the major sports news of the day is the resumption of the ncaa tourney and also the trade that brings tim tebow to the jets. tebow's prayers may bring an occasional miracle touchdown to the team but i think regular secular scoring would result in a better won-lost record.

FOR TOUGH GUY PAUL RYAN
yesterday, i complained of some of our hard line irish politicians, reminds me of the book i just started, "specimen days", by michael cunningham about the poorest, unluckiest family on the lower east side of new york city. i can see that its possible that any family who had survived such poverty and bad luck cannot be sympathetic for people today who have that safety net. in the first third of the 20th century those without connections had great difficulty surviving and they hold a grudge.
i have this belief that the descendants of the joad family of the, "grapes of wrath", are now republicans.
*******************************************************************************************************************
NOW REPUBLICANS AND THESE PEOPLE WERE WELL OFF:

PAUL RYAN DOES NOT REMEMBER IRELAND
sorry, if i just don't understand republicans of irish descent; paul ryan, pat buchanan, ronald reagan, etc. doesn't their family history show that their starving ancestors left ireland because they were starving and had no opportunity to improve themselves. shouldn't this make them more sympathetic to the poor and less sympathetic to arrogant commercial powers. its odd???????????????????????

THE GHOST OF CCNY -- NORFOLK STATE
CCNY needs this team ---
anthony evans, coach of norfolk state, the current cinderella team is new york bred. the team includes eight nyc guys who in the good old days would have been playing for CITY COLLEGE.
i watched evans closely during the game when the camera was on him. i read him as a realistic nyc guy who knows that disaster and defeat can happen to you at any time. crushing defeat awaits just around the corner. many of the other coaches fat-cat, and redfaced from rich schools seem more concerned about their next good-old-boy party and their next beer, funnel cakes, beef jerky, ribs and heart attacks.
sporting news says evans is making under 200k. i bet its closer to 80k.
today norfolk state team faces the university of florida. they seem to be more interested in being known as the gators rather than a university. thats odd .... hmmmm.
the oddsmakers yesterday had norfolk as 14 point underdogs. expectations as you can see are not too good. we'll see at 6 pm. seeya.

NEW YORK CITY GOES TO VIRGINIA
i smell movie. the story of norfolk state from virginia winning over (white bread school) missouri, 3rd ranked in the country (ap and espn coaches poll) in the first round of the ncaa tourney.
it was norfolk state's first appearance in the tourney whose record last year was 12-20. this year their record was 25-9, winning 9 of their last 10. kyle o'quinn. (although black) on the eve of st. patrick's day celebrated his irish name with an outstanding game. his hometown is NEW YORK CITY as is eight members of the team. the other standout interesting team personality is head coach anthony evans also from new york city who showed great natural emotional control in this excruciatingly exciting game until the final moments.
***************************************************************************************************************************
duke another white bread school also went down yesterday. it was a win-win situation for me: if they won my prediction would be good; if they lost its ok because i don't like them. so, yea - in general.

congratulations to my children for managing to move from idaho to wash dc over the past few days dodging tornadoes and winter weather traversing some of the same terrain as the doomed donner party in 1846 and that was in the summer and fall..
a huge u-haul truck now sits on my driveway probably spurring gossip among some of my less mentally endowed neighbors. having had experience from new jersey challenged humanoids i can imagine the created news to be:
"the u-haul arrived in the middle of the night."
"i was sure they would leave before the sun came up today but the old man probably couldn't load their meager possessions that fast."
"i was wondering when that old couple would move or die."
"they must be in foreclosure and are escaping."
"glad they're leaving because i'm tired of paying for birth control for sluts and welfare for the indigent."
"i'm definitely voting republican."

limbaugh, the showman is saying this is all entertainment and funny (har, har or as we say in new jersey, hee, hee). why isn't he laughing? because he might get sued or thrown off the airwaves? seriously mentally challenged people are all over the media.
i thought, imus was reformed. his silence on these lady matters is deafening. now after being fired from nbc he sends his expendable toady, bernie mcguirk, to spew crap.
nevermind, i'll just blend in at the santorum or romney churches as my survival plan.

nbc new state electoral projections for 2012 shows that once again republicans win total acreage including deserts, forests, and assorted mountainous wilderness (and of course backwoods new jersey).
but if you're going to count places where there are people, obama will sweep into his second term. i predict, and i am rarely wrong (at most twice a day), he will take at least 500 electoral votes. go stick your acreage, republicans.

yessss, we must purge the devil-people among us. probing the female population is a necessity. "rosemary's baby" must be neutralized. there can be no abortions. we will burn the devils and witches at the stake later on.
santorum and gingrich will save us.
attending covertly, a local gathering of witches and vampires last night it was noted that the coven was fearful of the republican cleansing of their evil. i think i saw nancy pelosi, joe biden, and the teletubbies in the crowd.
as you know the witches successful assault on the salem trials of 1692 ended the purity of spirit we had. since that destruction we have had fascism, communism and ipods.
fortunately the spawn of the clear headed salem population now numbers in the millions. it may be difficult for them to straighten out the rest of the world but they will try.

WEIRD SCIENCE
over the past six months i have had an intense relationship with the medical community and have found them seriously ignorant in helping aging people. they're good at fixing broken arms, and giving flu shots but when it comes to old people who obviously can't live forever the medical community is sadly deficient.
in the beginning the most learned men and mankind could rely on their shaman who could work wonders with garlic cloves, incense, dancing, chanting, smoke, and mirrors. we then worked our way up to spider webs, leeches, blood letting, and darkened rooms. accoutrements include sphygmomanometers, stethoscopes, white coats, otoscopes, and small chilly, fluorescent lit rooms with examining tables. about forty years ago so called pharmacologic miracle drugs started appearing and gave impotent doctors something to work with. some of it actually works. so what do they do? they over prescribe all this crap. if it doesn't work, they increase the dosage. most the time it is a one size fits all dosage.
seven months ago, my nephrologist was ready to send me to the glue factory .... ummmm .... dialysis factory because he reached the end of his text book. there is nothing remaining in his book. the cost of this option for the taxpayer or individual is about $50000 to $100000 per year. it is probably very profitable for the so called medical community and of course wall street hucksters and lobbyists. when my doctor kills me he'll say, "i did everything possible to save him.". if i could talk i would say. " f@@@* *&^" #&^%!#".
in addition to the pecuniary costs there is a quality of life issue. basically your life is over except for pain and suffering. all your time is spent feeding the dialysis business monster. if you go off dialysis your life expectancy is two weeks - yes, two weeks. before you are introduced to dialysis it is necessary to get a surgical procedure either in your arm or your ... ummm .... belly area which is necessary to put stuff in and take stuff out of your body in order to purify your system. this invasive surgery is no fun and will be a major annoyance for every second of the rest of your life. in addition there is a high probability of infection at these points. the purification affects all your fluids. the good stuff is also removed and has to be replaced. if everything works perfectly you have 50% of a normal life expectancy.
soooo, seven months ago i left (fired) my nephrologist and although he said a change of diet wouldn't help, i changed my diet, and altered my medications with some help of my family doctor. i'm still walking around, maintaining my home, and going places.
in my attempt to get a kidney transplant (i'm not sure i want this option either but i can always delay the procedure if it is offerred.) i have met a dozen doctors of various disciplines this procedure will give me a life expectancy of 75% of my normal life expectancy. most the doctors i have met are not enthusiastic over any action. i can only put them into two groups: those that say i'm going to die of something and those that are worried that i'll die under their care. i wouldn't want to ruin anyone's reputation.
in conclusion; being dead is inevitable and i want it to be painless and not inconvenient. feeding the wall street medical community beast should not be an option.

so sorry about whitney houston.

one of the people (a phd) i worked with lost a friend who fell down a flight of stairs after taking drugs and drinking. today's fictitious item is dedicated to this co-worker and his friend:
LIGHTS UP
Co-worker: my good friend fell down a flight of stairs and died .... sob, sob, whimper.
Me: thats so sad. how did that happen?
C: he was at a party and had a few drinks and stuff. he stepped outside to get some fresh air when it happened.
M: so he was drunk?
C: he also had some recreational drugs. very little.
M: just a few drinks and drugs?
C: we both got our phd's at the same time. he was so smart.
M: sooooo, he was very smart and was drinking and taking drugs and staggered outside for some fresh air and fell down a flight of stairs and died and thats why i should feel sorry for him and you.
C: he was just having fun .... whimper, sob, whine, whine, whine.
M: apparently he was not smart enough. i guess they'll give phds to anyone. all you have to do is pay them money and sit on your butt through hundreds of class hours. these things happen when you drink and take drugs. i guess you can make a (faux) silk purse from a sow's ear as they say. suck it up.
C: whine, whine, whine, whimper, ..................................................

just noticed that Charles McCord is no longer with imus. having not watched imus regularly after his expulsion and my old age, i realized this week that his longtime sidekick was missing.
"McCord announced his retirement in April 2011; his retirement became effective May 6. "

phew - i don't know if i have the time to do this. i've got that dollhouse in the mail; its been a week since i sat down with my jigsaw puzzle; going through my library materials (john grisham is soooooo good.), doing new flooring in the wash room (have to figure out how to jackup the machines in order to get the flooring under them.); waiting for the plumber this morning (upstairs bath); and trying to satisfy the medical (police) authorities for a kidney transplant (don't even know if i want one). i don't have time to get sick and die.

preying on my mind this morning is the weighty problem of buying another doll house kit. i just got rid of one but the problem is that doll houses attract me and they amplify, arouse and stimulate creative ability. i add a little here and a little there like a skylight, flag, circular staircase and stuff.
****************************************************************************************************************************
oops ...... i just bought one. $150 ---- a fair price for 2012 - not so good for 1999.

did i mention that the best morning show of february, 2012 is imus on fox business channel. you get an assortment of stuff, sports, and entertainment not available elsewhere. the BS, morning joe show is getting worse and worse with their agenda ridden discussions. no one there bucks the republican in charge, joe scarborough. watch imus, imus, imus, as long as he's on.

seems that paying a health benefit co-pay would offend jesus. i'm wondrin how and when jesus became a family planning, health care expert. if he were here today in this room with me now i would like to ask him what his qualifications are.
| PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS |
the presumably celibate and straight catholic hierarchy are saying that their 1st amendment rights are being violated by having to pay a co-pay for family planning and birth control stuff for which they are self proclaimed authorities.

$83000? $83000????????? WHAT??????????????
a full share for the superbowl champs is only $83000. what the h*%@ can you do with $83000 today especially in new york. what a bunch of cheap money grubbers. the players' medical bills will be more than that.
these guys are superstars. certainly they are worthy of appropriate paydays in comparison with hollywood stars and are worth more than wash. dc lobbyists.

it is reported that a giant's player (brandon jacobs) said brady's wife should just look cute and shut up.

just sayin'
why are there three financial/stock market tv channels? if businessmen are so busy, and creating jobs what the @#*& are they doing watching tv during the day. THE WORLD IS DROWNING IN BS.
i don't think steve jobs was watching tv. i don't think thomas edison or henry ford would have neen watching tv.

the last word on superbowl xlvi,,,, whatever .....
*******************************************************************************************************************
at the very least the superbowl took your mind off crazy guy, gingrich and schoolyard brats trump and romney.
how did our civilization evolve to this point with all the idiots in positions of authority?
its a mystery to me.
*****************************************************************************************************************
and you thought christie was full of hot air:
"Gov. Chris Christie said Monday that his staff is in contact with the New York Giants to see if a Super Bow victory rally can be held at Met-Life Stadium sometime this week."
typo not mine.
*****************************************************************************************************************
i bet g w bush is wondrin why history hasn't recognized his brilliance as yet. seems that he is still under cover, probably still hiding out somewhere in texas. the basement of the alamo (with pee wee herman's bike)?
carl rove popped up on fox news yesterday displaying his paranoid projections - its all about me attitude - concerned about that clint eastwood superbowl video. very sad. send in the men with white coats to take him away.

great game. i'm exhausted from watching.
two of the media complaints were:
1. it was boring including the ads;
2. the pats let the giants score w/ a minute to play so brady could get the ball back and win the game. they claim the giants were suckered into the (..... ummm ... winning) score.
answers:
1. here in new jersey we like more exciting sports: in football like, hopatcong vs. wharton or the roxbury swim team vs. dover.
and the ads; how about mike's barber shop or freund's gas.
2. (duh) pats didn't win the game. so many things could go wrong with the alternate strategy of holding the ball a little longer and being two points behind.

and there's also madonna during halftime. it doesn't get any better than this.

the great peyton manning's kid brother has now emerged from his chrysallus as, ELI THE MAGNIFICENT. like, MADONNA, he has only one name, ELI. everyone knows who, ELI, is.
sadly, fame is fleeting. in the event the giants should lose, ELI will quickly be forgotten. even worse, if he has a bad game like three interceptions, the masses will tar and feather him. sorry, eli, thats how it works.
on the upside super sunday is another payday. yea!

| THE MAD, REPUBLICAN TEA PARTY |
so sad that the media said that, trump would endorse gingrich.
they also said dewey beats truman;
and g. bush and israel bombed the world trade center;
and gore won the 2000 election;
and alf landon would beat FDR by 14 points:
and fox news blames obama for everything.

" .... New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski includes the most scrutinized left ankle in town .... ".
as he walked off the plane the other day his ankle and his gait did not appear up to full strength. i know that with all those cameras on him he would try his best to give the appearance of a perfect superbowl star.
so sad that the new york giants would take advantage.
GO GIANTS!

imus just called gingrich a classless pig. i'm sure he meant it in the nicest way. at any rate i'm glad that the automaton'hypocrite wing of the republican party won over the neanderthal wing. i'm sure the little (mentally not physically) people of northern new jersey will approve.
