A few thoughts and notes while I’m in the midst of a total golf weekend:
R.I.P. Willburrrrrr. Mr. Ed was a great show – he may have been a horse, but it was Willbur’s wife who was the fox.
You silly goose. Don’t you understand that with modern-day liberalism it’s all about sex, one’s sexual identity, and the absolute destruction of the traditional family unit. First it taking homosexuality out of the closet and shoving it down our collective throats at every turn. Now it is transgenderism. Coming next will be full acceptance of polygamy and pedophilia. Because once you’ve started down that slippery slope…
This is actually pretty funny. I’m thinking that if “Doggy Duval” McLaughlin and I were to win the 2016 Goodboys Invitational the first thing we’re gonna do is staff an Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
Not only is Frankie and The Pool Boys a damned fine surf band, I absolutely dig their name.
It’s getting to the point where if Clay Buchholz is pitching for the Red Sox I don’t even bother to watch, it’s just too painful. Which is why I wish they had given Tim Lincecum at least a look.
Reason #1,239,017 why I prefer to get my energy from fossil fuels.
Before she started taking herself oh-so-seriously and wrecked her appearance with that new look I really did used to like Megyn Kelly. But just like everyone else who messes with Donald Trump, it just isn’t going to end well with you.
This may sound sexist – OK, it is – but I just have to say, there are some, to be brutally honest, chunky chicks playing golf on the LPGA. Which is OK, but golfers like In Bee Park and Shan Shan Feng shouldn’t be wearing tight clothes out there. Of course, Laura Davies typically goes loose but that doesn’t help, either. Of course, they’re all great players – like Craig Stadler and John Daly, just goes to show you don’t have to look like a Hollywood star to pulverize a golf ball.
Yet another example of the Donald Trump campaign’s fearlessness in attacking Hillary Clinton. Let this be an example to all Republicans out there going forward: nice guys finish last, and politics ain’t beanball.
A big “Happy Birthday” to the twins, my wife Tracey and her sister Tammy, who have made my life quite the experience for the past 30+ years. Just like a roller coaster, the ups and the downs are what has made it interesting. Enjoy your respective days, and my love to you both!
“Coming next will be full acceptance of polygamy and pedophilia. Because once you’ve started down that slippery slope…”
Of course, the difference being that one is a decision between multiple CONSENTING ADULTS, and one is taking advantage of UNDERAGE CHILDREN, but don’t let facts get in the way of a good Trump-like rant . . . .
And given that Megyn Kelly’s nightly ratings have never been higher, and trying to compare a cable outlet ratings to that of a broadcast outlet being disingenuous, she’ll do just fine. That she backed off her usual hard-hitting style was disappointing to me – she’s usually much better than that – but I suspect she didn’t want to alienate other potential interviews who would run away screaming if she took on Trump full bore like she should have.

Once again – as usual – you’re missing my point, and you don’t know your history very well. I’m sure you’re aware there was a time in history where – wrongly, so once again you don’t put words in my mouth – homosexuality was illegal and you had all kinds of sodomy laws on the books. You can already see the beginnings of various movements under the umbrella of “progressivism” to legalize or at least soften the penalties for pedophilia (I’m sure you’ve heard of NAMBLA). And traditional marriage has been under assault from every corner. If you can’t see this for what it is, you’re the one who has an issue with the facts, Jack.

…but the larger point of the original link was to show how vapid and desperate modern-day liberalism and the Progressive movement has become.
Once at the forefront for the great movements of the day, like protecting the rights of workers to unionize, and workplace safety and humane treatment, and the great Civil Rights movement of the late 20th century, it is now reduced to fighting the TRULY GREAT battles of 21st century human rights. Like, you know, making sure every florist must provide flowers, and every pizza maker and cake baker pizzas and cakes for gay weddings, and allowing transgenders to use the restrooms of their choice.
The writer of the linked piece is right to express his outrage at equating the LGBTQ movement with the Civil Rights movement, and the fact that identity politics is really the only arrow left in modern-day liberalism’s quiver shows just how esoteric and marginal it has become.

There was once a time when bathing a mule in a bathtub was illegal in Georgia (no joke).
Point being, some people have progressed in the last 100 years or so.
Only a rare few (like those dirtbags in NAMBLA) think that pedophilia is a good thing, given that it takes advantage of UNDER-AGED CHILDREN. And if it were up to me, they’d be in jail right now for espousing those beliefs.
Polygamy? CONSENTING ADULTS.
That’s the bottom-line here, bro.
Traditional marriage is only under assault if someone came out in favor of banning it, and no one has done so, nor will anyone do so. Your no longer being the only mandated game in town in no way makes it “under assault”.
