A few thoughts while marveling at the activity around the shopping malls this weekend. Me? I’m going to try and stay as far away from it all as possible and simply enjoy cleaning up the tiki bar area in the warm November sun.

That was quite a thrashing the New England Patriots gave the Jets on Thanksgiving night. The highlight, which everyone has probably seen by now, is the spectable of Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez clotheslining himself against one of his offensive lineman’s butts. Has to be seen to be believed.

Look, I know to all liberals we conservatives must be inherently racist, but the Washington Post outdoes themselves with this incredibly stupid attack on Republicans, accusing them of – gasp! – racism in the recent criticism of Susan Rice as potential replacement to Hillary Clinton as Secretary of Sate. Last time I totalled up the number of previous African-American Secretary of States by party I came with Republicans 1, Democrats 0. Or, am I mistaken about Condoleezza Rice? I’m sick of the racism attacks and just wish someone – anyone – in the GOP would start calling Democrats racist. After all, they’re the ones, not Republicans, who have problems seeing the world through anything else but the prism of race.

R.I.P., Larry Hagman. I never watched “Dallas”, but I always thought he was fabulous in “I Dream Of Jeannie”.

I could have told you this was going to happen. The more one hears about the so-called “Arab Spring” the winter doesn’t sound so bad at all.

Prediction: mark my words, in two years, now former Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Shakedown City) runs for reelection and – gasp! – wins!
