Sunday Morning Coming Down

“[Thirty] seconds of direct sunlight injection to the anal orifice is equivalent to being outside in the sun all day!” From the New Post.

The Harvard -Yale football game was delayed because a demonstration at half time by students regarding climate change.  The Ivy League Championship was on the line for the Yale Bulldogs but the game will be remembered for the half time show that featured an on field walk on by approximately 500 students and 42 arrests. “They’re all supposed to be intelligent people. It looks like there’s a lot of common sense that has missed their generation,” said Chuck Crummie, 68, who attended the game with his son, a former Yale football player. “It goes to show that this generation is all about themselves and not a football game.” I suspect these types of protests may spread to other campuses. I was accidentally watching the game and saw the students "rushing" the field".  The sound was off and the action on TV switched to the WVU game.  The crawl on the bottom of the screen announced the Ivy League would be delayed. It's Sunday Morning, I almost understand what happ...

About forty years ago I took the Foreign Service Officer Test.  I passed but my score wasn't great and so I kept working for Miami Dade County. I've met two Ambassadors, who was smart, hard working, with some serious credentials in business, law and government service on the local and national level. Yes, you can become an ambassador if you are an ace at fund raising for the President but the job is more than attending soirees. In most countries with which it has diplomatic relations, the U.S. maintains an embassy, which usually is located in the host country capital. The U.S. also may have consulates in other large commercial centers or in dependencies of the country. Several countries have U.S. ambassadors accredited to them who are not resident in the country. In a few special cases–such as when it does not have full diplomatic relations with a country–the U.S. may be represented by only a U.S. Liaison Office or U.S. Interests Section, which may be headed by a ...

Today you can watch House all day long. “The patient may not be forthcoming with information secondary to embarrassment or possibly psychiatric issues,” the report said. “Providers must express empathy and compassion while maintaining nonjudgmental composure.” I had an uncle who was famous for colorful language. Be careful and don't lose stuff or you might really get an earful.

Saturday's $6,000,000 Classic at a mile and a quarter was to be an interesting race.  The morning line favorite was Mckinzie, trained by Bob Baffert. The winner was Vino Rosso trained by Todd Pletcher.  Unfortunately, the biggest story to come out of the race was the death of Mongolian Groom. "“If horse racing cannot be conducted in a safe and humane manner that protects the life and safety of horses and jockeys,” she wrote, “it may be time to reexamine the future of this sport in our state and in our country”, so says Diane Feinstein, Senator from California. Horses have broken down on the track and in races since they began racing.  I'm a fan of horse racing.  I have been a fan for a long time.  I know people who train race horses and care for race horses.  I've scrubbed horse's feed buckets, mucked out stalls, and watched horses recover from minor injuries like cuts ad bruises.  I've also seen the screen come out and horses vanned off ...

President Trump( through his Chief of Staff) had announced that his Trump International Golf Course would be the venue for a G7 Meeting in June. The Washington Post reported this morning that the president's golf course in was no longer the venue of choice for the G7 Meeting. "Trump was buffeted by two straight days of allegations of self-dealing and exasperation from lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including some Republican allies who said the selection of Doral as the venue for a gathering of world leaders was indefensible." How the Trump Resort was ever under consideration for the economic summit is a great question and how it was chosen is even a better question.  I would like to see the request for proposals (RFP or RFQ) by the government for the conference and meeting services. For security purposes the selection of a site is an important consideration.  Denver, Houston, Sea Island, Williamsburg, San Juan PR and Camp David have hosted previous meetings. No ...

Petersen, a former season ticket holder, wrote a letter to Penn State player Jonathan Sutherland saying that his hair looked "awful" and wished he were more clean-cut like players from years past. He also made a comment about "disgusting" tattoos. In an interview with the Tribune-Democrat posted Tuesday, 1966 Penn State graduate David Petersen said making a racial or cultural statement "was not the intent at all. I would just like to see the coaches get the guys cleaned up and not looking like Florida State and Miami guys." The obvious thing is you are entitled to have an opinion.  The New York Yankees have had an appearance "policy" for over forty five years that included short hair and no beards.  It works for them.  The Miami Marlins under Jeter banned facial hair in 2016 and lost 100 games this year. PSU is 5-0 in the Big Ten and the alumni should be happy.
