Short & Quick

Politics & Plane Travel
A couple things that seem obvious to me follow.

One more time – Sara Palin is disliked, and/or hated by the left because she’s a MILF who can recognize the difference between a man-to-man defense or zone (having been a former point guard), she cooks/cleans without bitching about it and knows how to load and fire a shotgun.

It ain’t brain surgery. Most of this country’s uptight broads can’t find a kitchen and have put on so much tonnage over the years thus making themselves attractive only to felons who are walking free after doing three years in the Mansfield Reformatory.

As for the men who don’t like her, the only thing I can think of is they have no balls or are gay. What’s there not to like?

Would I vote for her for President? Ask me that question when you tell me who’s she up against. And no, in my book, you don’t have to have an IQ of 150 to be the leader of the free world. A little common sense goes a long way. However, I was disappointed with her resigning as Governor. I know she wanted to cash in, but that would cost her some votes – including possibly mine. If you quit once, you might quit again.

As for this airport hullabaloo, I don’t get it. I don’t have a problem with going through a screening machine that gives off a little radiation. I’ll take that over the groping anytime if given a choice, unless of course, the skirt doing the groping has a slim waist and big jugs. Either way, I don’t care. This is a clearly an example of a story the media loves, so it (media) gives it legs (makes it bigger than it is). Stop bitching, get moving and get on the F%$#@ plane!

Browns

Trivia time – What team can go +5 in the turnover battle and still lose?

That’s’ right – the Cleveland Browns.

Geez, I wasn’t aware that if you put eight in the box and stopped Peyton Hillis, you could stop the Browns offense cold – especially with Josh Cribbs out of the line-up.

For those who wanted the play-calling to be more dynamic in that second half, I have one simple question?

Who in a Cleveland uniform did you want to get the ball to?

As for McCoy, we felt he was due to hit a wall and said so. He played okay. The dude is accurate as hell. However, on several occasions, he held the ball too long when he should have tossed it out of bounds. That has to improve. He looked indecisive for the first time. He’s allowed.

By the way, he made a couple excellent throws on that last drive – including the pass that got picked. He nearly stuck that into an impossible window. The dude is EXTREMELY accurate.

The “O” line had a bad day against the Jaguars. They didn’t run block well, nor did they give McCoy sufficient time to allow someone (anyone) to get open.

As for Sunday, yes, we see the Browns winning over Carolina regardless of who is under center. Both McCoy and Wallace should be able to put enough points on the board to earn a victory. But don’t expect a huge margin of victory. Besides, 23-20 still counts as a W.

My boy Vince Young seems to have worn out his welcome in Tennessee. If you can’t play for that guy (J. Fisher), you have issues. Again, we love his (Young’s) skill set, stating from day one this guy is a potential football freak. However, we can’t account for attitude, work ethic, common sense, selfishness, maturity, etc. Obviously, Vince has some issues that are not football related. That’s too bad. He’s only scratched the surface of what this corner thinks he’s capable of and has still won nearly 2/3 of the games he’s played in.

Maturity is a character trait that some people acquire later in life, or perhaps never at all. That is especially true for many babied athletes who have been "enabled" since their teenage years.

Vince seems like he has a very thin skin – not good for an NFL QB, where you are only as good as your last throw/game, unless your name is Manning or Brady.

Speaking for maturity, I’m curious to see how my other boy, Michael Vick, handles “Success II.” Remember, anyone can say and do all the right things when you’ve been humiliated. How do you handle your business when everyone is kissing your ass again is when you find out about a person. We’ll see this off-season with Vick.

Request Granted
Back to politics, a couple of you have asked me to handicap the Republican field for 2012. Here’s a very early, quick look.

S. Palin – likely unelectable. The media has destroyed her image by effectively building a narrative for 50% of the country that she’s a moron. She also hasn’t helped herself by leaving the governorship (already covered above). However, she’s the one the left wants to run against thinking she has the most holes (that’s not a play on words).

T. Pawlenty – nothing special.

M. Romney - Typical politician in terms of looks and approach. Has money and will have establishment backing but his health care approach (similar to Obamacare) when he was Mass. Governor and the fact that he’s a Mormon will hurt.

N. Ginrich – The smartest of the group, who would hammer Obama in a debate, but has baggage – including when he ditched his cancer-stricken wife for another babe a long time back. Not good.

Bobby Jindhal - I think I've F-up the spelling, regardless, he's intriguing. He's a hard target for the left to hit beacuse he's not a white middle-aged dude. The guy has doen a good job as Louisiana Governor and will likely run. I see him more as a #2, but then again, the Republicans are going to win his state and wouldn't need him on the ticket to do so.


M. Huckabee – I admire the guy. He lost a ton of weight and has done a nice job on his television show without losing credibility. Pretty bright and more likeable than most. Still, he wouldn’t be my first choice.

Yes, we still like Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, who no one is including in either the first tier or second tier of candidates. Not only do we like him because he knows economics inside out (something that is desperately needed at the top right now), but because he’s a straight arrow and hard to hit from the left. He’s a nice, boring guy with a nice looking family. He’ll need a PR person around him who can take his skill set (knowledge of the issues) and couple that with some creative way to make him visually appealing to the public (aka: somewhat charismatic). Yes, I am available on a consultant basis. By the way, Ryan probably won't run.

Look out for Governor Christie of New Jersey. The fat boy is kicking ass and taking names, is good on camera and not afraid to mix it up. He's everyone's GOP VP early choice already because he comes from a coveted democratic state. I doubt he will run - too soon. However, his name will surface a lot, especially as the #2.

Aas for Marco Rubio, newly elected Governor of Florida - again, too soon, but a young, talented up and comer who is setting himself up nicely for 2016. He's the closest thing the Republicans have to a rock star in the party. Until we find out he sleeps with Romanian midgets - three at a time.

You would be amazed how much opposition research goes on. If you have a skeleton, they'll find it. That's why so many don't run.


There are a few others out there most of you don’t know of yet and/or will surface later, so I’ll stop there for now. We can cover those dudes at a later date.

Enjoy your turkey weekend.

Now time for a blast from the past - “Hey, who the hell is the athletic director around here?”

Be good!
