Had some computer problems over the past week that put a crimp in my return from Massachusetts. But now, like a bona-fide Richard Nixon, I’m tanned, rested, and ready to blog my a$$ off for what promises to be an exciting election year. But what to blog about?

Goodboys? I have in my little grimy hands the gourses we will be playing this year and will soon be providing your own personal guide to the courses that even the most loathsome hacker can play if he/she has the will and the dinero.

My golf game? How ’bout we leave that until I hit the range this Friday – I have a couple of things to work out.

Golf in general? The golf world is buzzing about Kevin Na’s interminable performance this past Saturday. I’m with the majority of golf fans who want him just to get up and hit the damned ball.

“You know, when I’m over the ball, it would be nice if it was quiet,” Na said. “But … you can hear them talking, like ‘pull the trigger, pull the trigger,’ ‘hit it,’ which makes me back off even more. So that part was a bit tough.”

You want quiet, Kevin? Do yourself a favor: if you get an invite from Exec-Comm to participate in a Goodboys Invitational weekend, decline. The trash talk never ceases, especially when Ben “The Funny Guy” Andrusaitis is in your foursome.

The weather? We’re days into 100+ degree temps until the second week in October, the pool is 84 with a bullet (another two degrees and we enter the “sublime zone”!), and we have our first excessive heat warning of the year. Welcome to Arizona!

The rabbits? Boy, are we having a tough time trying to bond Marlie rabbit. First Butterscotch, now the “Beastie Boys”. But where there’s a will there’s a way.

The Red Sox? Check back with me in a month. This team is a mystery.

The Beach Boys? They’re sounding great in concert, can’t wait for Vegas on the 27th and their new album due out June 5.

Politics? Even though Rasmussen and – gulp! – the New York Times/CBS poll have Mitt Romney leading President Obama by triple digits, that’s not what I’m looking for. The fact that you have: a) an incumbent polling at mid-’40s favorability at this time in the election cycle, and: b) a challenger who has his operation already up and willing and able to punch back twice as hard at whatever the Obama Chicago thugocracy throws at him gives me reason for hope.

Forget about the myths of inevitability and invincibility the mainstream dino-media will be shoving down the throats of Americans (with increasing hysteria, BTW) as we get closer to November. Fact is, this is a veryvulnerable President who, between the cynical and pathetic “Republican war on women” meme of the past month and his coming out in favor of gay marriage, has now finally revealed his true radical agenda to the American people. Look for lots of focus on the coming home to the GOP of the so-called “Reagan Democrats” – the blue-collar electorate in the “rust belt” of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin – this fall. Americans are finding out in droves just what an amateur and pretender Barack Obama is; I guess that just makes us all racists.

I’m glad to be back.
