheim.

Explorer (and exploiter, appropriator, genocidal maniac, and enslaver – WaPo) Christopher Columbus was born on this day. So were founding father John Adams, Admiral Bull Halsey, poet Ezra Pound, actor Henry Winkler, actor Harry Hamlin, soccer legend and cocaine aficionado Diego Maradona, and heir-apparent to the coming dictatorship Ivanka Trump.

Actually a decent list today.  Now on to…the links!

Preemption, bitch!  At least that’s how I would have stated it were I this judge.  But that can cut both ways down the road, so I hope these kinds of idiotic ordinances start getting struck down because they’re unconstitutional rather than on procedural grounds.

Want to read some stupid ass shit? Here’s some stupid ass shit. But in a way they’re right: a lot of people would be happy to join a mob of bandits. They’d be even happier if they could safely outsource all the violent heavy lifting.

Here’s a lesson on why you should never apologize. Actually, this company learned that lesson twice in one day. God, I hate griefers. I hate em with the fire of 100 suns.

Somehow I doubt she’s being honest here. But I’ve doubted that about her all along.

California continues its march toward the Middle Ages. What’s next, medieval diseases coming back that were eradic…oh yeah, that’s happened too.

Covington Catholic II: Electric Boogaloo. Man, I’m not sure I want to live in a world where your fans can’t taunt opponents. But this may have gone a little over the line.

Regardless of what happens with the baseball, this will be how I feel today. I hope some of you can say the same.

Now go have a great day!

Nice planning, NHL. You take the day when MNF has a pair of scrubs on and there’s no World Series game and you schedule…two games? The Canucks and Sabres won those contests, in case you were interested.  Oh, and that MNF game was won by the Steelers.  Because the Dolphins are just horrible.

Anyway, the aforementioned fall classic is back tonight. Fingers crossed there’s no game 7. Nobody wants a game 7.

Motivational speaker and author Joseph Goebbels was born on this day (hat tip to WaPo for the descriptor).  As were painter Bob Ross, actor from Jaws, which was a great film regardless of what OMWC says, Richard Dreyfuss, Canadian hockey legend Denis Potvin, The Cure’s Roger O’Donnell, wonderful actress but terrible shoplifter Winona Ryder, and voice actor Dan Castellanata.

Well, here we go.  Hope you’re ready for…the links!

This story is FAB-U-LOOOOOOOUS!!!!!! ::jazz hands::  I’m happy the idiots above him were exposed. I’m not happy the taxpayers will suffer.

We’ll all be crying for Argentina in a few years when the failed policies lead to Venezuela-like conditions.

Millennials: the stupidest fucking generation ever. That’s really all I can say.

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

NSA official listening in on call between Trump-Ukraine raised concerns. Wait, why is a spy agency listening in on calls between heads of state again?

Seriously, this is why I’m about to homeschool. Its not our ISD, but its the one next to us and ours will probably get some bright ideas from this shit.

I’m sure there are a few of you that expected this song.

That’s it, friends. Have a great day.

The Astros have come back to life after a disappointing start to the World Series and are now on the brink of winning it all again.  Game 6 is tomorrow night.Meanwhile, Ohio State hasn’t had a disappointing anything all year and thy pounded the absolute shit out of Wisconsin. LSU topped Auburn, Oklahoma was upset and Notre Dame got drilled by TTUN.

In the NFL, the Seahawks, Eagles, Chargers, Lions, Titans, Colts, Rams, Saints, Jags, 49ers, Texans (poor JJ Watt), and Packers won. The Steelers play the Dolphins tonight in a game that’s sure to thrill hundreds of people somewhere in Yinzerland.

And way over in Japan, where it’s sometime tomorrow right now or something, England stunned (and beat the shit out of) the All Blacks and South Africa used an aerial bombardment to take down Wales. They’ll meet Saturday in the Final, although I think that’s actually Sunday. But I can’t be sure.  Either way, I’ve gotta get up at 3 am to watch it.

Erasmus was born on this day. As were hated pupped Gordon Shumway, polio-eradicator Jonas Salk, F1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone, olympian Bruce Jenner, high-school graduate Bill Gates, actress Daphne Zuniga, actress Julia Roberts, and harelip Joaquin Phoenix.

OK, now on too…the links!

The editors at WaPo might be the dumbest people in the world.

This is what you get for assuming the gender of an unborn baby.

The Kinky Congresswoman is resigning. I assume it’s to spend more time with her “family”.

Now this warms my heart. Seriously.

More blackouts coming to a California city near you. Well, only those of you still crazy enough to live in that state.

And Brexit continues to be a shitshow sabotaged by members of its own government and the bureaucrats in Brussels. Big shocker there.

Yeah, I’m back on the New Wave kick. I apologize in advance for nothing.

Go have a great day, friends!

The Astros laid the wood to the Yankees last night. And JV is on the hill tonight to start game 5.  Here’s hoping the next Houston home game is World Series Game 1.The Chiefs won, but at what cost? The NBA and ESPN continue to polish China’s ballsack in the hopes they’ll be forgiven.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday that the league is already dealing with “fairly dramatic” financial consequences from Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey’s support of Hong Kong’s anti-government protesters.

Uh, no. you’re dealing with he consequences of the unreasonable reaction of an autocratic regime that won’t tolerate any form of dissent or expansion of liberty. Not from a tweet.  But keep polishing that Chinese knob. Maybe you’ll get lucky and they’ll forgive a guy for a tweet that offended them. And then maybe they’ll put your games back on the air. You know, because that’s how a reasonable government would react. (Insert eye-roll emoji here)

Birthday boys and girls for today are: musician Chuck Berry, actor George C Scott, legendary sportscaster Keith Jackson, actor Peter Boyle, sharpshooter marksman Lee Harvey Oswald, football legend Mike Ditka, tennis goat Martina Navritalova, and god of the silver screen Jean-Claude Van Damme.

OK, on to…the links!

Looks like an antifa protester with a gun was arrested at the Trump rally in Dallas last night. See, this dude was smart. If he’d have just stayed home with a gun, a Dallas cop might have just walked by and shot him dead.

Ah yes, the integrity of the UN Human Rights Council continues to be beyond reproach. LOL, its as if they’re not even trying to be taken seriously.

Florida Man doing Florida Man things. First hint it was Florida? The cops were called to Dick King Road to investigate.

Mexico release El Chapo’s son for no reason. Oh wait, they have a reason: so the cartels will stop killing innocent people.  Uh, maybe y’all should just legalize all the damn drugs and stop fighting a war with these people.  Also, releasing convicted criminals so their followers won’t indiscriminately kill people is an interesting play. I’m sure this won’t be abused in the future.

Don’t tease us like this! It’s overdue anyway, but don’t get our hopes up.

Who. The. Hell. Cares? “Hey, we’re equal to you!” “Hey, we’re special. Look at me! Look at me!!!!!” I mean, this shit’s been done a thousand times. Welcome to the club, I guess.

LATE ADDITION: This “hate crime” thing has officially jumped the shark. Hat tip to Brett L for finding this gem.

There shouldn’t be a single one of you that complains about this song.  If you do, you’re dead to me.

That’s it, folks. Enjoy the ALCS hopefully wrapping up today as well as the Buckeyes playing on Friday.  Yes, they got sent to a Friday game. Nice job, Big Ten. AH, don’t get me started. Go enjoy the weekend.

Well, half the World Series is set. Congratulations Nationals for reaching uncharted waters. The Astros also won to take a 2-1 series lead against the Yankees.  There supposed to play game 4 today but that might not happen if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Oh well, an extra day’s rest for JV and Greinke means one less start by someone else.

The Maple Leafs beat the Wild. Y’all were right, they do suck.  Other winners were: Tampa, Phoenix, Calgary, Vancouver, Nashville, and Carolina. In other things, Lebron stepped on his dick even more before saying he wouldn’t speak about the situation (in China) anymore. And the USMNT lost to Canada, which is fucking humiliating. Time to scrap the national team altogether and save us the national embarrassment.

The dictionary guy Noah Webster was born on this day.  So were: pervert Oscar Wilde, first Israeli PM David Ben-Gurion, Irish revolutionary Michael Collins, actress Angela Lansbury, annoying announcer Tim McCarver, actress Suzanne Summers, comedic director David Zucker, actor Tim Robbins, bassist Flea, and Ohio State fan (and baseball player) Bryce Harper.

OK, on to…the (debate-free) links!

Looks like Brett Kavanaugh’s type of judges. Question: why are people being charged with misconduct for engaging in a perfectly legal activity (like getting drunk and enjoying White Castle)?

Its time to put up or shut up on Hong Kong. I’m anxious to see how many of our so-called leaders really stand for freedom.  I expect to be disappointed.

Pelosi opts to continue the kangaroo court rather than open a legitimate impeachment inquiry. Because nothing says fair and impartial like preventing the other side from calling witnesses or having access to the alleged witnesses.

The rats are taking over the Big Apple. This isn’t a metaphor. I mean no-shit rodents, not deBlasio and his lackeys.

The Anaheim Angels (of Los Angeles) are imploding over the Tyler Skaggs situation. I don’t know what’s next, but I’m curious to see if anybody in the organization survives this without losing their job or going to prison.

What the fucking fuck?!?!?!?! That’s it, no spoilers.

Here’s something to enjoy.

Now go have a great day, friends!

The Nationals are on the brink of sweeping the Cardinals. This surprises me, even though it shouldn’t.  Also, the Cards have scored 1 run in three games so far in the NLCS. Kinda makes it tough to win when you don’t score.  The Packers added to Detroit’s misery last night. And your hockey winners were: Borston, Florida, NYI, Buffalo, Colorado, Chicago, and the MINNESOOOOOOOOOOOOOODA WIIIIIIIIIIIIILD! Ah, it felt good to finally get to say that.

The Roman poet Virgil was born on this day. As were: German philosophizer Friedrich Nietzsche, American boxing champ John L Sullivan, writer P.G. Wodehouse, writer Mario Puzo, automaker Lee Iacocca, filmmaker Penny Marshall, baseball legend Jim Palmer, actress Tanya Roberts, skateboarder Stacy Peralta, chef Emeril Lagasse, and businessman Jack Ma.

OK, on to…the links!

LeBron James is a selfish, arrogant and uneducated assclown. That’s all I got on that.

Michael Bloomberg is keeping his options open. Seriously. This isn’t a joke.

Um….yeah. This isn’t gonna go over well. Also, it can’t have been very fun to watch. Half the fighters wouldn’t have known what was going on. And the other half would have just fallen asleep in the corner.

The Ft Worth cop who shot an unarmed woman in her home for no reason has been charged with murder. In Chicago, he’d have gotten a medal.

Christ, what an asshole. Dude could have driven to a station much closer and cut down on his carbon footprint.

You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookies numbers. Come on, Mother Nature.

Hunter Biden opens up. And a bag of cocaine probably fell out.

Thanks to a few of the founders, I’m subjecting y’all to the same ear worm they subjected me to yesterday.

That’s it. Have a great day. Go Astros!
