Not proud to admit it,

but I do watch some sports on TV, when I can't find something better to do. Part of it is cuz I can relate to the intensity and combination individual and team effort needed to win. Not that winning is EVERYTHING, but it sure beats losing. That said, this week had two of the most amazing games I've ever seen. First, the Broncos won, after being down 15-0, with less than 3 minutes left in the game. NEVER happened before, in the long history of the NFL. Last night, the Cards beat the Rangers in the best, most exciting baseball game that I have ever seen. After being close all the way, in a game that could end the series if St Louis loses, the Cardinals had two outs and two strikes, and were two runs down, in the bottom of the ninth, when Freese hit a triple to score two and send it to extra innings, where Texas scored two in the top of the tenth, and St Louis was again down, with two outs and two strikes. They came through again, to send it to the 11th, where home town guy, Freese, hit a walk off homer, to send the series to a 7th game for the first time in 9 years. Amazing action, if you like that kind of stuff, which I do.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
