Say What, Now?

Hello My Dear Friends! After yesterday's spectacular Buffalo Bills win over the, shall we say, sad New York Jets, I was stunned to read about 8-year old Elijah Burrell. Elijah was playing in his first season of Peewee Football. His team, the Lawrenceville Black Knights, were winning 32-0 in the 4th quarter when Elijah intercepted a pass and ran it in for a touchdown! The first touchdown of his little life. It's one of the most exciting plays in football, the Pick-6, but there was no joy for Elijah or his team. Why? Because the touchdown put his team up 38-0, violating the league's 33 point "mercy rule". Not only was Elijah's touchdown eliminated, his team was fined $500 and his coach was suspended! Of all the stupid *$%^&# things I've ever heard, this is by far the most insane. Apparently in Georgia it's okay to beat a team 32-0 but 33-0 is a crime. It's not like the team scored on purpose. It wasn't a planned play. Apparently, little Elijah, in the heat of the moment, was expected to intercept the ball and kneel down so as not to embarrass the other team. How on earth is an 8-year old supposed to know that? Well, lesson learned. Wussification complete!
Former FLOTUS, Senator & Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was speaking to a group in support of Massachusetts Gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley when she dropped this head-scratching little gem:, "Don't let anybody tell you that, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs". Really, Mrs. Clinton? I'm pretty sure it is but you would know better than me.
Okay. Political commercials are nothing but crap, however, a few that are running around here are just plain goofy. Why are you telling me that a man running for State Attorney General is opposed to a woman's right to choose? What does that have to do with anything? The last time I checked, the State Attorney General didn't vote on Federal issues. I realize that many political groups believe that all women vote entirely with their vagina at all times, but seriously, can we even pretend to stick to the facts. There's an ad that runs every 2 minutes in Syracuse with a cranky old woman telling us that Republicans in Washington are waiting for John Katko to get elected to Congress so they can eliminate Medicare. LOL! Once again, the last time I checked, Republicans already control Congress. Why would they need John Katko to pull off their nefarious plot? Is he some type of Svengali? Another ad, by the same lame incumbent, has a woman warning us that, if John Katko is elected, he will allow insurance companies to charge women 10 TIMES MORE than men for health insurance! Oh My! That's an awful lot of power for a first year Congressman. I'm pretty sure that isn't true but, once again, what do I know.
