The LA Kings failed to wrap it up tonight in New Jersey and the Devils won the game 2 to 1 in a game where the scoring seemed to freeze at 2 to 1 after a certain point. The Devils scored first and then the Kings tied it up and then the Devils went ahead for what proved to be for good. And with this the imaculate ten and 0 road record of the Kings is violated. I think a lot of Kings fans would much have preferred to win on a Saturday night with maximum viewers. But sometimes you have to reframe things your way. For instance the Kings still have at LEAST a three out of four chance of taking it all, and probably on Monday before a home crowd. For what it's worth the Kings did their damndest and were very aggressive. We need to reframe a lot of things now and then to make our side look not so bad. Obviously we are still ahead three games to two. In terms of other contests like the Wisconsin thing one could frame it as the Republicans blowing a lot of their millions on a petty contest where they actually lost control of the Wisconsin senate to a democrat and now no longer have all that money to spend on the fall campaign whereas President Obama and the Democrats still have their money. Some have argued that British Royalty actually has more power than we think because nobody can serve as Prime Minister unless personally officially selected by the Queen. Neither is the Queen bound by any legeslation that parliament issues. I didn't know that. Apparently Britain can't go to War unless the Queen personally passes on the notion. In terms of my Prophecy Book I could go one of two ways. The best way in retrospect to go in terms of salvage would be to edit the thing down a little and add a chapter each on homosexuality and abortion, and market the book as a "Restore the Spirit of America" book. But back to the Hockey game for instance. Who is the greater hero for instance? One who bets the farm on this game as a 'must win" for a whole host of legitimate reasons, or one with doubts who holds back and bets only a little? Is the one who bets little "Smart" or just a plain old Coward? Sometimes when you lose you win and when you win you lose. President Obama did not "go to the mat" in Wisconsin and Pat Buchannon says President Obama won't go to the mat for anybody or any issue, except perhaps gay marriage, where BIG MONEY is dangled in front of him. But in my eyes I'd have had a whole lot more Respect for this President if he had "bet the farm" on Wisconsin and lost. In terms of "nailing down that win" for Kings fans, it's something that you'll "feel a whole lot better AFTER it's accomplished". People never ask a winner WHY he won. The problem with President Obama is that there are SO MANY issues he has SOLD OUT on, that there is no honor for him whether he wins or loses because he already "lost the battle in his mind" before the conflict ever began. If you try and give it your all- - but in the end are just overcome- - - This is still an honorable Thing.
The point Chris Matthews appeared to be making on his show last night is that President Obama seems hell bent on blowing this race because at heart he isn’t a political fighter and has never felt comfortable holding the reins of power but at heart he’s an “academic”. My advice then would be to get out of the race as someone who doesn’t really care if he wins or not, and turn the race over to someone who Can, who has the stomach to do what it takes to win. We now learn that Presieent Bush was the President who ordered the Suxnex virus attack on Iran's computer system controling its nuclear reactors. It wasn't Israel. You will note that Israel was not even attacked during our fictional war with Iran. They were only after America. So we don't have "clean hands" as far as the nation of Iran is concerned. Making this fact public may now put American security at risk. Eric Holder is hiring a special prosecutor to investigate and track down this key leak. That's a very good idea. After all Dick Chaney may get away with "outing" CIA agents, but we expect more from Our Side. This President has a lot of accomplishments. Ron Reagan pointed out that his father would hype a bill before AND after it was voted on with some sort of “narrative” or story as to why this particular bill is needed and also its benefits. President Obama rescued the US Auto Industry and now they are number one. He passed the equal pay for equal work bill, and he did get metical care passed, which some polls indicate the American people actually want, and have already benefited from. Also need I remind you that while Republicans bash the economic stimulus bill many experts said that the stimulus needed to be bigger to “really get the job done”. I’ve sure heard that but the President has never SAID it. Also some one third of this so called “stimulus bill” was in fact “tax cuts” of the sort Republicans have been urging him to pass and have been saying for four years never occurred. The key to success seems either to be repeat the Truth over and over till it registers, but repeating a LIE over and over has also proved successful. To my thinking the President should adopt the “Don’t whine, or I’ll give you something to really cry about”. Since these Republicans blame him for everything and suspect him of everything, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt this President to adopt the adage “If you are going to Fail, then at LEAST fail as something respectable”. The President therefore should “go Big” and reinstate his Jobs program of last September- - all of it. Because if Matthews points out- - no matter how he backs off and compromises and “down sizes” the Republicans won’t accept ANYTHING, even when it would seemingly be to their advantage to do so. Why not be able to say to the voters “We worked with this President to get such and such measure passed”. No, no. He reminds me of that Stevie Winwood song that was around thirty years ago that has the line ‘- - and when even You don’t quite believe You”. If you don’t believe in Yourself how can you get anybody Else to believe in you?” Ask this President. As bad is Romney is in so many areas- - he’s confident. And the fact is that Mitt Romney will indeed be our next President, is Barock Obama lets him Win.

Mitt Romney continues
to win the Media Wars. KNBC news is on
now and they are still doing the whole echo chamber thing with six short words
the President spoke earlier. These are “The
private sector is doing fine”. What
Romney and the read of these brain dead republicans miss is that John Mc Cain
was shown to be the fool because of what happened a few weeks AFTER he made
this statement- - and like I say Mc Cain never apologized for making the
statement- and all of those republicans still voted for him. I think the President’s 2008 victory was only
54% to 46% or something. It was not a
landslide by any stretch of the imagination, so a lot of people STILL trusted
Mc Cain. It’s a little like that Planet
of the Apes movie where Zerah or whatever said “I learned this about the
patient when I dissect- - - - examined - - “ so the Feds put the word “dissect”
on some tape loop saying “What is it you were saying, Zerah”? Now the Cola industry is apologizing for
selling their product because it taste good and gives you a needed refreshing
lift on a hot day. Is that a crime. Is targeting new demographic groups by
advertisers a crime? Really??? Give me a
freaking break!
Union Rags won the
Belmont Stakes not by a nose but by inches.
Peewee Herman’s erection spans more distance than separated these
horses. I told Bill if I were betting I’d
be placing my bets on Painter. This is
because Union Rags and Denahan were five to two favorites and my motto is
betting favorites in horse races is always a fool’s mission. For the first time in perhaps decades I was
proven wrong this time. However with “I’ll
Have Another’s” being scratched from the number eleven slot in the race, the
odds would have been different. Union
Rags was back in the pack most of the race while Painter was out in front much
of the race and made the mistake of opening up an inside track, which I don’t
think he had to do. “Union” had a new
jockey for this race. There are twelve
horses in recent decades that won the Derby and the Preakness but lost in the
Belmont, and a perhaps not surprising number of these were due to injuries. I routed for “Real Quiet’ one year who lost
by a nose in the Belmont. “Atagun” cane
in third and Street Fighter (?) came in fourth.
FH contacted me before the race and informed me that he and a lot of his
Romulan friends were routing for Delehan, who fell down badly in this
race. Delehan had the liability of never
having won on a dirt track whereas “Union” screwed up in two prior races, which
raised a red flag with me. I turned on
the TV in time for the previous race on the grass course. In that race it was Hudson Steel as the
favorite and out in front a lot coming in third or something, “Papa Bodi” came
in second, and Desert Blonk or something winning that race. The official Belmont Stakes wasn’t run till
about twenty to four.
We had a chicken casserole
with a tomato base for dinner, and I didn’t have seconds, if they offered
them. There was a dinner roll that
tasted like Ellie Mae’s cooking. I mean
talk about Al-dente, this thing was like a rock it was so hard and crisp. Right now I am running the grounds through
again straining the last drops of coffee out of these beans. The odds of the Devils winning the Stanley
Cup have not fallen to eight to one. But
they are not 75 to 1 as I heard that the Las Vegas betting was going. And that’s if you don’t count either the home
ice or the “desperation factor”, which can sometimes work for a team in terms of crowd support and sometimes work against you because the team just "falls apart" from the pressure. We of course are rooting for the Kings to win tonight because Saturday Night is a good evening for it, and it will boost NBC's ratings.
